In reality, these are all glorified scrimmages until the playoffs.BR1986FB;1761091 wrote:I used to get frustrated at this last season. Now, with the new additions (Jefferson/Mo) and the fact they will have two key players returning, am I the only one that gets the feeling that this team is like a cat toying with a mouse when they play these type of teams? They can turn it on and squash them at any time. They won't be able to do this against better teams and they won't be "up" for every game against the bottom feeders.

They looked like women's uniforms with the sleeves. I can't remember seeing an NBA team wear jerseys with sleeves.like_that;1761077 wrote:Yeah, that's the last time we will see those jerseys.

Exactly. All they have to do is get in (shouldn't be an issue) and then the "real" season begins. Too bad we can't fast forward because, to me, the regular season NBA is pretty boring.Al Bundy;1761096 wrote:In reality, these are all glorified scrimmages until the playoffs.

Didn't the Nets wear sleeves on Christmas a few years ago when they had assembled their alleged "super team?"Al Bundy;1761099 wrote:They looked like women's uniforms with the sleeves. I can't remember seeing an NBA team wear jerseys with sleeves.

Teams have been wearing sleeves for 3/4 years now. Usually only a handful of teams though. I'll be surprised if Cleveland wears these again.BR1986FB;1761101 wrote:Didn't the Nets wear sleeves on Christmas a few years ago when they had assembled their alleged "super team?"
And if if we're forced by the league, I assume LBJ/Love will just cut them in the locker room and take the fine.

Cavs go to 6-1 with an afternoon "W" over the Pacers. Lebron with 29 and it sounds like he dinged up his quad. Love with a monster double double (22 pts/19 rebs).

He took a knee to the quad a couple days ago. Wasn't sure if he was going to play today. Didn't look like it slowed him down today. Very nice to see Love's performance. Looking forward to see this team with Kyrie and Shump back. Can't have richard jefferson starting all year, thats for sure.BR1986FB;1762018 wrote:Cavs go to 6-1 with an afternoon "W" over the Pacers.

Wasn't aware that he took the knee to the quad previously. Been a bit "out of pocket" as far as the Cleveland sports scene with the odd day (Thursday) for the Browns game. Haven't been paying close attention.
I love the fact that Love is playing a much bigger part with KI out. Hopefully this all meshes when he returns.
TT had a very solid game today too.

I'm surprised the Cavs were able to win this one, with Andy getting a DNP-CD

@mcten: Paul George on the Cavs: "I think we match up well against this team. This team doesn't really scare us."
He's sorta right I guess. They do match up well against THIS Cleveland team. The one missing their top 3 guards. PG has never beaten LeBron when it matters and it's certainly not happening with the team they have this year.

Their fans are even better. I posted a meme on one of my buddies (Cavs fan) FB wall of some smartass comment about Derek Rose's "fragile" nature and I stating that Rose was "overrated" and "pulled a hammy coming out of the womb" and boy did that guys Bulls fan buddies go ballistic. In some cases, I love to be trollin'like_that;1762151 wrote:Sorta reminds me of the Bulls last year when they were always talking shit even after they lost to the cavs.

Supposedly LeBron purchased a vacation mansion in LA.

LeBron is going to LA in free agency.
