Wish we had Chuck because the Cavs are going to kill us on the inside with Brad Daugherty and Larry Nance. They've also got John "Hot Rod" Williams coming off the bench so it's basically a three headed monster big we're facing tonight. Crazy how well Mark Price has been shooting the ball lately. That's one bad white boy. Matter of fact the Cavs have three white boys that can really shoot the basketball. Craig Ehlo is an underrated guard even though he's known for getting smoked by MJ that one time. Danny Ferry hasn't lived up to his lotto selection, but he's still a dangerous big man and a capable shooter.

As for us, we'll have to lean heavily on Hersey Hawkins tonight...Armon Gilliam steps in with his Gumby style haircut to man the 4 spot. Mike Gminksi is our starting center and he's gonna be BBQ chicken tonight. How old is Ricky Green? Forgot about Johnny Dawkins getting hurt at the start of the season. We picked Green up out of the bargain bin, but he's held down the point guard spot well for us. Coach Lynam gonna trap the Cavs tonight? It's our only hope on defense. If we can get a game out of Ron Anderson we'lre gonna be in this thing. Manute Bol shot a three the other night! WTF MAN! More of those please! It'll take a physical effort from Rick Mahorn tonight off the bench. Not sure why Lynam is starting Mike G when Mahorn has been the guy, but whatever. Are the young guys Mario Elie or Jayson Williams going to play? I hope so, both have potential in this league. Elie looks like a big time shot maker in the future and JayWill is a hell of a rebounder! Why do we always give our young talent away?


I hope you're not comparing Tobias Harris to Charles Barkley. Otherwise appreciate the wayback machine lol.

Buddy Hield is the modern-day Hersey Hawkins.


Oh no no no...Barkley would be Embiid all day.

Lol at Sixers gameplan of giving KJ Martin and Ricky Council the green-light to bully Niang or Merill

Mitchell is just hitting his shots. Just lockdown the rest and trap him to win this game on his own

Why is Payne taking the last shot with Maxey and Hield on the floor?

Seems like passing lanes to those two were covered and the shotclock is about to run out after we run that 3 man action.

Why don't we have a big man lob threat ?
He would eat now with Maxey, Hield, Payne and soon to be Lowry.

Nice to see us not having any problems on offense despite having two guys who can’t shoot 3s and a below average shooter most game. But Cavs seems to not have tighten their defense yet

We're in the game because Maxey and Hield are matching up with Mitchell and Garland's scoring, while our bench has been outplaying theirs. Payne has 7, Bamba has 5, and Council has 3. Our frontcourt is also holding up well, with Martin, Oubre, and Reed stepping up their scoring. Surprisingly, the Cavs' frontcourt defense has been soft.

Have to give some credit to Nurse for his creative lineups and getting the guys to bring energy

If Doc was at the helm, we’d be down by 20

To be fair, Doc was usually a good coach in these situations

Bamba on the other hand is just abysmal
