Missed FT's killed OKC. Durant, Ibaka, and Reggie Jackson (twice!) missed key foul shots.

Put one of the true clutch players in the game today on the line in Lillard, that's what iced it.

2-0

Kyrie came back in the game though. That's a good sign anyway.

Cavs had one sad 4th quarter today. I thought we might lose there for awhile. Cavs only scored 10 points in the 4th to lose 91-76. They were leading for most of the game...

We'll see regardless if he came back. Westbrook came back too and was gone afterwards.

Hopefully he's okay or CLE really is going to be in tank mode for awhile.

Good news for John Wall. If Kyrie is out he's almost a lock for starting in the ASG.

The Raps traded Gay to tank, but they are doing better somehow. Ujiri is a GENIUS. This is like the Grizzlies last year, or the Nuggets in 2010-11 after Melo was traded.

Bad scheduling for Raptors.

Playing on New Years Eve night AND traveling on New Years day to play another game less than 24 hours later.

Why would NBA ever schedule a back to back on New Years Eve/New Years Day?

Hawks are still winning without Horford too. For now anyway. Millsap had a huge day yesterday. 34 and 15 IIRC.

Pacers doing the same thing except they played at 3 yesterday. Should be a good game tonight though. Good test for Toronto. Indy has a pretty easy stretch of games because the East is so sad, but this is one I think they could lose.

I'm confused by your issue with it.

It's no different than a playing a back to back on a regular day or non-holiday, right?. Didn't ya'll just do this on Friday/Saturday of last week when you were in NY on Friday, then in Toronto on Saturday?

Guessing he's worried about dudes being able to pop bottles for New Years last night and then having to play today? I don't know lol.

It was 2 refs standing right in front of those guys, so not only did they not call the foul they saw, but they heard the slap as well.

The Wolves got Hosed! Dallas fought for that win, and Marion came through, but that wasn't a missed call, it was a non call.

Yeah the Wolves really did but you're gonna have a hard time getting me to feel sorry for being on a right end of a ref's mistake considering what has happened in the past with the Mavs.

He's not a genius. Anyone with a brain could see that Gay wasn't working out in Toronto. He's a smart guy who pulled off a trade but I wouldn't call him a GENIUS just yet.
