That's what happens when you blow a 22 pt lead. SMH

Totally doesn't matter lol.

But it was neither. Until he touched the ball again, it wasn't a violation. He was out of bounds, but had "saved" the ball. He reestablushed in the court, but you can't be the first to touch the ball if you were the last to touch it before stepping out. So until he grabbed to shoot, the ball was in play and someone else could've grabbed it.

Moot point now, but would Dunleavy refusing to show up with Hawks have any hindrance on when Korver could play? If he never showed up, would the trade have been voided?

No he has I believe 72 hours and then the hawks have the option of just waiving his physical which they more than likely would have.

He reported, passed his physical and everything is good to go on both sides. Korver is playing tonight, not sure yet about Dunleavy.

Jazz are a tough team, and fun to watch. I think they could be a 2nd round team in the playoffs, coming a season later than I thought it would.

This game has a "rest the big 3 the whole 4th quarter" feel to it

They always go thru these stretches. It's normally during a long road trip like this one.

They got into Portland at like 6 AM too. I'm sure that didn't help.

I just don't want to get dumpstered at GSW. Right now, I believe that is inevitable.

Who cares man. It's January. Remember this time last year they looked like shit for a bit and fired their head coach. That worked out in the end, right?

Tomorrow's game should be good. Cousins has been goofy as shit lately.

They had to use too much energy to beat the Suns and the loss to Utah I thought was just about definite....then right back at Portland. Not surprised.

Looking ahead I hope Love and Irving being all-stars doesn't lead to too many 5-18 fg games.

This was my strategy for this road trip.

You and I disagree about almost everything, and it continues on this one. Cavs are at their best when they're moving the ball around quickly on offense. Melo has never been that type of player. He's best when he's iso. Maybe they get him and he adapts, but I'd assume the price would be pretty steep for a guy who I don't think would fit their model of play.

I wouldn't want Melo if we had to trade our washing machine for him.
