Game 15: Cleveland (11-3) at Toronto (9-6)

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Did you miss when LeBron/Love came out up 5 at the end of the third just prior to that? And the lead was gone in seconds?

Have you watched any of the last 10 games?

James came out while the team was up 3. The "horrible" lineup never went down more than 5.
LeBron and Love in the 4th were down 10 most of the time.
 
Toronto played good D.

Dribble penetration killed our defense: no Delly, Shumpert, and Moz hurt us this game for sure

Lebron didn't seem to have it tonight: first game in a long time that I thought he looked liked last year's early season Lebron. Sure Carroll did a decent job on him but he was off.

4th quarter offense: Love and JR missed open looks but really felt that they didn't try to post up either Lebron or Love. When they couldn't get a bucket and you have two post players. Take it inside

Finally, the refs calls a bad game. Lots of head scratching calls followed by makeup calls. When was the last time only 2 players shot FT's??
 
Uhh...one more injured starter and we would have been there last year in the Finals. Plus, Shump was technically playing with an injury. I wouldn't underestimate how injury prone this roster is. We've got to learn to fight through them.


Yeah we gotta learn how to fight through them, win every game, and be perfect at every aspect of basketball 24/7 .
If we don't do that the experts of the panic brigade of the RCF ( who totally know more about basketball than Caoch Blatt) will proclaim we suck , and like their name panic about the Cavs' playoff hopes.
 
With the rest of Cleveland sports teams sucking major ass right now, Hell yes we have a right to be mad after a loss. When we know we will shit on teams come mid January.
 
James came out while the team was up 3.

Alright, either way it's been going on for too long now. The lineup has been dominated game in and game out even by inferior teams. Go back and watch previous games.

Luckily this isnt something that will be dealt with after Kyrie's back.
 
Eh, see my post on page 1. This had L written all over it before the tip. Shoul have been a rest everyone game.
 
How is it hard? Rotate their asses out at separate times. There's no reason for them both to be out. I can't take another Cunningham, JR, RJ, Jones, and Andy. It just doesn't work.

You are simply wrong.
In the 2nd half, that lineup worked ok and only went -2. While LeBron and Love playing together the entire 4th quarter were -10 most of the time, before JRs meaningless threes at the end there.

Just checked... LeBron/Love out in first quarter down 1... came back down 7.

Would go back and look at past games as well, but don't have the time. It's the same result

Disappointed sure?
But mad seriously?

We lost by 4 on the road to a pretty good team with a bunch of key players out . I don't see whats rage inducing about that.

Of course it will be, it's a weak lineup. We are missing 4 main guys from the team, of course we will be playing some shit lineups.
Point is that wasn't the problem in tonight's loss. They did fairly well, and the starters are who shit the bed the most.
 
This team is really good despite a bad loss short handed


This is just like last year. We won't see this team full power until most likely after the ASG

after that it'll be great

We're 11-4 right now and have blown out the likes of Miami, Indianna, and Memphis. I don't see what not at least "very good " about the team right now.
 
Tired of fans playing the care less attitude card on losses. That's the problem with Cleveland fans. Losses should ruin your day. That's a true fan.
