Hey, this is a judgment-free zone sir. Breakfast at 3pm. I mean, we're all just glad you're eating healthy. We all want you to get the help you need. That heron ain't no joke.

Anyways, anyone got any thoughts on THJr as a Knick. I only saw the boxscore and it didn't look good for him.

Jr. looked like he kept all the Budder Basketball DVDs from Atlanta except had an inverse performance where he was money on catch and shoots but bad when creating.

Only saw the brutal boxscore.

The Nets beat the Cavs. This is one that's probably eating away at Cleveland fans since they get that Brooklyn pick. It also helps us out as it pertains to the tank.

Anyone see that Aaron Gordon had 41/14 against the Nets? Geezuts. Including FTs he shot the ball 28 times and missed 4 (2 fg, 2ft) HIt all 5 3s.

Without D'Angelo Russell!

How does that even happen?

Nets look like an actual NBA team this year.

Had to look to believe it myself.
I thought you may have mistaken it with NBA 2K

Looks like the Cavs and Hawks are tied in the win column with one each! Who would have thunk it!

Next, the hot 76ers meet the Birds!

I think the Cavs are actually 3-4 but they have lost 3 in a row. Hawks, Bulls, Kings, Mavs are the lowest of the low NBA teams with just 1 win.

We will improve. New rotation players and rookies plus a bunch of injuries, we shouldn't be surprised that we have struggled.

Magic have been a pleasant surprise in the early season.

Gordon looks like the superstar ORL fans blindly believed he'd be. Good for him. Good for them.

Shout outs to Shelvin Mack. I never really liked him here, but he's a good kid who seems to have found his niche as a solid, steady veteran backup for that squad.

Still so happy about trading Mack for nothing then spending the last 2 years trying to find a decent backup PG.

With turmoil in Cleveland, is Boston really the best team in the East?

macd-gm · Post #56 » by **macd-gm** » Mon Nov 6, 2017 2:07 pm

I love seeing the Cavs in turmoil but honestly they will turn it around. I hate to say that but it will happen and probably include a mid season infusion of talent. Right now they have some problems. Rose sucks, Thompson is missed. Wade and Korver are doing their thing but the rest aren't getting it done. They miss Kyrie in a big way and it looks like Crowder is tired of being the only one to actually take pride in defense.

I think part of that is that Kyrie's replacement (IT) hasn;t played.

Fightin' words??

Funny how he says that now that he is playing from the bench.
Love it.

Way too early right now. Cavs have five months to figure things out.

The cutest part is DWhine waited 'til both he and James had good games (well, good stat lines) to make it clear he's talking about certain starters.

I'm starting to think Earl bka JR Smith is gon' whup DWhine's arse after practice one day.

Scalabrine said this morning that he's hearing James is openly upset that they haven't traded the BKN pick for help. Step 1 was him saying a few weeks ago that the pick wasn't gonna be all that good (since BKN is playing better). The next shoe will drop soon.

Dwhine's upset he got replaced by JR.
Wade did the same in Chicago - call out the young players and making Rondo of all people the leader of the young players.
LBJ wanted the Cavs to resign JR - he's all yours.
Why should the Cavs trade the pick when they have no indication from him that he'll stick around. CAvs have to start looking at life beyond LBJ.
