NBA Cup

I’m so so glad the Cavs didn’t advance in the NBA Cup

/ , , , , / 0 Comments

Full disclosure: I think the NBA Cup (sponsored by Emirates) is an abomination. The ghastly courts notwithstanding, it’s just so dumb.

I mean, I get why the NBA is doing it. The Emirates NBA Cup is supposed to add some spice to the regular season. Maybe the players like it.

But don’t take it from me:

“The Emirates NBA Cup (formerly the NBA In-Season Tournament) is the league’s annual in-season competition, which provides players and teams to chase another championship, engages fans in a new way and drives additional interest in the early portion of the regular-season schedule,” the NBA explains in an FAQ section on its website.

The tournament’s “knockout rounds” are currently underway. Here’s the irony: The teams that didn’t advance to the knockout rounds – like the Cavs – stand to benefit from getting eliminated early. They’re getting a much-needed week off.

The NBA season is a grind, and this almost feels like having another All-Star break.

The Cavs have been banged up, and they have aspirations of a deep postseason run – so you can have the NBA Cup. To whoever wins the Emirates NBA Cup this year, hoist it high and proudly. The Cavaliers don’t need it.

As a Cavs fan, it makes me very happy that these guys had a break to rest up, heal up, recharge, practice, strategize – whatever they needed to do.

It gave me a chance to unplug from Cleveland sports for a few days, although I’ve been hearing on 92.3 the Fan that Max Strus could be back Friday night. I’m sure it’s all over the internet, but I’m taking a break for another day.

Now that I think about it, I kind of like the NBA Cup.

Cavs NBA power rankings

Cavs finally getting some love in NBA power rankings

/ , , , , , , , / 0 Comments

Do you like NBA basketball? Have you been watching the Cleveland Cavaliers?

You might’ve heard that the Cavs are 12-0. You also might’ve heard that they’re only the eighth team in NBA history to do so – and that they lead the NBA in points per game, field-goal percentage, 3-point-shooting percentage and probably a bunch of  categories I don’t even know about.

That’s all well and good. But it seems that most national media outlets have been reluctant to cede the No. 1 spot in their power rankings to the Cavaliers – until now.

After blowing out Golden State and grinding out wins over New Orleans, Brooklyn and Chicago, the Cavs are coming in at No. 1 in The Athletic’s NBA power rankings, published today.

The Athletic had the Cavs ranked No. 2 last week.

According to Law Murray of The Athletic, of the seven other teams that have jumped out to 12-0 starts, only two have failed to reach the NBA Finals.

“There is a lot to look forward to, like seeing how long the Cavaliers can keep this up while shooting better than 50% from the field and 40% from 3 as a team,” Murray says.

Likewise, NBA.com boosted the Cavs up a notch to the No. 1 spot in its latest power rankings, published on Nov. 11.

NBA.com writer John Schuhmann asserts that the Cavs’ league-leading 3-point-shooting percentage (41.3% after Monday night’s win in Chicago) is one of the “unsustainable” aspects of the Cavs’ scorching start.

Among other observations, Schuhmann points out that heading into Monday night’s matchup against Chicago, the Cavs had outscored their opponents by 28.3 points per 100 possessions in Caris LeVert’s 210 minutes – the highest on-court mark among 300 players who’ve averaged at least 10 minutes per game.

And for those naysayers who points to all of the sub-.500 teams on the Cavs’ early-season schedule, Schuhmann notes that the Cavaliers have just two rest-advantage games in their first 40 games of the 2024-2025 season. Notably, both of them are this week (Philadelphia and Charlotte).

Not everyone has bought in yet. In Bleacher Report’s most recent power rankings – published on Nov. 8 – the Cavs are No. 3, behind Oklahoma City and Boston.

“Cleveland fans have to be a little annoyed to see their still-undefeated Cavaliers stuck in third place,” Bleacher Report’s Andy Bailey wrote. “ … The Cavs still don’t feel like a top-tier title contender, but we may not be able to say that much longer.”

Of course, these NBA power rankings aren’t the end-all be-all of basketball analysis. At the end of the day, they hold about as much weight as a “World’s Greatest Dad” T-shirt.

 

Cavs getting teams' best shot

Cavaliers are ‘getting everyone’s best shot now’

/ , , , , , , / 0 Comments

After a busy Sunday with the family, I’m rewatching Saturday night’s come-from-behind win over the Nets.

