Lakers might as well sign this guy out of the stands, he probably shoots better then their wings too 🤷🏾‍♂️

Shame on Nico Harrison.

@ash4nd1021 the marathon continues 🏁

@ash4nd1021 🔥

You’ve inspired me to make this a video lol, spin back in a few weeks

people always mention unbeatable records, 4-point plays should be on that list

James Harden is insane dawg. Nobody ever gets corner isos called for them to shoot stepback 3s. That’s his 2nd 4-point play of the quarter, most aggressive he’s been in a quarter as a Cavalier.

@skcash_ yea i never bought in on this group, too many flawed players for my liking don’t think the roster is as complimentary as people were making it out to be either

@nmzhoops After the trade deadline there gm said this is not our year. That should have told there fan base the gm basically said this is a gap year.

10x, but most of this app wasn’t there for that. I remember that ‘09 WCSF vs LA like it was yesterday. Ron talking mess, Chuck Hayes at the 5, Aaron Brooks magic, & the ESPN broadcast having no clue how Houston’s role players forced a Game 7 without TMac & Yao.

James Harden postseason isolation scoring

@pl_pridge TB will play, I think R1 he’ll get some burn & foul trouble or certain matchups might require them to stay big He’s been around tho, I think he’ll be fine as a stay ready guy

@nmzhoops I don't think TB is an easy trim being he played in the rotation in the finals with the Pacers. It's CP and Wade for me.

I don’t think the Cavs should phase out Jaylon Tyson. In fact I’d prioritize him over some of the others bc postseason basketball is different. The stars will receive significant defensive attention & sets will be scouted, Tyson is most equipped to improvise & rescue plays.

James Harden is averaging 24-5-8 this season 20-5-8 on 61 eFG%(!!!) with the Cleveland Cavaliers Team is 11-4 with him Harden can scale down into Point God 2.0 seamlessly Gonna be funny seeing a bunch of Steve Nash and Chris Paul fans leave him off All-NBA again (I love all 3 players, however…) Just crazy a guy has averaged 21-6-9 & 2 Stocks on 60 TS% for 4 years on a team that made the playoffs every year (3 Different Teams!) and will only probably have 1 all-star game and 1 All-NBA appearance to show for it Via Basketball Reference

@RobCStone 100% agree on the last sentence, ive been saying that for months Lakers are flawed but they can win a round and give someone a decent battle in R2 with their firepower

@nmzhoops They threw the ball away 3 straight times and gave up 2 oops back to back. Luka’s that dude but the Lakers are too deficient defensively to be legitimate contenders. They have fatal flaws. The rocket are just not a serious contender either.

What a 4th quarter from Luka Doncic, truly a masterclass. The Rockets had no answers for the man, that was greatness personified. Big time statement win when you beat a conference foe back-to-back times in their own building.

I don’t envy the players who get the Luka Doncic assignment. Doesn’t look like much but he effortlessly shedded Amen & then drilled a 3 in his grill. Rockets need a response out of this timeout.

Tari Eason needs to spray that ball back out, now is not the time to shoot a turnaround contested 2. Especially not in crunch time when you’re 4 for 12.

Stop rewarding those Marcus Smart flops. Imagine a key player picking up a quick 2 or their 5th in a pivotal game because of that, no reason to disadvantage teams on obvious gimmicks. I’d be hot off of losing the last possession to a quarter & them getting a chance to tie.

@realcavsfans only because of his injury, fully healthy i’d slot him above merrill. yea i might have to bump tyson down a notch, probably just me concerned with him getting cut out completely probably more like… Strus Merrill Tyson/Keon

@nmzhoops Surprised you're that low on Strus and Keon. Strus is the perfect blend of offense, defense, movement shooting, rebounding and off-ball playmaking within the starting lineup if he can get ramped up.

How do you rank minutes in terms of priority after the core? Strus, Schroder, Ellis, Wade, Tyson, Merrill, Bryant. Go.

@JasonHirsch16 he’s being compared to role players, & i’d argue he’s spent a lot of time playing out of position due to injuries if the team is at full strength, he’ll find himself in better situations has limits on D but the shooting/rolling/touch combination compliment the core nicely

@nmzhoops he's just not that good of a player. He's simply a role player

@sevnohtwo that’s fair but i’d keep things open right now, anyone can go down at any moment i think he benefits more from getting reps than being relegated to a stay ready guy (vets are typically better at this too) still fluid tho, maybe i’m off and it does make sense to sit him

@nmzhoops he's only in year 2. he had no playoff PT last year. cavs want to make a push..he isn't ready yet

INBOX: Washington Governor Bob Ferguson announces he will be meeting again with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver on Monday.

@pl_pridge if JA is 100% healthy & ready to go, TB is the 1st easy trim. Out of the perimeter guys it’s tough, situation is fluid to me. I’d lean DS as of now, he’s the worst shot-maker, smaller, & I think Keon adds similar defensive value. If JH/Don see a minutes bump, DS is out imo.

@nmzhoops Who would you Phase out besides Craig Porter Jr?
