The Cavs biggest fear this offseason is James Harden becoming a pain, according to @BleacherReport
“Harden has a long history of, let's say, fraught contract situations. He'll agitate for an exit the moment he's unhappy with anything, and no one should argue he's above making things uncomfortable for the Cavs—even when he lacks negotiating leverage.”
@GuardsJoey Am I crazy to prefer trading for Trout over Alvarez?

SVG: "Quite honestly, [the Pistons] have been totally outworked tonight. About the only thing they're doing well is defending free throws."
(Cavs shooting 63% from the FT line)
@PulseCleveland Honestly, I would start Tyson and would play him 18, Merrill 17 and Wade only 10. Other than that those minutes are perfect moving forward.
@MikeLucasTV luckily it didn’t matter but when Atkinson wanted to challenge the no call on Harden’s 3 point attempt couldn’t he have challenged who it was out of bounds on and then if there was a foul it would have been called?
@MikeLucasTV My gut is the opposite. I think the mindset has shifted and this is 100% a business trip. Cavs go up 12-0 before Toronto calls timeout to stop the bleeding. I like your end score prediction though

"If you mean it," he said. "You don't say it anonymously."
