A big win over the Bucks (and their high ranking +/- guys) has pushed Nikola Jokić into 3rd place in plus-minus on the season:
1. Steph, +449
2. Gobert, +344
3. Jokić, +333
4. CP3, +321

Serena Winters @SerenaWinters
16 year vet, Rajon Rondo had some advice for a mostly silent Cavs lockerroom (which Jarrett Allen shared):
“You can’t get too high & you can’t get too low…we got a little high beating the defending champs. Tonight we got a wake up call & dropped down to earth a little bit.” – 10:29 PM
Phoenix Suns @Suns
CLEVELAND BOUND ✈️
Coach Monty Williams and his staff have secured their spot to represent the Western Conference at #NBAAllStar. – 10:21 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Phoenix’s win tonight clinches Monty Williams as the coach of Team LeBron in next month’s All-Star Game in Cleveland. Fitting the Suns closed the win out the way they have so many times this season: by dominating the final minutes of a close game. – 10:14 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
#Suns 115 #Spurs 110 Final.
40-9.
10th straight win.
Monty Williams and #Suns coaching staff can punch their ticket to Cleveland for #NBAAllStar game. – 10:12 PM
Serena Winters @SerenaWinters
Jarrett Allen expressed the same sentiments as Darius Garland, also said they can use tonight’s loss as motivation for tomorrow.
“This is not who we are as a basketball team, and we want to show the world who we are.” #Cavs10:02 PM
Serena Winters @SerenaWinters
“No excuse.”
Darius Garland made it clear tonight’s loss to Detroit weighed heavy on him.
“We thought tonight was going to be a cakewalk…It’s never like that in the league…I know there’s more games but that was unacceptable tonight.”
Up next: New Orleans, tomorrow. – 10:00 PM
Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
#Cavs definitely felt the Ricky Rubio loss in the fourth quarter tonight. The DG-Rondo combo just hasn’t been nearly as effective. – 10:00 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
After posting 19 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds tonight, Cade Cunningham is the 12th rookie in NBA history with at least two triple-doubles through 40 games. He’s also the first Piston rookie with multiple triple-doubles in a season. – 9:47 PM
Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
“We thought it was a cakewalk. You see their record and think that it’s gonna be an easy win and go home and go to the next game. It’s never like that in the league.”
#Cavs have a fourth-quarter meltdown against Detroit

Pistons were 5-28 from 10/20 thru Dec. 31. They went 7-9 in January with wins over Milwaukee, Utah and Cleveland.
Sure. – 9:46 PM

Brace yourselves for two weeks of Detroit slander and some inaccurate narratives. – 9:39 PM

Really happy for Matthew Stafford. Just imagine all those years in Detroit with the Lions and FINALLY he gets out and making the most of it so far. – 9:38 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Sunday’s matchup between the Pistons & Cavs was a look at the league’s future. @Kelsey Russo and I had a discussion about Cade Cunningham and Evan Mobley as the game played out. It started with how damn good Mobley is, and ended with how special Cade is:

On if this 115-105 loss to Detroit was a wake-up call, #Cavs Darius Garland said, “It should be. Everybody was silent in the locker room. So I hope everybody woke up, everybody lit something under their butt. I know there’s more games but I mean, that was unacceptable tonight.” – 9:25 PM
Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
#Cavs Jarrett Allen to PR ace B.J. Evans in the middle of his postgame press conference: “Can you open my (food) tray so the coconut shrimp doesn’t mess my brownie up?” – 9:23 PM

