Cavs suck again. Oh well. Only bet them at home is what I'm gonna do going forward.

Buried. I take responsibility for my plays.
I liked em going in. Props to Embiid and Young for going off L2 games.
Will sum up the burial tomorrow. Good Luck, boys.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Cavs with another shitty game. WTF. I saw a lot of lazy mutherfukkers out there tonight. They looked like they were just waiting for the ASG this weekend. FUKKKComment -
Marc Gasol. I forgot he went back to Europe. I thought he had retired.Originally posted by ChuckyTheGoatComment -
The top 3 worst defenders of Embiid?? 2 of them play for the Cavs and the other one used to play with the Cavs.

Bulls should grab Marc Gasol. He can't possibly be worse than Tony Bradley.Originally posted by Mac4Lyfe

Oh, wow, nice. Props to Marc, good player.Originally posted by Mac4Lyfe
I love the Analytic stats. Sometimes misleading, tho, maybe Marc guards tightly and Embiid becomes a passer.
Looks like Embiid starts salivating when he sees Drummond.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
He's playing for the team he owns. I think it's like a step up from YMCA level lol... I expect most of the guys have part-time jobs. Needless to say he can drop it any time he wants/ IF he wants. I reckon he could swing a series...Originally posted by Mac4Lyfe
I remember Rick Mahorn giving the Pistons quality mins in the playoffs vs the Hawks at the tail end of his career -they had nobody else to defend Laetner or Mutumbo in the post!Comment -

1-6 last night yikes, prop bet happy carrying over from the SuperbowlOriginally posted by shadymcgradyComment -
^^^ Mobley had a good night. But this Cavs team really needs Jarret Allen to perform each night. The Cavs normally win when he has a double/double. It's not pretty when he only has 7 boards. I think the Cavs have hit a wall. The last month has been very up and down, even thought they're still winning 70% of their games. They need the next week off with the All Star Game. These guys are young and some look like they've hit a rookie wall. The Cavs really need Markannen back too. Dean Wade don't need to be starting for any team. Pairing him with Okoro in the starting lineup is stupid. Neither can (or is willing) to shoot the ball, so you're playing 3 on 5 because teams aren't even guarding them. That's why they've been in big holes in the 1st quarter.Comment -
Okoro needs to develop into that premier scorer or playmaker fast if they want a shot at being a serious contenderComment -
Maybe start Lavert, he’s overrated as an energy, scorer guy off the bench anyway, until he finds his flow with this team. Maybe starting him expedites the processComment -

Paid my bookie today. Says to me "Here, take this."

How awesome is this PORTLAND team? Going for 4th straight.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Teams are packing the paint with Okoro and Wade in the lineup. Okoro looks like Ben Simmons, scared to death to shoot. Trae was guarding him and didn't break a sweat. Trae weighs like 150 lbs.Originally posted by shadymcgrady
Yep, I agree. Start Levert and get your offense going early.Originally posted by WrongsideComment -

Huge props to Simons and Nurkic and company. Very impressive.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Of course not; 100s of millions of $ at stake. Nurkic is trying to prove he can be a guy you can build around. Not necessarily a lead guy like Jokic or Embiid but a #2 rather than a #3 scoring option as he has been most of his career. Simons might be looking at 20mil a year (that's the figure Schroder infamously turned down last year!) if he can be what the Blazers want him to be.Originally posted by ChuckyTheGoatComment -
Only teams that really tank are those with insufficient talent. They get depressed/ brow-beaten, let go of the rope.Comment -
Another couple wins for Mobley (Rising stars tournament).Comment -
Then why did Blazers trade McCollum?Originally posted by IBetYouWhere's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Same reason teh Mavs traded KP; poor fit/ need for other pieces. With the NBA salary cap/ luxury tax rules you just can't have an expensive piece on you roster and him be a poor fit.Originally posted by ChuckyTheGoat
Just need to ask yourself... is Nurkic motivated? Is Simons motivated? Is first year coach Billups motivated? If the answer to these questions is yes then they're not tanking until the GM pulls the plug -which he might do later, although I suspect they'd prefer a push for the play-in because it's so important to develop the talent you already have.Comment -
I think the NBA has solved the problem of extreme tanking…Comment -
They should just get rid of the lottery system all together imo. Free market. Championship contenders aren't going to be too interested in rookies. The vast majority of players will go to the team that offers the most money. Lakers can't sign everyone
What they're trying to do clearly doesn't work anyway. Teams with the brand advantage or location advantage will have a step-up on the rest no matter what they try.Comment -
But that would kill the small market teams. Teams like Sacramento, OKC, Memphis, etc., just can’t compete with an LA, NY or Chicago. Lebron couldn’t get free agents to come to Cleveland even when they were in the Finals every year. The Cavs only have had success because they’ve gotten very lucky in the draft and have an owner that makes a shit load of money with real estate and Casinos and don’t mind spending.Originally posted by IBetYouThey should just get rid of the lottery system all together imo.

Mobley is special….People who know the nba noticed this a while back. Kid has everything.Comment -
Just figured out why Cavs might have no chance. Allen is an absolute Beta. If Cavs played 76ers in playoffs, bet your house…with your only worry that Embid might get hurt…and Doc RiversComment -
The lottery system worked against the Cavs once they got James -they always made the playoffs. Caught in no-man's land. They gave a few swings at getting a 2nd star but they made poor choices -guys like Larry Hughes & Mo.Williams & Wally Sczcerbiak. Having a good GM is important!Originally posted by Mac4LyfeComment -
Levert is hardly a saviour. Seems like a mediocre player to me, rather like Will Barton. Plays a slo-mo game but not with great size/ strength. Seems to play with blinkers on/ doesn't involve his teammates well. They actually played better before he showed up.Originally posted by Wrongside
Comment -
That's a pretty good comparison in terms of players, tend to agree. Let's see how LeVert is utilized, I'm thinking best for second units at the end of the first and third quarters, beginning of 2nd and 4th quartersOriginally posted by IBetYouLevert is hardly a saviour.

Mac what's the word on markannen? Is he playing or not tomorrow?Comment -
Markkanen IN, Garland/ LeVert OUTComment -
Allen is really the key to the Cavs playoff chances. When he has a double double they normally win. This is very scary because he is a beta, soft as cotton.Originally posted by Wrongside
