Btw, did anyone notice that Shamet, Meth Curry did not come into the game at the end when we put the bench in? Wondering if there are some trade talks going on.

I’ve literally watched this Lakers-Cavs game enough to know I’m 150% in on Dedmon.

Didn't realize how brutal the schedule has been. The season started 34 days ago. We've played 19 games. That's crazy.

Nash needs to get the minutes down ASAP for the stars. Hopefully we start getting more blowouts where our guys can just sit the last 6+ minutes of the game.

This is where we really miss Dinwiddie.

Harden joined Durants team and Kyrie is the second option. So that makes him third and the facilitator but I think tonight we can see how effective a closer he is. That was awesome to watch. Wow!

Was only able to watch the last 6 minutes of the game and oh boy am I glad I did. That was some beautiful closing basketball they the team and it was great seeing Harden step up to close this game out.

He closed out the game against Orlando, KD closed the Milwaukee game, Kyrie closed the first Miami game and Harden closed out Miami tonight. One night, it will be Joe Harris.

Well, if James doesn't wait until the 4th quarter to start cutting people up, we may be able to coast for a few nights.

He doesn't have to, but he needs to still be aggressive.

Give me the 2nd and 4th quarters at least.

My educated thoughts on the game.

    Defense, rebounding and turnovers were way better. They need to be league average at least for this team to go places.

    Offense stunk for long stretches. I'm glad the team could turn on it and pull a double digit lead out of nowhere but don't like how disjointed things looked for most of the game. Harden in particular needs to be more aggressive, as soon as he was the game turned.

    Outside of a 42 second stretch TLC was trash and I still contend he be traded for snacks at the concession.

Kyrie always does his thing.

Seems like the perfect game for Harden to step up. Instead he takes 2 shots the entire half!

Playing like **** again. This trade looks dumber and dumber everyday.

Lol What?

LeVert hasn’t seen the floor in two weeks and could miss the season.


I would rather have Allen, Prince and the ability to use those picks in trades.

Hopefully Harden goes back to normal soon.

Calm down.

As soon as we find a serviceable C to soak up PT, we won't be as vulnerable and you won't miss Allen as much. James is finding his footing with the team, and doing his best to satisfy Nash's demands. We're winning now, and we'll be even better soon.

I’ve been wanted him here since 2018. He’s be a great compliment and a change of pace at the position for this team.

Yeah, McGee is fine but I'm not sold on him. Plus, it sounds like Cleveland are looking for a mint for him, I'm cool with Marks if they ask for our DPE and 2 2nds. Dedmon is free, and when motivated is just a bit better overall. He gives you some (but certainly not all) of the vertical threat and rim protection that JaVale does, and adds legit 3-point ability, more court vision and fewer fouls. He's from the Spurs development system, so Sean should have an "in" with him.

I think he was ready to shed the ballhog label. He dominated usage in Houston out of necessity and the GM's philosophy, but his time in OKC convinced me that he can be truly great in more ways than just a gunner.

That said, it's good to see him such into that mode when we need him. It's so refreshing to see someone as accomplished as Harden sacrifice and do whatever the team needs to win. Go Nets!
