  1. lol they (fans and players) are passing phones around during the suns-blazers game
  2. Brad Townsend @townbrad League source confirms the unbelievable is true: The Mavericks are trading Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris to the Lakers for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick.
  3. Shams confirms it’s real.

  5. Omg now that’s a blockbuster trade. Luka to the Lakers.
  6. Spurs-Rockets should be a pretty entertaining rivalry over next several years.
  7. Positive rep for the avatar
  8. Celtics looking rough recently. Not sure if they are old or just bored.
  9. No Chet, and now no Hartenstein.
  10. Couple things about that game- 1) Pacers offense took off once Haliburton went out with injury - Nembhard did a better job distributing 2) The Pacers' length bothered the Cavs and offense was a chore. Same thing happened vs Atlanta (Cavs are 0-2 vs Atlanta) - length seems to be an Achilles heel for the team, which makes me somewhat trepidatious for the playoffs. 3) Mitchell needs some rest, which is a bit concerning considering last season he underwent platelet treatment in his knee and missed a month or so. 4) Not gonna freak out over one game, but this could be a stretch where we see multiple losses: next 5 games are at Indiana, at OKC, at Minnesota, Phoenix, and at Houston.
  11. As they say, disasters often bring about the best in humanity. And the worst.
  12. Behold! Sark's play calling genius! In all its glory!
  13. Yep - when it was 1st and goal from the 1, should have kept it simple and brought in Arch and do 4 tush pushes if necessary. Instead, Sark knows better than us rubes and he's gonna catch Ohio State off guard so we'll run a slow developing outside run.....oooooo tricky tricky sark there.
  14. the second down play...you gotta be kidding me
  15. Doing his best to get traded.
  16. Lulz...in a game the Cavs won, we get 8 Thunder highlights in this montage. Zero Cavs highlights. Yeah, ESPN & the NBA are not going to let the Cavs get to June.
  17. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/43338041/takeaways-cavaliers-thunder-game-year-nba Was this a Finals preview? Bontemps: It might be -- which is something I likely wouldn't have said 24 hours ago. Cleveland showed a ton in this game. Mobley showed he's an All-Star lock. The Cavaliers took every punch from the Thunder and threw a stronger one back. The result was a 32nd win in 36 games. I wrote about the comparisons between this team and the 2014-15 Golden State Warriors ahead of Wednesday. Those Warriors came out of nowhere, were doubted throughout that season and eventually won a title. I won't say Cleveland will do that right now, but I will say the Cavaliers are good enough to make it to June. Pelton: I'd still bet against it at even odds. Projections using ESPN's Basketball Power Index give these teams the two best chances of making the Finals and yet still show this specific matchup happening just 35% of the time. I'd pick the Boston Celtics over the Cavaliers to win the East. Although the Thunder are the clear favorite in the West, there's plenty that can happen to change that between now and late May. Windhorst: I'm not saying a bad word about either of these teams out of respect after watching that display. I'm also not predicting the Finals in January. But I will give them this: There has been more than one championship team I've seen over the past two decades that wouldn't beat these two.
