Game #34 Cleveland Cavaliers (19-14) vs. Dallas Mavericks (24-10) 1/04/14 1:00 PM EST

Kevin Love looked like Van Damme in Bloodsport on that slow motion replay of the And-1.

Love looks really good. Wish LeBron was out there going to war with him

I'm not going to lie. I'm a Blatt supporter. I was an opponent of the Kevin Love trade. Blatt's biggest flaw to me at this point is that his rotations seem rather desperate. His substitution patterns, especially when games start getting out of hand, seem to be grasping at straws. Joe Harris was almost ready to start according to many reports in the first month of the season and now we mysteriously just stopped seeing him unless Dion was complete trash and we were down by 15-20.

If anyone should be on the hot seat, it should be David Griffin. He dismantled our roster and constructed this mess. Maybe if LeBron had Wiggins he wouldn't have burned out so fast because Wiggins could defend for 3 quarters and let LBJ handle things in crunch time. AB would probably still suck, but he'd be a 5-10 minute player anyway. We still would have assets to move without that deal. Dion would have been more expendable for a true 3 and D guy or a rim protector.


The deals we made seemed to indicate we were going all in right now. Well guess what, our hand could have been stronger. Now we're just hoping we can get lucky if you could put it in poker terms.

Our team isnt good. If you take Dirk off the Mavs they still run us. You take Lebron off the Cavs and we don't win more than 40 games. I'm sick of the excuses, we just don't have any depth, we don't play with any urgency, and they do the same shit night after night. They act like come April they will just be able to turn it on when they've proven all year they don't have that extra gear.

god damn unwatchable

 

[LeShaq]

Progress for Love. He did not steal that rebound from Marion to pad his stats.

 

[Soar]

Well this was fun.

 

[Real Deal]

Wonder if Dion is over there screaming And 1!

Dude is a headcase and should be dealt for Rudy Gobert!!! Sadly, Utah would laugh.

 

[Flight479]

Frustrating game. I don't get how you can play such bad defense. What is the scheme?

 

[brownsbuck6]

No I won't. I'll quote another member.

You're just simply being an asshole. I never used the word win. Not once. Go find someone else to be a dick to. I tried being reasonable.

Totally agree. Blatt's rotations annoy me, but the personnel really....we are lacking in a few areas, severely, and he's probably grasping at straws. I know basketball and not sure what I would do in his situation. There's literally no one on the bench to go to.

THANK GOD FOR URBAN MEYER

So far the only positive from this game is Kevin Love. I really want to see more bench bigs play though. You can't split 96 minutes between Love and TT.
