That was a 65-win, #1 seed, Championship-Caliber response from Houston following a typically back-breaking run from Golden in the 3rd. Wow! Really impressive heart shown there

This is really really good. A great breakdown and explains a great deal of why "The Cavs will flip the switch in the playoffs" is a perfectly legitimate take. Typically, his "best" is better than the rest, and intentionally, metered for much of the season.

Having seen LeBron respond similarly to T Lue challenging him at halftime of other playoff games, knew he would come out and dictate terms tonight. But, 46 and 12? Come on. Very few have ever had his feel for the magnitude of a moment.

Forget political affiliation. Think solely of process. If you could mandate a full FBI investigation into anything and everything involving a LIFETIME appointment to THE SUPREME COURT, why would you not do so? In Sonoma, you endure a public hearing just to build on your own land.

Melo says he’s been defensive rebounding more because he doesn’t wanna get embarrassed in film: “I just don’t like to watch film the next day. My teammates are like, ‘Melo, c’mon. You gotta get that defensive rebound’ or ‘You had two rebounds, three rebounds. Just not acceptable”

Watching GS dominate down the stretch, worth mentioning that the 4-man line-up of Durant, Green, Iggy & Klay had NRTG of 15.8 in 192 regular-season minutes. They were +39.8 in G1. And +25.0 in 83 minutes last post season. No Curry, no real drama.

I’m guessing if any of said generation can shoot 43.9% from 25-39’, their coaches will similarly accept -ur, um- encourage their shot selection.

Alec Burks can be aggregated by deadline as well. His expiring number coupled with the team-friendly structure of the JR deal should place Koby Altman, Mike Gansey and team squarely atop the epicenter of trade action heading towards February 7th.

Kevin O'Connor

Expect the Cavaliers to try to move on next from JR Smith. I heard this week they received some interest for Smith from the Rockets and Pelicans—both teams need depth at the wing position. Smith's 2019-20 salary is guaranteed for only $3.9M, so it has some value as a trade chip.

To be clear, the line is not mine. It comes from someone via twitter, which is why I said "right?" at the end. My point was and is that the @Browns have perhaps the brightest future in the NFL in terms of assets, youth & now a franchise QB. Dorsey using Sashi's picks made it work
