Well I went to the game tonight and have a much different view than you guys hahaha I was really pissed that Scott didn't play any of the starters in the fouth quarter. Like seriously, I came just to see Irving and the Cavs fight in the fourth quarter, and I didn't get a lickin' of that taking place... Irving looked ticked off from the pre-game to the end of the game, where he was eventually just sitting all the way back on the bench, not even watching the game, clearly ticked as hell. I was really ticked too, Kyrie, trust me...

BTW Speights looked really good and like he was in control of the offense on the floor. I wouldn't mind keeping him around if his contract doesn't suck, but idk it.

Yea I was ticked Kyrie didn't play at all in the second half. There were some questionable calls that he was getting super pissed about. He was visibly angry and jabbing at the ref after the one play where TT was thrown to the ground and it wasn't called. Then Detroit had a 3v1 to the basket. Ky looked frustrated the whole game.

Searching high and low for positives, I really liked seeing Livingston compete tonight. In the past three weeks I think he has become more aggressive and finally looks comfortable with his role. I don't know if his knee was feeling exceptionally good but if he plays like that the rest of the year, I'd like to see him back on the roster for the next year or two.

Any chance the guys were looking ahead to the OKC game tonight? God I hope so.

Well, to be fair, I think Zeller TRIES on both ends, he's just bad.

Tyler is physically overwhelmed low in the paint ...just wonder if even if he gains some bulk if he has the mental toughness. He gets bullied, and I don't see much "fight back" in him most games ...which is troubling. Quite a few of these NBA guys are just flat punking him, and he just takes it without anything coming back at them from him.. can't do that in this league.

Honestly, I'm sure that's a big part of it ...but still not acceptable. As a head coach you just can't tolerate such blatant lack of effort. Fans pay good money every game to see you play ..you owe it to them to give them your best every night. They are the reason you are rich..

Yeah it wasn't meant to be an excuse. More just wondering wtf happened last night. And hoping tonight's game will be somewhat entertaining.
