Brandon Miller is the future of the Charlotte Hornets.
He has ice in his veins

Feel the Heat Cavs !!!

Cavs keeping up with Celtics pace. About to record their 4th loss to the Celtics' 5. With two meetings left between the two teams.

Heat Agriculture plowed the Land.

Hopefully Evan Mobley is alright. So Cavs and their fans can't point to injury as the reason we'll surpass them.

Can't imagine my team losing by 9 points or more in their first 25 games. Let alone 3x!

Heat playing physical and pesky with donovan. We on the other hand, played him single coverage even when he’s heating up. We should do the same. Our team is bigger, yet we bail them out by jacking 3’s non stop.

Jalen Suggs is Orlando's Josh Hart. Wanted either/both on the Cs. Alas, too pricey for our needs. Gutsy performance by the Magic without their two stars.

For defense, Cs should look up to Rockets, Magic, OKC. Damn impressive to watch. Warriors still too inconsistent for me and are blah without Dray on that end.

EDIT: As soon as I posted that, Magic turned ball over and gave up a transition 3. UGH.

ConstableGeneva · Post #1611 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Mon Dec 9, 2024 1:52 am

Every team has at least one loss and at least one win at home and on the road. Except the Magic, who are looking to stay undefeated at home.

Donovan having a bad shooting night and Miami hot from the outside determined the outcome of that game.

But didn't we beat the Cavs a couple of weeks ago?

We remember the losses and not the wins?

If we're into what other teams fans are saying, Cs don't need HCA against the Cavs in a 7-game series. :lol:

Warriors defense to end this game (even with Hield on the floor) was on another level. GP2 is so disruptive. He's like a mini-Draymond out there.

Watching Julius Randle reminds me of the Antoine Walker experience with us..

Imagine the meltdowns and angst on this board if Randle played for us lol

Jrue Holiday for Randle?

It's annoying how he makes it look so easy.

Lol. Yeah we beat them by blowing a big lead at home. Then we lost by letting mitchell score 11 straight points and forgot how to defend. With JT laying an egg missing a point blank layup to tie the game. I don’t think the cavs can beat us in a series. I just don’t like donovan having that confidence against us, and sinking clutch shots after another.

Come on, man, it's like you just became an NBA fan yesterday.

Donovan has been doing what he's doing now since his Utah Jazz days.

If believe you the Cavs can't beat us in the playoffs then that should be good enough.

It's just not realistic to expect the Cs to do what you want them to do.

Winning a chip and 60+ games is not good enough because we want this or we want that?

Try being a Sixer fan one day.

Imagine being in position to say no to someone offering you $700 million

There's a high school freshman somewhere out there who's gonna have to decide if a 15 year 1 billion dollar contract is good enough to accept when he's hitting his prime
