You would think, but Cavs certainly surprised me when they played Orlando last October.

Will LeBron go off for 41 points and hit the 30k milestone tonight or do it on national TV against OKC ?

If only IT could play against the Magic for the next 10 games until he gets his legs and confidence back.

The Magic are so bad. Their *good* players are replacement level.

I'd really like to hold the Magic to less than 50 points at half and less than 100 points in the game.

My least favorite thing about the second unit is watching guys force bad contested shots while Korver goes minutes without touching the ball. Like what is even the point of having Korver out there? He's not an effective decoy when nobody believes you'll pass it to him.

Two shots in 16 minutes. SMH.

I blame Lue for that tbh. There's really no reason that TT/Love can't play in the same front court at least 10 mpg. There's no reason for LBJ to remain on the court after he's stopped rotating on defense. Playing your starters for almost the entire third quarter while they give away a 20 point lead is just mind boggling.

Under the 8 minute mark in the 4th quarter. Korver's been in the game for approximately 6 minutes in the second half and doesn't have a FGA. This is maddening.

Cavs may pull this out but they deserve to lose this game.

I like Vogel acting like he's mad. Everyone knows you're tanking.

frustrations with this team are justifiable, but I take it with a grain of salt considering it's still IT3's pre-season and we are not playing the same sets as when we were winning. I liked what I saw from Payton,wouldn't mind trading for him.
