Rough Night for Cavs

[FlyerTE]

Something tells me if this takes place at the Q it is a different story. This team must find a way to win on the road, esp. in indiana.

We just suck on the road. We got away with it against less talented teams in Philly and Orlando but against equal competition it bit us this time.

Seems to me we came out with zero energy. Maybe when we get AV back this will help a bit

Makes me wonder if we can ever play well on the road against the elite teams.

I figure once we're a better defensive team we will be able to, well aleast thats what I'm hoping.

we can't allow ourselves with this performance... i won't be content even if we lost by a close margin, we should have won this one and shown sarunas wat a big mistake he made...

This game was a reality check for the Cavs. The schedule has been relatively easy so far, i wonder if they came into it overconfident? They were very rattled in the first half, at least played even with the Pacers in the 2nd half. I dont even remember LeBron having a dunk in this one! That is crazy!!!

Hopefully after this loss the Cavs will realize they still have some workj to do to get better. The schedule is tightening up now, home games against Minny and LAC, then 3 game west coast trip. If they dont come with it, i can see a losing streak coming, next 7 games all should be tough.

I am not overly concerned with losing to teams like memphis, San Antonio and Indiana on the road. We put these games down for losses anyway. I am concerned that we dont really compete at a reasonable level.

One interesting stat from last season is that NBA champions, San Antonio were only 3 games over .500 on the road. They were just beasts at home, but average away. Looking at that, if we can continue to be strong at home, and steady the ship slightly and defeat the average teams on the road, we are still in a very good position.
