Game 6: Cavs @ Suns Friday, November 9th at 9:00 pm EST

[JJ Smooth]

That's it...call it a season. Game 6 is where we need to get that tank revved up.

For real? I know we're upset, but please get off the bridge.

 

[TopGun]

Someone should test CJ miles for a case of basketball poisoning

I'm pretty sure he's the culprit, not the victim.

The loss blows but Kyrie looked like he was running on below E at the beginning of the 4th. Dion had some nasty finishes that we have been waiting for. Moreover, he continues to drain threes in key moments; however, he grew pretty confident then jacked up a three for a miss with like 18 seconds on the shot clock or something? It was late in the game. I really like how hes playing and how he just rises to the occasion is fucking fantastic.

Fight another day gentlemen.

Man Samardo only had 2 rebounds? He really lacks in that department.

 

[Stark]

Time for some grades!

Kyrie Irving: B Gonna give him a bit of a bye because he was sick, and he looked drained near the start of the fourth. Still, wish he would of looked for his shot a bit more, as he only shot nine times tonight, and finished with seventeen points, and also threw in eight assists. The bad came with his defense and seven turnovers.

Dion Waiters: A- Give the kid props. He's really starting to play. Dion had a solid twenty-three point effort, and connected from deep three times on five attempts. The reason he doesn't have a higher A is because besides scoring, he only had one rebound and two assists.

Alonzo Gee: B- Solid night for Gee, as he had fifteen points to go along with seven boards, and is still shooting perfect from the free throw line this year. Still, not much of a fan of the 5-13 shooting.

Tristan Thompson: C+ Thompson really didn't seem too on tonight. His defense just looked a bit slow, but he did almost have a double double with a 10-8 night.

Anderson Varejao: B- Andy also didn't look to be totally on tonight. He had his third double-double of the year with a 14-10, but outside of that, he made a few questionable choices in crunch time (that airball from about fourteen feet out stands out to me), and only shot 4-7 from the line and 5-12 from the field.

Daniel Gibson: B+ Great night for Boobie on the offensive side of the ball, as he had 19 points on 7-9 shooting (5-7 from downtown). Now if he could just play some defense...

Donald Sloan: C He played six minutes, and really didn't do anything good or bad, so I'll just give him the average grade.

Samardo Samuels: B- Gave him the B for effort. He really seems to be driving and trying out there. However, he needs to stop with the eighteen foot jumpers. I think I saw him shoot about four and only make one.

C.J. Miles: F 0-7; 0-4; -10

 

[3 Ball...GOT IT]

Too early for the tank

 

[Stark]

We really should be 4-2...

Should of won tonight, but bullshit occurred, and we should of beaten Milwaukee, but for some reason, Luke Walton found a bit too much playing time.

I still don't think this is a bad team. Well, not an awful bottom-five of the league team.

With everyone healthy

And the right rotations

This is easily a borderline playoff team

Unfortunately it's not a perfect world :/

 

[Tornicade]

Weve seen th cavs led by jamison and parker start out strong and then fizzle. This Cavs team is on an accelerated learning curve. I think they will improve as the season goes along

 

[Daniel89]

Dumb mistake on the Nba.com site... In the Top 10 plays they showed Andy's dunk and the announcer said "Big win for the Cavs" :shakehead

 

[NIkeL]

My god i need this roadtrip do end. I can't handle going to bed at 5am just to watch Cavs games a lot longer.

 

[Randolphkeys]

Watching the last quarter now... the Caves need another capable perimeter besides Gee. Sam Sam is just as big of an issue as Chuck Jumpers and the lack of backup point. Varejao and Kyrie were gassed at the end of the third. West coast road trip will do that.

Yea, Samardo is bad. He's a ball-stopping PF who doesn't rebound and doesn't move his feet well at all on defense. That's not good.

Irving looked like he was going to upchuck at the end
