Some GIFS

Is a Miley curse worse than a Biebs curse?

 

[Dribble]

If Shump is okay, I wouldn't hurry to pull him back from the starting lineup to the bench, even though i love JR.

Keys to winning:

-Aggressive LeBron and Kyrie
-3 pointers
-Bigs stay out of foul trouble
-The Headband

Agreed if he healthy shump has earned this starting spot. Might help prevent jr from pressing too much if he comes off the bench.

Really interested to see how jr shump and Lebron at the 2,3,4 work defensively as the switching really disrupted the half court sets last game.

I think the key this series to get to 100 points. Cavs then just need to make it hard for the bulls team to get open looks and they should be able to keep them in hand

 

[LeGOAT]

Just win 1 of the next 2 and we'll be fine, they wont win in Cleveland again.

 

[cescott]

I'd like to see us wrap this up in 5 or 6 games and avoid a game 7 with Rose having more than 1 day of rest.

 

[All4One1ForAll]

That LeBron puppet gif reminded me of the old LeBron Nike commercials. I miss those.

This one was the best:

 

[Otsego Mar]

I'm not so sure you keep Shump in the starting line-up. I heard someone say JR had been practicing with the 2nd unit, so it wouldn't shock me if they did keep starting Shump going forward.

I don't think we played especially well in game 2 - I think it was more of Chicago laying an egg.

I'd like to see a little more from TT/Moz on offense.

 

[bleedwineandgold03]

Lets goooooo

 

[Cayman13]

Key to Winning:

The Pipe.

 

[Plaxicofan7]

Smith coming back is huge for us But with how well Shump has been this series, I don't see any way he goes back to the bench.

They won on our home floor, time to repay the favor. Go Cavs! #ALLinCLE

 

[FritzLn]

i just don't want JR playing with the 2nd unit, dribbling the air out of the ball and taking horrible shots with added responsibility

Kyrie or LeBron will still be in the game at all times, so I don't see him handling the ball that much.

Having JR in the second unit will prevent that awful Kyrie plus 4 bad guys unit though.

 

[Xearoii]

Is JR Smith eating that guys food? Lol

 

[Binkster]

Cavs are 2 point dogs for tomorrow night. That's fine, I'd prefer it that way.

LeBron plays better on the road, anyway. I expect 30 more from him tomorrow.
