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

[Maximus]

This will be over by the end of the 1st quarter and completely unwatchable shortly after that. I have a real bad feeling about this one. Lebron and DWade will use Dion to mop the floor. Dion will shoot well under 40% and be lucky to score 8 pts.

If the Cavs win, I won't post for a month...book it.

I had us perfectly set up for victory. I was watching the game at the bar getting ready to take a month vacation from RCF. Then we collapsed. I knew someone must have jinxed my post.

I don't want to see Max post for a month

Keep your promises bitches

Quad = idiot

 

[Chardon]

I turned the game on with about 2 minutes left. Sorry.

 

[Walter White]

We deserved to win. Anyone who says we didnt was watching a different game.

So disappointing, but I'm so proud of how they fought all game. Remember we were up against a teram with 4 of the best players in the NBA.

Great effort.

Good job, good effort

 

[Chris]

this year Miami is a better team .

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.

You don't need a billion tables in every post ... :chuckles:

 

[Shakalu M.D.]

I haven't seen the game yet but I have it recorded. I know the Cavs lose a heartbreaker at the end. Is it worth it to watch this game and get my heart broken? Do the youngsters have a good game? That's basically all I'm watching for at this point with Kyrie out hurt.

you shuld watch it three times. at least once not looking at the ball at all but what everyone else is doing.

Watch it. It was a great game. I would have loved the win, but it was great watching the heat adjust and adjust to the Cavs. The whole team played really well and Gee was really aggressive. They are starting to really play together.

 

[Green Lantern]

It was a good game but the fact that the Cavs starting imploding bugged me..I could see Miami starting tom take over and I didn't think the outcome was favorable.
There was a stretch that the Cavs took too many quick , long outside shots.
That doomed them.

That's one of the (most frustrating) marks of a young team that's not used to winning. When they have a lead in the final minutes of the game they often panic and just try to preserve the lead instead of continuing the type of game that got them the lead in the first place. I hope they will watch the end of this game many times and learn from it.

Lebron should get a warning for that flop

I guess you mean this one.

[video=youtube;4VX2tAFPU88]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VX2tAFPU88&feature=youtu.be[/video]

Watch LeBron James fly backward with a yell, arms flailing. He wanted to take a charge on Dion Waiters in the Heat's weekend win over the Cavaliers. And he put some theatrics into the project.

But James received little contact from Waiters, and little love from the referees. In an instant he was back on his feet, playing again, as if nothing had happened.

No call.

And not a flop, either -- at least as deemed by the NBA...

Agree or disagree?

 

[Stark]

If Dion Waiters would of done that, it would of been a flop.

 

[jay_em]

If Dion Waiters would of done that, it would of been a flop.

Patrick Patterson agrees with you...although he reacted to NO contact.
