Realistically the Cavs only have about 7 guys who should be in an NBA rotation, so garbage or not I'll take a W whenever we can get one. Gee is not one of those players though.

Brandon Knight looked pretty good for Detroit. Kanter is off to a slow start for Utah. 2/12 shooting in 2 games now.

Also, is Jan Vesely supposed to get minutes for Washington when he's healthy? I was kind of looking forward to seeing him run with Wall this year.

I meant in terms of shot selection. The way I wrote I guess was a bit confusing.

Refs admit D Wade got away with a travel on his game winner last night. Cool. Maybe next you will actually call it. My blind, dead aunt saw that he walked.

Every year I find myself getting annoyed at how a play is a foul in the 1st quarter, but not a foul in the last 2 min of a game in the 4th.

Knicks played terrible against the Warriors even without Stephen Curry. This Knicks team should never only score 78 pts especially against the Warriors. I expect the Knicks to play better against the Lakers tonight.

That wasn't a travel, he kept his left pivot foot down, watch it again.

Lolz. Don't act like you know the rules of basketball if you don't know that you can't take ANY step after a jump stop. It's either straight up and shoot or get rid of it.

You cant be taking steps after jumpstop. That is a travel from 4th grade through the NBA...er, I guess only through NCAA lol.

Yeah, 3 steps Dwayne

Half of the Bobcats bench was across the court and called it right as the 3rd step went down, before the ball went in.

The left foot doesn't move which is the pivot foot, the right steps through, not a travel.

When I first watched it I thought he just picked up the dribble, didn't pay attention to the little jump stop.

First thing I thought of was the Crabb "Dribble" argument.

Hopefully he plays basketball and not with his phone.