Mercifully, there was no Browns game this weekend, so Northeast Ohio was able to celebrate the Cavs’ 11-0 start without any distractions.

On the second night of a back-to-back – and the Cavaliers looking a bit sluggish at times – Evan Mobley led the Cavs with 23 points, 16 rebounds, four steals and a late-game block. He really stepped up when the team needed him.

Donovan Mitchell went 4-for-4 from 3-point range in the first quarter and the Cavs jumped out to a 34-28 lead. But the feisty Nets – who lost to the Celtics in OT the night before – kept hitting shots, and seemingly had the Cavaliers on the ropes in the third quarter.

With Mobley and Darius Garland leading the way, the Cavs dug out of a 14-point deficit and outscored the Nets 35-18 in the fourth quarter, eking out a 105-100 win.

A few thoughts:

  1. Even with Dean Wade in uniform and presumably feeling better, coach Kenny Atkinson went with Isaac Okoro in the starting lineup, for the fourth straight game. On the telecast Saturday night, John Michael made a point to mention that Atkinson planned to stick with that lineup going forward. I like Okoro, but I like Wade better as a starter.
  2. Okoro had a great game Friday night against Golden State, going 4-for-6 from 3-point range. He finished with 16 points, four assists and a team-high +32 rating.
  3. The next night against Brooklyn, Okoro had three points and went 0-for-3 from 3-point range. He finished with a team-low -20 rating.
  4. Okoro wasn’t the only Cav who was in a funk. Jarrett Allen – the double-double machine – looked gassed in the second night of a back-to-back. The usually dependable Allen finished with four points and five rebounds, and Atkinson limited the Fro to 21 minutes of playing time.
  5. The Nets were on the second night of a back-to-back as well, and they gave the Cavaliers all they could handle, one night after giving the NBA champs all they could handle. Caris LeVert credited the Nets’ full-court pressure and physical defense for disrupting the Cavs’ flow.
  6. “They did a really good job just kind of mucking the game up, making it a little slower, not letting us move freely,” LeVert said. “We’ll watch the film and see how we can get better from it.”
  7. After the Cavaliers’ 105-100 victory, the Cavs’ NBA-leading scoring average dropped from 124.5 points per game to 122.7.
  8. LeVert had 12 points, six assists and two blocks for the Cavs off the bench. Commenting on the Nets’ defensive pressure, LeVert said: “You’re starting to see that we’re getting everyone’s best shot now. People are starting to take notice of what we’re doing, and it’s fun.”
  9. If this is the year that the Cavs take the next step, winning the second night of a back-to-back is just the latest sign that they’re ready. “It was a great challenge for us,” LeVert told reporters. “Great teams win the second nights of back-to-backs.”
  10. The Cavs’ camaraderie was on full display during Garland’s postgame interview, when Donovan Mitchell tried to douse Garland with water (or liquid LSD). Garland, who hit some clutch shots in the fourth quarter, was clearly gassed. “We fought for 48 minutes, literally,” Garland said. “Coming off a back-to-back, that was a big ****ing win. That was a good win.”

 

Georges Niang

Are these the last days of Georges Niang as a Cavalier?

/ , , , , , / 0 Comments

I started writing this blog post while watching the Celtics take the Cavs to the woodshed in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

The Cavaliers played hard, but it was clear from the outset that they had zero chance of winning the game. As the second half unfolded, it took on the feel of a Harlem Globetrotters game – with the Cavs on the wrong end of that equation.

Things went so far off the rails for the Cavaliers that Georges Niang graced the parquet floor for the final three minutes of the fourth quarter.

There was a time, not so long ago, that Georges (don’t be fooled by the spelling – he’s just one man) was one of the first subs in the queue for J.B. Bickerstaff. He was a key rotation piece, as they say – and a guy who looks like he’s no stranger to subs.

The Cavaliers signed Niang to a three-year, $26 million contract in the offseason. Reportedly, Koby Altman had been coveting the colorful 3-and-D forward for some time. It made sense on paper: When the Cavs signed Niang, he was coming off his fifth consecutive season shooting 40% or better from 3-point range. And he brought some much-needed attitude to a team that’s been branded as “too soft” on more than one occasion.

