Only 4.5 games in...but Shump's shot and finishing looks like night and day from last year. Muuuuch better

Kelly Olynyk not playing tonight for Boston as he is recovering from shoulder surgery. Oh the irony.

They lost. Cleveland is the best team this year. It's not even close.

I hope Shump has a good start to the season so we can trade him for a bag of basketballs. I have no confidence in him ever being relevant to this team.

You referring to that outlet pass that ended up being a turnover after he had the steal? In the final minute. Close game. Embiid had a block on Lebron that was reminiscent of his game-7 block on Iguodala.

No, his 3/17 FG shooting

Nice win last night against the Wizards (what the hell happened to the Wizards?).

Will this be the first time in Lebron's career he doesn't lead his team in scoring?

Wall and Beal hate each other. Wall's gone insane.

If it weren't for the last couple years and playoff runs, I'd be a little concerned with lack of D so far. But I'm confident once in the playoffs, they'll turn it on. But man, this team has a lot of offensive weapons. Love looks like a completely different player than year 1 & 2..much more comfortable it looks like. Every time I look up, I feel like he's at the free throw line. Attacking much more this year. Hard team to beat when KI and Lebron are averaging mid 20's and Love is 20/10. Mix in Frye and Shump playing well...let alone JR not even getting going yet. Scary

D looks the worst its ever been across the NBA; its not just the Cavs.

They will repeat. There's no need to worry about any team in the East and the Warriors are more beatable this year than they were last year.

I really like the offense Frye is giving. Very efficient.

Lebron is going to sit tonight against Indiana.

Cavs will still win no question.

Thoughts on LeBron going in on Phil Jackson?


I don't think it's necessarily the racial issue that's being discussed, but I don't mind it. Phil Jackson has always been a condescending prick.

I mean 99% of people are going to back LBJ over Phil.

Is posse meant to be an insult? It would be water off my back if someone said that about my group of friends. I don't see a big deal.

Feels like a night the cavs get blasted. No lebron, on back to back and Indiana will be up for this game.

IMO, Phil comes off incredibly out of touch with basketball right about now. The Knicks have been miserable and still are, so he's making irrelevant comments about another player.

Love, Irving and Felder were good but geesh everyone else sucked offensively. Could've used Frye's normal shooting tonight.
