Game 10 | Cavs (8-1) @ Bucks (4-5) | November 14, 2015 | 8:30pm EST

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.

You come so close to a championship, you'd think they'd play with a chip on their shoulders. But now it seems like Golden State is the team that lost in the finals, because they're putting in the effort. I am really interested to see how the team plays at full strength.

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

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.

Mo Williams is not better than half of the starting point guards in the league. As a back-up, yes, but he's not playing as a back-up at the moment.

I swear when we win this forum is like:

Yeah our team record doesn't really do a good job of showing how we've played. Let's be honest with ourselves, we've been able to claw our way to wins most of the time just off of pure talent. And in most of those cases, it's because LeBron was able to take over and will us to victory down the stretch after being down near double digits.

Our schedule has also been god awful, and this shit isn't gonna fly against better teams. Hell, it didn't fly tonight.

And don't even use the injuries as an excuse. We're talented enough without Kyrie and Shumpert to still show a semblance of an offense throughout the entire game and give some quality, consistent effort on defense. And hell, we might as well start playing as if this is the roster we'll be contending with. Don't assume we're going to be fully healthy come June, because we know how unlikely that is. You gotta fight through it anyways.

Fair enough on the top 15, but he's still a starting quality point guard.

 

[Tlyons]

I'm upset.

Title shot is over just like that.

The Bucks just won the ship...right?

Well they celebrated like it.

I know literally 1 thing about the NBA, and it's the salary cap

 

[Benedict_Boozer]

Not surprised. I knew this would be a loss after the first quarter when the Bucks had like 24 shots and we had like 11 early in the game. They came out balls to the wall effort wise and just pounded us on the board so bad it was clear we just weren't matching that intensity.

We tried to steal it late and likely would have if we could clean up our ft shooting.

Bucks deserved this one. They made shots and hustled their asses off. Tip your hat.

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 eery game. Yeah Kyrie and Shumpert rock but they wouldn't be fixing this bullshit we're seeing right now

A guy on our team with with 4 MVP's and 2 rings knows that November swagger is meaningless.

Ask Gregg Popovich about the ratio of championship rings to fucks given about November swagger and how that correlates.

We're tied for the second best record in the entire fucking NBA without two starters, one being an elite all-star level player.

We are going to rip streaks off of 7,9,12, maybe even 14-15 wins where we decimate some of the best teams this league has to offer, and we're going to also barely scrape together a couple of ugly wins in each of those streaks,

It's the ebb and flow of the game of basketball.

Guys if it makes you feel any better, Jarrett Jack is currently shitting on the Warriors.

This is also what the Warriors look like without Klay Thompson.

 

[TitleTown]

I just think a lot of people are butt hurt that ESPN is riding the Warriors dick, and are jealous that the Cavs aren't getting sucked off by the media.

I don't give a fuck if our wins are ugly. We didn't get our shit together until after January last year.

We have 1 goal and 1 goal only: Get healthy, stay healthy.

When our shooting turns a corner, and if we take care of the ball a bit better, we will be demolishing teams. I'm perfectly happy that we're getting ugly wins while we shake off the rust.

 

[noisymicrophone]

I'm fine with the loss - we have not played well as of late in wins and I don't want bad habits to build where we think we can play lethargic in 3 and a half quarters, turn it up the last 6 mins and expect a win.

The loss just sucks because LeBron had to play 45 mins and we should be keeping his minutes down.

Would cheer me up if the Brooklyn Nets upset the Warriors tonight but...it's the fucking Nets. Of course they'll probably screw it up.

Who would have ever guessed a championship-caliber team would look mortal missing one of their All-Stars...
