Yeah, that's correct. He was out for awhile with an injury.

I know he was hurt. I guess i forgot just how new he is to the team.

Bruh… I’m almost 40 and I’ve been hanging with this 23 year old the last few weeks and it’s been difficult….

Sorry I’m late…..

But better me being late than her….

That qualifies as a define excused absence/tardiness

So did that fan complete the challenge for $500 dollars and eat 117 chicken nuggets?

I think he bowed out at around 100.

Goodness. Just watched the game.

Had flashbacks to Eric Snow tossing it far in the air to run out the clock on that last Garland tap out (not remotely in the same kinda toss).

Dunno what to say but I loved it, the atmosphere was amazing, and there were so many big plays!

So happy to see the team pull through with this one! They earned it. Caught that LAL/TOR score while watching. Not a bad night!

Cavs were down by 14 points in the 4th and tied it. Insane.

Fedor pointed out that this was the first game since 1963 that three teammates under age 25 had 25-point double-doubles in the same game. This young core of Garland, Mobley, Markkanen, and Allen is poised to do great things. Even without Allen and with LeVert on a minutes restriction they beat the Clippers and Nuggets and lost by four to the Sixers.

Holding the Nuggets to 44 points in the second half and forcing 15 turnovers was the key.

 

[Mcreek]

And how about next year when they have Allen and Sexton?

Can Sexton and Levert coexist?

Can Sexton and Levert coexist?

I think together they’d put a ton of pressure on opposing defenses. It might be a my turn your turn situation but that’s not as deadly for a 2nd unit and both guys want to win badly and will try to adjust their games to help each other. LeVert is a solid drive and kick guy. Sexton is a good spot up shooter. They will need a shooting big out there with them for maximum spacing. A Sexton/LeVert/Love/Mobley 2nd unit could kick some major ass. The one big missing piece there is a really good 3 point shooting wing. That would really take every unit we have to another stratosphere. We need to find a Mikal Bridges in the 2nd round lol or find an MLE guy ready to have a career year. Or pry Duncan Robinson from the heat but not sure you can do that without sending Sexton or Markannen or LeVert. What can we get for Osman, Windler and 5 second rounders? Lol

Cavs by 3 ... calling it

Had my waterboy moment last night, called that win by the exact difference at the start of the second half.

Tell ya what a healthy Denver squad with a fresh Murray might be in the conference finals…

Sneaky contender…
