Hell, if we had Mo Williams it probably goes at least 7 games. Delly wouldn't have been playing 40 minutes a game, and even though Mo has been terrible in the post season, he could've played enough decent minutes to not have Delly cramp up and dehydrate.

I'm expecting a win tonight. A loss would be tough to handle since this team should be close to full talent output.

...and Cleveburgh doesn't let me down and continues to be a joke in the NGBA* too. King Thugger gets taken down hard in a drive by on his Homie court. Love it.

Howard goes for 36/26 in the loss

Redick scored 40 as he continues to pull closer and closer to the level of Adam Morrison

Just for giggles I looked back at the 2008 draft, SMH at some of the pieces the cavs missed on to draft him.

With the exception of Irving and TT, the Cavs draft choices since Lebron have been "meh" at best. We traded Wiggins so I'm not sure that counts/too early to tell. Gibson had some flashes but really turned out to be meh. Cunningham is too early to tell.

I don't think we have a very talented GM either, at least from a talent evaluation perspective. This team is currently the handshake agreement between Lebron and Gilbert so the GM is relatively worthless at this point anyway.

Cunningham was drafted by the Cavs and traded on draft night then played for 3 other teams. I'd say that's a bust of a 1st round pick made in '12. Gibson was drafted at 42, 10 years ago. Only 11 players from that entire draft are still in the league.

Since 2010, of the 13 selections who are no longer with the team, only Wiggins, Waiters and Allen Crabbe have any sort of role on their team.

Watching Portland Hawks game. First time I can recall seeing Noah Vonleh this season. I can see why a lotto pick was traded so soon, basketball IQ ain't there.

Warriors go out east and lose to the Pistons by damn near 20 points but then beat Cleveland/Chicago both by 30+ points. Things that make you go hmm.

I think there's a strong correlation there. They haven't been shy about gunning for the Bulls' record. The loss to the Pistons put them behind pace and I'm sure they were aware of that.

Or Classy was right and the Pistons are one scorer away from being the best team in NBA history.

I'd be so pissed to be at that Houston game last night. They go into "hack-a-Drummond" mode and make him shoot 36 free throws (which he only makes 13 of them) but Houston still fucking loses by nine. What a dumbass strategy.

Harden went 33/17/14 in the loss? Was his mom keeping the stats?
