***2017-18 NBA Regular Season Thread v5 - Curry is BACK!***

this is loss what 6 of 8?
have they won w/ IT?

i believe they have the second worst D in the league as well

They just lsot by 28 to minny last game too, 2 games in a row losing by 25+? U know LeBron is sulking

 

[HunterSdVa29]

and i know they've done this in the past (Cavs and bern teams in general) but Wade and Bron weren't this old, the second star wasn't coming off injury and also diminutive and plays negative defense, and the other teams in the EC weren't as lengthy and deep overall as they are now despite many major stars leaving
The EC is way more respectable compared to the last ten years when losing teams made the yoffs, and everyone acts like that's a problem for the Warriors. No, its a problem for the aging Cavs

 

[Sauce Castillo]

No one will remember this game come playoff time. Lmao @ the overreaction.

Malcolm Miller and Lorenzo Brown will.

I think you mean nobody will remember the clippers beating gs because the clippers won't make the playoffs lol

Only 1 game out of 8 while playing a ton of games without Blake. Sweet Lou has been a revelation.

 

[berimBOWLoh]

Gs is next on Saturday. They are likely shook

 

[HunterSdVa29]

Sweet Lou is elite at one thing, however, that one thing is a skill that is not exactly prevalent in the Iso lacking modern NBA
edit: he's elite at having multiple gfs too, my bad. Respect

I've been on the sweet Lou wagon, it always crashes horribly in the long run but when he is on he is on. When he is off he won't stop bricking too lol and in the yoffs he is off

i personally don't see their D improving, certainly not with IT on the court now

they can switch on most things and have general size (not down low size) w/ Green/TT/Bern/Crowder and maybe Wade or JR, but then they need Love and IT for offense. And they have zero answer for any player w/ size downlow. Who's gonna hold JVal? or Horford? Giannis? if the pacers improve Myles Turner? Not too mention you can simply run the PnR at IT any time he's on the court and they by default have zero answer. It's been shown this year you can also simply attack Lebron on D, to make him tired and less effective and more TO prone on offense, age is catching up

I'm not seeing it, i wouldn't even bet they get to the Finals

You realize Thompson dominates Horford, right? Horford averages 12 points and 4 rebounds against him in the playoffs.

This is the raptors best franchise win ever

Never scored more vs a top 5 team before according to the commentary

what has TT done since coming back from injury and meeting Kloe Kardashian....

This is why I hope Monroe gets bought out and picked up for the DPE.

How far is that from whoreford's regular season averages?

Sounds like another banner of achievement is warranted!!

4 less rebounds and a bucket. Thompson's asset is getting offensive rebounds which he dominates Horford on.

 

[HunterSdVa29]

they can swap Theis/Baynes combo to mob him up

times are tough in Ohio

 

[HunterSdVa29]

both the ESPN and Fox guys will all go on tomorrow and continue to say 'we're not worried, this is normal' for the cavs

getting blown out by a Lowry-less Raps? not normal

Lowry and Ibaka. DeKobe only had 13. Raptors are just a much deeper team than Cleveland. One of the deepest in the league tbh

Lol at that hairline. Worse than davis robertson during his last few years with the spuds.
