If we see them again in the Finals, I doubt Deron Williams will be on the court much. But I do think he will make their second unit better.

He is injury prone, however this isn't a gaurantee.

Deron is a bum now. He shrinks from real competition.

I remember he did choke in BKN. The caveat here is LBJ makes bums look like rotation players.

Man, I'm hoping Embiid can find a way to be healthy. Such an incredible talent. Would be a shame to see his career fizzle out.

I heard he has the same injury as KD, an MCL sprain of some kind?

Maybe Sixers being overly cautious.

I read that he tore his meniscus...which would put him in Brandon Roy territory.

Can someone explain to me how Bogut could have immigration issues? I thought at first Cleveland is playing in Toronto, but they are at home against Miami. Was he out of the country while waiting to sign with the Cavs?

Read on Twitter

Andrew Bogut suffered a fractured left tibia after playing less than two minutes in his Cleveland Cavaliers debut, the team announced.

Ouch...really....wow. I am super happy this happened to the CAVS...but sucks for Bogut. Almost makes me wonder if he is hiding stress fractures and stuff....Really fortunate for him to have gotten the championship with the Warriors despite being injured a TON.

Whenever I see new players on the Cavs....first thing I think is...can they play defense. EVERY Warrior is a two way player....Cavs haves a few players that can't defend worth chit.

Bogut would probably still get offered a ring if they happened to win like Andy did. Or mabe you guys could sign him for a day before cutting him so he can get a 2nd ring and he won't feel abandoned for the rest of his life.

And the guy that can--Shump--is a liability on O. I'm salivating at a Deron-JR-Korver-LeBallz-Channing lineup. Especially since LBJ will be occupied by Kevmir Putin.

To be honest, JR Smith's defence was stellar last season. He made life absolutely miserable for Klay and Steph when he was guarding them. Hounded and harassed them in epic fashion, and I think it was a huge key in the series for them. Let's see if he can get fit and back to that level.

No matter how hard you push it Andy, Kevmir Putin just isn't going to stick with me :lol:

Hate to say I told you so, but I knew we should have chased hard for Nurkic. Dude just put up a 28/20/8/6 line today.

Solid gold. Nobody can handle it.

I tought we couldn't afford him but the Nuggets ended up adding a first just to get rid of him.

We probably didn't even consider him tho, we have JMM you know.

and1GS · Post #1859 » by **and1GS** » Fri Mar 10, 2017 5:30 pm

I believe he was adamant about getting into a big minute role, too. I think at best he would expect Bogut minutes here - about 20 mpg. I think he'd want a bigger role than that, especially when you factor in that Zaza+JaVale+West only take a combined 11 shots per game. Nurkic is taking 11 a game in Portland.

Spurs lost to the Thunder, extending our lead to 2 games. This will go down to the wire...
