Hunter has been a great fit with the Cavs

Also looks like Windy is losing weight gradually. Good for him.

Oh oh oh…


Mobley is a damn beast

Perfect fit. I'm envious of the Cavs' FO.

Raptors were their own worst enemy tonight so many costly and unnecessary turnovers and mistakes.

Celtics were ripe for the picking tonight (we clearly are saving ourselves for the trip tomorrow to the surging Pistons) and basically coasted the whole game

Cavs were starved of shooters a couple of years ago too. We spent a couple seasons investing in perimeter shooting - got Strus, Merrill, Jerome, etc… and guys like Mobley and Okoro were slowly improving their shooting. Then all kinda came together with Atkinson.

Y’all need a similar thing. More shooters and an offensive system that isn’t Banchero and Wagner taking turns taking contested shots.

Like there...Got multiple open looks and brick them...Really need to address this in the offseason. There has to be shooting available.

KCP is a major letdown for the magic this season too.....He was at 38% from 3 or better in each of the last 5 seasons,this season is at 30%

Maybe this is because he don't have the same look from 3 he had with LBJ or Jokic but still a major letdown for them

Yup, so many people underrate the Jokic bump.

[Vee-Rex]

Not a single Cavs player is top 70 in minutes per game. Crazy.

I agree. I just don't think the Magic FO would sign/trade for guys that are not viewed as positive defenders... which makes it almost impossible to round out a balanced roster that way.

All according to plan. Look at our minutes. Most was Scottie with 34, vs Tatum with 40, White with 37, Hauser(!) with 39. Darko is all about development, getting the young'uns plenty of meaningful action, letting them learn. I have no problem with how it went tonight. Congrats on the win!

Nico is actually watching Luka in warmup.. lmao

Good game Bucks and Rockets. Advantage should be Bucks since Lillard is a better closer. Bucks are making Thompson switch off him consistently

[C3H6N6O6]

It is a random Tuesday night and I get to watch these nice Rockets-Bucks and Suns-Grizzlies games. NBA really provides entertainment like no other league.
It is weird seeing so much bitching about it by "real" fans on this board and elsewhere. Are they even watching the games or just going by "vibes" spread by guys like Barkley and other idiots?

[tundraknight]

It’s a shame the Mavs are literally without all of their bigs for tonight’s match up against the Lakers.

Hypothetical if the Mavs can get healthy I believe they would defeat the Lakers in a 7 game series. Way too much size for the Lakers to handle imo.

This guy has ZERO **** social awareness. It's like he approximates being human but just can't get the hang of it.

What does he expect? Luka to come over and hug it out? He'll bitch on the Mavs for the rest of his career. And point to Nico every time.

[BigDan245]

Memphis does't guard anybody anymore...Pathetic display.

[zeebneeb]

I understand why Milwaukee brought in Kuzma/Porter Jr, but man, they both do stupid crap, when you need a bucket the most.

I hear you. I just like good basketball. These players switch around so much it’s hard to see the same team compete each year. Feel bad for the Mavericks fans. I bet a lot followed Luka but that’s a bitter pill to swallow

[JustBuzzin]

Luka got on the sleeveless shirt!

This man means business tonight.
