That’s your argument, really? That the Raptors are better than the Pacers, so since the Cavs squeaked by the Pacers, the Raptors are definitely going to win? Also, the Cavs are not capable of playing better than what you saw the last 7 games?

You think the Trump org didn’t set this up knowing exactly what would happen?!? She was hand-picked because the Trump crew knew she’d be vicious and knew the Repubs would hate her.

I honestly thought this guy was dead. How are there not steel bars supporting the stage under there??? Holy shit, thought he at least broke his neck and destroyed his face.

I imagine the league will come back in the offseason and look at changing this rule.

Wow ... her smugness and use of the word “witch hunt” when laughing at Alex and repeatedly telling him to “stick to the facts”... “OHH, the NEW YORK TIMES..., there’s a good source”

Traveling has been all over these playoffs so far... Covington taking 4 gather steps before launching 3's, Oladipo taking at least 3 steps on most of his finishes around the rim, all the usual suspects (Lebron, Harden, etc.)... but this is definitely not a travel.

100% true, but I’d modify slightly to say character and respect. Many different personality types have been successful - look at Pop’s in-your-face, ornery personality compared to Phil’s more hippie-esque, philosophical approach.

If he and the Spurs can’t work something out, the most likely landing spots are probably Philly, Boston, or L.A.(Lakers, that is, assuming they orchestrate more than just this).

Another Cavs fan here. Bummer that Kyrie went down - now all the dipshit Celtics fans will continue their delusional takes like this idiot, without having to see Lebron wipe the floor with (a reasonably healthy version of) the C’s until next year.

Serious question: Who the fuck eats Pizza Hut? Who are you people?

Zydrunas Ilgauskas...

Don’t discriminate against the young Kellys...

Yup. No different than any high school athletic department checking the football schedule before locking in the date for homecoming. The Celtics actually happen to have a lot of road games falling on the weekends (presumably when they prefer to do this stuff), but there are at least a few better home+weekend…

You are generally afraid of a lot of things, aren’t you?

And most of those were early in the season. Lot of new faces so any team in that situation needs time to build chemistry. Holtmann for COTY.

Because his contract is virtually untradeable. He’s an aging vet on year 2 of a 4 year/$57 million that will continue to escalate in years 3 and 4.

Agreed, it typically takes time to incorporate new pieces (especially this many - easy to look at how the Cavs started this season for proof), but this Cavs team/situation is different.

100% agree. The Cavs gave up nobody/nothing of value besides their own 1st-round pick which will be around 20 or so. All the players they moved would never be part of their future. The guys they brought in our upgrades or young players who have at least some potential. Their FO did well today.

It says nothing about the Lakers’ thoughts on Lonzo. The Lakers didn’t make the move so IT could be their PG for the future. Unless he miraculously returns to the form he was in last year where he finished #5 in MVP voting, there’s no chance the Lakers will resign him. They did it strictly to increase their cap space…

Clarkson is a good backup PG for George Hill who the Cavs also got. Huge upgrade at the PG position with these moves having George Hill and Clarkson replace IT and Derick Rose.
