Whatever about Cleveland, I am glad to have home court, and I'm pretty glad we don't have to face a team that already comfortably beat us 3 times this season.

Probably also a low key FU to Melo who was Randle before Randle.

Fair

I love Jeremy so much. Always will hold a warm place in my heart for him

Good commentary. On point

They seem even more Jekyl and Hyde than we are (though for now, we seem to have solved that issue). I couldn't believe I was watching the same team last night as in game 6. Game 7 Cavs will give us all we can handle, and maybe more. Game 6 Cavs, we sweep.

Cleveland has all the pieces to contend, that's why they're in the ECF and Detroit is not.

If they are playing well they can beat you numerous ways offensively.

I don't believe they are as resilient as us though.

DM can be inconsistent and Harden is dangerous, but doesn't always make the winning play when the game is on the line in the post-season. If both of them are playing selfless ball and clicking, they can set up their guys well enough to create showdowns in the paint that we will have to stop. This is why they blew out DET last game. They started off on the right foot from the backcourt and got the whole team rolling.

What we will need to prevent that is intense interior defense. While they have shooters, we have to make them beat us from outside. It is proven that if you frustrate Mobley and Allen offensively the Cavs are a very different team.

Our defense has to be superior to theirs. That's it. That's the key to taking the series. Our offense will prevail if our D is better than theirs.

Is there room for me in this love-fest? I always liked Jeremy Lin and never understood the hate he got from the fan base. He's also clearly talented off the court as well. That dude should be apart of some network's half-time show.

I got the impression that this guy isn't a big Julius Randle fan. I could be wrong though; it is just a bunch lol.

The world is full of bigots who pretend the reason they hated Lin was not some kind of prejudice. In addition, many Lin haters in NYC were stupid Melo fans who felt it was necessary to take sides which was very telling. Nobody said you have to destroy Lin because you're a Melo fan, but I saw it happen too many times which made it clear it was some kind of cultish knee-jerk reaction. The way some people treated Lin was disgusting. He brought more joy to this franchise than any other player in 20 years and should be respected for it.

I would look at Dort in free agency if we could afford to sign him

The Minny locker room must have been a nightmare.

Imagine being Randle's teammate and having to be around him during a series where his idea of defensive effort was eating popcorn at half-court waiting for the ball to come back on offense.

It's been said but this dude is an absolute freak. Was reading your message as he hit that deep-3. He just might be the GOAT in short-order

That 3 was mental. He shoots it from la la land and you're going WTF are you doing man (and then it goes in). Sick

His size is the ultimate cheat code

Caruso is 8-14 from downtown and it seems like Spurs left him open on purpose?

It really is. Thank God we've got KAT and Mitch to make him work. Hopefully OKC does its job beforehand and wear him down. I can't imagine him being able to play 48+ minutes every game like how he had to for SAS to win this game.

Crazily enough, I prefer to play them over OKC. Either will be tough though

Where does Ashley Shahamadi rank in the hottest NBA reporter power-rankings? Taylor Rooks is the only one I'd consider to be better but there is stiff competition.

Honorable mention is Rosalyn Gold Onwude, who unfortunately fell off. Also, Kristin Ledlow. Don't think I need to say more than that.
