They definitely took their foot off the gas in the 4th and I thought they were gonna blow it, but they still were able to win by double digits.

The 2 blocks were really great plays. The show boating was pretty pathetic, and ORL are really terrible, but Bron was looking like a beast. Should be interesting to see how deep they can go.

Might be a 2 win race between KD and Curry the way they’re playing rn with Giannis playing third wheel.

The East is stronger?

Come on now. I'm not sure what the records are though. It is good to see a more level playing field. There's no real scary teams. Anyone's title.

LeBron looking super spry is very good news for the Lakers esp with ailing AD.

This made me chuckle

That's funny. ^

rustywest · 12-13-2021, 10:54 AM

Oh man, the Bulls are in a tough spot here. The team is absolutely stricken with the Covid's, its a full blown outbreak. Fingers crossed they don't start suspending games...

All this time and you still have insecurities about what people say about LeBron? Let it go man.

Sure you were my man.

I actually thought LeBron doing that was pretty funny.

All his showboating was a bit sad though.

Warriors down 8 at half to the Pacers...

They will win by 20.

jcardstore · 12-13-2021, 08:32 PM

The heat play such great team basketball. All the little things they execute flawlessly. Screens, passing, rotations…

Really great game so far!

jcardstore · 12-13-2021, 08:38 PM

And apparently PJ Tucker is gonna have the best game of his career. Hitting floaters off the dribble???

Not much you can do if he’s gonna do that

Still a double digit win for the Cavs... since Kevin Love decided to go off.

Today the Heat defended the Cavs by packing the paint and doubling Garland. What happened?

Love went for 23 and Okoro for 18.

Cavs now 4th place in the East.

Credit the Heat for a great gameplan. That's a tough team at full health, wouldn't want to see them in the playoffs.

Cavs did what they needed to do to win the game.

Don't look now but 4 straight games of Okoro scoring 15+ and shooting the ball well.

It's always 'a joke'... Except it's not funny and not needed. You really do seem insecure when you do it. Stick to trying to make this the official Cavs talk thread...

(I love Jarrett Allen so I'm not against them, was making an actual joke)

PS - does Orlando NOW quality as the worst team in the league? Daeve didn't seem to think they were at the beginning of the season but they continue to prove over and over how bad they are. And I seriously doubt Fultz is gonna make much difference.

Two Bulls games postponed. First for the year, seems so unusual at this point, feels like we've gone back to regular life and didn't remember this could happen.

jcardstore · 12-13-2021, 09:35 PM

This is the official Cavs thread because this is the Cavs league now. Everyone is on notice.

Onepocketj · 12-13-2021, 09:38 PM

Warriors!

drobfan8 · 12-13-2021, 09:45 PM

Philly, hahaha.

Just wish I didn't bet them today. Alwaya happy to see Doc lose though.

Huge game for Tatum and the Celtics, getting the W and slowing the Bucks’ pursuit of Brooklyn for the top spot in the East.

Tatum would have a burner against the Bucks while being poop shooting-wise most the season. Meh

Dumping all my Rae Sremmurd Prizm color for E Gordon Exquisite RPA's. The blowout fro rat tail experiment was fun while it lasted.

Houston suddenly looking like a well oiled vibrator with that revamped retirement backcourt.

Thanks for the feedback. Very much appreciated!

Haha yeah I know right? He shows flashes of brilliance for sure, but the consistency has eluded him. Games like this show you what he’s capable of.

Ah well, I still think Milwaukee will keep climbing despite this bump in the road.
