Cavs lost to the Bulls and Raptors won. Good night.

We're in 6th.

Next up is the Bulls. We end up 5th. They are pretenders.

[The Great One]

Not really sure if the Bucks are tanking or not like how do you lose by that much to the Morant-less Grizzlies?

they've gone 8-2 in the last 10 and just beat a kd/irving nets team without ja as well.

Watching the replay cause I missed the game. They have been showing these delay segments for at least 20 minutes. Matt and Jack are just insufferable. Please end this fucking madness and put the game on. It’s a replay! Just absurd.

The big secret is that the griz are just as good without ja as they are with him. Ja deserves no mvp support imo.

Curious if they are the Knicks/Hawks of last season. Surprise everyone for a year and then return to Earth next year.

That was an enjoyable pounding. The Pacers are awful. But the Raptors were also on fire. 6 guys scored in double figures. Bench alone scored over 60. I still remember those games where our bench would collectively score like 3 points.

We were up by like 28 before the delay.. and we struggled a bit when we came back.. but then just took them out when Chris and Precious checked back in. Pascal and Scottie were great. Brooks was was solid.. he had 6 assists. Thad has 11 points, with 2 steals and a block. Solid game for him too.

Nothing to really complain about in that game. Even Khem's -1 wasn't so alarming since he was on the court after having to come back after the long delay. Fred got to sit the second half. Pascal and Scottie only got 31 minutes each. Chris continues to be our Net Rating god as he had a team high +35.

Hope we keep that momentum against Boston. That'll be a tough game. Hopefully we have Gary back for it.

Missed watching the game, but just based on the box score, how on earth Birch is minus 1 while everyone else have pluses after their names. Yet some genius a couple games back claimed that posters on the game thread are shitting on his game when he is far from being the worse player on the floor. There is a reason that Nurse is not putting him out there 9 out 10 to close out games.

Meanwhile….Another kind of genius is no longer hating on Boucher after realizing that he is the most reliable and most consistent bench player all season. With Trent Jr. back healthy and thank god OG is up and running, Precious and Boucher max energy duo will power that Nick Nurse bench. But hey there is still Trent Jr. to hate on.
