Game 5 | Knicks @ Cavaliers | November 4th, 2015 | 8:00 PM EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
We need to know how to struggle and grind through such games and win through defense. It's a good sign that we were able to do it.
No reason to worry, our shots will go back to falling next game and everything will be fine.
 
Shot looks ugly but this has been the best LeBron has looked defensively in years. Especially this early. Hope he can keep it up.
 
Defense was nightmarish in the 1st quarter but improved dramatically after that, just like the Philly game.

Overall, the defense has been great to start the season. It's our ability to make shots that is keeping us from really rolling through teams.
 
Lots of bitching about LeBron...

but he came into the game with the Cavs down a couple in the fourth after struggling all night, and scored 9 big points and played really good D and we won the game.

Even in a game where we were down most of the game and had to make a sizeable comeback to win, LeBron only played 35 minutes. We're doing a really good job managing his minutes,
 
Man, I just cannot get interested in the regular season this year.

The results aren't really in the balance in the majority of these games. This team will win 60 games or close to it and cruise through the Eastern conference and the season just really doesn't matter until the finals.
 
nice win! K-Love getting a double double...and TT getting a double double coming off the bench!

Pretty much how the team sees it as well. Teams like the Sixers and Knicks are not really in the same league with the Cavs, so a mediocre overall effort is enough. It's also smart to save up for the playoffs.

Meanwhile Delly and TT will play balls-out every game.
 
cavs played for 1 quarter tonight and won by double digits.

in other news hubie brown still sucks as an announcer.
 
I think that's misleading. THe Cavs played hard on defense for 3 quarters. Not making open looks doesn't equate to not playing hard.
 
It's one game out of 82. Hell, one quarter out of one game in 82. With no JR, Shump, or Kyrie. With no one else but Mo's shot falling tonight. It's ok if the best player in the NBA over the last decade wants to take over or dictate how the game is going to end and the results are not really arguable.

That's your opinion. You could have stated that without quoting me, because it wasn't needed. It made zero sense for LeBron to ISO when he's playing garbage, and having a god awful shooting night. It's best to keep the ball moving.