Niang’s orneriness was as advertised: The guy never stops talking, and doesn’t hesitate to get all up in your grill. But he had a hard time backing up all that tough talk. Niang shot 37.6% from 3-point range in the regular season – a couple points below his career average – and seemed to go cold when the Cavaliers needed him most.

In the Game 1 playoff win over Orlando, Niang chipped in five points in 24 minutes of action, although he was 0-for-4 from 3-point range. In Game 2, he went scoreless in 13 minutes, going 0-for-4 from deep.

After the series shifted south (and went south for the Cavs), Niang had tumbled out of Bickerstaff’s rotation. Niang was a healthy scratch in Game 5, and saw just three minutes of playing time in the decisive Game 7 in Cleveland. He was scoreless in that game.

In Tuesday night’s 120-95 bloodletting in Boston, Niang was relegated to garbage time.

The way things are going, I can’t imagine the Cavaliers keeping Niang around next season.

In the aftermath of the Cavaliers’ first-round loss to the Knicks last season, Altman made a concerted effort to shore up the 3-point shooting – and add some grit and toughness – with the signings of Niang and Max Strus. Niang, in particular, was supposed to be the kind of tough, scrappy, clutch-shooting role player who can make a real difference for a team with aspirations of a deep playoff run.

The fact that Niang has slid down the depth chart – at a time when the Cavs need him most – speaks volumes about his future in Cleveland.

Sports gambling

Is legal sports gambling hurting the NBA?

/ , , , , , , , , / 0 Comments

All of a sudden, Rudy Gobert doesn’t seem so crazy.

Gobert made headlines for pantomiming the money sign after getting whistled for his sixth foul late in the fourth quarter of a wild Cavaliers-Timberwolves game in Cleveland on March 8. By flashing the money sign, Gobert was implying that the officiating crew targeted the 7-foot-1 Frenchman because they had money riding on the game.

At first blush, Gobert’s reaction reeked of sour grapes. The Cavs went on to win the game in overtime, and Gobert – as dominant as he is – has a history of emotional outbursts. Even after watching the Netflix documentary “Untold: Operation Flagrant Foul,” it’s hard to imagine that the trio of officials in Cleveland that night would’ve been brazen enough to place bets on the game they were officiating. (Although it’s worth mentioning that Scott Foster and Tim Donaghy were fast friends back in the day.)

But sadly, Gobert’s larger point – that legalized sports betting is hurting the NBA – might have some legs.

Prior to Cleveland’s home matchup against the Miami Heat, Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff told reporters that the sports-betting craze is starting to hit way too close to home.

“I personally have had my own instances with some of the sports gamblers, where they got my telephone number and were sending me crazy messages about where I live and my kids and all that stuff,” Bickerstaff said. “So it is a dangerous game and a fine line that we’re walking for sure.”

I’ll share a personal anecdote. When I attended the Cavs-Knicks game in Cleveland on March 3, there was a guy sitting in our row who repeatedly declared that “the Cavs are gonna win by five” to anyone in earshot. Late in the fourth quarter – when it was clear that the Cavs weren’t going to win at all – he vanished like a fart in the wind. I’m guessing he had some skin in the game.

That guy popped into my mind when Bickerstaff talked about the “added pressure” that legal sports gambling has placed on the game of professional basketball.

“It brings a distraction to the game that can be difficult for players, coaches, referees – everybody that’s involved in it,” Bickerstaff said. “And I think that we really have to be careful with how close we let it get to the game and the security of the people who are involved in it, because again it does carry a weight. A lot of times people who are gambling, this money pays their light bill or pays their rent, and the emotions that come from that. So I do think we’re walking a very fine line and we have to be extremely careful in protecting everybody who’s involved.”

I certainly hope the fan in our row didn’t wager his rent money on that game.

Sports betting has been legal in the Buckeye State since Jan. 1, 2023, thanks to the passage of House Bill 29. Since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a federal law that prohibited sports gambling in 2018, some 38 states and the District of Columbia have legalized sports betting in some form.

Marcus Morris

Cavs sign veteran Marcus Morris to 10-day contract

/ , , , , , / 0 Comments

The Cleveland Cavaliers added some depth and experience with the signing of forward Marcus Morris.

