@ #3: LSU is starting to look like USC South.
Looks like that historic collapse in game one of the Cavs-Knicks series was the psychological death knell for the Cleveland squad. Collectively, the team has to be thinking that if they could let something that inexcusable happen to them, they’re not meant to advance. Of course, the players will deny that any bad vibes remain in their minds, but let’s be real: what happened in that game was so tragic, it was on par with hearing that one’s young child has suddenly died. You don’t just wipe that thought away.
From Joe T.: Do you think it’s fair to put it all on Harden, or should the consequences be shared by the collective?
#9 The kids who do this kind of thing are the ones who are truly doing it for the love of the game. Good luck young man!
