I'm doubting this bimbocoles gamethread.

Until these guys show some passion on defense, I'll start getting entertained.

 

[Rich]

Who's ready to catch this L?

I'm not falling for that. We'll have a great game [like hitting 50 3s or something], show some effort, beat a bad team, and then lose the next game by 30 with the same problems showing up again. It needs to be the post-season or a string of games for me.

 

[Omar The Horse]

Magic by 30

 

[Crosby_Cavs]

Win would be nice.

Feeling a new streak coming on...and considering how many threads I have to make coming up, that's a good thing...

So never fucking doubt it...

 

[Andrew]

It's March and it's a back to back, anyone resting today or tomorrow? Would James play in both?

 

[godfather]

Cavs going to lose 5 games in a row? I just can't see it. I mean, that is a really scary feeling if they do. I think they take this game serious and destroy the Magic.

Not sure I feel confident about them winning in Houston though.

 

[David.]

Haven't we beat them like 30 times straight

Might depend on how tonights game goes.

If we kick Orlando's and LeBron and Kyrie can somehow stay under 35 minutes, I think there's a good chance they play tomorrow.

After the last few games, I'd just have a blank OP.

Anyways...

I was looking at lineup numbers. Interesting.

Kyrie/Shump/LeBron/Frye/TT = 5-1

Kyrie/Shump/LeBron/RJ/TT = 1-3

 

[Ohio]

Shump & RJ starting again?

Awesome, Lue. Here comes another L.

Is JR still on a minute restriction? If not, I don't get it...

Talk about no offense and not much defense either.
