Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Rubio saved the game.

Even when they were down big he understood what no one else on the team did.

If he didn't shoot it, then someone else, someone worse, was going to. And so he forced shots. And sometimes that's just what you have to do to shake a team loose.

So he took some bad shots because that's what the team needed. Someone to just force some bad shots, as opposed to doing absolutely nothing with the balll for 20 seconds and panicking at the end of the clock.

I'm watching Tatum and I just don't see how/why Brad Stevens doesn't offer him up while his stock is still super, super high and build around Brown.

Yea, maybe it blows up in your face, or maybe you get a Herschel Walker like return and Tatum never actually fulfills his promise. Which I think is more likely at this point.

A player like Tatum is JUST what this team needs! I would give up two unprotected firsts for him!

Oh, that’s right. I’m in Oregon LOL!! They just interviewed Evan. Class act answers and cool cucumber. Downplayed the “Chris Bosh” question and just stated how comfortable he has become! Awesome!! We are so fucking lucky to have this kid!!
 
Windler needs to get some props. For some reason he was benched to close the game with 7 minutes to go.

He makes the offense move because of his high iq. He crashes the boards. He defends. He doesn't get any credit from the coach.

I hope jbb notices him this time.

I would love to have Tatum on this team.

He sucks bad, but whatever. Once the cavs hire a good coach they will take the next step.

They are talented.

Won 6 of 7 and in the top 4 - he was just highly praised on NBATV. If the vote were held right now he’s a CoY candidate. Of course, he does have overwhelming talent - Okoro, Cedi, Wade, Valentine, Windler — what coach wouldn’t have won with superstars like that?
 
2 guys above me who haven't watched Tatum play all season.

I'd probably offer a lot of Tatum just because of the potential but....I think he's probably the most overrated player in the NBA currently. He's considered a superstar and he absolutely isn't one.

what we were missing all night was movement. Windler always brings movement. he should have gotten more minutes than he did tonight.

Coach Dwyane Casey won coach of the year.

This team plays hard and is talented. Don't underestimate their talent. The coach isn't good at all.

If Boston can’t beat us on a night when we played very possibly the worst game of the year, they stand no chance Monday. Mobley just put the Cavs on his back and ripped the Celtics hearts out.

I gave up on this game after the first quarter. Sometimes it's just not your night.

This was completely unexpected. Rubio, Mobley and of all people... CEDI willed this game into the win column.

This team doesn’t give up. They are worth supporting during the rough times because even if they face adversity, they don’t quit.

Cedi went full berserk right at the start of the fourth. So good to see.
