    Law of averages. Let Brice shoot every time. He may go 2 for 20 this game.

    Enjoyed Chicago's announcers. A good broadcast team.

    Quotes from the Cavaliers' forums

    The Cavs broadcast shows a differential above the cavs score so their fans know how many points they are winning or losing by. They must think they have a really dumb fan base.

    Taming/domesticating a wild dog

    She probably sees you cheering for the Jazz to win and lose at the same time and knows there is something fundamentally wrong with you. Smart dog.

    Keyonte George’s Star Ascension

    Yeah, Don made more effort after leaving the Jazz. Kinda pisses me off tbh.

    Keyonte George’s Star Ascension

    So far his on man defense from 15 ft and beyond has shown tremendous improvement from last year, and his effort has shown it too. Last year his opponent shot a few % higher than league average and this year it is -1.5ish. His inside d #s are way worse. Likely because not having Kessler behind...

    Keyonte George’s Star Ascension

    IIRC in the 90s it was around 54/55. I was curious a couple years ago and during prime Stockton years he was averaging around 65% which was top 10-15 all time I think. I wish he would have shot the ball more.

    Keyonte George’s Star Ascension

    Maybe I watched a different game. You posted Key scored 31 with Thompson as his primary defender. He scored on a backdoor cut on Thompson and off a screen where Thompson got switched away and Key scored on Stewart in the paint. Those are the only two scoring possession I recall where Key scored...

    Thompson only played 16 minutes. Got hit in the face and never came back.

    This fans dilemma

    I just want the young players to get a lot of burn and opportunities to make mistakes and grow on offense. I also want more accountability on defense. The lack of communications and rotations is abysmal.

    You fingered Key in front of your wife? Nice.

    Hardy isn’t the guy for this job. It isn’t working

    I didn't like the Hardy hire, but he acquired a dumper fire. The lack of defensive rotations is what drives me crazy. Teams have been feasting from 3 with wide open warm up shots. Talent is a factor, but this is far beyond that. I'd also like to see a lot more off ball movement and paint...

    Pacers interest in Kessler- what do we want?

    Ainge told me Kessler has proven he can shoot 75% from 3. Guy is a stud. 4 1st rounders minimum.

    Pacers interest in Kessler- what do we want?

    Per Ainge (saw him at Best Buy), 4 1st round draft picks, Mauthurin and the Law of Surprise.
