Denver will have a tougher road this year.

Drives me crazy. He dies on every screen and points his finger flat footed at his teammates instead of simply helping the helper on defense.

10+ games seems overstated. Cleveland projects to a smaller gap than that, and they're playing short-handed.

I've never seen Luke look better. That was impressive.

Brad brought in Tillman to motivate Luke.


I hope Luke can recover his 3pt shot without losing anything else he now has.

But, for reasons I don't wholly understand, that feels like a big ask.

Kornet with an ambitious lob. It's the journey, not the destination.

Yeah you can pull Tatum. Almost a replay of game 7 of the ECF there.

A smart coach would have his team at a 43 win pre-AS game pace and winning tonight's game by more than 30.

I’ll be disappointed if this is an 8 pt game with six minutes to go

That's an odd thing, isn't it? When he first got here he had a reputation of being able to hit the three, now he never takes it anymore.
