You certainly won't be posting his highlights vs Gonzaga, that's a damn sure.

It just feels like getting another number one pick isn't in the cards. There's some serious mojo getting 5 in the last 15 years.

There are a lot of bad teams that have sucked forever and they haven't gotten the number one pick in decades.

The odds are actually pretty low, even for a bad team like us. We shall see.

His inefficient shooting self will fit in well with this team!

 

[KilgoreTrout]

It’s always fun to watch this team fall apart. Here’s the Lakers 12-0 run, after we had the ball and a 9-point lead, with 5 minutes to go.

With chance to go up 11:
TT missed hook shot
Kuzma 3
Hood miss 3
Hood foul on LeBron, lead is 4
Clarkson miss 3
LeBron made 3
Clarkson miss 2
Cedi fouls LeBron
Cedi misses lay-up
Nwaba fouls LeBron
LeBron makes 1.

Lakers up 3.

The good thing is I wont have to hear Doris Burke do a Cavs game again this year. Her breaking down the game for me. Gtfo with that. If i could dunk i would posterize her ass.

 

[buckeyefan]

So many missed wide open three’s...

 

[CommD]

James would have been content to let Cavs have the game. Cavs couldn't take it. Korver wide open three and Nance layup might have been enough.

Which is the problem with tanking.

It's not guaranteed.

There has to be some way in which we can re-enact 2011, take on some salary and then add another lottery pick.

I mean at the same time getting a guaranteed top 5 pick is better than gambling with say the 3rd of fourth-worst record.

Also 4 lottery slots instead of 3 now. Number 1 can drop to 5.

Yeah but most other teams don’t have the GOAT collude with Pat Riley and then Magic Johnson for multiple years to leave your team TWICE 8 years apart.

Silver has to keep Dan from launching an investigation somehow. The ASG is a good start, gimme Zion and the debt will be paid.

14 percent is not something to count on or get excited about. Getting a respectable front office and coaching staff that can draft and develop players into a system from the lottery is. We spend a ton of time hoping to win the lottery, but what about fixing the franchise from the top down so we don’t waste these picks!

bron still helping cavs, they getting that top pick.
