Cavs beat Toronto for I believe the 1st time of the season, outscoring them 33-17 in the 4th. Now 18 wins vs. 20 for the Raptors.

Good news is NJ took care of business against the Wizards and notched win 20 themselves.

I blame myself for the win. Even though i dont really mind the losing now, i was starting 2 get pissed watching them get the shit kicked out of them by the Raptors(among every other team theyve played lately). Then they came back and won. Im sorry.

Pretty pathetic Cavs fans want their team to lose.

They were well on their way to a near 20 game losing streak. Glad they got the win. Those guys don't need to end the season on a note like that.

I think they just know in order for us to stop losing, we must land a couple solid contributors through the draft, in which case it would be nice to have the highest picks possible. Obviously there's no catching Charlotte, Washington is doubtful, and New Orleans may be tough to catch with Jack out. Who knows though, our odds were poor last year, and we still got the first pick, so let's keep our fingers crossed!

Lester Hudson went into beast mode in the 4th quarter tonight. That was unexpected.

Quality loss tonight...I haven't followed them much lately, so I have to chuckle at the roster they are trotting out there...

Lester is solid. He lit up China and promised himself he wouldn't be as gun shy if he ever made the NBA again. He deserves another 10 day contract. In fact, I prefer him over Boobie for next year.

The game against Toronto was pretty epic with Sloan, Harris, Gee, Uzoh, Aaron Gray, and Alan Anderson all starting. It was like a D-league all-star game.

Also, I have no idea how Gerald Green managed to play himself out of the NBA. I thought he was going to be an all-star when he came into the league. He honestly must have been the worst defender in NBA history if he couldn't stick around with that athletic ability.

Really need to keep losing. Also the clusterfuck going on with the Lakers could result in a pick closer to 20 instead of 30 if they keep dropping games.

We can only hope that the Lakers miss the playoffs.

I think that pick might be lottery protected so just hope they finish 8th.

Lakers are 5.5 games up on Phoenix who is currently 9th with 9 games remaining...

I think they'll be fine.

Though, after looking at their schedule, they have 3 games against the Spurs with two in SA and they also play Denver and Dallas...

Could be closer than I first imagined.

Unfortunately the Cavs schedule is much easier the rest of the way (tonight obviously included) than NJ, Toronto, or Sac-Town. I think we'll end up passing 2 of the 3 and be sitting with the 6th worst record come lottery time.

RCF has been a fun read during this game.

Lester Hudson needs to be signed. He can score and that's important off the bench. Would make a great back up to Kyrie.

Gilbert has been hilarious.

Also, Toronto's RealGM board has been pretty funny as well. Claiming our tanking was obvious when we were losing to Charlotte, then someone said the tank gods have spoken when we pulled away.

Lester must have been told to get behind the wheel of the tank in OT.

He had an amazing 4th quarter though.

that was some of the worst offense I've ever seen in an nba game in OT there.