The 13-year veteran appeared in 37 games this season with the Philadelphia 76ers. Morris was traded to San Antonio as part of a three-team deal on Feb. 8, and the Spurs bought out his contract on Feb. 29.

After signing with the Cavs, the 6-8 forward will be eligible for postseason play.

In his career, Morris has played in 820 games (509 starts) with Houston, Phoenix, Detroit, Boston, New York, L.A. Clippers and Philadelphia, averaging 12.1 points and 4.5 rebounds in 26.7 minutes per game.

But it’s his playoff experience that makes this such a strong move for the Cavaliers. In 67 career playoff games (45 starts), Morris has averaged 12.6 points and 5.1 rebounds in 30.1 minutes while shooting nearly 41% from 3-point range.

Prior to Monday night’s game in Indianapolis, coach J.B. Bickerstaff rattled off the list of attributes that make Morris a great fit for a young Cavaliers team.

“Just the level of professionalism,” Bickerstaff said. “[Morris is] a guy who’s been through all the trials and tribulations of the NBA; a ton of experience. There’s a toughness to him, a grit to him. [There’s a] reputation around this league of what his peers think about him and how they respect him. And obviously his ability to make shots and compete on the floor.”

With 14 games left in the season, the Cavaliers are looking ahead to the playoffs. The battle-tested Morris is a low-risk waiver-wire pickup for a team that’s determined to advance further than last year.

Donovan Mitchell

Donovan Mitchell’s knee still isn’t right

/ , , , , , , , , / 0 Comments

Like many NBA teams, the Cavaliers have been battling injuries throughout the season.

Jarrett Allen missed the first five games of the season after hurting his left ankle in training camp. Evan Mobley and Darius Garland each missed roughly six weeks starting in mid-December. Max Strus has missed the last seven games with a right-knee strain.

Then there’s MVP candidate Donovan Mitchell. The Cavs welcomed Mitchell back to the fold on March 13 after a seven-game absence, and trounced the New Orleans Pelicans 116-95 – snapping the Pelicans’ four-game winning streak.

Mitchell tallied 14 points in New Orleans. While that’s roughly half of Mitchell’s season scoring average, Darius Garland told reporters after the game that Mitchell’s mere presence on the court is a major boost for the Cavs, because he attracts so much attention from the opposing defense.

Unfortunately, the Cavaliers were unable to carry that momentum into Houston Saturday night, where they lost to the Rockets 117-103.

Mitchell drained three 3-pointers but finished with only 13 points in 25 minutes of action.

After the game, a frustrated Mitchell dropped a bit of a bombshell on reporters.

“I’ll give you some news: I’m probably not playing the next game, to be completely honest with you,” Mitchell said. “I just gotta take some rest and get it right. I thought I was ready. I’m not.”

On March 4, Mitchell received a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection at the Cleveland Clinic Sports Medicine Center to treat a bone bruise in his left knee. Coach J.B. Bickerstaff has attributed the injury to wear and tear over the course of the season.

After the loss in Houston, Mitchell was brutally honest about how the bruised knee has stifled his game.

“No disrespect to some guys – I’m not really blowing by people right now, and that’s disappointing to me and it’s affecting me,” Mitchell said. “ … It sucks. I want to be out there, but it’s clear as day, even to myself. I can’t fool myself. So I have to sit there, get it right and be ready when that time comes.”

If Mitchell can’t play in Monday night’s Central Division matchup in Indiana, it will be a tough blow for a Cavaliers team that’s been struggling since the All-Star break. However, the Cavs have managed to overcome plenty of adversity throughout the season. Despite the rash of injuries, they’re still within striking distance of the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Cavaliers are 33-16 with Mitchell in the lineup this season.

sports betting

Did the refs have money riding on the Cavs-Timberwolves game?

/ , , , , , , , , , , / 0 Comments

No.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that neither Scott Foster, Natalie Sago nor Danielle Scott had money riding on Friday night’s Cavs-Timberwolves game at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

You can say what you want about the quality of the officiating in this game – it seems like a lot of folks on both sides had some issues with it. Rudy Gobert certainly did.

Gobert didn’t like when the refs whistled him for landing an elbow on Jarrett Allen’s face as they jockeyed for position in the low post. And he #letemknow by doing a cute impression of Johnny Manziel on draft day, suggesting that there was a connection between legalized sports gambling and the referees making the correct call with 27.8 seconds left in regulation. (I know, Rudy, it’s always a flop.)

