    Did NBA league pass make it so you can buy individual games? I want to check out Boogie's debut tonight.

    It wouldn't be one player, it would be two. Even crazier.

    Not when that player is Lebron James.

    Jones will be gone after this season. No chance they keep a roster spot open for a guy that doesn't play.

    I guess that's a "no balls" way of looking at things, if that's Boston's mentality. Personally, if I thought I had a team with potential to make a postseason run, I'd be trying to make shit happen just because of how Love and JR have been battling injuries this year, how LeBron is a big guy who has a lot of miles on him and is playing a ton of minutes AND how their bench can be pretty suspect. Cavs are the best team in the East, but it's kind of silly to say they're so far above other teams that those teams shouldn't even try. If they're at full health and their stars are reasonably rested, sure, but as things are now, no.

    Here's the problem, it's all about your top 2 or 3 guys in the NBA playoffs. Yes, the cavs have flaws, but they have two A+ players, and Love an A-/B+ player.

    The Celtics could trade for butler, who's an A player. But they still don't have anywhere near two A+ players.

    Yikes. I am regretting buying this game.

    NO isn't going to win anymore games with Cousins than without him lol the guy is a nutjob who doesn't elevate the players around him. Most amount of wins Sacramento ever had with him was 32. He's a good player but he isn't someone that results in more wins.

    Azu's response in 3...2...1....

    Can't really argue until he wins something.
  • friendfromlowry
    I didn't think he was going to turn New Orleans around by any means. I just like watching him. Probably my favorite non-Cavs player. He and AD don't get on national television enough for me to catch them.
  • Azubuike24
    2 big men and nothing else isn't winning anything in today's NBA anyway. If they keep Cousins, they still have some work to do with that roster.

    lol, what a sack of shit.

    Cavs need to sign Oakley for the playoffs. He'll handle this.

    Except the Cavs are that far ahead of everyone team in the East as long as Lebron is playing.

    It says a lot about Lebron's legacy that teams aren't even willing to try to beat him anymore. They just concede the East until LeDecline happens, if that ever happens.

    Good way to put it. Does any team in the East have a Lebron? Not even close. Does any team in the East have a Kyrie? No, but getting closer. Does any team in the East have a Love? No, but even closer. Does any team in the East have a TT? Kinda.

    The problem is the Cavs have a lot of talent at the top that they are basically impossible to beat. The only other team that has that talent is GSW and they are in the West.

    For about a month I have thought Isaiah Thomas was going to lead the NBA in scoring per game for the season.

    I'm sticking with it.
