Probably Toronto. There just a large sample of Kyrie not carrying a team when Lebron isn’t playing. He would need the Westbrook mentality to lead his team to a top 4 seed, and I’m not sure he has it yet.friendfromlowry;1877965 wrote:Now that I think about it, you might be right. Cavs, Wizards, and Bucks could definitely finish ahead of them. I'm not sure who that 4th team would be, though.

This is going to sound like a jerk thing to say but if we're rooting for the Nets to suck, we're in luck because Lin is out for the season already.

There is no “if.” Everybody should be rooting for the nets to lose every game.friendfromlowry;1877979 wrote:This is going to sound like a jerk thing to say but if we're rooting for the Nets to suck, we're in luck because Lin is out for the season already.

That being called as a common foul is a joke.

Don’t worry, Jose Calderon is going to start in his place.

Dumb to start Calderon. Move Wade to PG and start JR.

COA, you were right. Wades a shell of his former self on D. He's too damn slow to guard younger guards. He's going to be a liability. It's a shame bc he was always a good defender.

Wade coming off the bench now. He approached Lue about it. Nice to see.

I agree. It still doesn't address the issue of having a viable point guard. All we have is a big if of Thomas coming back healthy.Ironman92;1878388 wrote:That’s good of him. Refreshing actually.

Griffin talking about Anthony Bennet,
“The issue with Anthony was, and we had no way of knowing it at the time, the kid had no desire to overcome adversity whatsoever. As soon as it was hard, he was out,” Griffin said. “His whole life, he rolled out of bed bigger, better and more talented than everyone else. As soon as it was hard, it was over. And I was the one on campus at UNLV. I’m the one who got sold the bill of goods and I bought it hook, line and sinker. You fuck up sometimes. But I feel bad Chris took it for that, because Chris was the one guy who wasn’t sure."

But also I hate how he said “we had no way of knowing”
Isn’t that your job as GM to find that shit out? I mean there was NO WAY to find out that Bennett was a lazy POS who quit when the going got tough? Sounds more like griffin didn’t do enough research on his character.

Agreed, fuck Bennet, lazy sack of shit. As for Griff, he wasn't GM then (Grant was) and sounds like everyone was sold a bill of goods.
This is him summed up:

Cavs fucked around tonight and still got the W. I can see Lue/LBJ hasn't learned to put bad teams away so they can sit in the 4th. Watching Kay Felder out there reinforced how we can't play IT in the playoffs. He's a goddamn liability. Rose/Shump/Wade/LBJ will be playing PG for us in the playoffs unless we make a trade is my bet.

If Lebron plays PG for most of the year, he'll be right there in the MVP discussion with the numbers he'll put up. I know he's usually always in that discussion but it will be even more so this year.
