Just one of those games where #Cavs Jarrett Allen is EVERYWHERE and doing EVERYTHING. Has 12 points and 3 rebounds. Giving Ayton some problems with his activity level. – 7:28 PM

Devin Booker heating up – 7:22 PM
Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
#Cavs Denzel Valentine has kind of become Lamar Stevens — as in the sub that J.B. Bickerstaff calls on when he doesn’t like the team’s defensive intensity and energy. Valentine is in the game in the first six minutes. – 7:22 PM

#Cavs Darius Garland is a go.
The starting five for tonight against the Suns: Darius Garland, Isaac Okoro, Lauri Markkanen, Dean Wade and Jarrett Allen – 6:37 PM
Tony Mejia @MejiaDinero
Lots of uncertainty exists as far as who is a go and who’s out on Thanksgiving eve. It sound like LeBron is in, AD is OUT and Darius Garland is good to go. SGA is OUT for OKC, which makes me giddy about a certain rookie’s assist + rebound prop. From @WagerTalk #NBA Tip-Off Show: pic.twitter.com/mXjFeAZCVl – 6:37 PM

“He’s a really good passer, I think first and foremost, and, obviously, on the outside looking in, you don’t get to see all of those things.”

“You can see the guys have bought in and all they care about is each other and winning. I think that’s the, from a coach’s standpoint that’s what you love about the game and that’s you respect so much about Monty and the guys over there.” #Cavs coach J.B.

Having a job.
Free #NBA socks.

Already read an advance PDF in the summer, so I know @SethPartnow’s book is as great as you’d expect, but excited to dig into the hard copy from the publisher. This is denser, both physically and because it includes @Tim Bontemps‘ foreword: https://t.co/SD5WVYWba5 pic.twitter.com/ky4v26Jyr5 – 5:05 PM

Just finished the recently released “Jerome Kersey: Overcoming the Odds.” Kerry Eggers (@Kerry Eggers) wrote the book Kersey deserved, full of emotion and insight on the unlikely path from Longwood College to 11 yrs as a #Blazers favorite and a title with the #Spurs.

After #Lakers loss to Knicks, Shaquille O’Neal said if they “keep playing like this,” thinking they can flip switch, they’ll either be 8th in West and “get blown out” by Golden State or 7th and have same results versus Utah.
So is he saying #Suns won’t finish 1st or 2nd in West? pic.twitter.com/qOsDJ6OgtS – 4:04 PM

Chris Paul is shooting 47% from the field despite only having taken FIVE shots at the rim in 17 games, per @Ben Falk. Five.
That’s with a 32% mark from 3 too that will go up.
He’s at 54% efficiency on midrange shots, which would be a career best. – 3:05 PM
