Everybody knows the French are terrible at defense.

Really glad to see Cousins maturing both mentally and physically. Dominated the Clippers the other night, and then had his coach keep backups on the floor when he wanted to put Cousins in, so they could "build chemistry".

Shaq appears to be doing one heck of a job with him. he's a good kid who had emotional problems but always went out of his way to help people, glad he was able to get his stuff together.

I think even JeffDaddy is receiving MVP consideration from Magic.

It's funny cause I'm sure we all learned our lesson about how it took time for things to come together for 2010 Miami, but I don't think anyone could have envisioned it going this bad for the Cavs.

Kyrie going 5 quarters without an assist
Dion Waiters playing 28 minutes, taking 11 shots and passing the ball a total of 5 times
Lebron and Kyrie already feuding


I am by no means against the Cavs, but it's awesome watching the chaos...whether it's bad or they're about to rip of 20 of 21 wins, it makes for great stories.

So Bill Simmons is like the rest of us and isnt a fan of Mike and Mike huh?

Too much goodness but here is some

It's a big orgy of ESPN people talking about things ESPN people said on ESPN programming. Simmons basically said that James's early season struggles might be evidence of a permanent decline in skill. Golic brushed off those thoughts as "ridiculous," and then took an extra dig by calling Simmons a guy who likes to grab headlines.

What Mike and Mike did today was absolute garbage. I would say I lost respect for that show, but I never had it.

For an ESPN Radio show to pull an interview out of context from another ESPN Radio show, then play the moral authority card, is disgusting.

I had read that Waiters could be a guy that would be a problem for the Cavs. Looks like it might be true.

In fairness to Simmons, pretty sure he didn't actually say Lebron is permanently declining in skill, at least not what I've read.

Simmons basically said Lebron just doesn't look the same, and he has no idea why. I think most would agree he doesn't look the same. Reasons could be the skinnier version of Lebron not being as physical and/or a new offense everyone is working their way into.

He already lost minutes, played 13 last night after his 5 pass performance the previous game.

Lebron has come out and said that he has taken a more passive approach in getting involved with the team early on and facilitating more than being his normal self. Odd idea and approach.

THEY'VE PLAYED 4 GAMES!

THEY'VE PLAYED 4 GAMES!

They should have the title locked up by now... this is inexcusable

OH MY GOSH!!!

[DRiccio21]

HE DOESN'T LOOK THE SAME!!!

I hope he will take charge when need be, as we get deeper into the season, but I think he is doing what he needs to, to get the right mindset instilled in Cleveland.
