So you think the Cavs missing 3 starters are contenders because they are better than Boston?  Who gives a **** what they do on a given night.  That team is a lottery team.  Lottery talent can win against anyone on a given night.  
 

The Raptors were near the top of fthe lottery and beat the greatest team in NBA history over Jordan’s Bulls.  It happens.  Nothing is guaranteed in the NBA but if you are playing a stretch of lottery talent opponents that is not a useful measuring stick.  

don’t disagree about learning to win more consistently even against bad teams but we have been playing bad and broken teams and will do so again against the Grizzlies.  Looking at how our metrics compare in those games against full season metrics for other teams is both too small a sample and apples to oranges.  That has been my point.

When you play a weak sauce opponent you still need to do what is necessary to win and even really good teams can stop doing that and then lose when a team gots scorching hot from 3pt range.  We would have lost if the Cavs had been that hot too.  Isn’t like we shut down them getting good looks but that weak sauce broken team isn’t good enough to hit them consistently.  
 

My point is not that these wins aren’t good (ignoring draft position) but that they don’t give you a lot of information from which you can draw meaningful conclusions about improvements or degradation of team play when the competition is that lowly.

No I just said they beat Boston. You can't downgrade it by just who cares. We all know that regular season doesn't matter in general. But winning is fun and losing sucks

They also had Evan Mobley available for the Celtics game.

They were down big when Mobley was in the game. They crushed them after Mobley left the game

The Cavs were missing 3 of their 5 starters, including their best players.  The Hawks were favored by 2.5 points by Vegas, and we aren't a very good team.  They are a good team that was devastated by injuries and a shell of themselves against us.  Playing a team when their best players and 3 of 5 starters are injured is weak sauce.  If that is your measuring stick, you aren't getting back meaningful measurements.

The numbers are just interesting trivia unless they project forward meaningfully.  I was commenting on why I don't think they are a big enough sample size yet to project forward.  No issue with you sharing the numbers.

That "weak" Cavs team just a day before beat  #1 team in the entire nba

It's never easy to win in nba no matter who you play. We saw that in Brooklyn

I wouldn't mind renting ol' half-broke down a** Vucevic. 

And, if things go like I expect for MIN, I could see towns being get-able this offseason. 

Vuc would be 100x better than Cap in this system if we could get him

Trae is our only Max player

Didn't Murray get veteran max extension?

Some haters here see every shot that Bogi misses but they don't comment on shit game that max player had. 7 for 21 and 1 for 7, turning the ball over and missing every shot in crunch time lol

Jc DJ

I swear to God Murray looks worse on D than Trae most of the time lol

Saddiq would rather turn the ball over than pass it lol

Man what TF is doing JC

Bruno's totally lost out there. What a negative asset

Bogi missing by a good 6in margin lol. I have not seen a shooter missing that badly a few shots in a row

I get that CC is washed and worth nothing but we have some really dumb players on the team that constantly trying to feed the hopeless loser. He already missed 4 bunnies JC

Man, it's going to be difficult to win tonight. I didn’t expect them to lose both games to Brooklyn. I hope they show some pride and play team basketball. Win tonight would erase at least one loss against Brooklyn. 

Let's go Hawks!

Bogi with 2 consecutive TO's jc. This game seems to be over. Now at least we can see that Trae is 5x better player than DJM. It was a huge mistake to bring him here at that cost

I think Jalen hit the wall hard.

Dre in 19 minutes 0 rebounds, assists, steals or blocks, high -11. Not good, despite solid shooting

Anybody else tired of Bogdonvic?

It was a very annoying streach

What a dumb play by Saddiq  that almost costed us that wide open 3 by Dre

Man,  Clint is driving me crazy. Protect the freaking ball when you get rebound. 

Passing the ball doesn't exist in Dre's book. Just shoot at any cost lol

Brunoooo. This was probably his best dunk with me watching lol

Saddiq couldn't guard my granny. 

Man, 5 needs immediate upgrade
