Maybe you should watch other basketball than Cleveland.

They clearly wouldn't have been in this situation and are the defending champs so fuck making excuses for this team

Maybe you should be a Warriors fan then.

Who gives a fuck whose injured with an 11 man rotation? If you aren't sick of the injured excuse idk what to tell you. This isn't the first game like this and the way our guys are preparing it won't be the last. Inferiror teams will continue to hang around. And the reason they do is because of effort. I'm honestly sick of watching the shit. I will have to start tuning in past halftime of the team truly isn't gonna try until then any fucking way

Man if you are too much of a spaz to not be able to sit down and enjoy what will be one of the greatest seasons in Cavaliers history for the next 50-100 years just because our point differential is only +7.2(which is EXTREMELY FUCKING GOOD WITHOUT YOUR BEST DEFENDER AND 2nd BEST PLAYER), you need to take a fuckin xanax and go watch cartoons.

Why do people get mad when posters reference the Warriors? They're clearly our main competition and the primary team standing in the way of this city's first championship in 50+ years. Of course, people on here are going to compare us to them.

Well what's funny is Shoes I think was the first person in the thread to mention the Warriors when he said something along the lines of "FUCK STEPH CURRY." No one seemed to care then.

Guys.. hang on a sec.. everybody take a deep breath..

@Kizzle is kinda right though, Cavs haven't been playing great basketball every game or even most games.

I gotta agree with him and @kookoo we're playing like shit and some of these games haven't been won the right way.

Just don't feel good about playing Lebron 45 minutes in a random game in November when it's the second night of a back to back, we are already 8-1, and it doesn't even feel like the team wants to win it.

I know some people think we are paranoid about the minutes thing, but the guy is our only hope of a championship. He's the fucking franchise, basically.

If I need a Xanax you guys need something stronger for you to realize this team doesn't have the same swagger as last year after the all star break. We literally brought back everyone we needed and this team looks like shit for 3 quarters out of every game. Yeah Kyrie and Shumpert rock but they wouldn't be fixing this bullshit we're seeing right now

I wouldn't put Kevin physically at 100% until around late December early January in terms of full strength/muscle memory/reps with that shoulder.

Honestly, I think even that's generous. Especially on jumpers.

I wouldn't say we've been playing like shit but we're not playing like champions, that's for sure.

The funny thing is I've been beating the drum the last few games about our poor play. Tonight was probably the BEST we've played since Miami. Better team than we've been playing, on the road, on the second night of a back to back. But because it ended in an L, more people seem to be upset.

The outcome means little at this point. It's the process that matters. Tonight was better than, say, the last game we played against the Knicks or the game against Utah.

I agree... we're not. I think we've seen some truly great basketball from these guys, and then we've seen some headscratching shit basketball.

I'm not sure why that is, who is to blame, wtf is going on... I dunno the answer, and I'll be honest there.

Kizzle said:

I know I'm not the only one. People say we should just be happy with the win. But I expect more from this squad. Imo I feel if we were playing hard we shouldn't even be in close games. Yet I get bashed for expecting greatness from my squad

Is don't get it

We have Mo as our starting point guard while Kyrie is out. He's more than serviceable. I would say he's better than half the point guards in the league. Our perimeter defense is weak, but it's really the turnovers and the (piss poor) shooting that is killing us. I'm sure we'll get some hate thrown our way, but we've seen the potential this team has. How smoothly they can play together. They need a real attitude alteration. And Mozgov needs playing time.

I'm not blinded by our record. I see the team compared to last year and our team put up against the Warriors. And flat out it doesn't look good. We are sucking until the 4th quarter and the only reason we don't blow dick in the 4th is because LeBron is averaging 14 PPG in the 4th

Still think Bucks should of kept Knight instead of Williams, add Monroe and I don't really like that team currently.

As for the game, good thing it's November, instead of April or I would of cared, instead imma watch that Ronda fight.

Knight's cap hold would've been too high.

I don't understand. In all games this season, we've looked like the same team [without Kyrie] that played last season in the playoffs.. except Kevin is contributing and not everybody is hot from three.

Rich said:

I'm pretty tired of reading that the team isn't playing hard most of these games until late. They've defend well over the course of the entire season to this point. Missing FTs and wide open 3s isn't an indication that they aren't playing hard, yet it is the biggest reason these games have been closer than they should have been. The team is playing hard, they aren't making a fucking thing, though.

Agreed. KYrie and Shump being back will help with that. Furthermore, sometimes it just takes time to find a rhythm. Last season we were 19-20 and then went on a 32-3 tear because we got healthy, filled our roster out, and found a rhythm. This year, we already have the roster down, and despite lacking consistent rhythm and health, we're looking like we're probably going to win 56+ games. \

At some point, it might be next weekj and it might be next month, J.R. is going to shoot 50% from three for like a 12 game stretch and average like 19 points a game for three weeks and all of the pipe memes will return in full force. Shumpert will come back and he'll have all-stars shooting 5/22/ Kyrie's going to drop 50 at least once. LeBron's goin to have some crazy stat line triple doubles like 12P/18R/22Assists.

This year is already starting to be magical. Appreciate it, people. Do you remember how much it sucked when we topped out at 33-49 just a few short years ago? And that was after we TRIED to put a team that could win games together?

Please don't act like spoiled little Laker fan brats just becayse we've had 8 great years(and more to come) of LeBron and we have a young exciting powerful nucleus around him that will help us compte now and actually maybe even be good once LeBron isn't superman anymore(but he still is superman, and he's not even close to losing that cape. Dude's got 4 more years left just killing people. He still flies all over the court and might be the strongest guy in the NBA.
