Coming out party for Perry Jones.....Adams playing with fire too....this will be good for them in the long run. Just have to survive the injuries.

Telfair played like 38-40 minutes and shot the ball like crap and turned it over with a chance to take the lead....but he did run the team.

Maybe a Nedovic deal there?

Not surprised Westbrook out too. I think we got this one (surging ahead of OKC this season). They're finished and might even miss the playoffs this year although I suppose they could just barely squeeze in.

I can't see OKC having a winning record while both Westbrook and Durant are out, and that could last through December. If both are back in late December, then OKC could still salvage the season and get in the playoffs as a lower seed, which would stink for any team meeting up with them in the first round.

It doesn't help Reggie Jackson is out too. They are just a mess right now

New topic:

Am I the only one who finds all the LeBron-is-back-in-Cleveland! hype pretty cringeworthy? The guy pissed on the team and left for several years, comes back for tons of money, and all of a sudden he's their hero again? Did you see today's picture on ESPN's website? I mean, whatever happened to self-respect?

Listen, he didn't need to go back. He could have stayed in Miami or moved on to another team if he wanted. I really have to believe there were a number of other options for him (possibly all better ones) so I'm not going to get down on him for returning to his birthplace which is something he didn't have to do. Prodigal son, gone home, which is actually a pretty good story. I still want Cleveland to get beat, however.

Yea, it is real cringe worthy to me as well. But wagoner's would have hyped him up no matter where he went.

Some pretty hilarious attempts by Mark Jackson trying to pronounce Dellavedova in today's Cavs@Bulls game.

Sheesh. Harden so far with 26 pts on 5-14 shooting and 14-14 on fts. The guy (and the NBA Officials) make me sick.

I don't care that LeBron chose to go back, Turk, and I'm not criticizing him. He's a player, he can play wherever he wants. I'm referring to all the fans and the management in Cleveland sucking up again after he ditched them once, and the NBA and the sports newscasters trying to turn it into some big emotional milestone for us all.

It would have been a milestone only if the fans said, "Tell you what, we're going to stay kind of quiet until you've been back a while and the team's winning. Then if everything's going great, we'll probably forgive you."

If the fans had done that Shazam, do you think he would have come back?

If you want the best player on the planet to come to your environment, you better suck up to him because I bet you there will be many other teams lineup (maybe some will even have their teeth removed) ready to jump in (including the Warriors). I don't see anything wrong with that, especially in a city like Cleveland which doesn't have much in the way of sports to cheer for.

Hey guys, I know this is probably not the best topic to write in but I didn't find better one. So I'm a big Warriors fan from Slovenia and I love to watch NBA videos, mixes and I'm really trying hard to make some.

Week ago I uploaded my new mix, NBA mix 2015 HD and I really did put a lot of work in it, but it didn't succeed. Only 400 views.. I don't know if is it really that bad or it just didn't get enough attention..

Just look at my video if you want, there's also a lot of Warriors in it. If you would like it I'd really appreciate if you'd share it with your friends.

Nice. I can see that you put a lot of work in it. You ought to try and sell it to the NBA, lol.

Not enough Warrior good stuff in there for me (more of them losing close games) but still nicely done. Might want to try the general board if you haven't already.
