Tipoff is in 2 hours. I expect to see you all here!



You've done well. Most active game thread in ever. Couldnt watch live coz weekday for me and game is usually on 10 am on wards.





Any who fun game to watch. Seems like we have had a few games like that against the jazz where they just wont go away at the end. Any time we threatened to get double digits theyd force a turnover and go on a small run.

Lebron finished the game great. That intensity on both ends int the 4th. Goat mode.

TT is playing so well. Like others i thought he might struggle a lot against ehir size but he was good.

Teams rolling right now. Cant wait until we play one of the big 3 out west.

Haha, great way to call all fans! Sorry I missed it.

As some of you might know, I'm from the Toronto area and would love to get seats for when the Raptors are in town. Anyone on here have season seats and a disdain for anything Canadian? I'm open to offers. Cavs and Raps are my two teams.

Good game by you guys. I thought the Jazz had it. Then I remembered how good LeBron is.

What do you guys expect us to go along that stretch? I want to say 9-0 and 8-1, but I'm going to be conservative and guess 7-2 with losses to Detroit and Atlanta.

Ha since my Raptors suck im rooting for Lebron to win a ring :lol: :lol: ...but Honestly the only team you guys MAY lose to is Atlanta, and thats a maybe lol...Detroit, I dont think they have a chance...Thompson, Love, and Mozzy are too much, doubt they will let Drummond bully them..

Drummond is too big for Love and Thompson. And Mozgov normally should be able to check Drummond, but he's been pretty bad defensively so far, so I'm not sure. I think he'll be a problem.

Hopefully Kyrie comes back soon. We've literally heard nothing about him recently besides pure speculation.

they really dont need kyrie to come back anytime soon..id rather keep him out for now since they are doing perfectly fine without him..but he did say something in the last update that "im not gonna put my timetable out there"...saying it more as if it will be a surprise, so yeah...i just dont get how they are releasing an uncle drew though? Was that filmed before or after his injury

Just curious. Which teams do you consider the Big 3? I honestly see it as more of a Big 5 with Golden State, OKC, San Antonio, Houston, and LA. Though I can see how one might exclude the latter two.

You've got a force on your team in Gobert. If Exum can reach his potential, Utah has a scary team from positions 1-5.

I'm honestly not sure. It's been two years since the last one was released, so it could have easily been filmed before, but I have no idea why they would wait so long to release it.

But I doubt that Kyrie returns in the next couple weeks. He hasn't even started fully practicing with the team. If I had to guess, I'd say he comes back some time in mid-December.

I was referring to okc, warriors and Spurs but you are right it is a big 5. Crazy all those teams are significantly better than the second best east team.

I'm not worried about them. Detroit has one of the worst benches in the league. Drummond won't have a crazy amount of rebounds. Love and TT can grab rebounds away from just about anyone.

And we just swept Atlanta in the playoffs. Now they don't have Carroll. I'm not worried about them. Just unleash Delly dirty money.

True, but with the way we've been playing (lack of effort throughout 50% of the game), I feel like we're bound to drop one to a worse team at some point. Unfortunately this win streak can't last forever.

By the way, is there anyone who wants to take over and make the game thread for tomorrow's game against the Knicks? I don't mind doing it. I just wanted to make sure no one else in particular wanted to get the chance to make one before I go ahead and do it.

You might as well make one...your helping make this board come to life and it's been working.
