Not sure what 76ers can get for Turner at this point.

I mean that idea they wanted a 1st rounder? gone. Unless they take someones 2025 1st rounder or something.

Even Mike Brown is starting to look better, what are these guys drinking all of a sudden?

They're drinking "playing against Philadelphia". Andy was out, Dion and Kyrie were out the second half and we still won handily. Wait til we play a real playoff contender before getting too excited. You'll see Brown's flaws come out then.

7 guys in double figures, 60 rebounds, 28 assists..only negative was 20 turnovers.. Defense was solid. Held Philly under 20 in two quarters.

i do not understand the negativity. when we barely beat bad teams, people say wait til we play the good ones. we destroy a bad team, and the same comments arise.

in the past 10 days or so, we are 5-0 with our PG winning ASG MVP and our SG being a highlight of AS weekend, and people still are not happy.

there is reason for excitement. Brown has even changed his defensive looks from what AC said. He does not "show" much anymore.

Who said I wasn't happy? I'm happy with the players. Brown did fine tonight. I'm just trying to be realistic...a great 5 game stretch doesn't negate an entire season's worth of mismanagement and ineffective schemes for the player personnel we have.

This was a game the Cavs faced zero adversity. You'll see how good they really are come March.

I do not think anyone is forgetting where we came from entering this 5 game win streak. We have not played top competition, but at least we are beating the teams that we are better than now. March will be the test, I agree, and hopefully we build momentum heading into it by winning the bulk of the remaining FEB games.

Sucks I missed the game because TWC are a bunch of morons, but awesome we've won 5 straight!

 

[DatDudeZ3]

Tonight would have been a perfect game and I would be pumped right now riding a 5 game winning streak with Orlando coming to town tomorrow but Dion had to get hurt and ruin all that.

 

[CleveRocks]

Orlando will be a different matchup. They have a brutal center in the middle.

Last night every body was feeding Tyler, and he was finishing well. But Spencer Hawes is not strong in the post. That will be the center of the orlando game...

Being realistic means U understand they can't do anything about the putrid play before the winning streak.
Except not repeat that high school display.

What matters now is they continue to improve and win.
