It is bad. MKG has a pretty bad release too.

Totally agree with everyone who said the 76ers blew their chances for a first round pick when they declined his option.

Of course that's why they declined his option... he didn't have this type of trade value.

The rebuilding Atlanta Hawks were 1-8 and on an 8 game losing streak. But they got a break today. They played LeBron and the Cavs.

Now 2-8 and on a one game streak!

The Cavaliers really need Bledsoe... please... please.

I actually think they need Tyson Chandler also

You are right. I forgot about Tristan Thompson being out.

Harden dropped 56 and 10 assist and didn't play the 4th

Porzingis does it again with a monster game. Top-10 player.

IT is doing pre-game warm-ups.

I think it's highly unlikely they trade BKN pick before getting back IT on the floor and after since then they already have IT.

If IT goes down again and would be out for the season, then we had the chance to trade Bledsoe there.

We are starting to get a clearer picture of who the competitors are for the top draft picks... Sac & Mavs in the West and Chi & Atl in the east look solidly bad so far. Wolves are not, for a change... they are 4-0 in 3pt games, unlike the last six years where they lost every close game. Philly is always a threat to collapse of course and Bkn is probably on thin ice. The Lakers have improved a lot even though Ball virtually unable to score (against anyone but us) - the guy mainly responsible is Kuzma. Ingram is somewhat improved and their second unit is okay, too, with Randle and Clarkson. Pels seem to have it more together though one can't count them out in the race for PP balls.

It looks like we could have a shot at the fifth worst record though my guess is we'll end up 7-10. Its truly a guess, it really depends on how much potential gets realized as this season progresses.

He won't be ready till at least after Christmas

 

[Ronin]

Well, Russel Westbrook can expect a fine from the league office any day now.

I seen it it didn't look like anything out of the ordinary to me looked like a regular play by Carmelo

Looked to me like he took that driving opportunity to throw an elbow punch to the face. Looked deliberate and not accidental in the flow. I agree with the officials.

Yup, I thought he was bracing for contact. I thought it looked like a normal play to me.

Leiweke, group shooting for Sonics return

Yes! bring back the Super Sonics.

I didn't know IT was this far along. It looks like the Cavaliers will be waiting for his return if possible.

Right.

I mean remember the NBA in the 90s now compare.

Yes! bring back the Super Sonics.

As long as its not the Suns moving there. Expansion would be fine.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Does anyone think that IT is going to really help the Cavs? They need a distributor, they need defense. They really need defense.

 

[Mainstreet]

I agree with the the officials. The flagrant two foul on Carmelo with the elbow looked intentional.

The elbow can do more damage than a fist.

 

[Finito]

Cavs just need to play with effort. They look flat out lazy out there.

Irving is a terrible defender who passes less than IT. Yeah, they need defense but taking the scoring load off of LeBron will help them a lot.
