The rockets fired their HC like 11 games into this season after going to the WCF (hardly a case study for a well run organization), so yeah I think Dwight is still a relevant player in the league. He's no longer at his MVP type level, but doesn't mean he's trash.

Thank you!

Delusional. He's a good backup but his current salary and ego make him entirely irrelevant to teams that actually care about winning.

Howard is overrated just like I said a few years ago and got ripped for. He has no post moves and 0 touch.

I know similar topics have been brought up before but is anyone else concerned that JR is going to lose it at the most inopportune moment and cost the Cavs? He did it last year and it seems like some opponents know they can get under his skin easily. They need someone to be an enforcer but not one of their top shooters.

There's a reason he was available for peanuts from one of the worst teams in the league.

I was at the game last night and that call was BS! The old saying goes they always get the second guy and they did last night too.

I think it was a good call. It was a double T. The ref saw what Taj did and was running to both of them. JR pushed Taj while the ref was running to them. Easy decision, especially after video review. I think the refs handled it pretty well. They didn't get petty and try to eject them.

Edit: I also don't blame JR for pushing him back. The team already has bad blood, but you can't put up with that bullshit.

My concern is kind of to your second point. JR has developed a reputation, I believe, with players & officials of being "easy to get under his skin." A scrub player could mess with him, get in his head, and cause him to do something stupid and get ejected at a key time. He's too valuable to be missing time for dumb shit.

It's obviously a concern. It was a concern last year too. I just hope it keeps it at the level of only getting T'd up. We don't need another suspension situation.

I will say we gave up essentially nothing for Frye and Frye is better than the shell of Varejao. AV was never going to have a meaningful impact on this team and the 1st rounder we gave up is actually a benefit to not have since it's a guaranteed contract.

I meant when JR got suspended in the playoffs last year. It didn't end up costing them in that series but if they were playing the GSW's in the Finals, it was a close game, and he lost it, it could cost them. Love the guys game but he's a ticking time bomb that I hope doesn't explode at the wrong time. I just think players know they can get under his skin.

I don't think the Bulls would have gone up 2-1 if JR wasn't suspended for the first two games of the series.

Yeah, we should cut him now and learn how to play without him to avoid this happening again.

Ok, Drama Queen.....I didn't say that. I asked a simple question as to whether anyone else was concerned about him flipping out at a key moment. Said nothing about cutting him.