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Cade on Stewart: “He’s going to try and outwork everybody. He’s such a big piece for this team. How hard he works is contagious for everybody. We feed off him. He wants to make the right play every time.” – 9:04 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Cunningham on Stewart’s growth: “The thing about Isaiah, he’s going to try to outwork everybody. He’s such a big piece for this team, just how hard he works. It’s contagious for everybody. We try to feed off of his energy.” – 9:04 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Cunningham on the bench play: “They come in and make a lot of plays, they make energy, and that’s what you need. Some nights the first unit isn’t going to have a lot of energy … that’s huge for us.” – 9:03 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Cade on Frank Jackson: “That second group, there’s been a few games where the starters have a bad start and they save us.” – 9:02 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Cunningham on playing with Bey: “Any time he’s aggressive, getting downhill, getting open looks, we’re in a good place. Me and him, we’ve tried to build our chemistry up and we know if we can play off of each other, we’re going to create a lot of shots for each other.” – 9:02 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Cade on chemistry with Saddiq: “Anytime he’s aggressive, getting downhill, getting open looks, we’re in a good space.” – 9:02 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Asked Cade about going against Mobley, and if that’s something he thought about: “I knew that would be one of the narratives of the game, but I try not to focus in on that kind of thing too much. I can’t play Evan Mobley’s game, and Evan Mobley can’t play my game better than me.” – 9:00 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Cade: “I can’t play Mobley’s game better than him, and he can’t play my game better than me. I just have to focus on myself. … When you focus on the narrative, your mind is not in the right place.” – 9:00 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Cade on going against the length of Mobley and Allen: “You can’t be nervous going in there. It’ll shrink your offense. You have to feel it out.” – 8:59 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Cunningham on getting better as games go on: “It’s just taking each possession as its own little game and trying to make the best read that play. After that play is over, you have to throw it away and move on. I never feel out of sync … I just feel like the last shot was off.” – 8:58 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Asked Cade about the art of adjusting in real time: “I think it’s taking each possession as its own little game.” – 8:58 PM

Casey on Cade making adjustments in real time: “He’s a special kid. He’s got a lot to learn. He’s got a lot of different defenses to see. … He was going against some elite defenders. … That takes an adjustment. He made an adjustment. … He’s got that gene.” – 8:45 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Casey on Cade making adjustments in real time: “He’s a special kid. He’s got a lot to learn, a lot of defenses still to see, a lot of defenders … that takes an adjustment, and he did between the first half and the second half.” – 8:45 PM

Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Casey on Cade: “He’s a clutch player. He has ‘it’ down the stretch, and hopefully it continues during his career here in Detroit. The bigger the moment, Cade steps up in those moments.” – 8:43 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Dwane Casey said he thinks Isaiah Stewart’s physicality wore Cleveland out. “A lot of guys don’t want to battle that the entire night. I think he has the respect of the officials. It’s a talent to make them feel you for all four quarters.” – 8:41 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Casey said he thinks Isaiah Stewart eventually wore down the Cavs’ big men. “It’s a 15-round bout.” – 8:40 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Casey said he was very pleased with Cade’s performance. Loved how he sticked with it, executed and didn’t get in his own head. – 8:38 PM

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Saddiq Bey on Dwane’s message being down 15-0: “This is the beauty of the NBA. We obviously didn’t want to start like that, but we knew it was a lead we could cut into. We knew we had to play hard and be more physical.” – 8:31 PM

Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Also, gotta give Dwane Casey credit for getting the Pistons to lock in after a horrendous start. The Cavs are one of the best teams in the NBA, and Detroit completely took control of the game in the fourth quarter. – 8:25 PM

5. Indiana/Sacramento 18-33 – 8:22 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
A very “growing up” performance from the Pistons, who started the game down 15-0 and won 115-105. Looked like shades of Orlando game early on.
Frank Jackson kept Detroit alive in first half. He finished with 19.
Cade Cunningham, Saddiq and Beef Stew were great in the 2H. – 8:22 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
FINAL: Pistons 115, Cavs 105. I think that was Detroit’s best performance of the season. Cleveland opened the game with a 15-0 run. Detroit trailed 98-89 with nine minutes left, and closed the game with a 26-7 run to win with their young players taking control of the game. – 8:22 PM

Saddiq Bey is the strongest player on the court and he knows it. – 7:44 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Cade just threw a dime to Saddiq for an and-1. Just as I thought, Cade has adjusted to Cavs’ length and size as the game has gone on. After 0 points in the first half, he’s got 9 in the third quarter.
Saddiq Bey is up to 21 points. Cleveland up by five. – 7:39 PM
Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill
What a bounce pass from Cade Cunningham to Saddiq Bey. In traffic, full court bounce on a rope. Might be the best dime I’ve seen in his young career – 7:38 PM
Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
That was some kind of pass by Cade to hit Bey in stride on the break. – 7:38 PM

