Damn it, what am I thinking of? I was wanting somebody to shit in the tank behind the toilet so that it festers over time.

I believe the term you are referring to in that description is “fucking genius.”

 

[Stark]

It's time.

He can still run the bench when Lebron goes out. JR starting puts us behind right away.

That just means JR shouldn't start. I think Lue is still holding it in his mind that JR is a good shooter. I can't even remember the last time he made a 3.

IT giveth, IT taketh away...

Portland is just draining tough tough tough shots. Pullups off of crossovers. WEll defended off the dribble. Fucking christ man.

Find me a game thread where you haven't said this.

 

[Walter White]

Getting a win where IT play down the stretch would leave us with a great confidence boost I think. I feel like we can really accelerate IT's fit with this team. He already looks way ahead of what I expected. Just needs minutes to get comfortable on the court again.

 

[Cavs29fan]

they could care less with guarding the goddamn perimeter

 

[KilgoreTrout]

The fact that we only rebound 2/3 of the other team's misses puts us at a disadvantage...

 

[kookoo]

They're just making everything...

 

[InBoobieWeTrust]

Portland really is a bunch of pussy flopping ass bitches

 

[Benedict_Boozer]

Big minutes here for IT

 

[Zog]

Big stretch here for the 2nd unit. Can help to win tomorrow night's game too if we can keep LeBron on the bench a while longer.

Find me a game thread where you haven't said this.

Let's check the "contested" shot chart after this game shall we? As Moe Harkless makes a contested corner three.

IT playing limited minutes my ass.

For a guy who hasn't played since May? Dude looks absolutely fucking amazing.

He obviously is still a completely elite scorer in this league. as long as he stays healthy he will be absolutely deadly for us. We don't have to worry about him regressing into a non-star scorer, IMO. He's the real deal.

Thank fucking God. Has LeBron been screening for him? That's what I'm looking for most this year. LeBron can't cut it as the only primary ballhandler vs GS. But he absolutely can as a co-primary ballhandler and nasty screener. The one thing I'm thankful for more than anything is that Durant is still a pussy ass screener. He'll never touch a motivated LeBron in that.
