If you call timeout in your own end, why do you get to inbound it at the other end?

That said: Cavs, bitch.

Just a rule... I think specifically created to give teams opportunities for last second buzzer beaters such as LeBron's.

I have nothing against the Raptors but man was that an enjoyable game to watch.

If LeBron would go to the basket every time he had the ball he would score or get fouled 80% of the time. I think he just shoots jump shots when he gets bored, or the shot clock is running down. I know the numbers show he shot badly, but I swear he made every shot where I yelled at the tv, "NO WHAT A HORRIBLE loving SHOT!" and I did that alot.

Then I would talk to/berate myself during commercials because who the hell am I to try to tell The GOAT how to play basketball through a tv while 500 miles away.

Then I post about it on the internet.

Then I google "signs of dementia".

This is the proper take.

Probably is the safest take to take, but the Raps looked pretty drat shook at the end to me. Once the Cavs got it under five, it really felt to me like the Raps didnt have a chance. It was just the vibe in the whole place seemed to say "oh no it's happening".

I thought the Raps were kind of lucky it went to OT. Korver and JR hit 3s and the place went quiet. Raps showed some heart when Derozen hits a cold blooded top of the key jumper and Lowery makes some crazy and one layup.

Game one left me thinking the Cavs will win any and all close games in the series. So Cavs in 6, winning 4 games by <5pts. Toronto wins 2 game by >10... because the Raps are actually good and the Cavs "on paper" team will actually show up at least once this series.

Drake: Pros & Cons

Cons: Talks trash to NBA players that could literally murder him in 30 secs. while surrounded by bodyguards. His music mostly stinks I think.

Pros: I thought he was pretty funny on SNL and the ESPYs a few years ago. And although I'm far from being down with all the pop gossip these days I hear he may have had sex with Rhianna and/or Nicki Minaj.

I think its pretty clear the pros win out here and he is worthy of our respect.

I watched both games at bars with friends who are Cavs fans, and both times the bar was full of Cavs fans. After the first game there was tons of poo poo talking and good natured ribbing. After the second game all the ribbing stopped, it was obvious they felt bad for me, and I had some random guy with a LeBron shirt buy me a shot.

I've always been of the opinion that players win or lose blowouts and coaches win or lose close games.

What's wrong with the Cavs draft kid? The last 2 times I just thought he was a goofy kid. Now he's an adult and it's obviously more than that.

EDIT: I have a bad habit of asking things here that I should just google first. "Nick was born with a rare disease called neurofibromatosis, which is a nerve disorder that causes tumors to randomly grow anywhere on the body. He's battled chemotherapy, and he's lost vision in one eye. "

EDIT2: Also from the article I found the above info in... "And that's cockamamie because even with Irving and Thompson and Waiters, the Cavaliers still suck, and the only thing that would give them a shot at not sucking and making the playoffs is grabbing Nerlens Noel with this 2013 first overall pick that they don't even have yet, and make a late run when Noel's ACL heals up."

All remaining teams suck, because blowouts are boring basketball. In the case of the LeBrons, the Celtics, and the Rockets this is mostly because they have played poorly, but the GSW just suck the most because they played too good and created the biggest blowout and therefore the most boring game.

Why does JR Smith play so much when he is missing shots? All he gives you at this point is 3 pt shooting right? So I think I would still start him but if he went 0-3 to start, he'd never see the floor again that game.

He's a pretty good defender and can cut to the basket. He's been pretty bad in the playoffs but when he's playing well he's a pretty useful player in general.

Aren't Nance and Clarkson both better or equal to JR when he isn't hitting shots?

you can't just 1:1 give all his minutes to korver, if jr missing 3 shots for some reason means he is never allowed to play again, you have to sub in someone else. the guys behind jr are pretty dire. unless you are like, super high on jose ballderon i guess. an acceptable take


e: jordan clarkson has probably been the worst cav all playoffs. hes been an absurdly bad shooter on top of just ruining possessions in a way jr never has.

I wasn't saying give his minutes to Korver at all... wasn't even thinking that. I was just thinking JR has been very bad and there has to be someone on the bench that could give more, if not offensively, then defensively, rebounding something.

At a glance Clarkson's numbers dont look worse then JR's. Someone needs to look up those fancy plus minus stats etc.

Anyway, maybe I like Clarkson maybe a little bit better because he is active. When JR is on the court I only notice him when he is missing shots.

Dumb question that I'm pretty sure I know the answer to, but I just want to be sure.

What is the rule for calling timeouts? I'm guessing in the NBA only the person with the ball can call timeout.

In college anyone on the floor and even the coach can call timeout as long as their team has possession right?

That second free throw seemed like the perfect time for Ty Lou to say "hey ref if we get this rebound I want a timeout"... if that was legal.

Also the true goat in that situation is Hill. Make your free throws, pal.

No. Hill didn't intentional miss the free throw thinking they were down 2, and needed the rebound and put back. He just missed a shot that could have given them the lead.
