Indiana was 16-18 at this point last year and ended up going to game 7 of the finals. Lots of basketball left.

The wheels are coming off of the wagon in OKC. Blown out by the Hornets tonight.

The Cavs do not worry me much. Mitchell is a star that doesn't make others better. Garland is not a great second option, if he can even stay healthy. Love Mobley, but they really lack the toughness you need in the playoffs. They will struggle just like they did last year in the playoffs, IMO. I'm not trading away 5 firsts, but I am looking to make a serious move. Harris, Holland, 27 and 29 1st round pick with a pick swap in 28 for Trey Murphy and Jose Alvarado. I have made my Murphy case enough. Alvarado is a good backup PG option. Small, but you can accept that more for a backup. Average shooter from 3PT which is fine, decent ball handler, plays above average defense. He fits the culture. He goes 100% at all times, really throws his body around for a little guy. If that fails, I go after MPJ. After that, I don't know. Maybe some smaller moves to consolidate the roster a bit. You won't go 10-11 deep in the playoffs, so trade some of that back end depth to try and improve the 7,8,9 spot if possible. More two-way players, fewer specialists.

Cody Campbell reportedly paid $5 million to land Sorsby out of the portal. He has one year of eligibility remaining.

Efficiancy was the #1 thing I wanted to see Cade improve on this year. After a rough start, he is up to 57.3%. Still needs work but it will take a bit to recover from the start of the year. For the 3 months, he has gone up each month. 50.2% 57.8% 59.6% Not sure if I agree about the conference finals, though. I think with as bad as the conference is, it's finals or bust. The Knicks will get worse in the playoffs because they employ Mike Brown. He's fine in the regular season, but when it counts, he struggles when LeBron isn't there to drag him to the finals. Boston just might be the 2nd best team in the east, especially if they can get Tatum back at the end of the year. I also fear well coached teams in the playoffs (See Indiana last year) and Mazulla is a good coach.

Good FT shooting by Jenkins down the stretch. I think he was 4-4 from the line in the last 20 seconds. They won, so I won't harp on it. But JB took Thompson out towards the end of the game and Cleveland immediately went on a 10-0 run. I don't get his rotations sometimes.

It doesn't get any better than that.

Ouch. Bad foul by Stew
-
Stew just locked down Mitchell and blocked his weak shot attempt.
-
I wonder which organization Donovan Mitchell will disappoint next.
-
Last game, Greg said he was on vacation. I'm guessing for the holidays. They had 6 games out of 7 that were on the road, he probably didn't want to travel. I bet he is back tomorrow against the Knicks at home.

We need to get the Pistons over to Cass Tech for a geometry class. The four off ball guys just stand there. Move, create better passing angles to get the ball. Is Phil Jackson still alive?

I wonder how long it would take to rebuild in the infrastructure in Venezuela. You can't just turn a spigot on and the oil flows. It could take years and billions of dollars.

Is Mazzulla the early leader for COY?

Not sure. Not a big box score metric guy, so I don't really know how VORP works. He was at 2.7 last year so you are probably correct.
