Game 23 | Cavs @ Pacers | December 12, 2012 | 7:00PM

[Tornicade]

the starters sucked and Scott didnt play them. we just sucked tonight. waste of a decent effort by the bench. one day perhaps they could all play well at the same time

 

[Ohio]

Gee & Varejao both O-ferd from the floor tonight. Yikes.

 

[Futuredome]

When Waiters comes back, time for a AV break I suppose. Then when AV comes back, Irving and Waiters can rotate being out.

 

[ice cream man]

Our offense was running CJ off screens the whole game. Kyrie is the only one out there who can handle it, but he just stood there and passed to the wing. Hardly attacked at all.

 

[Tornicade]

Irving is back from a long layoff. He probably had no legs after a back to back.

The the starters as a collective all put in about 40 something odd minute last night.

overall Irvings defense was a bit more disciplined and it was a strong effort by the bench as a whole

on to the next game.

 

[Futuredome]

What is the target number of wins this year? 21?

 

[catfish]

They should refund 1/82 of a league pass subscription for having to watch that game. That was not professional basketball. Why is Irving usually out of shape. Does he not use the elliptical when he is sitting out with an injury?

 

[Birdy89]

I frankly don't think this team is good enough to intentionally tank or not tank.

What we saw tonight though is fucking bullshit and should be called out as such.

To get up by 16 points in the late second and then lose the game by 15 looking like they had zero interest in playing basketball that second half is embarrassing.

People can deal with losing, but the level of effort was shameful.

 

[MGMT]

You know, I wouldn't give a shit about this if it were consistent throughout the year, but last night made this hard to swallow, if that makes sense.

 

[Birdy89]

Why is Irving usually out of shape.

That serious finger injury impaired the ability of his legs to work that whole time so he couldn't exercise.

They said he did running drills the entire time he was out. He was SUPPOSED to be in good shape.

Did Scott tell him to drive the tank tonight? I just don't understand how you give 0 fucks. One shot that was funny was him yawning on the bench...

 

[Thelorn]

Kyrie should look into triathlons in the offseason.

 

[MGMT]

Kyrie should look into triathlons in the offseason.

He would probably break a nail during cycling and be out 4-6 weeks

 

[The Process God]

The tank's back on schedule just as planned!

Scott ran 20 minutes of Donald Sloan to one minute of jeremy Pargo, and played both Luke Walton and Samardo Samuels significant minutes. niether Sloan, Walton, nor Samuels saw a full minute against the Lakers. So if you want to know how Scott is driving the tank, you dont really need to look too close at Kyrie.
