Haha. Garnett looks ridiculous.

He looked like a badass when he was first cut, blood running down his face into his mouth

Did they really need that big of a bandage?

[Careless]

The number of different adhesive bandage sizes they have on hand is limited.

Where do you stand on Brooks? He has some nutty rotations if you ask me. Jeff Green is playing C a lot of the time. Put in Collison and Ibaka and stick Green at the 3 where he belongs.

 

I'm not a big fan. He seems more like a transitional coach to me, like Doug Collins was for Jordan. He got everyone to work hard, but tactically he's overmatched and all of his advice or coaching is limited to "play hard" and "rebound"

 

I don't like Jeff Green at power forward, but it was acceptable the last couple of years, because it's not like we wanted to give big minutes to johan petro or etan thomas. But Green cannot rebound, so whatever advantage we get by him stretching the floor or whatever is negated at the end of the game when it should be Collison and Ibaka in there.

Damn, this seemed like a good chance to get a half game on the Heat or Celts coming into the day

I heard Durant was beefing with some no name rapper on Twitter.

[imb]

Hahah, yeah, I had to check that out last night. That guy really is awful. I'm pretty sure Durant could out-rap him.

[SpongeWorthy]

Why does the media protect Durant as much as the officials do? His twitter feed is gibberish and all the links to other feeds that are on his page are of rap video models, strippers, and other various skanks. Now he's calling out players after games and beefing with no name rappers.

 

I demand the media does its job and reports on this !!

Hard to believe the Cavs were 7-9 at one point.

[chuckywang]

KG just punched Frye in the nuts during a shot.

 

That's about as dirty as a play can get.

 

And like clockwork, no fine or suspension for Garnett.

Hard to believe a majority (over 50%) of their fans thought they were playoff bound this year, and a smaller number thought they had a chance to win the division. On of their newspaper guys predicted 50 wins for the Cavs this year.

 

Yeah...no.

[bcl412]

The Cavs futility has been one of my favorite things to follow this year. They really don't look like they will win another game this year.

Something has to give when Washington visits Cleveland in a couple of weeks.

Eddie House was fined $25K for his celebration against Oklahoma City on Sunday.

 

I guess next time, Eddie will have to punch an opponent below the belt instead after he makes a big shot, since apparently that's something the NBA believes is okay.

Kevin Martin (10-11) is the only Rocket to have shot a free throw tonight.

Cavs losing streak in jeopardy. They're down 1 to Indiana with 9 minutes to play.

 

The Pacers led by 17 midway through the second quarter.

[UMFan83]

annnnnd they lost again. Getting closer though! 22 losses in a row, 1 off the single season record (the Cavs back in the early 80's lost 24 in a row over 2 seasons).

 

I am enjoying the fact that the Cavs are 1-32 over their last 33 games, and the 1 win in that span is against the Knicks.

[Magnetic Curses]

cleveland should move to seattle and become the sonics. i see no future for them where they are. best to get a new start in a new city with a new name.

And that one win was in overtime, where they had to make a shot with three seconds left just to force OT and Amare missed a 10-footer at the buzzer which would have won the game. So they're one shot away from having a 33 game losing streak.

I actually kind of agree. The fact that the Cavs had a hometown superstar and the kind of once a generation player and he didn't even stay, makes me wonder if Cleveland is ever going to be able to compile enough talent to win a championship. Furthermore, the Cavs had this player and a 60 win team, and they couldnt recruit any stars to sign with Cleveland as a FA. It would have been like a guaranteed championship if they could have added a player like Bosh but he wanted no part of Cleveland.

 

The only way they could compete for a title again is to build an OKC roster (which is probably the only way OKC could have gotten a legitimate contender) where they have one megastar, one superstar and several other good players all drafted in a 3-5 year span and meshes together quickly. Otherwise, they are just going to make high draft picks and have them leave as soon as they have a chance.

 

I respect the Cleveland fans, and they certainly deserve an NBA team, but I'm not sure if its gonna work out.

[Flames24Rulz]

The Cavs are second in the league in attendance still. They're not [expletive] moving anywhere.

You would have to think that most of that is because a lot of people bought season tickets to rally around the team (I don't know if this is true or not, I don't care enough to look.) and at this point they own the tickets and have said [expletive] it. Plus, this team is becoming historically bad so there is a little intrigue. I would think that attendance would plummet next year.
