if LeBron and Shaq are not sitting on the bench for the entire 4th quarter, this has been another failure of disturbing proportions...

You're probably going to be disappointed then. I think this one will be won with a late surge.

Hopefully they still don't have the "we'll win as long as we showup" attitude.

Something tells me that attitude went out the door with whatever occurred immediately after the secret meeting between the top dogs in the Cavs organization.

God I hope so. I truly believe that attitude is as big a problem to this team as the absence of Delonte, confusion on defense, and lack of rhythm on offense. Even with those problems, if you bring it every night with the amount of talent on this team, you can find ways to win. It's complete bullshit how we looked disinterested for most of the Toronto game. That's completely unacceptable and basically the reason we lost that game. We had intensity and effort in that 3rd quarter and then lost it and let the game get out of control again.

We need to establish the attitude that we had last year: we're coming to destroy the opposing team so we can have fun on the bench for the final 12 minutes.

So was this attitude shift implemented before or after the team got bombed at Lebrons Toronto party?

I am just really hoping that someone has pulled AV aside and told him to stop trying to create and just make the simple play. no spinning and looping, just pass the ball.

 

[Damage]

Flynn is a sweet addition to the team. I have no idea why they picked Rubio, but if they had used that pick well, they would be a decent team.

If they took Flynn and Curry, that's a pretty sweet young foundation: Flynn-Curry-Love-Jefferson.

During it, while Mo was sitting in LeBron's lap and stroking his back.

Well, I feel you, but definitely wouldn't expect that.

If Lebron and Shaq are sitting on the bench the entire 4th quarter, I'd call it a success of epic proportions because a turnaround like that would be unbelieveable, TWolves or not.

 

[Seize]

Will finally get to watch you guys play tonight since I'm not busy or sleeping. LBJ probably has seen the criticism and doubt, so I expect him to come out and send a message by having 40+ point game. No one on the Timberwolves can even remotely guard LBJ...:chuckles:

 

[LondonCav]

If we lose this... RCF will be in meltdown

Just win this please, don't care by how many just get the W

[Thunder]