#Cavs Dean Wade continuing to play well in Lauri Markkanen’s absence. Up to 14 points on 4-5 from 3 and some stingy defense on Cade. You can read about the guy one member of the organization calls the “lucky charm” here:

Frank Jackson just hit a heat check from 3. He has 12 points and three 3-pointers in six minutes. Pistons just cut a 15-point deficit to three, 26-23 – 6:31 PM
Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
Evan Mobley is ridiculous. – 6:31 PM

Pistons are now down just four because Frank Jackson brought his strap to work. – 6:30 PM

Watching Kevin Love “close out” is so much fun. – 6:28 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Frank Jackson has given the Pistons a needed offensive lift. Hit a 3 and completed a 3-point play on back-to-back possessions. Assisted McGruder for a layup. Pistons are on a 12-2 run and have cut the deficit to 5, after falling behind 15-0 – 6:27 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Frank and Saddiq have given the Pistons some life. Good passing from Cade early on, too. – 6:25 PM
Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
#Cavs have forced the Pistons to call two timeouts in the first 4 minutes. Cavs lead 15-0 – 6:19 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
The Cavaliers lead the Pistons 15-0. Yep. – 6:18 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Dwane Casey calls timeout after Dean Wade hits a 3. Cavs are up 9-0. Pistons got off to a cold start against Orlando on Friday and are suffering another cold start right now – 6:14 PM
Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
Interesting that #Cavs are putting Dean Wade on rookie Cade Cunningham early on. They want size on Cade and Wade has been getting some of these tougher matchups lately. – 6:13 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Darius Garland is shifty. Cavs have score the first six points of the game – 6:12 PM

This happened Fri in ORL.
Completely reprehensible action from the fan(s).
JD, sorry you had to deal w/ this BS. It’s completely unacceptable. Your poise is beyond commendable. pic.twitter.com/a9ag7Tc2e74:48 PM

Brandon Ingram (right ankle sprain), Jonas Valanciunas (non-COVID illness) and Josh Hart (left knee sprain) are all questionable for tomorrow’s game in Cleveland, per the Pelicans. – 4:30 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Casey said Jerami Grant will be back before the trade deadline. He said he talked to Jerami about. Said he’s “paying it no mind.” – 4:28 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Casey said the team is trying to get Grant and Olynyk’s conditioning level up so they can return, and hopes Grant will be back before the trade deadline. Doesn’t think the deadline is a factor in Grant not returning yet. – 4:28 PM
New Orleans Pelicans @PelicansNBA
Josh Hart, Brandon Ingram, and Jonas Valanciunas all questionable for Monday’s game at Cleveland

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Casey said Grant and Olynyk are a couple of conditioning days away from returning. – 4:27 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Casey isn’t surprised by Evan Mobley’s season. “You saw what he’s doing now and he’s still not a finished product. He hasn’t stretched the floor like he will be able to. Strength is a factor, he will grow into his body … he has every skill that you look for in a big man.” – 4:27 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Casey on CoJo today vs. younger years: “He’s more aggressive.” Casey said he wants him to be more aggressive in getting the ball to give Cade, who has the best defender on him, a rest every now and then. – 4:25 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Casey on Cory Joseph’s strong stretch of basketball: “He’s more aggressive, and I want him to be more aggressive. If Cade is having a tough time because he’s having the best defender on him, go get the ball and be aggressive.” – 4:24 PM

ICYMI: #Cavs trade targets. Whether they should consider dealing Collin Sexton or Isaac Okoro. Jose Calderon’s role. And the luxury tax component. It’s the latest Hey, Chris!

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Justise Winslow is in his back-to-basket bag, Luke Kennard is polishing that invite reel for Cleveland, and Brandon Boston continues to dunk. Borrego decides it is dammit time, has already brought Melo back in, and now calls timeout with 9:20 left.
Clippers lead 93-78. – 2:58 PM
