I think they're reeling to be honest. They thought things would just click with the talent on the team and ignored their obvious flaws. Pretty hilarious if you ask me. Now they're throwing crap at a wall to see if it sticks. Trading for JR was a big dry one that will NOT stick, if you will.

People can lose weight, and I hope he does. My point was that he and Dawson are different players more than anything. Dawson is more of a wing (though he has ZERO perimeter game) and Swanigan is a big guy.

I think we might be in a draft position to where we can look at a better distributor, but I wouldn't be against Grant at all.

Dawson is athletic/not fat. I'd laugh in Swanigan's face if he went to MSU to play like Dawson.

Mind. Blown. Stop lifting them up after WINS?! What?!

Update: Cleveland is also getting a protected first rounder from OKC. NY is getting Alex Kirk from Cleveland.

Izzo is seriously the man. I don't respect a coach in the world nearly as much as I respect him.

Notre Dame UNC is crazy so head over there!

Maybe THAT'S why Knight did it.

I hope Crean throws everyone's Arby's out onto the runway tonight.

I was going to disagree until you added that 2nd paragraph. :)

I agree that it's a Crean issue that our defense is bad overall. I don't think, however, that tonight would be an appropriate night for a new "Fire Crean" thread based on this performance.

Living up to the username, I see.

Bleedhoosier above nailed it. He's thrown multiple adjustments out there. No one has reacted to said adjustments. Just an off night. We are almost literally making nothing. Not sure how that, which is a MAJOR part of this deficit, can come back on Crean. The ball has been moving better, but again nothing is falling.

Crean's jumper sucks tonight, huh?

Not even close to the reason we're losing, but the officiating has been horrid.

If Waiters accepts a "role player" role, OKC just got better by leaps and bounds. If he acts like he did at Cleveland, not so much. Cleveland added a chucker and an athlete. Not sure that they improved at all. New York is all about the future. Wouldn't be surprised to see more than a couple picks or young guys in this deal heading there.

It comes naturally.

So this is what it looks like when shots aren't falling. We should make shots not not fall. The eternal optimist is hoping and expecting for a halftime adjustment and tons of 2nd half Jimbombs. Go Hoosiers. P.S. At the very least, takes will be hotter than hot later if this continues, so that will be entertaining.

Pretty big trade going on tonight. All these details are from Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo: NY sends JR Smith and Iman Shumpert to Cleveland. Cleveland sends Dion Waiters to OKC, along with 2 unnamed players to OKC or NY. Still waiting to see what OKC gives Cleveland and/or NY. So yeah, this shakes things up a bit.

This take is BOILING HOT.

Every shot is short. I won't speculate but these look like guys with tired legs.

They show the same dunk 4 times and say the rim needs replaced if Dawson keeps getting break aways.
