    I'll give IT the benefit of the doubt, to be honest.

    That locker room is a mess. They need to say things like that to get over losses. I'm sure they're tired of answering everything with "we just didn't have it tonight."

    LOL. Yea I’m sure that’s all it was. I was watching with a bunch of NBA fans and I was the only rox one there. It was pretty unanimous that we were just toying with them in every possible way. I mean...when Ryno dunks on you it says a lot about how versatile you must have played

    He's saying there's nothing tough about at least trying to defend the perimeter, which the Cavs basically opted out of for most of the evening.

    Verdict = not a diss

    Guy is a cancer. Has way too big a mouth right now for his level of play.

    I don't know if he meant to say the Rockets aren't tough, but they are. Tucker, Luc, CP3, and even Green have brought a toughness to this team that they didn't have last season. Hell, even EG is showing a little more grit this year with all of his drives to the hoop(although I wish he'd quit yelling for a foul call every time).

    IT is starting to talk too much when he doesn't have any room to. Instead of playing with a chip on his shoulder he thinks he's entitled now

    Did you guys even read the paragraph? They asked IT if it was a toughness issue in the Cleveland locker room, which is why he said we can’t say it’s a toughness issue. Yes he did say I don’t know what’s so tough about that but his point was about his team; he did not knock our toughness.

    Stop changing narratives.

    You would think when you are 5'7 you would be the trying harder than anyone else on defense

    IT sucks...he really does. I feel bad for him. Kyrie for IT will go down as one of the most lopsided trades in the history of the game. The dude falls on the floor just trying to kick it back out after penetrating to the elbow.

    I agree with this... not really much, though perhaps a slight backhand.

    But remember how much trash IT was talking last season?



    Yesterday felt goooooood.
