2026 NBA Playoffs

Even still, I think Castle has superstar potential. He has a lot of Cade to his game, including the grit

[RatkoVarda]

switch out Holland for Castle and this team is still playing.

Getting jack squat from the 5th pick in 2022 and 2024 drafts just kills me

[Deleterious]

Replace Ron with anyone that contributes and they might still be playing.

That 2024 draft class is terrible.  I guess Castle is the best player from that class, but I'm not a big fan of his.  I think Harper eventually will replace him in the starting lineup.  Maybe as early as next season.

Taking Ron at 5 was kind of silly.  All projections had him going between 10-15.  Buzelis should have been the pick there.

it works.  as long as the refs continue to reward them for it, shai and mitchell and brunson and harden will continue to dive and flop around.

Love the Cavs strategy tonight.  Can't blow a 4th quarter lead if you never have a 4th quarter lead.

I wanted them to take Clingan...but Buzelis would have been better than Holland too

He was a trade deadline move by OKC.

Cavs offense really struggles when road cones Harris and Robinson aren't out there.  

[Adullin]

Lmao cavs can't compete without the refs help. 

[Deleterious]

Mitchell had 4 points in the 4th quarter.  That was 4 more than Harden had.  Those guys make, what?  $100 million combined this year.  

[Deleterious]

Not sure how they will do against the west.  But the Knicks are playing good basketball right now.

 

[buddha]

the knicks are disgusting, but its so nice to see the cavs lose because harden and mitchell cant perform when it matters.

[Deleterious]

To be fair, the Cavs are a pretty bad team.  Going further, Atlanta, Philly, and Cleveland isn't exactly murderers row.

And the Knicks offense is cruising because it only took Mike Brown 3 quarters of basketball to realize James Harden was on the court and you can attack him every time. JB couldn't figure that out in 7 games.

I never thought I'd be saying Mike Brown is smarter than anyone, but here we are.
