Mavs no Kyrie and no Luka. Cakewalk for the Cavs

Yep, but won't even point that out after they walloped a healthy Nuggets in their own home court hehe. They're really good.

I can't see us catching the Cavs in the standings unless they get a rotten luck of injuries. We have to make separation between us and The Knicks.

Regular contract is a lock before season ends.

That's been the trend. We've done that the 3 Seasons.

He ran the Offense in Maine for a long stint, when the 2 PG's were OUT.


Walsh has grown on me but Peterson is an NBA player right now with some upside to go. I’m sure the coaches know it but they also know they don’t need to depend on him.

Looks like we'll just have to end OKC's streak ourselves.

Two more games against the Cavs. If the C’s want the first spot they can get it. That would be a gut punch to the Cavs. I wouldn’t make it a priority though.

Jrue with another good game
Kornet was a menace on the offensive rebounds

Peterson and Tillman need to play more. If Hauser is injured, play Peterson instead

X hasn’t looked that good this season, i know it’s hard when you rarely play though. Peterson, looks like an NBA player. I was worried that he wasn’t just about a month or so ago.



X played good the last 3-4 games he played in garbage time. His defense is good, especially on the perimeter. He also sets good screens

We steamrolled them. A true statement win. I noticed that I haven’t missed Al at all. The less he plays the better.
