2017-18 NBA Season

[celticinorlando]

33 points for OKC with over 4 minutes left in the first. Cleveland's D is awful.

They are old and a team full of poor defenders to begin with

[RJ87]

It's like the rim is Russell's mortal enemy. I love it.

[jpotter33]

Having IT defensively, players like Westbrook are impossible to guard. There's just no stopping him from getting where he wants to go. Remember how much trouble we had stopping Westbrook the last few years with IT here?

[celticinorlando]

This is how bad it is for the Cavs. James is running with the second team

[celticinorlando]

43 points in ine quarter

Cavs cannot defend and are too old to just try to outscore anyone

[CelticsElite]

Was that d Wade who got the ball stripped from and Westbrook scored from the stolen ball? Man the Cavs look bad

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

I have never seen a team with that many great players who a coach [dang] near refuses to do early subs and make sure there is always one on the floor. If your bench is as bad as as OKC's, why keep subbing in an entire bench unit at any point? I swear that's garbage coaching and yet he keeps doing it! 3 players as good as that? one should always be feasting on bench units!!! Why Billy why? Your bench scores 11 a game or something outlandish like that, one of PG/Melo could get that alone in 5 minutes with the bench!!

[celticinorlando]

Derrick Rose getting minutes just shows how desperate the Cavs are.

[celticinorlando]

Watching IT play these days is just like watching a car crash. Guy is down right slow and gets worked by anyone he guards

[celticsclay]

Anyone that thinks the cavs will just roll through the east needs to watch the first half of this game. Lie should be fired tomorrow

[nickagneta]

76 points in a half. Oh My God the Cavs defense is terrible. OKC is a good defensive team. If they had played their usual good defense they would have been up 25-30 points right now.

I was wondering about this, too. I wonder if this is a college coach thing, because Brad seems to struggle with this at times, too.

Refs have also given the Cavs a smattering of calls.

[celticinorlando]

Toronto is the biggest threat in the East.

Also OKC has missed 7 FTs.
