Was at this game so I'm glad they won. Kyrie abused the proclaimed elite defender Iman Shumpert all night.

Melo checked himself out of the game. He just was not into it and you could tell from his body language.

Was at the game as well, pretty solid crowd.

Maybe the Knicks are trying to avoid the Heat and get out of the 7th seed. They looked awful last night . No reason the players on the court in the 4th quarter should've been able to hold that lead.

Manny was actually aggressive for a change last night, usually I see his stat line and he'll only shoot 4 or 5 times playin like 20+ minutes. Last night he was feelin it though

Where did you get that at? I said the proclaimed elite defender... I was more so talking about how Kyrie took it to him being impressive because Shumpert is a good defender.

Manny had JR Smith checking him for most of the game and he took it to him.

Misunderstood you then. I was taking it as you were saying he took it to the proclaimed elite defender, like he wasnt actually elite because Kyrie got the better of him. My fault

Yeah, I see what you mean... Probably could have worded that better. I had a "few beers" in Cleveland that night lol.

Detroit, Sacramento, and Golden State all win.

Cavs lose.

Hornets winning in 4th against Clips.

Would've been a perfect day for our draft prospects if the Lakers would've lost.

Watching this? Had the kept the Flagrant 2, it would have been the worst call in NBA history,thankfully the refs changed it to just a personal on Vasquez. These LAC announcers are terrible.

these final three are pretty much must lose games. can't afford another win with how close these teams are

I can't see them losing to Washington, unfortunately.

I think 22-44 is good for the 5th worst, though.

He wanted a guaranteed contract for next year and the Cavs wouldn't do it.

Didn't realize that. I thought he just wanted the rest of this year. He's got some talent.
