Varejao carted off, SMH. He's done. Can't put pressure on left leg. Nice season while it lasted.

There is a reason he ran the CBA in to the ground, made the knicks a dumpster fire, and pretty much no one in the league will touch him lol.Commander of Awesome;1689102 wrote:Isaiah Thomas just said gasol was a bigger FA signing than LBJ. LOL

I bet soon, this yr/next yr. They have a great young nucleus with defined roles. They lost tonight, but it was a close game for much of it. Dieng, Wiggins, Muhammad, Levine, Pekovic, Rubio is a pretty damn good core IMO with a ton of upside. If I were a twolves fan I'd expect them to continue to improve and be a team no one wants to play come end of season and challenge for a top 6 seed next season long as coaching and young players continue to progress.gerb131;1689107 wrote:Twolves going to have something in the next cpl years.

I will be pretty surprised if they make the playoffs next year. Also, that game was not that close. Cavs were in control the whole game. Even when the score was close, it never felt like they were in danger. They ended up winning by 20 with their B team on the court for the last 5 minutes lol.Commander of Awesome;1689149 wrote:I bet soon, this yr/next yr.

Not predicting the Wolves to make the playoffs, saying they have enough talent to do so. Hell look at the Cavs last season. That was more than enough talent to make the playoffs in the fucking east. Total joke they didn't, and Mike Brown should never be hired again as a HC because they didn't make the playoffs. Hawes, and Deng to go with Irving? lolfail on Brown.
Now on to your point about "never that close". I don't know how to measure that, Cavs would go up by 10, then next time I'd know it was within 2 pts deep into the 3rd quarter. Felt close to me. Esp when Love/Andy went down. Cavs pulled away, which they SHOULD but I dont know how to measure your personal experience watching the game. Who was going to win was in doubt to me starting the 4th.

Reading that Andy most likely has torn achilles. Oy, who the hell will play center?

Typical varejao. Love his game for this team but he historically can't stay healthy so not sure why we put all of our eggs in that basket with no backup plan at the 5.

Maybe they should wait till the trade deadline before they make a panic trade. See how the team handles not having Andy on their team. The Haywood contract would really pay off in the summer...

This team is Charmin soft and is about to give Kevin Love $100+ million in the off-season.
They are a hot mess. Dion plays well every 3rd or 4th game when he's not busy being a malcontent. Love is a bitch. Kyrie still doesn't his head from the hole in his ass on defense, and Andy had his perennial season ending injury not long after Griffin wasted $30 million over the next 3 years on him in a needless extension.
Lebron is days away from turning 30 on a body that has more miles than Al Bundy's used Dodge.
It is hard to see much to be optimistic about with the Cavs right now, particularly after they wildly over pay TT this off-season to appease Lebron.
The worst part? Every team in the league now knows how desperate we are an any hopes of trade rapes are a thing of the past.
In other words we are on the verge of another OIC moment.

I agree we need to add another piece in the pant. We still have Lebron James so we'll be alright.
Yes, that Lebron James.

Maybe We should look into signing Manziel, that should make everything all better

Lebron is going to be gassed by the end of the year.
He needed to play 37 minutes to be a putrid Orlando team.
Remember how in the beginning of the year we thought his minutes would be down because of the amount of blowout wins?
It doesn't help that Love is allergic to second half production. He might be one of the biggest frauds in NBA history that is only now being finally exposed that he is playing on a team that is supposed to win something.
