Time to laugh again!!! Lebron lost again Grin haha Playoff for them is getting darker! haha It always feels good to see them defeated. Kudos to Thibodeau's squad! Jimmy Buckets, you gave me BTC today. Thank you!
Are you a hater of Lebron that'swhy you are saying that Cheesy?

I'm not a fan of Lebron but I don't think what is happening to the Lakers will last for the whole season. I think there will be an end into this and I believe that Lebron will not let his team not clinch into the playoffs although I don't see his team winning the championship Cheesy.

Warriors casually got to 150 points last night, not that they had a good opponent, but still.

Klay and Curry seem to have decided to exchange records for the most three points made. It was 13, 14 last night... I expect Curry to break it with 15 soon. It's like a joke, so effortless in all they do. The fact that each one of them can have a breakout game at any given moment makes them so tough to beat. It is almost impossible to compete against.

And Boogie hasn't even played yet.  Cheesy
Those hands really makes the difference between their opponents, 14 a new record, we will soon then to see another one coming from this two deadley
shooters, this team still the main one being the favorite for this season, boogie is just enjoying the seen while the rest of the players are really competitive
with each positions, another year for this team but maybe it's too early and yet it's showing the potential for another ring.

Yes harizen.
And it aint just contribution. He made it happen. Imagine a team without a coach. That could have been whack. Grin

Okay. Now its Klay Thompson breaking Steph's record. What is the problem with those hands of the splash brothers.
They might have sold it to the devil. Grin justbkidding.
14 three pointers. Dang! And the game isnt even finished yet.

Firing Lue won't do much for the Cleveland Cavaliers.  It really just comes down to how talented your team is.  I always thought the role of a coach in basketball is really overrated.  I don't think Phil Jackson is a great coach or anything but he always had the best talent on his teams ( MJ, Kobe, Shaq).  It's why he was able to win 11 championship rings.

Yeah, you might have a point. But I guess Lue already saw that his head will roll specially the way they started this season. He should look at the bright side because for sure he can find other jobs in most team, perhaps a assistant coach will be good fit for him.

@Maslate - it was another close lost to the Lakers, I don't know, but I noticed that they're unable to close the show in the last 4-5 minutes. And usually their opponents makes a good run out of the last couple of minutes (maybe lack of defense) that's why its another L for the Lakers.
I am afraid the Lakers will miss the Playoffs now, there are a lot of good teams in the West, some of the non-playoff teams last season are doing
a great start especially the Nuggets. It's a big competition in the West so Lebron needs to bring his best in order for his team to reach the playoffs, which is hard the way they playing now.

Well they can get the 8 spot and still qualify for the playoffs this year. But if you're talking about getting into the Finals then its different because as you have said, a lot of competitive teams in the West and we all know that the defending champions is from the West as well. We have barely like 10 games so its really hard to say which team is doing well or which team will make it to the playoffs or will suffer, just saying.

Lakers, Lakers, Lakers, when will you show up?
Another big loss, lack of defense resulted to a high scoring game, Jimmy showed up like a real star, he deserve a bigger contract IMO.

They changed player like every season while Lebron was there and yet he could still make a chemistry out of them and go to the Finals. Thumbs up to Lue.

People always taught that LeBron is the coach of Cavaliers lol. They didn't see the contributions and effort that Lue gave to the team.

Others might disagree to you especially those "hardcore NBA fan" Smiley . But you know we have the same sentiments a little bit. Yes a respected and good coach is one of they key for a championship team but still the most percentage of it why it became like that is because of the players talent itself.

But on the other hand, those talented players will not fully cooperate to their coaches if they see that their coach can't think of a good strategy or plays. So overall, team talents + good coaching is the key. In case of Cavaliers, their talents are not performing well so the blame will be on coach. Let's see if their future coach will able to extract more of good performance from the current roster.

Bud was amazing at a spurs assistant and he was legit the person people thought would replace pop when he retires but he went to Atlanta which than turned into 60+ win Atlanta hawks thanks to him, now he came to bucks and I can see them actually fighting for a spot at the finals, it won't be easy since it will be Celtics and Toronto most probably but Sixers and bucks are close behind them.

He was considered but unfortunately Pops still wants to continue his coaching profession until now. Smiley

Bucks have been amazing this year. Giannis and Middleton were in the top 10 most minutes played last year whereas they are in the 60th range right now, both players talked about how they prefer the way bud is coaching because they are both unbeaten and also relaxing meanwhile. The system bud put there as a coach has improved that team insanely and even as a not so tough big brook Lopez found himself a good role to fill there.

Another week again have passed. Here are some of the events that catch my attention:

Tyronn Lue fired as Cleveland Cavaliers head coach after a worst start this season - As expected, but the questioned is, does Lue the one to blamed? He wants Cavaliers to remained competitive without LeBron. He's not the only one who have to make adjustments but the whole team. Cavaliers management must not be blinded by the fact their current worst is really playing worst. They literally used to be carried lol. Solution? Trade the entire roster lol.

Jimmy Butler - Looks like the drama will now come to an end as Timberwolves are now almost closing a deal with the Rockets. It's a risky trade based on my view for the Rockets as their future 4 first round pick is really important. They are really eager to gave up on that for Butler. Let's see how it will goes.

That is too exaggerated move from the Cleveland management. It was really shocking.

On the other hand this might be a good thing for Tyron. He dont want to be kept by a shitty management so to hell with them.
He could improve more even if he is already good as a coach.
They changed player like every season while Lebron was there and yet he could still make a chemistry out of them and go to the Finals. Thumbs up to Lue.

Let the kids stay.

Great performance by the Lakers once again, against the strong Denver Nuggets.
Yeah it was as great fight but don't forget that they lost against Spurs yesterday.

Though the scores aren't too far and the lead is only 4 points made by Spurs. First and second quarter was so good and in favor of Lakers but during the 2nd half, the tables turned.

Ball, Kuzma have been donating a lot of help for Lebron.
Stephenson and Mcgee getting serious with their game.

Use them more even if Rondo goes back.
Rotate the players at a higher pace, instead of staying with Rondo at 30 minutes of gameplay.

But Denver though, this guys are crazy serious too.
Teams should be really careful when they go against the Nuggets.

Only after 6 games played this season we already have our first coach firing. Seems like Cavs have just fired Ty Lue, can't say I'm surprised though. There were rumors the last couple of days if they lose to Pacers he might be gone.

Anyway, they should also trade Love and some other bad contracts and get as much draft picks as they can get and proceed with tanking.  Grin
I expected this to happen. The team needs to rebuild and aside from changing the roster, changing the Coach is one thing more that they need to do. Maybe they need to change their roster next year by getting the top spots in the next draft lottery and they will trade Love or other players to acquire some new players.

Right, the draft lottery will be their best options. I think they will just sail this season, maybe trading majority players to set up the their draft lottery next year. They still have some good players to retain but Love will be the viable option for now to be traded and totally rebuild the team for next year.

Yes, I was not surprised at all and it seems Ty Lue know its forthcoming specially when Kyrie and Lebron left the team. Oh well, they have their best times so just like the saying goes, everything good must come to an end.

I'm sure that they're going to rebuild the team in the next couple of years or traded the current rosters. Kevin Love is the only player they have to bait other teams. So let's see how it goes. It will be difficult to duplicate what they have accomplished with Lebron and Kyrie on the team so its another waiting game for all the Cavs fans out there.

The cavaliers needs a complete rebuilding just the like the spurs and they should hire a good coach who's as good as the Celtics coach.
I believe this team has a future, they were get use to individual play because of Lebron so when their best player was gone, you can expect a complete mess.
