LOL.
Damn the kings are the punching bag of the league, lol.

What I like about this image is that you could swap pretty much any Kings trade into it.

Refreshing to see the Cavs back to sucking ass again. JR Smith with a champion like -28.

Cavs say wake us when the games actually matter.

Yeah, that's why Lebron played 39 minutes tonight, because they don't give a fuck about the game.

So uh, the Timberwolves, Blazers, and Mavericks have all been playing really well since the all-star break.
Wouldn't all games matter at this point. Celtics trailing close, Cavs want that number 1 spot, no?

He's said countless times he could care less about which seed they are. They have the ability to win one on the road when need be.
I agree Lue shouldn't have played him 39 minutes, although JR's first game back and he looked rusty as fuck.

They all can still make a run to the 8th seed, which is awesome. Too bad they can't catch the Thunder or the Grizzlies though. Memphis just lost to the fucking Nets, that alone should disqualify them for the playoffs.
Believe in the Curry Bowl!

Only low seed they might have to worry about is the Heat (or Pacers for one extra game), and guessing where the Heat will be from 6 through 8 isn't really possible.
I mean, is there really a difference between which of the Wizards, Raptors, and Celtics they face in the ECSF or ECF? Bulls might upset one of the second-tier teams, maybe Heat go full Waiters in the first round, and Pacers and Hawks can also upset. Makes no major difference for the Cavs, maybe makes it even easier.
Grizzlies have lost their touch recently, but the Nets are also not that bad. They were playing close games, threatening wins, actually winning, at the beginning of the season when Lin was actually able to orchestrate their offense, and now that's he's back, and their young team has been able to develop some, they're, imo, analogous to the January Sixers - teams shouldn't sleep on them and expect an easy win.
Start the season over, and without the Lin injury they're comfortable above the Kings, Lakers, and Magic win totals by the end of the season

Btw have the Pelicans won a game since acquiring Boogie?
They won a game when he was suspended and they beat the Lakers. From what I've seen the team is absolute trash.
It's not entirely fair to blame Boogie. Besides him, AD, and Jrue, they've got absolutely zero NBA players.
And for the record, I'm not saying you're blaming Boogie. I'm agreeing with you. The team is liquid garbage.
I want to watch this game, but I absolutely hate Reggie Miller.
Besides the obvious roster issues I think it's a mistake to build a team around two high usage bigs.

Their o rating with the 2 on the floor is beyond horrific.
They beat the lakers I think with boogie on the floor... or maybe the suns. They won another game when he was suspended as well.

Lakers have about 18 games left or something. Yeah, I think we can lost most of them. I would rather finish with 25 wins and be it second place than win 30 and lose our pick much easier.

D'Lo can look so good sometimes.
Also Luke Walton mentioned it during the BS podcast but considering how frail he looks Ingram's ability to finish strong is impressive.

It was a good listen. Luke seems like a smart dude, which coming from Byron is refreshing as fuck.
Really like how Clarkson has been playing since the Lou trade. I kinda feel like he was complacent when he played with Lou.

If Magic came a year early, would he have fired Byron Scott?
I honestly don't think so...

He hired Rob Pelinka rather than some unqualified ex-player or also-ran retread GM, so I think there is a possibility. He probably would have cleaned house regardless.

Well the tank failed, but the young guys looked reeeeeal nice.

Abysmal defense
Joe Johnson is not a power forward. So sure Harden can "guard" the "power forward" position when the opposing teams' 6'10" power forwards are not in the lineup.

Whew. Covington and Saric have been nice waiver wire pickups for me in fantasy.

That was our first win in a month so I think you're exaggerating a bit.
