Pretty sure on my drive into work(listening to the game) the person at the red light next to me caught me yelling "Ice mothafucka" at the top of my lungs. haha

Didn't get to watch live but this thread and the box score were nice to see.

With Okoro playing at the level he is lately, the Core 4 may just end up being a very balanced starting 5 for quite some time. Need to see his confidence continue to grow and get that man locked up this offseason.

They need to move LeVert - team is playing well without him, which I find very telling. He's very nice insurance for when Garland or Mitchell goes down, but that's the primary reason I'd keep him. If there's a move that turns him and/or Love into McBuckets and Richardson I make it yesterday. Want to turn his expiring money into a player that's here beyond next year.

I may be the only one, but I want Osman kept. I think he and Wade are solid bench forwards. They need 1-2 shooters but that's all in my book. Who they can swing with their full MLE this summer will be crucial to filling out the roster and really setting up to make extended runs.

Cavs highlights. Enjoy! We looked good. Sadly, it's with Indiana broadcasters.

NBA streaming is such a joke. Bought NBA league pass not realizing my games were still blacked out even though I don't live anywhere near the metro area of Cleveland.

And then the streams like ballys were awful quality.

Yeah, I live in Sacramento and league pass blacks out both the kings and the warriors for me. I also own another home in Reno, Nevada which is a good 140 miles away from Sacramento and they black the kings out there as well.

NHL on ESPN+ same issue. Both Pittsburgh and Columbus games blacked out in my Cleveland region.

Look at the mass difference in DG's forearms. Get this man a girlfriend.

It’s dumb because I have no option in my Reno house to pay for Sacramento market xfinity which provides the kings. At my Sacramento home I have no way of watching the warriors locally either. It’s truly a joke. Thankfully I can watch the Cavs just fine.

Rookie season for Daugherty, Hot Rod and Harper.

The 75-76 starters listed missed starting one game the entire year - among all five of them. Ironmen (until Chones broke his foot in practice before the Boston series goddammit still pisses me off).

I want to call this forced perspective. But no.
