After that half, I see why. Our offense is ugly without Sabonis. With him, it looks fluid and usable.

Going OT because of missed free throws.

I'd rather have win than ping pong ball.

Justin Holiday played like a star tonight. Domas was the key to. Making everything work. Got some solid little play from Oshae and Terry Taylor tonight. Duarte (rolled ankle) and Goga (sore foot?) suffered injuries that pulled them from the game early. Craig was trying, but just couldn’t get it together tonight. Levert actively hurt the team tonight. He was checked out defensively, had a lot of costly turnovers on bad passes, and even actively blamed others (like Justin late in the game, twice) and pouted on the way back. He’s played well lately, but this was not his game, tonight.

Oh yeah, Jeremy Lamb deserves a shoutout too. Played real solid offensively tonight, worked on defense, and even lucked into a steal with some active hands.

No "AND1" on phone app so I'll comment.

I so want to dump him. Everyone has bad nights but you know what they say about doing the same thing over and over again . . .

Yeah LeVert is trash! I'd take a 2nd and an Expiring to move him. Our guards are trash. I'm for moving Brogdan in the summer and using Sabonis the way Denver uses Jokic as a point center. We need to get rid of LeHurt and Brogdon and gets some better guards especial point.

If Cleveland would do Rubio and a 2nd for LeVert I say, "Do it, Do it now!"

OT win against a team that isn't even trying to win.
It would be nuts to trade Sabonis. In my mind the question is when do you shut him down?
I'm happy if we get an expiring contract for Levert. Bad as he was tonight I still think coming off the bench he could help one of the good teams currently struggling with their bench play.
Two FRP's for this guy? KP must have access to some pretty nice drugs.
