    Cavs are going to be pretty fun to watch. Those outlets passes from Love to LeBron and Kyrie are going to prove to be lethal

    Why are our only outlet-passing bigs guys who aren't good enough to be rotation players?

    I was watching and watching last night waiting for Meyers or TRob to get off the bench and remembered that Meyers was out due to illness. But it didn't stop me from thinking that it wouldn't surprise that neither of those two would be rotational players. But more third stringers.

    Yup - those are the only two guys who will even attempt an outlet pass. Actually, Kaman probably will - he understands the finer points of the game. But a HUGE reason we don't fast break is because LMA/Lopez hold the ball after grabbing the rebound and then shuffle it to Nic/Lillard - the whole rebound-and-move-upcourt process takes 4-8 seconds.

    Is it wrong for me to root for the Knicks to win?

    No. GO KNICKS!

    Who are you guys rooting for later tonight? Thunder or Clips? I'm so glad one of them will lose. I'm leaning towards rooting for Clips. I want Thunder to go like 0-15 without Durant.

    Gonna go with rooting for the clips too. OKC are our division rivals. I am on the same page with you. I would love them to go 0-15.

    I think Durant will come out too early and damage something. I actually hope he doesn't do that.

    Seeing some fantastic ball movement from the Knicks--including from Melo and JR. If this keeps up, they might not be terrible.
