I wasn’t aware that Donovan and Neto played together on Utah, too (until Serena’s interview with Don)

I really don't understand why he started Okoro. The kid finally had something decent going off the bench for a stretch and you go and make him a starter again when his skills don't fit the starting unit at all. Just gonna go right back to being a general non factor.

Having watched the game-winning bucket by Mobley, he starts in the right corner, curls to the lane behind Mitchell and is wide-open for the 12-foot jumper. It looks like a designed play.

No good options. Stevens has been bad and Cedi over the years doesn’t do well starting. Wade will start when he’s healthy but he shoots less often than Ice.

Scottie was 0-5 forever lol. Now 3-10

They're bums (excluding Siakum) that only show up against us. I hope they don't even sniff the playoffs.

Have to call out JA here. If you watched the game, you don’t have to look at the box score to know he was awful. Terrible effort.

I know the Suns colapsed in the paint whenever we went down low. Did he even get the ball in the paint? I don't even remember him taking a shot, honestly.

My perception of the Raptors is a great team from those 3 Cavs games. I didn't realize they were 13-21 against non-Cleveland teams.

Mobley's first game-winner. This should help his confidence.

Just listened to Serena’s interview with Evan and she asked him how the “play” developed. To paraphrase, he indicated that he slid over when Donovan got double teamed and wasn’t really aware of what he was doing but was rather “lost in the moment”.

Bulls up 7 on the Nets with 1:27 left

I absolutely loved the Czar as a coach but can we NOT have him back at the announcers table for the rest of the year ???
He’s horrible! Very knowledgeable but a horrible play by play man

Cedi was +11 tonight.

They tied the score

Wow. What a choke job by MIL. Sure Middleton and Holiday are out but they were up 14-16 points points with under 3 minutes left

Edit: MIL was up 15 with 1:51 seconds left!

I'm apparently in the minority. I love him. First of all, he's a color commentator, not a play-by-play announcer. I love his nuggets about what's happening on the floor from a coach's point of view. He has some very good insights.
