Game #34 Cleveland Cavaliers (19-14) vs. Dallas Mavericks (24-10) 1/04/14 1:00 PM EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I'm not going to lie. I'm a Blatt supporter. I was an opponent of the Kevin Love trade. Blatt's biggest flaw to me at this point is that his rotations seem rather desperate. His substitution patterns, especially when games start getting out of hand, seem to be grasping at straws. Joe Harris was almost ready to start according to many reports in the first month of the season and now we mysteriously just stopped seeing him unless Dion was complete trash and we were down by 15-20.

If anyone should be on the hot seat, it should be David Griffin. He dismantled our roster and constructed this mess. Maybe if LeBron had Wiggins he wouldn't have burned out so fast because Wiggins could defend for 3 quarters and let LBJ handle things in crunch time. AB would probably still suck, but he'd be a 5-10 minute player anyway. We still would have assets to move without that deal. Dion would have been more expendable for a true 3 and D guy or a rim protector.

Agree. Whatever Love gives you on the offensive side is given away on the other end. His box scores look great on paper at times but if you watch the games it's a mess. I'm not sure there is a team out there with championship goals that would give full value for him.
 
Now I realize why Blatt went on air with Fred and AC. He knew we were going to get beat down today and so he wanted to calm the fans before that happened.
 
Let's be real. Love and Kyrie are like having 2 Melo's on one team.

Great offensive players, but guys who give up as much as they put in and just aren't winning players.

Lebron is a max player. Love and Kyrie are the contracts that kill franchises because they aren't complete players but are paid like one.

I would take a Millsap or Gasol at half the price of Love every day.
 
We literally look even worse than the Love-era TWolves without Lebron.

Even though Kyrie gave hope to the franchise when we lost Lebron, he has proven his doubters right in not being able to make anyone better when he is on the floor. It is going to be a rough ride until we get Bron back.
 
I'm not sure why you guys are so depressed? Love is showing everyone what he can do if you use it. We already knew our D was shit and having Lebron and Varejao out weren't going to improve the situation. That isn't a surprise. Dallas is the best offense in the league, so don't wet your panties over that.

Kyrie is fine. He is having an off game...big deal. We know what he can do most of the time. Love tearing it up is very encouraging to me. I really think Love should be a our #1 option, then Lebron, then Kyrie when he is feeling it. That spreads the touches out and gives us good spacing. Once we get a center or two in here, the defense will improve just because it has to.
 
Delly can't dribble. They're guarding him as soon as he crosses half court and Delly can't shake them. We can't get into any offense because of that.

This is more than 1 off game for Kyrie. It's been a few.
 
I think Dirk could play until he's 45.
