Is this some weird campaign for Lebron's MVP award? Why are we playing so terribly

 

[gaitano]

Cavs sleepwalking, shooting ice-cold, wisely not playing very physical

 

[gaitano]

Now six straight for the Cavs, lol. Reverse jinx works!

The fact that we play so disinterested at times is the only thing that has me worried about Boston. Were gonna get up by 20, stop caring, then they will make it a game in the 4th.

I say feed Love all he wants. Try to get his shooting confidence up a little before the playoffs start.

I am going on a hunch, but I think Kyrie's night is over.

Do you really expect them to get up for this absolutely meaningless game?

Relax, the place will be buzzing, and their energy level will be on steroids. LeBron's demeanor is always different in the playoffs.

I don't want to read too much into this game since it's meaningless, but when Lebron sits out a game the team tends to play with little energy or leadership. It's not like the 2005-2010 teams that had similar problems, in that those teams almost never had the best player (or even the 3rd best one) on the floor if Lebron sat. Tonight the Cavs have the two best players on the floor but you wouldn't know it.

Now we get to see Will Bynum v Delly

I hope so.

These posts make me laugh. It's like Kyrie's 55 point performance against a top caliber western conference team without LB goes forgotten.

The Cavs are playing not to get hurt, and who can blame them? Just sit meaningful guys and allow the scrubs enjoy some burn.

Guys, Kyrie probably won't even play 25 minutes. Not a huge deal.

It is if your starting PG walked off the court limping the last time he played because of his hip and it kept him out a game prior to that.

 

[Thelorn]

I know it's fan appreciation night and they're giving away prizes, but tickets should be free for a game like this for all teams playing for nothing.

 

[gaitano]

Looks like Kyrie want to limber up a little more...
