both Bynum and Varejao break down at some time post All Star break, Gana starts to get PT, Cavs make the playoffs as 7th or 8th seed, has his last hurrah in the first game of first round with 2 points, 5 rebounds and 6 blocks, energizes the Cavs and they upset Pacers/Heat on road. book it.

Eternal tankers. Despite Diop of course.

full circle for diop - the team that foolishly drafted him in the lottery, gives him one last chance to make a team.

for the diop fanboys

"I'm 31 in age, but I'm probably like 26 because I haven't played since I left Dallas," Diop said. "I feel fresh. I'm healthy. This is the best I've been in a long time."

bonnell just went deep on diop. great stuff rick. i wish he would tell the truth more often. shame he had to wait until diop was off the team before he would write this.

that was a good article and I agree Bonnell should call out players like this more often. As long as have the facts and know you're right, just do it.

what it also indicates is that Diop could come back better than ever and still dominate!!

Diop said he's lost about 15 pounds in preparation for this season, and knows he still has to earn his way on the team. It's a whole new experience, being away from family and trying to make an NBA team.

He will dominate.

Bonnell should call out players like this when they're still in Charlotte rather than waiting until they leave to bash them.

Such an easy target too. Was very little risk of controversy.

I've already congratulated the Cleveland board on convincing the king to return to ohio

time to slowly integrate myself into the Cavs board.

good luck, guys, you probably won't see me around here that much any more.

Simmons and Jalen have started a countdown NBA preview series. Videos of Philly (#30) and Phoenix (#29) have come out. I'm guessing we'll be ranked 26th.

considering its simmons, i guess we are 28th and it will be same usual negative cliches he has been spouting about our franchise for the past 2 years.

LamarMatic7 · Post #1416 » by **LamarMatic7** » Tue Oct 1, 2013 7:41 pm

I think he'll like the moves we've made and will be a lot more positive than you guys expect him to be. If anything, he might overrate us.

LamarMatic7 · Post #1417 » by **LamarMatic7** » Tue Oct 1, 2013 7:49 pm

both of them will definitely spend too much time making superficial points about MJ being a bad owner, us breaking the loss-win percentage record and poor draft choices that happened years ago.

I wish it was a duo of Zach Lowe and Simmons on these videos. When it's Bill with Jalen they talk as generic as on ESPN halftime shows. Lowe politely disagrees when Simmons goes over board with his analysis that is based on body language or just a hunch.

It's the presentation that will make me watch these.

Simmons actually really liked our Zeller pick if I remember correctly. He will still make fun of us though.

simmons will make fun of MJ, laugh at us for signing jefferson, underrate kemba and trash MKG for not being able to shoot.

he might give some praise for zeller and the hire of clifford.

LamarMatic7 · Post #1420 » by **LamarMatic7** » Tue Oct 1, 2013 10:27 pm

I think he'll agree with the Jefferson signing.
