How about the Cavs beating the Rockets in OT without Mobley and Garland? Who the hell is Sam Merrill?

I should be able to stay awake for entire game but doubt I’ll be posting much.

Sorry, Z-Man, I spoke too soon. Laptop’s not letting me on.

Enjoy the game…

Harden with 35 via 12-16. Seems like he might be rounding into form.

I’ll be one of the few watching this game due to my current time zone (Maui), so I’ll be hootin’ and hollerin’ into the void here, but Lady Raven booked dinner in the middle, so likely I’ll go silent after halftime.

Clippers 151 Pacers 127

And we think we have defensive issues…

Noble, apologies for the misattribution, and your wish is my command, courtesy of Hollinger:

That said, the path of least resistance remains waiving Kenneth Lofton Jr., which the Memphis Commercial Appeal reported as the expected path this weekend. Lofton showed up overweight and has been ineffective in his rare appearances. Indeed, one of the enduring questions in what increasingly looks like a lost Memphis season is why the Grizzlies didn’t use their nontaxpayer midlevel exception on a big man and cut Lofton this summer.

Sorry for the typo, I meant OBPM…with that correction the comment stands.

RJ’s BPM is not 0.5, it’s -1.7 which is only better than Grimes’ out of players getting regular playing time. His OBPM is 0.5 which puts him between McBride and Mitchell Robinson.

The 3 losses that he missed coincided with Randle’s horrific start to the season; I’d argue that those losses had more to do with Randle playing horrible than whether RJ played or not.

“Like, I know I’m wrong and just want to see that very large fellow play for us, but you can kind of tell yourself a story about how 10-12 minute disorienting backup PF is his ideal (and probably only) NBA role. That’s pretty much the one bench role we have left to offer.”

Any change from the DaQuan Jeffries Experience is cool by me. Fat guys who can ball have always intrigued me! I remember playing in the Asphalt Green league back in the 1990’s against a Rucker-level team that had an older guy that was like 6’5″ 400 lbs who singlehandedly kicked our butts, all while laughing and talking to guys on the bench. We were like gnats circling around him trying to steal the ball but he just walked the ball up court dribbling through his legs and crossing over, drilling threes, midranges and layups as if we weren’t even there.
