    Good player + Shit Player for Good Player + Potential Top Five Pick? Gilbert isn't giving up that pick if covered him honey and threw him into a family of starving Kodiak bears. Not with Lebron half way out the door.

    That locker room deserves it's own reality show. They should call it "Drama Queens and Imbeciles".

    They call a team meeting and immediately start pointing fingers at the guy who played the first three minutes of a 148-point beat down. WTF??? How about a little accountability from the guys who were actually on the floor giving up 148 points and 16 offensive rebounds in a regulation game? Really??? Those morons thought MORE Kevin Love is the answer to their defensive woes?

    If you're going to bash a teammate for his poor defense, at least be consistent. If Love is the root of their defensive struggles, why didn't the guys doing the bitching step up and show him how it's done? Nope, instead, they roll over, give up 148 points and then immediately point the finger at him? Oh, the irony. Hey guys, try looking in the mirror sometime. You got your collective asses handed to you, and it wasn't Love's fault.

    I also find it deliciously ironic that Cleveland's biggest problem is the lack of rim protection. The only reason CLE has a championship was after Bogut went down, GSW had no rim protection, which turned the final three games of that series into a lay-up drill for LeBron & Co. Well, that was an injury. CLE's problem is much bigger. They don't have a single rim protector on their roster. The entire season has been a lay-up drill for their opponents. Adding Isaiah Thomas to the roster hasn't helped.

    But, it's cool that they have resorted to infighting and finger pointing. Let them keep thinking that will solve their problems.

    How self-deprecating of you...

    BNM

    P.S. Deprecation has nothing to do with feces. That's defecation.

    Looks like Kareem did it since Wilt.
    http://www.nba.com/article/2018/01/...-cousins-joins-elite-company-historic-night#/

    Still elite company. However, it did go into two overtimes (but some of the people on the list went to 1 overtime so...)

    I think Oscar Robinson (pound for pound) should be looked at as the best basketball player ever overall.

    Ah--BBRef doesn't have complete game log data for games in the 70's, so Kareem's game didn't show up in the query.

    31 blocks? Holy criminy! Even in college that is a sick number. I actually don't even believe it. Division 1 record is 17 but Bol played in Division 2.

    17 is the record in the NBA and Manute has had 15 in the big leagues twice.

    It's possible that LBJ is just paving the road to his exit.... so he doesn't look so bad leaving again.

    In the OKC game that spurred the team meeting and subsequent finger pointing, he played like he's already gone. 18 points, 3 rebounds and -33 in 38 minutes. He was outplayed by all three of Westbrook, George and Anthony. Hell, he got outplayed by Steven Adams.

    On the other hand, why was he still even in the game with 7 minutes left and his team down by 29? Maybe putting up a facade that he still cares?
