Bad loss to LAL, but the potential is clear. If we can get more from Mahinmi, imagine how good we'll be when Kieff comes back.

All that hero ball and waiting until late shot clock in the 4th drove me crazy. Run some fricking offense guys.

Didn't watch much of the game but I'm glad one DC team won today. 3-0 without either of our 4s? I'll take it!

Shouldn't have come to that, but I'll take the win. Otto should've held the ball though.

Terrible D. We need our 4s back.

Good win, and it was with very little at the 4. As soon as Morris and Smith come back, we'll be good.

God we're hurting at the 4. Please get well soon guys. That's two DC teams I'm saying that about now........

MahiKNEE I really hope he can get his health together. If he can, he's a valuable part of the rotation and a way of preserving Gortat.

Wow there are more people who rarely, if ever, have than I thought! I did when I was in college, maybe 2 times a month. Never prior to college though. I still do sometimes, though I do think to myself sometimes that I'm being immature by doing so.

Also I'm expecting more development from Oubre and Sato.

I couldn't make out the tattoos, who were they?

But do you think he's on an irreversible decline now?

So do you guys think Gortat is on an irreversible decline now? I'm still holding out some hope that his lackluster play down the stretch and during the playoffs were a product of the heavy minutes he had to play early in the year taking a toll on him in Mahinmi's absence, and that (assuming he stays healthy) Mahinmi being in the lineup again can help reduce Gortat's minutes.

Should we make an offer for Kyrie? We are in the market for a good backup PG after all....... There is still the possibility of improvement into next year even with no major FAs. There is still room for development from out big 3, and Oubre and Sato may also take steps forward.

I was always better at 3vs3 than 5vs5 myself.

Why do I keep coming back to this thread.........?

Like I said, I'm pissed at Cleveland for blowing game 3.

I'm actually very pissed at Cleveland for blowing game 3. Good lord, does anyone pull and tug offensively in the post more than Olynik? And they call it a DEFENSIVE foul?! BS

I hope Mahinmi can stay healthy this coming year and we don't have to ride Gortat so hard during the early part of the year. I'm still holding out some hope that Gortat's struggles late in the season and into the playoffs were just a product of being worn down after all the minutes he played early on rather than him starting an irreversible decline.

This series proved that Wall and Beal are awesome, but that the rest of the roster isn't as good as we hoped. Why oh why didn't we keep Sessions......if Bojan leaves after less than 1 year, what a waste of a 1st rounder. Where the heck was Oubre? Jennings was garbage. Sato couldn't have possibly been much worse. Unfortunetely I don't know what can be done in this offseason, other than to hope that Sato, Oubre, and Porter can take leaps forward. I'm kinda glad that we fell short of 50 wins now. It'd be lame if our first 50 win season in forever was just another 2nd round loss against a weak #1 seed.

Holy **** that blows my mind..........

Wall was awesome in the 2nd half, Beal was awesome for the whole game, and Morris played well, but we need more from the rest of the team.

Could someone hit a fricking shot?! Geez..........!!!
