The Official 2024/25 NBA Week 5 Thread - Who are these Cavs?

[Son of Skeletor]

Few thoughts

- this is a pretty good win for the Nugs, all things considered

- Cavs may have lost the streak, but still look legit

- Paolo's injury may end up being a blessing in disguise in the long run for the Magic

- have held off making any judgements on Philly, but that was a bad, bad loss yesterday

- half joking, but maybe the Raps should consider playing through Poeltl

- lol Pels

Absolutely. Made a boring WfH day quite enjoyable

Same on Kayo and youtube. Sometimes i hover the mouse over the play button and shut my eyes upon clicking it, then move the mouse away so as not to see any progress bar.



Cavs Celtics today. Massive game.

The annoying thing is that it wasn't a problem a few seasons back. They did it by quarter, and you only saw the OT once you'd watched the 4th quarter. But they don't do it anymore. So dumb.

 

[fidstar]

We're:

0-1 against the Cavs
0-2 against the LAC when the LAC are on the back end of a B2b without their best player
10-0 against everyone else, including Boston and OKC away.

Makes sense...

Dalton Knecht> Steph Curry

I don’t get how this Halliburton thing isn’t a bigger story… this is now the better part of a year of being borderline dog shit

 

[srobbo]

lol how were Philly $1.50 to win this game? They’d struggle to beat a college team let alone an NBA side

 

[DT_35]

Maxey 1/9

If you recognise any of these players, congrats - you're probably doing better than 75% of Pels fans.

Good win against an average Bulls. AJ Green showed that Pat Con is finished, Lopez still lively when he is actually involved on offense with PNR's, screens & handoffs.

If there is ever a world in which we get Middleton back, we could still make something of this season.

His time in the sun was rather brief.

Perhaps teams put more emphasis on locking him down since he became a better scoring threat and he has not adjusted. Or maybe Siakam is now getting the prime looks, his numbers are quite good.

But even if that’s the case the drop off is just so so so crazy. His stat line tonight would make Ben Simmons look elite again.

5 minutes into the 2nd and Kerr has already used a rotation of 12 players.

What's Klay up to?

Haliburton really fleeced the Pacers. Dude is trash.

CJ McCollum, Theiss, Murphy the 3rd DNP.

They couldve drafted Maxey, Josh Green, or Des Bane.

 

[peternorth]

Speaking of desmond bane


Russ received a tech for staring. Nothing for Des and Americas favourite pastime (shooting/school shooting).

Mods, please card for cheating.

No need, Antonio Reeves will save us.

Also I just realised that Philly is the Nawlins of the East, or vice versa. Both of us fill the casualty wards annually, and neither of us can get past the second round.

That entire team earns a combined 10.5 mill a year

Standard.

GoEaglesGoSGIO You still think that Young is going to be the next Curry?
