We're all spoiled these days...Nowadays on these games I sometimes take the time to just watch certain guys off ball on both ends, see how they're doing, like Boucher, Thomas. OG, RHJ etc.. Kinda like a game within a game.
Watching Kyle make a move to freeze a defender in his tracks just before he makes the pass to a cutting teammate (that he knew would cut) is like watching a high level dance sequence. Poetry in motion.

Not a good game at all. For a team trying to get Nurse into the ASG, the surely didn't show it. Siakam was bad defensively for most of the game. He's becoming very DeMar-esque. It's sad to see. Maybe he learned from Kawhi in that the regular season doesn't matter as much. He had some nice blocks, but blocking a shot does just not make a guy a good defender. He was so lackadaisical when chasing guys off the line. Wasn't rotating fast enough. Losing his man. 2-way players are rare, and he's becoming less of one.
Fred was just terrible. Almost had a triple double but it was a bad game for him. Wasn't able to initiate the offense. Would end up dribbling the ball to much and make some bad contested shot at the rim. He also was getting blown by a lot on defense.
Norm is becoming inconsistent again. But he won this game in the clutch.
Serge and Kyle kept us in this game through out though. And we just ended up beating an inferior opponent. The Cavs just had too many turnovers, and took some bad shots. Their defense was terrible as well. Kyle was just getting into the paint any time he wanted.
I get that it's hard to get up for a bad team, and the Raps will have a few of those coming up, including one tonight. But they had a reason, and that was to get NN into the ASG. So I'm not sure why they looked so flat.

planetmars, look at your last two posts in this thread back-to-back..... I think you are being too hard on the team. They are not perfect but they are taking care of business.
It's really hard to win 9 in a row and the Cavs played (if you read their fans) probably their best game of the season. Every road win is a good win. Just go around the league and look at how many top teams lost to awful teams last night. 76ers lost to Atlanta. Clips lost to the Kings at home. The night before, Rockets and Jazz both lost road games to lesser teams. Give the Raps some love, man!

If you can stay focused and intense, "give it 110%" for each one of these moments, you're a better man than me.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum
