Optimistic But I Got Hands Tho


He's welcome back in my book.

Joe Harris is going to be fighting to stay on that roster next year. Unless Mike Miller retires.

It's easy to see why, your team basically shoots 50% from the field and 37% from 3, if they're winning the offensive boards that means they're probably going to score on that next possession while not giving their opponent another chance to score.

It's one of the things that I thought they would suffer with when Kevin went down. TT historically isn't a great defensive rebounder but JR, Iman, and LeBron are pretty good for their positions.

Cavs reporter said this. From RCF.com
Danilo Gallinari would be a great pick up, I doubt the Nuggets give him away for free. His contract is very reasonable considering how good and young he is. Wilson Chandler would probably be a more realistic option

JR has been attacking the glass hard, he almost got some key offensive rebounds last night. Love his effort, he's doing all the right things.

Kyrie might play tonight :francis:

nikkas in the locker room all banged up looking at him and his team full of doctors/knee specialists/herb genies/massage therapists like :mjpls:

Kyrie has to learn to play through pain. He's young so I give him a pass. He can learn from it.

Im convinced the sole reason LBJ stayed in game 3 after he was crampin up was cuz he looked at Kyrie on the bench and was like "i need to teach this young blood a few things about playin with pain"

Yeah that's what being on a bad team for 4 years will do to you. It's what "tanking" does to the mind.

I said this when the injury initially occurred that he's never had to do this before (play through pain). He would sit out during most minor injuries during the regular seasons because the team wasn't playing for anything.

Kyrie has too much pride and doesn't like being embarrassed. Especially on a national stage. If he can't be around 90-100 percent in movement he's probably worrying about how he looks hobbled and not the fact that he gives his team a better chance of winning by just being there.

He's got to learn to get over that.

Its no surprise that he had his best game after getting that MRI last series. His mind was right.

I think Irving is what you see in the NFL with rookies. Dudes just don't know how to play injuries because they never had to before. I don't think Irving is worried about how he looks. He just doesn't know how to cope with pain and perform. This is a learned thing when you become a pro. You must be able to focus and block out the pain and then perform at a high level. On top of that Irving is injury prone and there is no other way to say it. So he needs to hurry up and learn how to play with pain.
