Cleveland Cavaliers VS Washington Wizards

[RT31]

5) Everyone say goodbye to the "Dress Your Dog" concession on the 100 level. In fact, Uncle Ted has done a good job of upgrading the stands on the ground level. (I recommend the pulled pork sandwich from a new stand that has taken the place of the old, crappy, Chinese food stand).

That was the highlight of my night...i got the sweet potato fries...
You weren't the asian dude doing the urkel were you?

I think he will be able to make up for it with craftiness to some extent, but I disagree that he got everywhere he wanted to on the floor. He was not able to turn the corner and drive by his man with consistency and had trouble getting into the lane.

I don't think he will ever be able to attack the seams like he used to, but luckily he's a very good shooter so unlike a stackhouse type player, his game shouldn't decline too much if he's on the right team.

RE: Capspace and the **** players who use it up

EG did not compound the problem by signing **** players with long contracts, but nevertheless his contracts to Armstrong and Yi look like wasted cap space. Without expirings we would have had valuable cap space remaining, so that's a net negative, not a plus.

I think there weren't better options on the table so EG went for it, which is just like his MO. I think he should have been more patient.

OK, so what big men were available on cheap 1 year contracts besides Yi/Armstrong? I think the answer is Josh Powell who went to Atlanta, but I'm not sure there are that many competent big men willing to sign for 1 year, veteran minimum contracts.

Yeah, but if you're going for incompetence, might as well avoid paying it a guaranteed contract. I would have D-League All-starred the position like we did with SF last year. Then if injury actually strikes, sign a crappy center to a guaranteed contract.

Ok agreed, but either way we're talking about bottom of the barrel for a year.

It's about time to see what Seraphin and Booker can do. If neither are close to ready, I might try to sign Josh Boone who is trying to get back into the NBA.
