And you didn't see one more "mistake" and the Raptors won.

I thought all the questionable calls went against the Cavs in the last few minutes of the game.

So obviously time to make Biyombo the focal point of the offense right? And while we're on the Warriors and being 16-0 and where they could go, might as well look at the 0-16 Sixers (0-16 for the SECOND straight year by the way) and where they could go. They've also tied their own NBA record losing streak at 26 overall.

@NYK

@BKLN

@TOR
@CHI
@ATL

0-27 anyone? That Lakers game is their only chance probably.

I don't know how any Philly fan could stand by their team with this foolishness, year after year.

Not saying he's not at fault, but management has to do a better job of having the right personnel on the 76ers coaching staff. They've both got to be at fault in this situation.

The thing about the NBA is that they just need one superstar. Philly needs a bit more than that lol, but those other pieces will be easy enough to acquire when the time is right. Sad to say but given the trajectory of the Raptors and 76ers, I would bet money that Philly is a much better 'team' within 2-3 years.

As painful as it is to be in the middle of the pack in the NHL draft when you need a great player, it's much worse in the NBA... and it's magnified by being in Canada as free agency is never going to bail the Raptors out.

Carroll is single handedly losing us this game. The missed three's are bad enough, but these layup/inside 8ft misses are unacceptable.

Nice way to end one of the ugliest games of the year so far.

Agreed, but as more Canadian kids make it to the NBA, it should get easier for the raps in free agency.

Yikes, he was pulled over last night driving 108mph, which counts as reckless driving. Also reports coming out about getting into an altercation outside a nightclub back in October in which he punched a guy through a car window and the guy got out and pointed a gun at Okafor's head. The 76ers really need to take care of this guy, there's an alarming pattern emerging here.

76ers are just a nightmare of an organization. They drafted Embiid last year failed to take care of him and he's out of a second straight season. They drafted Okafor and now he's acting out. They really need a veteran to show the ropes for the young teammates.

So Kobe just announced he's retiring at the end of the year. Predictable, yet a sad end.

A year too late, unfortunately for him.

Kobe is on a mission this year to get the Lakers the #1 pick, or at least get them in the top 3 otherwise they lose their pick. Last 10 games from Kobe shooting wise:

4/11
5/16
6/19
7/15
6/19
5/13
6/22
1/14
7/20
4/20

He can barely shoot 30%, and now is going to go on a retirement tour jacking it up 20 times a night. I'm not sure the Lakers win more than 10 games this year. He should probably retire now to let the young guys get on with their careers, instead they all lose a year of development to placate Kobe's retirement. I'd also imagine he's now a lock to start the All Star Game in Toronto so that'll probably be a hot ticket.

He didn't play last year and played poorly this year so far. With the last 2 year contract he signed, he make $50M for doing just that, not a sad end for him financially.
