Hopefully, Kyrie got the jitters out and he shoots better against the mighty Pistons. Cavs schedule is the toughest in the league up until tonight...they lost to an undefeated team and that is it.

go cavs.

It's REALLY, REALLY early but the Bobcats are giving the Heat everything and then some. Pretty much getting whatever they want.

Been watching as well (love NBA Free Pass). Bobcats I thought have a pretty horrible roster, nice to see them play a bit.

Yeah, I really don't expect this game to stay like this. But then again, who knows.

Irving must not have any confidence in his 3 ball, they're giving him tons of space at the top of the arc.

Kemba Walker doesn't even look to pass, all he's trying to do is get his, good for him I guess.

Hard to believe, but Boris Diaw has been the best player on the floor in the 1st half.

First time seeing Tristan Thompson in action, already impressing me. Hopefully I continue to eat crow.

LMAO just watched LBJ pull the same shit he did in Cleveland. Hold the ball at the top of the key only to shoot an off the back foot garbage at the end of the shot clock. Some people never learn.

And DJ Augustine banks in a 3 at the buzzer to put the Bobcats up 15 at half.

this has probably been discussed, but did you guys see Kendrick Perkins? I can't see him being effective at that weight....reminds me of what happened to LenDale White when he dropped all that weight.

yeah, it looks like more than 30. His big ass was a big part of his game.

Not sure how its going to work out, as he's always been pretty physical. Wonder if he'll still be able to box out, etc.. if he can't push ppl around with his body.

Yeah, he may get up and down the court a little better, but he lost his bulk and that was his need.

Plus he looks sick.
