This is a very lose able game but I think we pull through.

We will need at least 2 of our young 3 to have good games. I think Kuzma will have a much easier time against this front line than the one in Utah. Ingram should have a favorable match up as well. Who knows with Ball.... and Hart will foul a 3 point shooter at least once a half....

W today and W vs Bulls. Anything different would be beyond unacceptable.

I want Rondo back more than I want LeBron back.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how pissed will you be if JC drops 30+ and we get an L?

I do.

I think mid season LBJ ball is boring. He walks it up, idle dribbles for 15 seconds and then often makes a great play.

I prefer seeing the ball being swung around as if on a string until the opposing defense gets dizzy and finally leaves someone open for a high quality shot attempt. That’s what I want to see for the half court offense. Not LBJ slow bouncing standing still.

Over that, I’d prefer to see the fast break every time down the floor.

That requires defense. That’s why I love hard nosed defenders; the fast break with any combo of Lonzo, Rondo, LBJ, Kuzma, Hart, Ingram, Beasley, Stephenson, JMG... needs no system.

That's a bit modest DD, I know it's a 10.

Or a part of you (3/10) will feel proud of our prodigal son?

Cleveland is faster than us at everything right now.

Man the day Zo figures out his jumpshot it's going to be a gamechanger. His first step is so dangerous.

Can’t shoot and we down. Same ****, different game.

We all might be dead by the time that happens.

Ok... how many shots from less than 2' have we air balled this year? That's about 4 on Ingram alone.

Kuz back to real life following that 40 point explosion.

So if we end up losing this game is it time to start panicking?
