Game 9 | Cavs (7-1) @ Knicks (4-5) | November 13, 2015 | 7:30pm EST

[MirORich]

We are 8-1.

Best start for the franchise in 27 years.

2 injured starters, and 2 other starters returning from injuries.

And you people act like we haven't won a god damn game. Jesus.

Right on board with you, but have long since learned that Game Threads will always have this sort of second to second insane judgement/panic/exaltation/etc.

So it's not that people shouldn't be held to the view and things that they say in a gamethread, but for your own sanity its just no worth it.

 

[2 For The Brew]

We are seeing every team's top effort every game. For the Knicks this game is one of their top three games at home this season. For us it's just another game before it gets real in May. Meanwhile we are 8-1.

These nine games have been great - nobody's been injured. All that matters this early.

Melo is just a fat bug on the windshield of the Cavaliers' 15-16 season.

+1 in case people missed this. People need to chill. It's November and I'd hate so see you guys being salty in February if we had 1 shit game.

 

[Tlyons]

Are Tristan's Free Throws still holding out? Do they need a max too?

 

[red.]

Melo is part of the rot. He is a non-winning player. He should have admitted it to himself like other max players have and latched onto a winning player's team to at least give himself a chance.

That's my point.

Not sure why he stuck around in NY when he could have joined a winning team and compete.

Some people act like GS swept our ass last year. They needed 6. Delly legitimately bothered Curry like no other player in the league. They were running Curry off of 4 screens at the 3 point line by games 4 and 5. Our only problem against GS was just no depth and no offensive punch. Healthy....we have ALL of that. If we have relatively equal health... I say to GS: fucking bring it.

 

[Pioneer10]

I'm still trying to figure out how Tristan got blocked by a white almond, son.

Just so damn long for him to gather. It might be his hand size, that would have been much faster if just went with the left handed tomahawk

 

[Pioneer10]

So does this official become known as the Lebron James makes Melo his bitch in crunch time game?

Sort of felt like I was re-living the Hakeem Admiral matchup just with not as much at stake

Wasn't scared of Golden State TWO STARTERS down. Damn sure not scared now

Really looking forward to seeing them again with a full squad. I can almost taste it.

Mozgov was not that bad, he got couple steals and a block shot stolen from him in a stat sheet.

 

[David.]

It's nice you were never scared, but we did lose the series. at some point you probably should have been.

Last three games weren't even close

I'm not trying to be rude, but exactly what difference does it make if flop was scared? We lost. The goal is to win, and we lost. But hey, you weren't scared so I guess......well I don't know what I guess. It doesn't have any bearing on what actually happened.

Scared for WHAT? Love and Kyrie were OUT. Fear when you have something to lose, that squad didn't. They were outmatched from the START and played as hard as they could. You never take pride in losing but they damn near forced that team to 7. Get the fuck outta here. Golden State can EAT SHIT.

You aren't making any sense. My point is Golden State is not a "scary" team to me. They are REALLY good, even great, but they CAN be beat. What the fuck are you missing? Are you that daft?

 

[Rich]

I just don't think we can fairly judge this team until shump and Kyrie get back. Those aren't just role players they are huge pieces of our team, especially kyrie.

It would be nice to see progress so I hear where you guys are coming from but if you took 2 of the top 5 players off any team they would struggle.

If Shump isn't a role player, what is he?
