2016-2017 NBA Season Thread [ARCHIVED] Basketball • Page 183

I still don't think any East team is capable of beating the Cavs more than two times in a series. I fully expect the Cavs to sweep round 1, then maybe lose 2 to 3 games tops throughout the rest of the East rounds. If I had to bet, I'd say Cavs will go 12-2 throughout the East.

 

Love had somewhat of a miserable series vs Golden State. He doesn't match up well with them at all. I think the last 10 games vs GSW, he's averaging like 8 & 7. To be honest, anything he'd give you in the finals is a bonus. The Cavs are good enough with LeBron and Kyrie to shoulder most of the muscle and between Frye, Korver, JR/Iman/RJ and TT, they'll get plenty of contributions to put them over most teams.

 

Cavs need to start hosting team dinners again. Not only is it cool to see from a fan perspective, but it also seemed to have a direct correlation to the performance on the court.

 

I love the story about Channing Frye joining the team last year and really being the guy who brought everyone together and when asked about the team having several cliques he said he 'didn't know or didn't care' and started including everyone on group texts/get togethers.

Channing Frye helped unify Cavs locker room

 

middleton gonna go off tonight, book it

 

He may go off tonight, but it probably be best he saves that energy for his season debut on Wednesday.

 

days of the week are tough

 

Mavs Blazers is a fun watch right now. Had to know the Mavs would go on a little run once Dirk got back. You can never count out Dirk/Carlisle.

 

Evan Turner broke his hand because of course, can't wait for a pointless playoff push

 

Poor Evan Turner. His tenure in green will forever endear that dude to me.

 

I miss old Woj when he would just post great stories/headlines on twitter

Everything I see on him now is podcasts and stuff that I don't have time to pay attention to. Hopefully he goes back to breaking news quickly/efficiently

 

I can't even get vertical on my phone anymore so I'm kind of happy about it.

 

PUT KHRIS IN

this is gross

 

our defense and ball possession are truly terrible

 

KHRIS SAVE US

 

we are truly terrible

 

Man this team blows

 

Jabari’s playing so much better with Khris feeding him

 

luckily they're playing super sloppy and getting lucky with hitting dumb shots. gotta hope that evens out some and we start hitting

 

Anyone else want to comment on Charles Oakley requiring about 10 security guards to force him out of MSG?

 

here we go

 

There's been heat for awhile, I'll post if I see anything. Dolan has had beef with Oakley for decades and no one even knows why.
