After the big trade Cleveland was short handed tonight so Korver played most of the game and scored 30 points! After trading off half the team Cleveland was able to beat Atlanta tonight 123 to 107. Ditching Isaih Thomas was a great move. Thomas looks like an old man when he walks. Tyrone Lue's hot seat cooled off a little but its still red hot.

Getting rid of Isaiah Thomas was addition by subtraction for Cleveland, he was a bad fit for them in the locker room.

And with a new team, the Cavaliers roll into Boston on Paul Pierce night and blow the 2nd seed Celtics out.

No doubt the best day of Korver's already storied career. If Korver can bomb 3s against the Globetrotters in the finals he would be pretty officially famous.

Ended up with 14 same as he had in the last game against Boston

The past 3 games have been rough for Korver. He has been missing most of his shots and defensively he is an easy mismatch for most Celtic and Warrior players. Win or loose no way LaBron is going to sign up for another season with this Cleveland crew.

Another tough night for Korver in game 3. Korver could not make a shot to save his life. Korver was putting out an A+ effort in but it just wasn't working out. This was a close hard fought game and there was just no place for a player who couldn't score or defend and Tyrone Lue had him on a short leash. Clearly Cleveland could of won last night if Korver had been able to step up and deliver 3's.

Korver looked really bad last night. The only time I saw him do something right, Durant Jayed right in his face, even though the shot defense was pretty solid on that play.

Yeah I agree about Korver's defense on that play. I only watched about 1/2 of the game, but Korver was solid on that play. Durant was just in a zone last night.

Two excellent shooters went cold. And GSW just remembered they had a third excellent shooter. Such an incredible team.

He is completely frazzled. He even forgot twice to take the ball out and throw it into Lebron after the Warriors scored. Lebron was looking at him with that "Are you kidding me" look.

Korver was never brought in again after that disaster until late in the 3rd quarter when it was garbage time. I would be surprised if Tyrone Lue or Kyle Korver is around Cleveland next year if Lebron leaves. Lebron is thinking why am I not on the Warriors team instead of this Cleveland team.

Report: Cavs Actively Looking to Trade George Hill and Kyle Korver
“The Cleveland Cavaliers are actively looking to move point guard George Hill and sharpshooter Kyle Korver this offseason, league sources told Amico Hoops on Thursday.

“The Cavs are facing a rebuild with LeBron James’ departure. The franchise wants to unload Hill’s massive contract and, ideally, acquire draft picks in exchange for Korver, sources said.”

Anywhere is better for him to finish his career than the dumpster fire in Cleveland. It will be good for Donovan Mitchell to have a square up shooter like him.

I admittedly do not follow the NBA much if any but wasn't he in Utah for a few season earlier on in his NBA carrier?
For the record  NEBUGEATER does not equal BUGEATER    !!!!!!!

A ding bat sportscaster on ESPN was talking about Korver replacing Kerry for the speech at Creighton the other day and she thought Korver was retired. Nobody corrected her. Worse still was yesterday when Julie Cornell was talking with other newscasters about how bad the Missouri river in Davenport IA was flooding. Nobody corrected her. Everyone just sits there and pretends they did not just say that.