To be fair, sports betting has been legal in the Buckeye State since Jan. 1, 2023, thanks to the passage of House Bill 29. In fact, since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a federal law that prohibited sports gambling in 2018, some 38 states and the District of Columbia have legalized sports betting in some form, according to Forbes.

And for all you conspiracy theorists out there, according to the National Basketball Referees Association, Sago’s favorite TV show is “I (Almost) Got Away With It.” That’s an admission of guilt if there ever was one. (Her favorite movie: “Home Alone.”)

And we all know about Tim Donaghy. Maybe Gobert just finished watching the Netflix special (“Untold: Operation Flagrant Foul”). Or maybe Gobert knows something we don’t know.

Here’s what we do know: Gobert and the Timberwolves were playing the second night of a back-to-back, without one of their stars. The T-Wolves were spent, and Jarrett Allen was getting under his skin. We also know that Gobert is a blowhard who believes every foul call on him is an egregious flop.

After the game, Gobert doubled-down on his assertion that sports betting is “hurting our game,” according to a CBS Sports article. However, he’s not as big of an idiot as I thought, as he admitted “it wasn’t the time for me to react that way.”

“I should have not done that,” Gobert told reporters. “I cost my team the game, and obviously, they couldn’t wait to give me a tech. That was bad. That was an immature reaction.”

Case closed.

Weird Week for Cavs

Cavs cap off weird week by beating best team in the West

/ , , , , , , , , / 0 Comments

Playing their fourth game in six nights, the Cavs knocked off the best team in the Western Conference – in overtime – two nights after beating the top team in the NBA in dramatic fashion.

Sandwiched between those gutsy wins were losses to the Hawks and the severely undermanned Knicks.

Friday night, the Cavs went toe-to-toe with the Timberwolves and their No. 1-ranked defense, matching Minnesota’s physical style of play – a promising sign for a team that got pushed around in the playoffs last year.

With Evan Mobley out, Jarrett Allen stepped up in a big way. Against a bigger man in Rudy Gobert – the second-leading rebounder in the NBA – Allen was a force in the paint, and he finished with a career-high 33 points, 18 rebounds and two blocks.

It was fun to watch Gobert’s late-game meltdown that led to a technical foul and a game-tying free throw. Gobert pantomimed the money sign with his fingertips after getting whistled for his sixth foul, suggesting the refs had money riding on the game. Allen clearly got under his skin.

Allen’s strategy against Gobert: “Just go out there with energy.”

“I think Rudy gets a lot of hate for what he does, but I still think he’s excellent in his position and how he goes out and plays the game,” the affable Allen told reporters after the game. “So for me it was to try to find little moments where I can sneak in, grab a rebound, tip the ball out or just catch him slipping.”

Gobert’s sixth foul sure seemed like a legit foul. But the hot-headed Frenchman didn’t see it that way. With 27.8 seconds left in the game – and the T-Wolves clinging to a one-point lead – it probably wasn’t the best time for Gobert to get on his soapbox about sports gambling.

The Cavaliers prevailed in overtime, 113-104, without the services of Mobley, Donovan Mitchell and Max Strus.

“It just boosts us for when everybody else comes back,” Allen said. “Contrary to [popular] belief, I do believe we’re at our best when everybody is back in the lineup.”

Still, it sometimes seems that Allen plays better when Mobley is out of the lineup. He’s more assertive, more aggressive and more decisive. Maybe it’s a case of next-man-up mentality.

J.B. Bickerstaff chalks it up to Allen’s consistency.

“He’s just been consistently dominant,” Bickerstaff said after the T-Wolves game. “We’ve been saying this since before the All-Star break, where we thought he was deserving to be an All-Star, because I can’t tell you bigs that are playing better than Jarrett Allen. He’s just been phenomenal. It’s a testament to him as a human being, as basketball player, to just want to do more to help the team win. And that’s who JA is.”

Darius Garland wasn’t too shabby either. Garland – who after the game said he doesn’t feel anywhere near 100% yet – paced the Cavaliers with 34 points on 13-of-26 shooting and eight assists.

