Those ball fakes, head fakes and that first step are already looking pretty good and just imagine them after a few years of experience.

Didn't watch the game but it looks like Bennett had a good game.

It's not propaganda homie. I'm a realist. We're an ECF contender as currently constructed and that's IF things go right for us like it did for the Grizzlies.

Lebron isn't good enough to beat the Spurs or Mavs but he's good enough to beat us on his own in a 7 game series. That's reality. Cavs will get better as the season goes on. Their struggles aren't a surprise. Now, they are no where near what Miami & the Big 3 were but they'll sort it out.

Lebron will most likely have to score 40+ every game for the Cavs to win. In a seven game series its unlikely. He's older and the rest of the Cave suck Irving and Love included.

76ers head coach Brown said "Nobody knew year 2 would be like this"

BULL****

They drafted an injured center expected to miss the entire season TWO YEARS IN A ROW. They didn't even make any reasonable free agent acquisitions. I understand that they want to tank which is fine but to lie so blatantly is upsetting.

You obviously did know how bad it was gonna be. You're either an idiot for thinking the 76ers on paper looked decent or you understand the flawless plan to land the worst record in the NBA. And I don't think Brown is an idiot, he's just a liar.

Can you imagine their practices? Everyone sits around, shooting the **** for a while, they have a little trick shot competition, everyone laughs, then they go home.

Taj Gibson, ankle sprain!
Sucks to hear that as he's pretty legit.
No Derrick Rose, no Pau, no Kirk, and now no Taj?!

I think the Bulls need new trainers or something...

Someone said he got in a game, but the fans didn't even know who he was.

Dislike players being injured but it was so predictable with the Bullocks Noah will soon follow he has been playing hurt all season.
Their medical staff is terrible for one of the major medical centers in the USA. Look back at how Deng was treated.
Taj & Noah played injured the last 1/3 of the year and both haven't recovered.
Yes Thibs doesn't help treats every game including preseason like the last game in the NBA finals. Look for him to be fired as a scape goat since upper management hates him.

Marc Gasol is definitely the favorite to win MVP right now.

I am a Philadelphia fan tonight. I will then cease being a Philadelphia fan until the next time they face the Knicks.

Milwaukee up 8 on Washington early. That's the NBA for you. Lose by 40 the night before and surge out to a lead against a very good team the very next night.

Wiggins had a dominating game today, 29 points.

Thank god for ballstream, I get to watch that and a repeat of the Raptors game from the arrogant Cavs annoucers
