Oh man, I should have stayed up last night. What a night for NBA twitter. Gotta have this a as a playoff series.

“The following players are suspended for engaging in reckless tomfoolery”

Sources: Growing discontent among Cavs

Several prominent players, speaking on condition of anonymity to ESPN, Cleveland.com and The Athletic, expressed doubt that the problems -- an aging roster, defensively challenged personnel and a glut of redundant role players -- could simply be worked out through patience and a chance to coalesce when fully healthy.

Entering Monday night, Cleveland ranked 29th in defensive efficiency, allowing 109.3 points per 100 possessions. Over the past 20 seasons, no team that finished in the bottom two in defensive efficiency made the NBA playoffs, let alone the NBA Finals, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

While an evaluation period to gauge what Thomas will ultimately be able to bring to the Cavs is natural -- Thomas suggested over the weekend it could take him "15 to 20 games or maybe a month" before he would be "back to the level that [I am] used to playing at" -- his timeline is dovetailing with the final weeks leading up to the trade deadline.

 

LeBron: LA next year?
Wade: Houston.