“We know what Darius is capable of, and we believe in Darius wholeheartedly,” Bickerstaff said. “In the NBA, guys go through ups and downs, but the great ones figure out a way to come out of it. And he puts the time in, he works his tail off, his teammates believe in him, support him, trust him, and we know he’s gonna make the plays when we need him.”

Dean Wade

Dean Wade finally has his moment, and I couldn’t be happier for him

/ , , , , , / 0 Comments

The Boston Celtics were taking it to the Cavaliers Tuesday night – just as they’d done to so many other hapless teams this season – on the Cavs’ home floor, in a nationally televised game nonetheless.

Down 87-71 to start the fourth quarter – and without three of their starters – the Cavs were in dire straits against the NBA’s best team. Early in the fourth, the Celtics extended their seemingly insurmountable lead to 93-71.

Down by double digits to start the fourth, Georges Niang had some advice for his teammate Dean Wade: “Empty the clip.”

Wade, whose last bucket came in the first quarter, took Niang’s advice to heart. And then some.

Wade splashed five 3-pointers in the final frame, igniting an improbable rally that snapped the Celtics’ NBA-best 11-game winning streak. Wade finished with 23 points – including a putback dunk that sealed the game – and his 20 fourth-quarter points outscored all of the Celtics combined (17) in the deciding quarter.

The soft-spoken Wade, who has battled injuries through much of his young NBA career, had his moment Tuesday night, delivering one of the Cavs’ biggest wins of the regular season so far. Isaac Okoro and Niang hit big 3-pointers in the final stretch as well.

After the Cavs’ 105-104 win, it was a refreshing sight to see Wade on the podium, where he was pepped with questions from the media.

“It felt good, the fourth quarter,” Wade said matter-of-factly. “The rim looked really big.”

During his postgame comments, Wade offered a glimpse into the mindset of the Cavs as they battled back from a 22-point deficit. Interestingly, Wade said he didn’t look at the scoreboard for much of the fourth quarter.

“When that momentum shift happened in the fourth quarter, you’re kind of aware of the score but you’re really just kind of in the flow of the game,” Wade told reporters. “You’re not really worried about anything except making the right play, and when I looked up there, I think we were either down 2 or down 4. I was like, Oh yeah, momentum is on our side, we’re playing well right now; defensively, we’re getting stops – I think we’re in a good spot.”

Wade credited Niang for his “empty-the-clip” pep talk in the fourth. Wade’s teammates and coaches had similar words of encouragement for him at halftime.

“They’re like, shoot it a hundred times. I don’t care if you miss every single time,” Wade said. “Them having that confidence in me really motivated me and gave me confidence. We came out in the fourth and they found me every single time I was open. The ball was in my hands every time I was open – [with] perfect timing. I gotta give [credit] to my teammates for having that confidence in me.”

The first three quarters of the Celtics game looked like a continuation of the previous game against the shorthanded Knicks, a 107-98 loss. But as each shot fell for Wade, the fifth-year forward said he could feel the momentum shifting.

“This group, we just never stop fighting,” Wade told reporters. “We have full belief in ourselves and each other, and tonight really showed that no matter what happens, we’re gonna play hard and play together.”

Wade said he probably hasn’t had a quarter like that since high school, “or maybe before high school.”

It’s hard not to root for a guy like Wade – a Wichita, Kansas, native who stayed in his home state to play college hoops. He’s had some hard luck with injuries early in his career, but when he’s healthy, he plays hard, hustles on defense and crashes the glass.

It was nice to see his entire game on display. In addition to six 3-pointers, he got two big baskets by being aggressive in the paint. He also hauled in eight rebounds.

“[It’s] just all those little things,” Wade said. “I was trying to get out there and run the floor as hard as I could, going for all the offensive rebounds. And on defense everyone relies on each other, and I didn’t want to be the person to let them down. That’s my whole mindset.”

Down the stretch, Wade was in the zone.

“Man, it’s a great feeling,” Wade said after the game. “It’s kind of like your mind’s quiet – just quiet – and the rim looks huge, that’s all I can tell you. As soon as the ball touched my hand, I think I hit a 3 and [the Celtics] called timeout, but that whole time running down the floor I was like, If DG flips this back to me, no matter where I’m at on this court, it’s going up. And I had just hit a couple before that … and the rim looked like a swimming pool – so that helps.”
