We'll call it a teaching moment. I wasn't paying the best attention by the end of the game thanks to all the free beers, but Waiters was a stud for most of the second half. The Q went crazy when he drove down the lane and dunked.

Maybe the Spurs didn't play their best game, but taking the team with the best record in the NBA to the last 9 seconds is improvement. As much as I would like to see them win they can't afford to win to many games against teams like the Spurs because I have a feeling they aren't going to be losing to teams they should beat as often.

Put that last 9 seconds on a loop in the locker room for the next month just to show that you can't let up if you want to be a champion.

the cavs schedule post all-star break is pretty brutal. they aren't going to be winning a whole lot of games regardless of whether or not they bring it each night.

you can pretty easily see how getting effective play from the center position totally alters cleveland's performance. if they got that kind of play from zeller every night, they'd be a SF away from actually being a competitive team.

Andy being out most of the season seems to be good for Tristan and Zeller. Both are getting more minutes and will help limit how much Andy is needed next year especially if they sign Oden. A lot of question marks, but they would have enough depth to limit everyone and hopefully stay healthy.

So if the Lakers make the playoffs (big IF) looks like we'd have 3 first rounders and 2 2nd rounders (ours, LAL's and Miami's in the first and ours and Orlando's 2nd).

Will be very interesting to see what Grant does with those as obviously with how young we are we have no need for 5 rooks.....the 2nd rounders are interesting because they are so high, do we trade them for a future first on draft night or take some changes on euro talent and keep them stashed overseas for awhile....thoughts?

As an aside, I wish we'd bring Sasha Kaun back over....he'd add some size and defensive depth at C.
