Kyrie is hurt and I do NOT want him coming back in I think it's a hamstring

They got lucky after not playing defense. But a win is a win!

Yes a win is a win. I don't care how ugly. If you win you win.
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

yep, at least we won. Wasn't pretty, but beating boston is nice

That "get that garbage outta here" look on Lebron's face when Smart tried to get in his face was priceless. Also when Lebron viciously charged Olnyk and didn't even take the shot.

Boston is a really easy team not to like, I think Thomas is a tool, and the rest of their players act like they are better than they are and resort to cheap shots and constant whining, like Golden State without the skill

Houston is a fun team to watch. Too bad they're the type of team that gets bounced in round 1 because they don't defend.

McCrae finally showed something tonight.
20 points, 8-12 from the field, 3-4 from 3.

Hardin had 53 points, 16 boards, and 17 assists last night. I had to read that stat line about 10 times to make sure I got it right. First player in NBA history to go 50+, 15+, 15+. Impressive. To think him, Durant, and Westbrook all played on the same team together at one time.
LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...

Lebron, Wade, KD, and Harden are all in different teams. Plus, Bosh is out indefinitely. Only Westbrook remains. Crazy.

A win is a win I suppose.

A win is a win I suppose. Low scoring and ugly games are good once in awhile. Need to win some games that way. I feel a low scoring game is better for a guy like Lebron too.

I guess Kevin had bad food poisoning. He's lost 10 pounds in the past two days...and still played. Maybe that was a factor as well.

Looking at the East right now, there's a very real chance we make it to the NBA Finals 2-3 more years in a row. That's freaking nuts to think about. Lebron could end up making the finals 8-9 years in a row. Think about that.

I know the game is on ESPN tonight. Just sit Lebron.

For what they paid for tickets, they're not really getting their money's worth. This game's hard to watch.

Cavs never really had a chance this game, Shame on lue for even playing lebron if he wasn't 100%.. too many JAGS playing tonight, love Frye but JC he has to be the softest guy in the league..we need a backup C bad so he can play the 4.. I get it being a home game and all but its not like we were going to have much of a chance, i'd just rest lebron kyrie and love if they are ill/injured.

That awkward landing by Lebron is why he should not play every game. One bad slip and our season is done.
I don't care if fans get screwed one game.

What do y'all think of bringing in Jarrett Jack? He is going to "hold an open audition" in the hopes of getting signed by some team.
Any interest?

Any interest? We definitely need to look at something to help out. If KLove and Kyrie are going to continue to miss games here and there, then LeBron is going to need someone else to lean on to contribute and eat minutes. From one game to the next, I worry about the physical toll this game takes on LeBron. I know he's in world class condition, but he is getting "old" with a lot of miles on his legs.

Any interest? Well, we don't have a roster spot for him, unless you want to cut McRae or Liggins. He wasn't exactly lights out the first time we had him either. I say we drag Mo Williams out of soft-retirement and make him earn his contract.

I wish we could work something out and free up Mo's roster spot. Jack can score and run the point. He was doing both last year until he got hurt. He might not be a bad guy to back-up Kyrie.

j/c: Vertical Sources with @ShamsCharania: Atlanta is finalizing a deal to send guard Kyle Korver to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.
