uh, man im having trouble understanding how ben simmons will make the nets better.

i get the trade and such when it comes to harden and simmons, im just talking pure basketball. with kyrie still being a part-time employee, i dont see how this makes the nets better.

I think that he gives them a versatile shot creator. He can slot in anywhere from 1-3, and that's important when Kyrie can't play because of his vac status.

No Garland tonight. Hope he plays vs the Sixers tomorrow night.

We better hope we can find another scorer/backup PG in the buyout market, because we are nothing even like the same team without Garland.

j/c...

Cavs storming back. Take the lead.

Unreal comeback win.

This team is something else. Such a bummer for all those that don't have Bally's.

Cavs down 20+ and comeback and win it without Garland.

Big game from LeVert.

It's really not the same "watching" the game on the CBS Sports Game Center.

All I have is "Pin Live Score"

Good win Cavs!

That's bonkers!....and dedicated.

You should be able to at least listen on WTAM via the Cavs mobile app. I would assume Youngstown would still be considered in-market.

I am not sure, but I wouldn't think they are.

I don't know if 1390 am is online or not. That's the local Cavs station.

Cavs need to figure out this coming out of the gate and getting their face beat in. Not always going to be able to come back. Have a feeling this game going to be a woodshed kinda game. I still think we needed more firepower at deadline. Hopefully markkanen gets back soon

Still don’t know how ball is an all star and Allen isnt

bigger virus: irving or harden?

Welp ... not looking good for the road team tonight.

This team still needs more offense, we’ve had the benefit of a easy schedule. We still allow teams to shoot crazy percentage of 3’s. Our bigs completely got it handed to them tonight. Break coming at a good time

Actually, we have had one of the harder schedules, at least up to a coupleweeks ago.

not really, we have the 18th hardest schedule, and after the break we have the 21st. So we will def. make playoffs, just depends if we can generate enough offense and defend better

j/c...

Well deserved.

this will be big, he brings alot to both ends

So I was at the game. First time I got to see them play all season. They looked very pedestrian. They are going to have to learn defense if they plan on attending the playoffs.

Hawks outplayed them on both sides of the ball.

yep, i've been able to watch a few more games than earlier, this team isn't really that good. Def. not making any noise once in playoffs when you can't beat atlanta. Altman didn't do enough. Levert has been meh, and we still can't defend the 3 or PNR. Offense doesn't have any consistency. Looks like they are coming back to the mean after playing above their ability earlier in the year. Good new is after the break the schedule is easy and hopefully getting LM back.

Absolutely no surprise here ....

The Cleveland Cavaliers have waived point guard Kevin Pangos. Pangos joined the Cavs this offseason after playing the first six seasons of his career overseas.

Multiple reports from Europe say that Pangos has an agreement to sign with CSKA Moscow after he clears waivers in the NBA. That'll be a return to Russia for the Gonzaga product, as Pangos previously played for Zenit Saint Petersburg.

Pangos has also played for top clubs in Spain and Lithuania.

In playing for the Cavaliers, Pangos fulfilled a personal goal of making it to the NBA. As one of the top guards in Europe, Pangos had stated he hoped to eventually make the jump to the NBA.

As for Cleveland, they'll now have an open roster spot. That could allow the Cavs to add veteran help for their young roster, as they pursue a playoff run.

There was a lot of talk of Lebron returning to the Cavaliers for the 23-24 season, after his contract with the Lakers expires. With al due to his talent and legend, there is only one way I would bring him back .... and that is if he coes with a contract that doesn't blow up our core. If we have to give up 2 of Allen, Garland, LeVert, or Mobley (to fit his contract that would have to be somewhere in the $45 million range) .... then I am not at all for bringing home a 39 year old Lebron.

I'll pass. It would be different if we didn't have this great core and were just meandering. Then I might be okay with LBJ coming back, recruiting his buddies and destroying our cap for "one last ride".

LeBron feels too much of a need to play GM, "coming home" would mean bowing to his every whim for what kind of team he wants, and who he wants to play next to.

I wouldn't mind if he came back, but no way would I like to see "the core" destroyed. I also agree he would have to tone down demands.

I also heard him say something about wanting to play with his son. It sounded like draft his son as a package deal. I guess his kid is good, but I don't know about that.

It's not like Jr. has been brought up in poverty. If I was LeBron, I think I would want my kid to experience the college game and all that goes with that. Things he didn't. It sounds to me that LeBron wants his kid jumping to the pro's for his own selfish reasons.

JMO

Pass on Lebron, he's jilted us enough, he can ring chase elsewhere. It was great to finally win one, so now thats out of the way, we can built something sustainable here. I think he'd ruin all the chemistry they've built.

No doubt a risk, but a risk you take with anyone to some degree, but I understand, he couldn't come in here thinking it's his team.

j/c:

Milk, I'll see you there.

I heard some talk on the radio that there might be a plan for something similar in the upper deck in right field at Progressive Field currently inhabited by those attractive shipping containers.

Well, no Garland or LaVert tonight, and maybe no on Markenen as well .... though no word yet.

We play Detroit, which probably played into things .. but we have to be careful because a team witout 3 of their top 5 can't afford to get over-confident.

Anything would be better than those containers. ANYTHING.

j/c...

Ugh. Rondo and LeVert out 2 weeks. Who knows on Garland.

Well Garland is already listed out for tomorrow’s game. Cavs signed Tim Frazier (who) to a 10 day contract. There has got to be a NBA caliber pg somewhere, Tim Frazier???????? Delly maybe?
