Everybody that is talking like we're already dead, please don't bother watching the rest of the season.

Christ, we have the best player on the planet and a top five PG in the league along with an assortment of other solid players around them. Anything can happen.

Bunch of chicken littles

Lebron James was able to will his team to two titles and beat superior teams

He's going to have to remind yall
 
As someone who has dislocated my shoulder several times (came up with Shump initially also), this latest report isn't news. All it's saying is that yes he dislocated. Those injuries they list are just the injuries that always have to occur for the ball to leave the socket. It's basically verifying that yes, he fully dislocated, as opposed to a sublux (quick partial out and back in on its own). The socket basically has to tear through, and chip some bone, to break out of the socket. The more often it happens, the smoother the path becomes.

So all the usual recovery schedule for a dislocation is at play. The real reason to be careful, and the risk he/the team need to weigh is another dislocation in short time. Data show that if you can avoid another dislocation in the few months after your first, you might regain stability without surgery. But if you redislocate while things are still loose and recovering, they might not fully tighten up, and then surgery is necessary for near-full recovery (never as good as new).

I don't think this news changes the timeline. But it does increase the longterm risk. Harnesses help; I wear this and it makes a huge difference:http://evs-sports.com/index.php/moto/support-belts/shoulder-support/sb04-shoulder-brace.html

Not sure if support would mess up his mechanics though. It comes down to how important his play is. I bet if a series starts to seem tight, he thinks hard about getting back in. It'll be real sore for a few days, definitely worse today than yesterday, but then it should start to feel normal unless they are keeping it completely immobilized, which it sounds like they aren't.

What else can we do?

We're used to this but it doesn't make it sting any less. Even I was starting to think this could be our year.

Two points of good news:

1) Our team going forward for the foreseeable future is really, really good.

2) ...we can still beat the Bulls.

I am going to be completely honest, I wasn't all that sold of us beating the Warriors or Spurs with a healthy team anyways. Not this year. I definitely thought it was possible.

Depth has been a big problem for us, but luckily it's something we can address in the off-season.

This team is going to be really, really, really good going into next year. But Dear God, STOP HATING CLEVELAND!
 
At least we have the Indians and Browns!!!

Last post of the day, I'll see myself out.
 
LeBron's keys to a championship comments repeating through my mind over and over, "we can't accomplish what we want to do without the big 3 playing at a high level."

This has to fuck with him mentally but at the same time there's a lot of time between now and the next series to deal with it and regroup with a new mentality. If this was going to happen, I'm glad it happened now instead of in the middle of a series with Chicago. Now we can plan ahead.

The season isn't over and even the best teams are struggling against inferior talent which the Cavs still have in spades.
 
All we need to do is put Miller, Marion, and Perkins into a time machine to about 2009. And we got this.

Seriously though. They need to play out of their minds.
 
They can win the East without him. The Finals? I don't know. This just sucks lol.

Welp, I don't see how Kevin Love leave after this, especially since this has been his longest run. I'm sure he wants to complete what he started here.

Also, the only team I'm concerned about is the Hawks and whatever team coming out of the West. I don't see us going far without Love, though, unless our older vets step up and play out of their minds.

These are the things that must happen for us to win a championship.
1. LeBron turns back the clock starts playing like 2012 LeBron when he won his 1st championship. Putting up 30/10/5

2. Kyrie not only plays like the 2nd best player in the east, but the breakout superstar of the NBA. Steph esque

3. Rose needs to be inconsistent the whole series vs. the Bulls. They go as he goes. If he's not playing like a superstar we can beat them.

4.The Wizards have to beat the Hawks. Dont know if we can beat the Hawks without Love.

5. Pray the Spurs lose to the Clippers.

6. Hope somehow the Rockets or Clippers upset the Warriors.

7. LeBron/Kyrie carry us home.



Thats whats needed if Love is out the entire playoffs. Its a long shot. But crazier things have happened.
 
That rat Olynyk crawled out his Boston sewer to give an interview,

"We were obviously fighting for the rebound. He grabbed my arm first. He clamped me and I clamped him back and we were wrestling for the ball. I tried to hold him away from it so that Avery (Bradley) could get it."

What a fucking liar, the only one with a chance at the ball was K-Love, they never "wrestled for the ball", although there was some one-sided wrestling going on.

I can't even bear to read the ESPN-NBA media today, all trying to cover this up and make it seem normal, like it was just part of the "playoff spirit", an unfortunate accident. Forget about all those "Boston bullying" articles after game three, bury them, it doesn't fit the new narrative. Windy is a piece of shit too.
I can't take it anymore, at least until tomorrow, lol.
