Simmons literally owning the defensive side of the floor. Jokic can't post him?

Bogdonavich is an absolute killer off the bench. The Clippers got the right players healthy just in time.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

They need to rehire Booth just to fire him again for this crime against an all-time great.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Why is Pickett out?

I just can't with this team. I need a new favorite team next year.

Jokic not even attacking or being able to attack simmons is a little nasty

All you have to do is trap or double Murray and he becomes a mess everytime. He's not athletic enough to get by it and he's not a good enough passer to pass out of it.

Are the basket mics turned up to the highest volume possible? The Kawhi dunk and general buzzers are super loud.

Simmons was a good player in Philly. He'll never end up anywhere close to the player we thought he could be but the idea he's a good rotational player shouldn't shock anyone.
