[Los216]

that was a sweet move

Sergey not playing while we get humiliated is just the icing on the cake.

 

[OptimusPrime]

The back court has been bad and the defense has been bad, which is death for this team, but once again we are getting absolutely nothing from the front court. Thompson and Hawes have been worthless tonight, and Gee is always worthless.

 

[oasis05]

They are only down 26. Come on Cavs!

 

[Rich]

This team isn't close. Unless there's a massive leap made by Kyrie Irving, or we swing a major, major deal, we're back in the lottery again next year.

lol, no team is "close" then.

Literally makes no sense. None.

sure it does. stop using personal bias in useless games.

dude Lebron made the leap under Mike Brown and we still couldn't cash in

 

[redscoon]

If this quit job gets Brown canned, there is hope for next year. If he stays, we are in trouble. Players haven't consistently gave effort for any sustained stretch all season except for the immediate aftermath of Grant's firing. Getting your team to battle for you is the first step in building something.

Our talent to production ratio is indefensible. I don't see how Brown can avoid being accountable for that.

You're overreacting. This team has faced a lot of adversity as a result of their doing and some from unforeseen, unfortunate circumstances.

We'll be a good team next year. We're missing a lot of key pieces right now and even you can't deny that.

I will agree though that unless Kyrie takes the step we thought he'd take this year the future outlook of our team isn't as bright as I previously thought. Hopefully it happens though.

 

[Zen]

I was out, just got home and turned the gam eon.

Weirdest thing happen i immediately broke into laughter. Only in cleveland do you lose to the bucks and then follow it up by a home 30 point loss to the celtics.

 

[Cashius X]

Embarrassing.

Exactly. But it's not Irving we should be looking at to take a "leap". He is already an All-Star

It's Grant's other pile of shit draft picks that we need to see improvement in. We need just one to consistently play at an All-Star for a year.

By now I've realized it would be too much to ask for one of them to become a plus defender.
