Let it all out. The Cavaliers Rant Thread

[Kevin Ollie]

I know this is a little thing, but I hate Mike Miller on this team. From the moment he signed it was such a mis-step. LeBron's buddy that doesn't fit this team's needs. All year he's made two shots inside the three point line. He's shooting 29% on threes outside of his 7 for 8 night against Brooklyn. The only other thing he does on the court is foul. He's pretty much just been James Jones. Did we really need two of this guy?

 

[CavsHomer]

Sorry for this off topic question but where is our game thread?

 

[mhi]

We deathly need more seasoned vets on this team, preferably those with championship exp. Am talking if you're not named Waiters, Irving, Love or Thompson; you shouldn't be on the roster unless you've played at least 6-7yrs in the league.

What??? MM has been great. Very supportive. Always up cheering. Doesn't complain about minutes and comes in giving his all. What more do you want?

The defense isn't showing improvement. Any ideas that this team could squeak into the top 10 with clever schemes by year's end is dead. 30 games in and they are solidly a bottom 10 defensive team. In order to get into the top 10 they'd basically have to be damn near the best defense in the league from this point on.

Now, numbers only tell part of the story, so if they make some moves and improve significantly, then it won't really matter how bad they've been on defense the first 30 games. But if this is the group that we take into the playoffs then the odds of winning a title are very close to zero. No team has won a title being this bad on defense.

On the bright side, there's been a killing to be made betting first half over opponent props. It's just an autobet at this point as they don't even attempt to play defense until the 2nd half. They are either losing at half, or up 68-62

Let's drink to hoping they are just being super lazy and will come to play when it counts. And if not, it will at least hurt less.

The funny thing about rants is that they're suppose to make you feel psychologically better about said rant topic in the hope that said rant topic will improve next time around.

As such, it's not even worth typing up an extensive rant at this point. I just don't know where this team goes next after this.

 

[LeShaq]

This team is a pretender. It's just sad to see how exposed they can be against a league doormat in Detroit.

 

[roozy]

This is what happens when a GM only thinks about offense and not defense, the way this team is put together its like someone was playing nba2k.

Except on the video game you score more than 80 points against the hapless Pistons

Yup.

Not even gonna bother.

This team is mediocre and it just shocks me that a team with this talent could be mediocre as fuck. Can't believe how excited we were in the offseason. Man, was that fun. Then reality hits. We cannot have nice things. Ever.

Goddamit, I'm pissed.

Seeing as this was the first game after Christmas, I'll bet a lot of families splurged for tickets for this game, being the only game they can afford. And the 1 game they can afford to go, these pussies decide to no show. Fans deserve a refund.

 

[Dylan Windler's Mom]

Blow it up. Build around Dion

 

[nikolajz1]

ugh I really just dislike everything about LeBron this time around. He is entitled, lazy, and thinks he's a leader because of rings when in fact it was Wade and Haslam that were the glue on that Miami team.
