Curry's hit that point where occasionally he still has the magic but most games he doesn't.

What teams are you watching that are fun? Honestly, Cavs look like a lot of fun.

Spurs were a good watch when Sochan was out, since he's come back they are eh. I'll check out Kings games too, mainly because it's fun to watch a team choke pretty much every night.

That's petty AF

I'm in the Pettyweight pound 4 pound rankings for a reason, I can't help what I am.

What I don't understand is why people are saying the only provocation Thompson had was game related. Herro was stepping to him and he got smushed. No threat does not equal no provocation

Basically starting at 1:21-1:42 recounts the event:

Boring answer. The teams that have some spark that sets them apart.

OKC, Denver and Dallas in the West.

Ant is fun to watch individually and I'm pro-Jules, but as a team the TWolves seem "lacking". Ditto PHX.

Knicks, Celtics, Magic and I suppose the Cavs (thou' that still seems like the art of illusion to me .. but stats don't lie, so w/e) in the East.

Knicks are fun because their offense is so varied.

Well, hindsight is 20/20 but it was clear that LeBron was the best player on that Cavs team at age 18, from that first game against the Kings.

The only other players worth a damn from what I remember were Carlos Boozer, Big Z and Ricky Davis. And Davis was such a dumb ass that Cleveland shipped him out after like a month because they didn't want him to be a bad influence on LeBron.

Herro literally started that entire exchange, i don't know what people are on about. He put his shoulder in Amen's stomach before he grabbed him and threw him like a sack of garbage.

He looked that man dead in the eye before he got thrown too. He picked the right one to start sh*t with.

Haliburton 3-13 (1-6), blew a 19-point second-half lead.

For those that watch them closely, why are the CAVs suddenly so good after we TROUNCED them in the playoffs that year. I know why WE'RE so good but what happened to them? Last I looked (long ago) it was said Garland and DM couldn't play together or some such and one of their two bigs (forget who) was always called (here anyway) soft. What gives?

This is why:



This man coached D'Angelo Russell into an all star berth. Developed Spencer Dinwiddie from a g league fringe talent into an NBA rotational piece. Saved Brook Lopez's career by guiding him towards becoming a stretch 5. He developed both Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert as well, two late 1st round picks, into a legit starting center and quality wing respectively. I can go on and on.

The Cavs' roster core is the same as last year. But now they are being coached by one of the best coaches in the league who was given a raw deal by a loser, poverty franchise.

None of this is surprising to me. The Cavs are gonna be a pain in the ass from now til May.

And yes, whenever Thibs decides to walk away, Leon should already be setting his sights on Atkinson. Spare no expense or methods to do it, even if it's underhanded.

They play at a much faster pace this year than last, and they've toned down how much Donovan and Garland have the ball. You'll see Mobley bring it up off defensive rebounds too, they're just better coached and their younger players have gotten better, specifically Mobley is shooting the three well. They also have a bench which can score.

I don't really believe in them, when things get tough in a series they'll fall right back into bad habits which is Donovan and Garland playing your turn my turn basketball. Also, I don't believe for a second that Levert is going to shoot 48% from three for a season and the playoffs after shooting 34% for his career.

Oof...Raptors glad this year is ending the way the Celtics handed them a 54 point beatdown...ouch

Everyone will point to Atkinson and it's true, he's a great coach but the hidden reason why there's a resurgence in their back court is the Cavs stole the Knicks guard amulet...Johnnie Bryant.
