How often does a team get doubled up when the opponent has 100+? It was 102-49 at one point yesterday between LAC and BKN...

I expected the old Cavs/Thunder thread would be revived by now

This Wizards team is awful. Did they really have to sit 4 guys last night to lose?
NBA is embarrassing. People actually paid money to see that game.

Two things going into OKC Cleveland:

1. Even with IHart, I haven't seen as much momentum for this game so I just don't think it'll do the same numbers or better as last game. It is Thursday on TNT so I am down to eat my words.

2. I would not count out OKC with no IHart. Yes, they lack size, but they've been almost the same team net-rating wise with no IHart. OKC's hands could really shut down some of our big man play if they get at all uncomfortable with the ball. I still think Cavs should win, but just not counting OKC out bc I've seen them win games with no height advantage whatsoever

Right on que, Cavs get an Allen poster dunk on Dort and another paint finish on their small players lol. WORST team to be without your two 7 footers against.

How the hell did Mobley miss that?? Should be 3/3 on easy paint finishes by Cleveland bigs.

Suns off to a quick start. Then again, this is WAS; however, nothing can be taken for granted with this team as a third quarter stinker is always on the menu.

Cavs already 3 offensive boards.. that one leading to Mitchell 3. Allen another dunk. Literally if they just are able to rebound the fking ball they win easily.

Not gonna learn much from this game because of no bigs for OKC, but still expect OKC to be in it and have a chance to win it late.
