Game 13 | Cavs @ Heat | Saturday November 24, 7:30 PM EST

[PIP]

Holiday season... Watching LeBron... Just like old times...

 

[Soar]

The only thing im worried about is how much better team ball we're playing without Kyrie. His defense can't be that bad that it fucks up the unit as a whole.

I think the rest of the Cavs players start star watching Kyrie on offense. Kyrie does play quite a bit of one on one as well and is more of a scorer than assist guy.

 

[Goldin Brown]

Hahaha! Nice avatar, Pip.

 

[TopGun]

why did casspi only played 15 minutes in this game?
i thought he had quite a good game. should have played much more tonight

Scott doesn't like to deviate from his rotation schedule very much.

 

[QuadrupleDouble]

I'm not sure about his rotations not sucking period.

Probably by design for the tank

 

[Frank Reynolds]

Gibson's foul on Allen was the dagger. Don't let him get the ball up on the glass. Let Ray just waltz in and get a bunny of an AND1.

Or, I think back to the shitty foul calls Miami got in the first half. Those cheap flipping FT's are the difference in the game.

Getting lucky enough for Battier to get hurt, lucky enough for our clear path call Dion got, Gibsons air ball 3 and shot clock reset. Or Miami committing 20 turnovers. We're not going to be so lucky next time. I doubt Casspi gives us that kind of production again. He'll even Thompson played okay in this one.

We played hard enough to win this game. Sadly even with Kyrie, I don't think we'll have that kind of opportunity to beat Miami again.


This one was the one to win and we pissed away a 7 point lead in the blink of an eye. Couldn't even get a last second shot off. Ughhh

Too much dribbling, not enough scoring from Varejao.

 

[Rondo]

Honestly, if the refs wern't calling those flopping calls on Wade and other phantom fouls, we would have built a pretty comfortable lead. The heat know they got beat tonight if it wasn't for the refs sucking their dicks.

 

[Rich]

That one was painful. Pargo played well for the third straight game, but he had a couple of costly brain cramps in the last two minutes. Took a quick shot when we needed to run clock and then ran clock when we needed a quick shot. Killers.

 

[Rich]

We moved the ball for 46 minutes. We pounded it out front for 15 seconds before initiating plays in the final 2 minutes. It's like watching Pat Shurmur basketball. What are these dummies afraid of? This run out the clock/manage the game crap has really hurt local sports in Cleveland.

Play not to lose. All for one.

Yea this is wrong. Pargo's quick shot in the last two minutes was a damn killer. It led directly to Miami points.

 

[Stark]

Another game that we lost by less than five? And it was to the Heat?

Can I go kill myself yet?

 

[3 Ball...GOT IT]

Can I go kill myself yet?

Not until Andy gets injured and is out for the season

 

[Tornicade]

The Cavs are doing very well. ultimately they lost but those kind of things happen late in games to inexperienced ballclubs which the cavs are.

Casspi looked sensational tonight and hopefully its a pattern forming and not some fluke. Waiters took five shots inside the line. once again putting in a plus 40% performance from the three line. Then again Wade doesnt give ya many looks inside so being able to fall back on his three in those situations is good for a rookie to have.

Gibson had alot of open looks from the three. something he typically doesnt get. too bad his shot wasnt falling. Pargo did a good job at attacking the basket even though his shot was off. Thompson had a good game offensvely but not much in the form of rebounds. Cj had another quality night. thats 2 out of three games. nice to see the bench showing signs of life.

these cavs are alot more omcompetitive than last years team and are going in the right direction

looks at the ration between leading and trailing. its night and day.

Cavs had 6 wins after 13 games last year This years team seems more competitive and consistent despite having half the wins. thats because the starting lineup is considerably better.

 

[HoopChina]

i don't think the referees are fair enough. if boobie fouled on Ray Allen, Bosh and Wade would have fouled on Pargo, too. this is the best game the Cavs ever played after LeBron's leaving,refs ruined it. tough lose.

Best game? What about the game the Cavs beat them in Cleveland?

this wasthe first game the Cavs have actually been competitive against the heat relatively playing well.

that 2010 team had alot of veterans this was a much younger team.
