    Wiz and Raps came through. Need Spurs and Blazers to do the same to cap off this night

    Wait, you want the Spurs to beat the Nuggets? You're more worried about getting caught from behind than trying to catch those ahead? We're only 3 games behind the Spurs in the loss column.

    Cavs look like they have zero interest in playing defense.

    The Cavs are legitimately bad. This is more than just some mid season lull. They look so unorganized.

    SAC beat NOP. A win tonight gives the Blazers sole possession of 6th in the West.

    Good point. I wanted more separation. Totally spaced on the Spurs dropping possibility

    Minny will have played four more games than us. Seems unusual to have that big a difference

    Just got home from Knicks game. Love breaks hand, Harden scores 60, holy crap! So now that Drummond replaces Wall in All Star game, who replaces Love? Lou Williams? Or must it be a guy from the East? Whiteside? Dragic?

    CLE getting run by the half of DET that didn't get traded for a superstar, or the superstar.

    Only a half game up on Miami for the 4 seed, and they host the Heat tomorrow. If they drop that one and the Pacers beat Memphis, the Cavs will only be one game up on Indy for the 7 seed in the East.

    Cavs need to trade for DJ. They need rim protection badly. Can't give up that many points in the paint to anyone and expect to win.

    That’s just insane. Is Tye Lue really that bad or is chemistry really that important?

    LeBron just needs to be motivated.

    Ty Lue is bad coach. Really bad. But he's there because of LeBron so it's his fault.

    I knew we should have drafted Harden instead of Meyers.

    Did they play a b2b during our longish break between games?

    Cleveland-Miami game should be great tomorrow. If Miami wins, they move into 3rd spot ahead of Cleveland.
