NBA trying to hand feed Cavs to becoming a legitimate contender again. This is their secret plan to get Lebron to rejoin the CAVS after his stint with the heat, thus creating a cinderella story comparable to MJ's return to BBall after baseball.

Will the Cavs actually be in the playoffs next year? Or a fourth #1 pick?

MCW is young but has shown something. No doubt he struggled a lot this year but there's something to work with. They'll still be terrible next year but the pieces are coming together.

They've wiffed more than that. Bennett because they have Waiters instead of Oladipo? Stuff like that, it's not necessarily just the number ones, either. Waiters and Thompson in the top 4?


So them getting a high pick and then making a bad pick is equivalent to not having a pick at all.

I'm confused with what you're saying.

I'm frustrated because I like watching good basketball, and to see players who are fairly highly regarded to to a team which has a horrible reputation of development makes me sad as it depresses the overall product.

Are we sure MCW is any good? Because I don't think he's good.


If you think the Cavaliers do a bad job at player development, that's one thing, but the insults in the last few pages have been directed at them selecting poorly.

We dropped one spot, we had a 30 percent chance of landing at 7 with only like an 8 percent difference between 6 and 7.

Can't really call falling where the odds say you should being "shafted."

Well 8th was 4% and they had a 65% chance of doing better. Anyway I was more referring to how they had such a shitty season, tanked then don't get the pick they were hoping for. Dropping one spot also hurts with how good the first 5 or so picks could be.

I think they have a recent history of making puzzling personnel decisions, including drafting based on position (which I think is almost always a horrible idea) and trading for rentals in a year in which they were going to win nothing (Deng and Hawes). I'm just frustrated that they have another bite at that apple.

Well you can thank Utah for that. We somehow managed to beat them twice at the end of the season to secure our SECOND worst record in the west.

Meanwhile on the actual basketball court, Indiana offense looking unhindered in this 1st quarter.

I remember posting after the matchup was set that I think Indiana will really compete in this series because they can finally put bullshit aside and say to themselves "we're where we wanted to be all along, hosting the first 2 games in the ECF against Miami." There was a chance game 1 was the 'easy to get up for' game, but they' starting strong again here. Miami is in for an absolute fucking dogfight IMO, and that's if they play reasonably well.

Mallory Edens to me is cute. Fine as fuck, but not hot. Kings daughter is more what I consider hot. They are two different but equal kinds of attractiveness.

At some point I'll have to figure out a way to describe exactly the difference between the two that makes sense to anyone but me, but today is not that day.

And I think some of their picks have been questionable, particularly Bennett. Even Waiters was an arguably bad pick, there are better players below him.

Probably in tears. Considering that they're going to (likely) be majorly improved next year, it's really hard for them.

Gilbert must have some dirt on the NBA he's threatened to go public with. That or the NBA really thinks Lebron is considering going back to Cleveland.

i think they should have a rule where you cant pick in top5 for x years after you've picked 1st over all. 3 1st picks in 4 years is pretty fucking dumb.

What is the difference between cute, "fine as fuck," and hot?
