10/22 from 2 is problematic when we're already struggling from 3. Felt like we were scoring in a crowd every time. Scal is right, need more pace and space. Less iso for iso's sake.

don't say anything negative about Joe.. he won a title.. he can't possibly be wrong about anything..

Either that or after 3 years they are still trying to figure it out..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Unless Stevens has a target that can only be taken in the 1st, I think moving that pick for an another 2nd a future 1st is a good plan.


Ivisic? Hopefully he stays in the 2nd. Would be a nice pick.



I hear there's a Unicorn in Arkansas, that's worth a trade up...

They do it most games. Especially stagnant today. White loss underrated in that regard.

When KP shoots that 3, it looks like he's just dropping the ball into the bucket.

Nice pace. Even 2 starters down, I still don't think we've played as good as we could tonight. There's just no rattle in this group.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

No wonder fans of other teams want the NBA to put a cap on 3 pointers :D

Having KP on this team doesn't feel real sometimes

Porzingis is mind-bleeping the Cavs Bigs: Mobley and Allen with only 8 points.

What a regular season slap in the face for the Cavs if the C’s win tonight. Love it.
