Why is the Cavaliers defence so bad currently?  Bottom 10 is inexcusable. I'm sure their offence will figure it out (already top 10).  They just need to add a shooter or two (one that can actually defend somewhat competently).   Would the Cavs benefit going smaller and just hounding everyone...

  Problem relying on a 6'8 guy running screen and rolls and throwing to literally whoever's guy helps off (no matter where they are on the floor) is when they start missing, which is what happened, they can't generate anything else.  Combine that with the best defensive player in the NBA at the...

http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/CLE/2009.html   This team winning 66 games is amazing.  No other word to describe it.  I probably didn't give Mo enough credit in his LBJ days (shot well in the 66 win year), but it always reared it's ugly head in the playoffs that Mo Williams ultimately...

I didn't watch the Smith game but he took 21 shots.  15 (7/15) at the rim, 2 from just within 10 feet (2/2), 2 mid range (0/2) and 2 three (0/2).   Pretty great shot selection in his first game, gotta think the Rockets were happy with that.  They'll give him 20 shots a game if that is where...

  If Knicks came up to Masai and offered Melo for the rights to their pick swap back, Masai would probably think long and hard about that - its not a home run.  There are a ton of players who are better, more well-rounded players than Melo.  Not to mention the guy is 30 and is already showing...

How crazy is it that GSW had a ridiculous start, and essentially banked no games in terms of the 1 seed, or event in terms of home court.  4 games out of being the 5 seed.  The West is actually ridiculous.     Best thing the Spurs could do is finish 6th or 7th so they don't have to play OKC...

http://espn.go.com/nba/player/gamelog/_/id/3468/russell-westbrook   Look at Westbrook's game log.  GSW, POR, but did put up a solid performance vs. Spurs in a win.  He has played 4 games against teams over .500 since he returned, and shot under 40% in two of them.    Don't get me wrong, he is...

Here is what New York has going into the summer:   -Top 5 pick -Top 20 player -Max cap space   New York has the pieces to make some moves as long as they keep losing this year.  They're probably better off long-term to trade Melo and build from the ground up but they don't have their pick (LOL)...

I think Smith to Houston is scary if he buys in.  Wouldn't shock me if he comes off the bench.   I like them going for it.  You have to take the risk and hope that talent wins out.  They need more ammunition.

Wtf.  Cavs have Grizz first rd pick and refuse to trade it?  Get LBJ a 3+D guy at the 2!!

Could the AV injury be a huge blessing in disguise for the Cavaliers?

I just don't get why you draft a guy who doesn't have a position and can't shoot.  This could wind up worse than Kwame because Kwame at least wound up a solid defender.  I hope for the best with Bennett since he's Canadian but he literally sucks.  What is Bennett's best case?  I genuinely don't...

  Wiggins has a chance in this league.  Bennett was drafted over 10 picks too early - not even a matter of hindsight.  Such an indefensible pick.  I was on the McLemore bandwagon.  He's not even good either but at least he can shoot.  Did you ever hear any sort of rationale for the Bennett pick...

Mirotic is a game changer for them.  Pau has been great for them, but it wouldn't shock me if come playoff time they leaned more on Mirotic.   Butler averaging 40 MPG is indefensible. Thibs is an idiot in that way, probably shaved at least 2-3 good years off of Deng.

  The game changed when Niko was on the floor.  Without looking I'm sure he was a huge plus last night.  Having a guy to stretch the D like that for Rose/Butler is huge.  I couldn't believe the long contested 2's Rose was hitting down the stretch.     Best coached team in the East by far - mini...

Can't help but wonder how good Josh Smith the role player can be.  I fear for the spacing issues on Houston with him and Howard out there together.  They could wreak havoc defensively though.  Interesting proposition IMO.  I think it could help them big time, or kill them big time.  Worth the...

I feel that Smith to Houston will either put them over the top or ruin everything.  With no in between 

  You beat the Raps by doing 2 things: playing hard, physical defense.  And 2, I would blitz Lowry off of every single screen and roll/pop.  The only big he trusts off the roll, understandably, is Amir.  A lot of built in excuses for us coming off a back to back vs. Chicago well-rested.  Very...

So crazy.  Wonder how hard they tried to move him.  I'd rather attach a conditional first to him or something to unload him and not pay him.  Dead money will kill you long term.
