[infection]

Either your joke has stopped being funny or your obsession has reached dangerous levels. Either way, I'm tired of reading it. And since you obviously don't know how to stop, I'm putting you on ignore.

Someone let me know if he regains some semblance of sanity.

I’d imagine he’s waiting for Donovan to call him and apologize for each perceived offense.

I’m just awaiting the trade y’all.

It was pretty hard to watch how clearly the Cavs were targeting Donovan on defense in the 3rd quarter. His D is really, really poor.

Otherwise, I had no expectations for this game. Too many guys out to take any real meaning from this one.

A friend of mine (Pelicans fan) asked if I thought Joe should've been ejected early. I thought he asked about the techs, but he wasn't. Apparently there's a discussion (reddit, dunno) on whether Joe's elbow at Jarret Allen right before he got his first tech is being mentioned as a possible F2. I thought it looked entirely incidental, as Allen came at Joe pretty quickly, and it seems the refs did too.

quin's obsession with Royce needs to stop. the guy received a total of like 2 nba-all defensive team votes and Quin acts like he's some kind of a defensive juggernaut who will do it all

He's his pet. The guy wouldn't start on any other contending team. We overpaid, for too many years, and given him the ultimate free pass.

If some of the other younger players were given the leash Royce gets they might thrive. We will never know.

We really look small AND not very athletic. That’s a dangerous combo in the NBA.

To Cleveland's credit, they knew we were at a disadvantage and really exploited it for an easy win. I hope at some point we learn to do this when playing a short handed or low quality team.

 

[hgb]

I thought we looked solid for a few periods, in particular in the 2nd quarter (I think), we seemed to dig down and defend well (plus hit some shots). If that feeling and that intensity can be replicated, there is hope, but for the most part, this was pretty abysmal.

Trying to keep the analogy straight here, Billy Don Madison apologizes to Nucky oneye Thompson who then proceeds to shoot Josh Lyman to protect Billy Don—is that correct?

Having Don and JC on the floor together is like playing 3 on 5 defensively. And the other 3, sans Rudy, aren’t much better. It’s astounding how often those 2 lose track of their man on D and offer little or no contest if the guy they’re “guarding” happens to be in the vicinity.

I honestly think Ingles wants no part of playing without Gobert. The Jazz are playing terrible basketball currently and Ingles is probably disgusted.

Yeah it really did feel like he purposely got himself kicked out. Was really weird.

I wouldnt want to play with Donovan and Clarkson either.
