I wish they had gone after Bryn Forbes.

Minnesota signed him for $2.5 million. Prior to this season, his career average is 42% from 3 in six seasons.

I was also on Team Forbes before Rubio got hurt last season. I get that he is not a huge upgrade from Neto as an overall asset. He can't run an offense like Neto and like Neto hurts you defensively.

No offense but if your exercise bike threw you on the floor a half dozen times and then ran over you with a 250 pound gorilla on it….. .it wouldn’t be hard to understand.

I'd pay good money to see that.

I remember the fastest player on our amateur team could run a 10-flat 100-yard dash. (I'm that old.) I asked our player-coach if he could play in the NBA if he were 6 7. (He was a 6-foot guard.) He said, "Maybe. He might not be fast enough."

So many NBA players have a lightning first step that they're past you and laying up the ball before you can jump. Then when they're 220 or 240 or 250, are you really going to step in front of them? More than once?

That's why the players get tired.

But, we have guys here who ride their exercise bike REALLY HARD!!!!!!!!!!

That's funny, this post sounds like it came from someone half their age

I’m young at heart, by my body is old.

And my mind has the wisdom of experience and the courage to speak truth.

Have mercy on us all.

Good GOD.

When Cedi is in bad Cedi mode, he’s tough to stomach

You talking about Mr. Top-5-in-the-league-plus-minus? Bad Cedi has taken a back seat! Good Cedi’s up front, and he’s more excited about driving than Toonces!

Guess WHAT! Just got off my bike AGAIN, and I kicked its ass AGAIN!

Second night of a B2B, and _I_ ain’t got no tired legs!

Quietly, our defense was just fine last night. If the Cavs hit a completely reasonable 30% from the outside instead of the low teens, we win.




I'm alone on the "Dean Ain't All That" Island - but he needs to clean up his fundamentals on defense. You are right, he had the correct positioning, but he gets handsy. Bump with the chest and keep the hands up high and you get more calls.

I agree with this. I think he is playing with his hands because of his knee, personally. Though I have to say, Raps play defense with their hands and they get away with it. It sucks watching them smack a guy handling the ball repeatedly.

I mean, I get it - they get jostled by big guys. But it’s not like FOOTBALL - it’s not like they get crunched to the GROUND by 300-pound D-linemen. It’s not like HOCKEY - where guys get crunched against the boards at high velocity. Get back up on that horse!
