This type of team is just a buzzsaw for most of the league during the regular season. Tries hard, especially on defense, but has the offensive skill to Cavalanche at least once a game. Product looks different with Allen off the floor. More room.

They are putting him in bad positions with ball outside of the key

That possession where he (Lopez) started dribbling around on the perimeter was scary

I missed the game, but love the outcome. Here are the highlights I just watched:

Careful you’ll be admonished for posting in the “wrong thread”..lol; except that his rules don’t apply to him…lol

Stop whining about posts being whined about in this thread, this isnt the whiny post thread.

Edit: Oh shit, i think i just whined in the wrong thread

I'm watching the whole game, through the 1st quarter so far. We're looking in control.

LINESCORES​

TEAM	Q1	Q2	Q3	Q4	FINAL
ORL	25	22	17	32	96
CLE	27	27	28	25	107

ORL	54	13	5	29	8	17	1	21

We won every quarter but the 4th. I assume our scrubs failed to hold the lead.

Maybe…the best time would have been BEFORE he got hit AGAIN?!?!?

Gotta protect these guys from themselves. No wonder he hasn’t looked right this year.

If he needs weeks, so be it. If he needs 2 months, so be it. Get everyone healthy first and foremost. No need to risk major injury in Fucking December. Injuries are part of the game.

I agree with this. Wade’s doesn’t look to be one of those guys who can play 32 minutes all year. Honestly, few guys can. And for us, his real value comes in April when we will need his versatility in the playoffs. Guys with major holes in their games get exposed in a playoff series. Guys who have an all around game like Wade are crucial, even if they are just role players.

Can't wait to see what this Orlando team looks like in a few years. I expect Banchero and Mobley to have a rivalry.

We all ( or most..lol) come in here to have a good time and share our love for the Cavs, Guardians, Browns or sports in general. Life’s too short to deal with people like that. I have zero tolerance for that shit; immediate ignore button . Take care.

Why oh why would the coach not take a TO with a player hurt, playing 4 on 5.

Sometimes it just feels like he gets lost in the game, which is not what yo uwant from a coach.

The players get lost in the game. The coach isn't supposed to.

Cause he sucks. He is not fit.

Once this team gets a good coach... oooh wee... it's gonna be amazeballs.

I root for the Buckeyes but after the Michigan debacle, I just don’t think they’re deserving to get into CFB playoffs.

Michigan should not have to beat osu twice and osu has to beat Michigan 1-2. Cfb has become a joke. 12 teams will be worse

 

[avs2000]

If USC loses tonight, who deserves the 4th spot? I'd like to get rich's take on that. Rich?

Should not be 4 teams. Should be 2. Mich and georgia
12 will be ridiculous. Bama. Osu Mich usc Georgia Clemson will get in with 3 losses. Those teams are already in the playoffs everyear. Reg season will be meaningless

That possession where he (Lopez) started dribbling around on the perimeter was scary

And that’s all on DG and DM they should never give Lopez the ball outside with less than 10 seconds on the clock!

I loved watching the game, even 12 hours later.

I'm surprised we were outrebounded and outshot.

But we shot better from 3 and had 8 more than they did. That's 24 points and the game.
