Game 61 | Cleveland Cavaliers @ Memphis Grizzlies | March 1st, 2014 9:00 PM ET

And with how Tristan and Zeller were just abused down low tonight, 8 minutes for Anthony Bennett is inexcusable. I wish we had a real head coach.

R.O.F.L.

Yea, ANthony Bennett would have been the answer against Randolph. Get real with this shit.

 

[JSS2306]

We really... really... REALLY have to find a way to stop these wide open 3's. It's so out of control. Mike Brown has to adjust his defense to compensate for these things. The 3 point line is like a free throw to some of these guys in today's league. It happens every single game.

 

[Plaxicofan7]

Does that matter even a little?

to me, yes.

 

[OptimusPrime]

We need Dion back so JJ can go back to playing 10-15 mins a game.

That's awfully wishful thinking. Unless you heard Mike Brown was fired after the game tonight.

 

[billmac91]

Soul crushing loss...from a team unity standpoint a game like this does way more damage than a standard defeat. To come out in the third and just shit down your leg like that was reverting back to old form and 3 steps back.

Just terrible.

 

[wuck]

For how much this games sucks. It's hard to play 4 games in 5 days with 3 of your top 6 players out. We just ran out of energy.

Agreed. They have another 4 games in 5 days coming up in March. Hopefully they'll have some other players back. Brown rode his main guys hard over the last 4 games.

I wish you could hop off AB's dick for a minute. Did you already forget James Johnson easy drive around him for a dunk? Zach Randolph would have eaten him alive.

 

[Rainman]

I know people are butt hurt when someone talks bad about Tristian but his defense is a big reason why we lost this game.

 

[BimboColesHair]

Yeah you can tell fatigue was clearly a factor at the end of this game.
I'm pissed, but not as pissed as I'd normally be.

I'd agree, if we weren't up by 13 at one point in the 3rd quarter. Fatigue alone doesn't cause 27 point swings.

What position does James Johnson play? What about Zach Randolph? Do you watch games? Or just not understand what you are seeing?

 

[redscoon]

65 first half points and they don't even reach 100. Color me not surprised.

They absolutely must get Jack the fuck out of here. I can't stomach any more of this guy. A guy that's been in the league as long as he has can't make backbreakingly awful plays as much as he does. When Waiters and Miles are back, Jack needs to be phased out almost entirely.

Zeroing in on a 9th place finish while getting almost no development from the rookies. Love it. Love it.

No, it's laughable to suggest that Bennett, the guy who just sort of smiled as James Johnson waltzed around him for an easy dunk, would have somehow done a better job at stopping those Zach Randolph mid-range fallback jumpers. I watched him hit three straight, and everyone of them either Zeller or Thompson were as close as could be w/o fouling. That's just what really good offensive players do.

 

[PeonHaiters]

You can't win a game with 31 points in a half.

 

[Plaxicofan7]

TT was gassed too from playing big minutes for 4 games in 5 days. we needed to see more of AB tonight, regardless of how he was doing, because he was a fresh body.

this was a big game for us, and we let it slip away by completely breaking down in the 2nd half.

you cannot compare the slashing style of James Johnson to Zach Randolph who likes to beat guys up inside. AB was a fresh body who could have helped for a bit.
