Watched a few minutes of the Cleland game tonight. Hood got blown by 2 times in the 4th quarter. I thought he was trying to throw the game with those and shooting like ****. I was happy I no longer have to watch that.

Yeah, I don't miss Hood at all. Also, watching Cleveland makes me think it would be impossible to like to play with Lebron, or have Lue as a coach. 4 guys stand around, occasionally switching positions around the outside while he tries to make a play. Of course, last night he made lots of them and Cleveland won. With a different coach, a lot more ball movement, and a reasonable defensive coach, Cleveland could be great. Still think they got way better with Clarkson, Hill, Nance. They really needed Crowder though, and now they have Hood. Jokes on them.
 
Rubio's improvement has been a big part of the turn around. He's finally finding out to fit in, even starting to connect with Rudy. Only one time last game did he take a bad shot.
 
What a big win this was last night. This is one I had an L on just looking at the schedule trying to be realistic in trying to determine what their final record might be, so this is huge, and the pacers ar not slouches. Defense was amazing last night

LeBron has over eight thousand career assists. If there's one criticism I've heard of him through the years it's that he's too unselfish.
 
I think the biggest issue with Hood was that he was injury-prone and this has been the source of his inconsistency, which is the major reason his development has stalled -- similar to Burks only not as bad. Burks's injuries stem from reckless play. Too bad, both have a lot of unrealized potential that it looks like will never come to fruition. Looks like the Jazz have given up on Burks. I think they were trying to unload Burks before the deadline but there were no takers so they were forced to give up Hood to get Crowder. Looking back, who would've ever thought that Jingling would take their place.

I wouldn’t automatically put the Jazz down for a loss against ANY team in the East. IMO, Utah a push against any team over there - even Toronto, Boston and Cleveland. That conference is so bad overall (and the West is so good overall) that win/loss numbers are not necessarily a good indicator of both team’s quality. I’d take any of the top 10 in the West right now (and maybe the Lakers too) over all but Cleveland, Boston and Toronto in the East.

Cavs would be better with Burks than Clarkson.
