Bucks-Nets game about to head into a triple overtime. 112-112 with 19.6 left in the 2nd OT.

I can't recall the last time I've seen a game go into triple overtime. This is a heck of a game.

Ugly in OKC. They won't be making any knee jerk trades though. So we can forget about tryna steals players off them for 75c on the dollar.

Nick Young might be certifiably insane. He says his swagger is just like Michael Jackson or Prince. I think he could walk into pretty much any store in the country outside of LA and chances are nobody will know who he even is. What an egotistical psycho. This guy's inflated view of himself is sad.

Holy $#%!, check out this score......http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400578467

Toronto is for real....you could say "well it's against Milwaukee", but they've been playing pretty tough lately and had the same record as us going into tonight.

I guess they did have a triple OT game in their last one which may have worn them out but it's not like it was last night.

Even Bruno Caboclo is getting playing time, and he's supposed to be two years away from being two years away.

I wonder if Lebron thinks about maybe have choosing Phoenix. Cleveland sucks.

They won't be winning it all this yr thats pretty sure. I wonder which will happen first: LeBron getting them together or LeBron having enough of Waiters and Irving (to a lesser extent) and forcing the management to trade one (or both) of them.

He didn't leave Miami because he thought Cleveland will give him a better chance at winning a ring this year.

He left Miami because he wants go back home and wants to raise and his family and kids in the town that he grew up in.

I'm sure if the kids had their choice, they'd rather grow up in Miami than Cleveland though.

Lebron doesn't look happy in Cleveland. I don't care what he said.
Bet if he knew how bad they'd be, he'd reconsider. Still early though but want them to continue to lose.

Looking at Toronto's schedule they have had a pretty easy go of it. Sure they are 10-2 but they have had 9 home games and three away games. They faced a bunch of lottery teams too (7 games out of 12) with the only substantial wins coming against Washington and Memphis (both home games). What is sad is they may be the best the East has to offer.

Not sure what is going on with the Cavs. Three studs in Lebron, Love, and Irving yet they are just 5-6. Love has practically disappeared ... points, rebounds down ... shooting percentage is way down.

The Love haters were right. He's not a winner.

You've got a point with the home games, but their opponents have a 49.6% winning percentage, while ours hae a 44.4%. We've actually had the 2nd easiest schedule in the west behind Denver and I think only a couple of eastern teams have had easier ones. So if you are going to count that against them, you have to count it against us. But my main point is they have been extremely solid and blowing out a pretty good team is impressive. First time I looked at the score it was 101-59 in the 3rd.

Same thing happened to Wade and Bosh. Bosh is putting up much better numbers now. Plus the Heat started out 9-8 their first year. I think they will figure it out.

I think Love's rebounding numbers are down mostly because Varejao is such a good rebounder as is LeBron. In Minnesota Pek was an avg rebounder and whoever played SF obviously wasn't nearly the rebounder LeBron is.

I did think his shooting percentage would improve though with more open shots, so not sure what is up there. Probably getting passes from LeBron and Irving is just a big adjustment from Rubio.

As for the Cavs and the Raptors, the Raps are killing them tonight. It's amazing how many post they have in their game thread. They will probably end up with 200 pages just in their game thread for tonight.
