They're really impressive on that end. Seems as though teams don't know how to deal with the blitzing.

I get it, it's a 3 point shot driven league now...

But..

Reaves + Russell= 1/12 from 3...and Lakers are down 9

Stop...being...stupid...stupid

cdub6238 · 11-06-2024, 09:57 PM

Speaking of idiots just chucking 3s...

Ayo Dosunmu...13 minutes...0/9...8 3s attempted..

33, 7 and 3 for Risacher tonight, he might be good..

he's very good, and he's getting better. Big win tonight for the Hawks.

Dyson and JJ compliment him very well. Trae didn't even have a big offensive night and that means this can be sustainable as long as Rizzler keeps developing.

ninjacookies · 11-06-2024, 10:06 PM

What in the actual-

The over ended up covering after a 91 point first half.

Mashallah affffffffffffffffffff.

GS is really good. I thought they were a product of their weak schedule, but it's clear their brand of defense is legit. I don't know how to project them in the postseason, but I don't think anyone wants to see them.

Dyson has been a godsend, he had Brunson in hell

Agreed. Swarming defense

Rebounding is their big weakness. They can’t afford to have an off night from 3 because they’re going to give up a lot of rebounds.

Turning Klay into Hield & Anderson has to go down as the best transaction of the offseason.

Strongly agree. Hield is easily a much better player at this stage in their respective careers. It's not really close.
And sloth is forever a second unit anchoring defensive pest.

Double dipping on the stripclub patron night cap. Because degen.

Another easy Cavs win in the Big Easy.

9-0.

Almost good enough for the West play-in

PKIPP · 11-06-2024, 10:25 PM

9-0 for the Cavs.

Keep on rollin baby!!!

Franchise record start. Atkinson set the record for most consecutive wins to start with a new team. Man this is fun!!!

Too bad the Cavs/Warriors game on Friday isn't on TV....that's gonna be epic, especially after the Warriors knocked off the Celtics in Boston tonight.

I'll need to see them at 20-0 to put them in the West play-in. At 10th.

Buy that League pass.... Can't wait to see it!

League pass has been worth it for me the past 3 years solely based off Cavs games alone. Them late night west coast games are the icing on the cake though. Currently watching Miami and Phoenix. Then gonna probably tune into kings and Raptors depending on how the 76ers and clippers game is going.

Chet climbing all over Joker's back like a jungle gym, smacking his arm, pulling on his jersey, no calls and Joker making them anyway.

19-6 run. No Murray, no Gordon. Gawd-mode Jonker is back.

He's got that wiry strength and is too long and active for most opposing guards to feel comfortable in the slightest. Giving someone trouble every game.

ninjacookies · 11-06-2024, 10:53 PM

Clips might have the worst second unit in the league. Harden's arguably as valuable as Yoker because they are lost with him on the bench.

daeve · 11-06-2024, 10:56 PM

22-15-13-2-2 thru 3rd Q on the likely DPOY.

Is that good? Getting hacked hard as well, only 4 FTA.

Chris P · 11-06-2024, 11:33 PM

Seems like Russ had a solid game against OKC.

daeve · 11-06-2024, 11:36 PM

he did, everyone stepped up. Braun, Straw, and Watson all came up big in different moments. This feels like a momentum-shifter for them. Hopefully Murray keeps up with them when he's back.

ninjacookies · 11-07-2024, 12:50 AM

Brutal variance early into the season. These hot and cold stretches are insane. I think Philly went a whole 4 straight minutes towards the end of the 3rd without a bucket.
