| Is Byron trying to out tank Monty? (Posted on 4/4/12 at 11:07 am)
Several weeks ago I thought 10th seeded Cleveland might catch playoff fever and challenge Milwaukee and New York for the 8 seed. They've lost 8 straight and are 1 and 11 in the last 12. They only have 17 wins with 15 games left. Their schedule has been pretty tough lately and it's not getting any easier. Only 5 of their next 15 are against other low lottery teams. We have plenty of distance from the other teams, but Cleveland concerns me with Gordon coming back. We have a new team to root for.

It's funny you bring Scott up. Does anyone here think that he goes to the Clippers in the next year or two? I'm sure CP3 lobbies hard to get him there and I'm sure that the Clips would love to give a little rub to the Lakers.
And yeah, I don't see Cleveland winning many more, but I don't think they can out tank us at this point.

Just Byron being Byron. Wish I had the picture of him giving the finger to Xs and Os.

"It's a knee, but somehow, I don't want to mess it up, but he had something done a long time ago," Williams said. "All the wear and tear is starting to aggravate it again. There's a particular name for what he had done, but I don't know the name of it so I can't even explain myself properly which is normal for me. But in this situation, I'm not quite sure. I know it's a knee issue."
There's no way he's out tanking this. Pure genius right there.

uh no.
CP3 stopped listening to Byron while he was here, so no that won't be happening and I don't see CP3 staying in ClipperLand

Cavs lost to the Bucks last night while the Hornets beat the Nuggets. Now there are only 3 games separating us

Yeah, but when I look at their schedule and try and figure where their wins will come from it is concerning. It's not time to panic but this is probably more important to follow than Minnesota. Demps needs to have the knee cappers on stand by.
