:chuckles: You've been all over the place this week, Max.

 

[Ohio]

Im feeling a good performance tonight as well.

 

[ice cream man]

from Lloyd:

Mike Brown believes both Tristan Thompson (ankle) and Anderson Varejao (knee) will be available tonight vs Rockets

:chuckles:

Cuz this is such a huge game...

I'd like to see how we play if TT was held out and Andy came back.

 

[Thelorn]

Loss tonight followed by a loss to Mavericks on Monday.

Rockets article: They seem to really have a lot of respect for Irving. Interesting to get a different view.

Everyone in the league besides our own fans have respect for Irving :chuckles:

If we beat Houston tonight, I see us beating Dallas tomorrow. IF that happens, maybe we can get on a roll and play the right way for a while

 

[Futuredome]

So is Mike going to try anything different tonight............nope=loss. I would start Bennett next to AV tonight and give TT the night off.

 

[Goldin Brown]

Why do I feel like the Cavs will win this one?

 

[Rich]

This will he super ugly quick. They'll hit about 3 3s in the first 3 minutes and you'll know it's over.

 

[RchfldCavRaised]

Cavs come out strong with Irving playing out of his mind, sharing the ball and creating his own shots. Dion starts strong as well until Jack moves him off the ball.

McHale makes ONE coaching adjustment midway through the 2nd/at halftime

Rockets players gain momentum and confidence once they see their coaches adjustment is working.

Brown puts hands in his pockets and calls multiple timeouts without making counter adjustments or substitutions and then blames loss on players lack of effort and desire.

Rinse and repeat on Monday with Dallas as well.

Pains me to agree. But I can't say I'd be surprised in the least.

 

[Surge]

Zeller is going to make Dwight his bitch.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

I wrote a haiku for the Cavs game tonight:

Mike Brown on the bench
Sucking butt, night after night
Ho hum, one more loss

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Here's another haiku:

God I hate this team
No semblance of an offense
Jack and Irv just chuck
