Game #5 | Cleveland Cavaliers @ Milwaukee Bucks | 8:00 PM EST | 11/06/13

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Kyrie was one of the most successful finishers in the NBA last year when healthy, right there with Kobe until the season was a lost cause. I recorded the last quarter, don't know what happened yet... but I've had the feeling for a while that Kyrie isn't playing at 100%. What exactly is up isn't known to me.

BTW, hard to win a road game when they shoot like that.

.500 should be losing to the good teams, beating the shitty teams. If we lose to the shitty teams and the good teams, we are back to the lottery.

No. .500 doesn't work in a perfectly linear way like that. It's good games against good and bad teams, followed by bad games against good and bad teams.

Or maybe the cavs just aren't that good yet, mike brown plays too many guys, nobody is really comfortable out there offensively, and Kyrie plays too much hero ball.

for the 1st 3 quarters he was passing the ball and making good decisions... he needed to step it up in the 4th to keep the game close (which he did)... bummer for that missed 3, but overall im happy with how kyrie played today... not forcing things on offense and good defensive intensity, needs to be consistent though and stop being trapped on the baselines while dribbling...
 
Its game 5...everyone calm the hell down. The 07-08 team started 2-3, and then 5-6 at 11 games. Some of these irrational comments are why Cleveland fans get ripped on. Relax. We can re-evaluate the team after 1 month. Anything before then is a waste.
 
I'll put Friday's game thread up when this one cools down.

He did bang his elbow the other game. I also think teams are locking in on him a lot more. Plus I think he is defending more so his energy on offense is lower compared to past years. It is a process, even for him.
 
The first road game they win will be against a good team, when they're up for it. They'll find a way to lose at Philly, and then beat them at home.
 
Re: Dion Waiters

I am pretty sure that he was fired after 5 games because Kobe and Dwight are ego maniacs. It can work with one, but apparently not two.

No he was fired because his offense is still a joke after all these years...Some things never change...Lmao hes supposed to be know for his D and bucks without like 5 players score 109 its a joke...
 
Beasted on by OJ Mayo, Gary Neal and ZAZA PACHULIA.

Its a process. ..
Team learns defense
Team focuses on defense, offense suffers
Kyrie eventually picks up his offense
Dion learns to play both ends alongside Kyrie (starts tongiht)
TT eventually gets worked into offense

Team makes playoffs

Well, I guess its just that simple. Thanks bigfoot.
 
Tonight is a prime example of why you don't want to get on the lottery treadmill year after year after year. You instill a losing is ok mindset in your young guys and that isn't easy to get rid of. Only five games into the season and we've seen maybe 2.5 games of intense basketball. We are already 0-2 against teams dealing with a major injury or injuries. Get a W and relax. Get a W and relax. Don't have to bring it every night. Don't have to play hard all 48. That's the attitude this team is still operating under.

These guys should be 4-1 and are lucky to not be 1-4. Ton of work left to do.

Who's going to work TT into the offense? Mike Brown?
