The Cavs are clearly better with Garland back. I want to see a few more games but I have a feeling this might be the year they finally break through the East.

Barnes and Champ were better tonight, but I still don't fully trust them. Big win for SA. I can't wait for the Bucks Vs. Rockets Sunday. That should be a great game and I expect a better game from Houston.

The Bucks are 13-1 in NBA Cup games. They generally show for those

Chet’s bodyguard having an unreal game tonight.

Jalen Duren gonna mess around and make the all star team if he keeps pace with his current numbers and the Pistons are at least top
5 in conference… they are currently at #1 in the East.

Cade took a couple years but he has developed into an even better player than I think most expected. All-NBA is an afterthought at this point.

It feels good when patience pays off for a fan base and you come out on the other side of a brutal rebuild in better shape than you could’ve imagined so quickly.

Joker only getting 9 assists and 9 boards. He must have saw his triple double odds for this game and decided to have fun with everyone

Hartenstein can show out from time to time, no doubt about that. Any given night they have someone outside of SGA that can step up and ball out.

Cade looks like the winning version of Booker.

He's very smooth and his game translates to wins and not empty scoring numbers

Ant 37 in 26 minutes.

I wonder which cupcake team he’s suddenly going to be “healthy” for when he returns?

Watched a couple today. Lakers / Hawks game really sloppy tonight. Fox was excellent in his return—Spurs are pretty solid this year.

blackvodka · 11-08-2025, 11:22 PM

As a Cavs fan you have to like how De'Andre played tonight.

Maxey balled out tonight as well.

Yeah the Lakers are vulnerable to athletic wings plus Atlanta made their shots. Deadly combo against that Lakers D. Plus the Lakers were fairly lazy offensively most of the night. On top of that Dyson played very well and Luka never really got going offensively.

For sure—Gueye was surprisingly good. Luka had a good first half, but was smart to sit him when things were getting out of hand in the second half.

If anyone hasn't seen what he did to poor Josh Giddey, they should look it up.

Cavs back to a half game out of 1st in the East, despite all the injury issues so far.

DR Murph · 11-09-2025, 04:09 PM

The overall level of talent/skill in the NBA is at an all-time high. Despite opinions from people that don’t watch, NBA players do play hard and are highly competitive.

Generally the only people who say the NBA sucks or it's a bad product are people who don't watch. It's a great product. You knoww hat a sport that is an awful product? The NFL, they're lucky they have Fantasy Football.

Personally, I love both and haven’t done fantasy football in years—just like watching multiple games on Sunday Ticket. I had gone a couple years without League Pass due to app issues, but it’s great this year and man I’ve been missing out on some great basketball!

I think the only fair criticism is if you go onto league pass and watch a finals game followed by a regular season game, it does seem like slow motion. Even between the same 2 teams. But that’s on the scheduling imo. If teams played twice a week, think we’d see the regular season intensity jump a lot.

Fox was a welcome sight. Mitch tried to sit him to let the regular lineup close, but nuclear Trey made it necessary to bring him in and he clinched the game with a big bucket. Can't wait to see once Kornet and Harper get back.

Should have beaten the Lakers but once they tighten up on the TOs, it's going to take them to the next level. Castle has already looked much better these last two games.

Yeah, it’s going to happen—much like Thursday night football games. The players play hard but just don’t have the same energy.

Yeah they’re fun to watch! Also looking forward to see how Harper develops.

Pistons vs 76ers has been a solid game so far.

a lot.

Huge road win for Detroit. Best record in the east. That dunk Cade threw down was a message

Despite all the injuries

The league is already load managing, nobody that broke as much as a finger nail is playing a back to back.

Plus the East is maybe worse than it was 20 years ago.

It's the Cavs in the East and a bunch of 6 to 8 seed level teams if they were in the West.

ninjacookies · 11-10-2025, 12:27 AM

8 mile was always a Trevor Noah exiling away from being something special.

If you knew, you know.
