2017-18 Daily Discussion

Admittedly it's one of those incidents that's easily overblown, but at the same time, seems like there's something to that. Love seems to be the scapegoat in Cleveland at the moment, and Crowder doesn't seem to be #AllForOne, either. Could ultimately be a storm in a teacup, but it seems things are a little tense right now.

[[Q]]

Any of you saw the video of Love getting knocked down and jae crowder not giving a shit about it? Makes my blood boil.

Somebody's gonna have to inbound the ball, and Love ain't doing it on the floor, so...

[shadowgrin]

Rumored that IT is the bitch that leaked to Woj what happened in the Cavs' players only meeting and the one that kept pressing on the issue of Love 'quitting on the team' during their blowout loss.

[Andrew]

I saw a post (possibly on Reddit) that succinctly summed up the situation. The Celtics got the guy who wanted out, whereas the Cavs got the players who were happy where they were.

[NovU]

I still think some of Cavs players don't take regular season seriously. Tristan Thompson who is the best defensive effort guy hasn't even played over 500 minutes for the season and look at 8 guys with most minutes played, only 2 of them are under 30 years old namely Love and Crowder. Perhaps things will look up and this defense problem will not be so much of an issue later on. The Cavs should know this and shouldn't get shortchanged if any trades are made by deadline. They know they are better than their records/suggest, and aren't desperate to make costly trade.

Yeah I don't know how happy crowder was about getting moved especially when his mom died or was in the hospital

he picked the wrong profession if he wants stability

Boogie tore his left Achilles jesus christ what a sad day. They were my lowkey favs too because I was rooting for boogie to get to the playoffs so we can see playoff boogie. feelsbadman

[I Hate Mondays]

I'm devasted. Prayers for Boogie

[SoF'nAwesome]

And at this part of the season it basically means no chance of him playing again in this season, unlike Gordon Hayward.

[Andrew]

Terrible stroke of bad luck for Boogie there.

[Phil89]

Injuries suck.

Andre Roberson ruptured his patellar tendon against the Pistons today and will miss the rest of the season as well

It's a massive blow for OKC's defense.

Yeah, they really struggle defensively when he is not on the floor as well. The other part of his injury that sucks is: It looks like he slipped on the floor. Non contact injuries really, really suck.

Ferguson and Abrines are really going to need to step up.

[Kevin]

Really hoped for a bruised tailbone there because he fell ass first but little did we know he tore his tendon on that jump. Jesus.

Harden has a 60 point triple double. Rockets are taking out the Warriors this year.

[Andrew]

Using Nick Wright Logic, the fact that he is the first player to do this means he's the best player in the league, and for that matter, the greatest of all-time. Only haters trotting out the same old arguments that are now invalid because I say so in my infinite wisdom would even dare dispute this unquestionable fact.

In all seriousness, that is an impressive feat. I'm still not sure about the Rockets getting past the Warriors, but at the very least, I don't think it's as big of a stretch as it once was.

[Kevin]

CANAAN GOT INJURED LIKE HAYWARD DID FUCK FUCK FUCK

[Axel The Great]

Harden has a 60 point triple double. Rockets are taking out the Warriors this year.

He did so playing 46 minutes with CP3, Ariza, and Gordon out. Had to put the team on his back to get the win.

[[Q]]

I didn't know those guys were out. Makes sense now

[cavs4872]

What a platter of games tonight... all 5 games are worth watching. All are +.500 teams, 'cept Grizz @ Pistons, which is the marquee game for obvious reasons.

[bowdown]

CJ MCcollum 50 pts on 25 shots. 28 in the 1st Q.
Played only 29 minutes. Against a weak ass Bulls team tho but I ain't mad.

[Andrew]

Ridiculous performance by McCollum indeed. I believe he joins Klay Thompson as the only play to score 50 in less than 30 minutes of playing time.

[SoF'nAwesome]

this is such a great Rockets team but even this team won't be able to take it past 6 games against Warriors in the finals. just shows how much KD fucked up the league

[Jackal]

Anyone else reminded of Stefan Urquelle (Jaleel White) when they see CJ McCollum?

[benji]

Clips were up 104-101 and Mavs had the ball, Doc subbed BOBAN in with seven tenths of a second on the clock to stand in front of the inbounder, Yogi Ferrell caught the wild pass while out of bounds so no time went off the clock, then Doc immediately called timeout to advance the ball and sub BOBAN out for Gallinari. :dead
