  1. Doing his best to get traded.
  2. Lulz...in a game the Cavs won, we get 8 Thunder highlights in this montage. Zero Cavs highlights. Yeah, ESPN & the NBA are not going to let the Cavs get to June.
  3. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/43338041/takeaways-cavaliers-thunder-game-year-nba Was this a Finals preview? Bontemps: It might be -- which is something I likely wouldn't have said 24 hours ago. Cleveland showed a ton in this game. Mobley showed he's an All-Star lock. The Cavaliers took every punch from the Thunder and threw a stronger one back. The result was a 32nd win in 36 games. I wrote about the comparisons between this team and the 2014-15 Golden State Warriors ahead of Wednesday. Those Warriors came out of nowhere, were doubted throughout that season and eventually won a title. I won't say Cleveland will do that right now, but I will say the Cavaliers are good enough to make it to June. Pelton: I'd still bet against it at even odds. Projections using ESPN's Basketball Power Index give these teams the two best chances of making the Finals and yet still show this specific matchup happening just 35% of the time. I'd pick the Boston Celtics over the Cavaliers to win the East. Although the Thunder are the clear favorite in the West, there's plenty that can happen to change that between now and late May. Windhorst: I'm not saying a bad word about either of these teams out of respect after watching that display. I'm also not predicting the Finals in January. But I will give them this: There has been more than one championship team I've seen over the past two decades that wouldn't beat these two.
  4. If I'm OKC, I'd be awfully tempted to offer up whatever is needed to Brooklyn so that Cam Johnson is getting those minutes that are currently going to Kenrich WIlliams & Wiggins & Isiah Joe.
  5. Crazy what competent coaching can do. Still worried about Niang as the backup big - need an upgrade there and I wish the Cavs still had iHart.
  6. True, though I'm not sure that Caruso would have gone a better job than Dort on Mitchell. And iHart doesn't have the range that Chet has so that made things a little easier. But having said that, IHart himself had a very good game and seemingly didn't miss any floater. All in all, just a very good game between two elite teams.
  7. If Kenny Atkinson was Thibs, the core four would have each played 45 minutes tonight.
  8. Mobley & Allen made up for the stinker from Mitchell. I'm undoubtedly biased but I think the Cavs core four should be All Stars.
  9. That was a Finals game in January. Will do it again next Thursday.
  10. These refs doing their best to keep OKC in the game.
  11. Some insane images and videos out there.
  12. Losers of 5 in a row now gonna be without both Kyrie & Luka. A Luka/Kyrie-less Mavs team has got to be among the worst in the league.
  13. At MSG while Orlando was on the 2nd night of a back to back.
  14. Coach of the Year JBB doin' work.
  15. Wednesday on ESPN should be fucking nice.
