I hope the original post was sarcasm........

I'm more concerned with Kyrie then one game. You know since Kyrie being hurt is the reason we lost. You have and are about to see just how valuable a healthy Kyrie is to this team.

This sucks so fucking bad.

Here's hoping for a miracle regarding his hip.

His hip was a problem coming in. His ankle became a bigger problem in the first quarter. He is dealing with multiple issues right now.
 
Starting to feel like whoever comes out of the East is just going to be the sacrificial lamb for the West to slaughter. If Kyrie can get healthy and stay healthy then Cavs still have a shot, but really need to be at full strength to legit challenge for the title. We really need Kyrie and Lebron playing at a high level, otherwise its going to be shit like tonight. We'll see what happens.
 
LeBron was bad but Kyrie not being a threat at all because of the injury really put him in a tough situation. I thought he actually played decently. Obviously we need him to be better but it was really an ugly grind out game.

Expect 2012 Game 6 LeBron next game. Hes gonna be focused. The man doesnt like losing.
 
So, the takeaways:

1. There's no defense for that shot by Rose. TT played him as tight as he could without fouling and kept Rose outside the arc.

2. We just needed a split anyway. We didn't get that tonight. We can get it Sunday.

3. Kyrie's health.

When you consider who is shooting, I wouldn't consider that shot "lucky" at all. Rose has made those types of shots before late in games.

Uh huh, and so he called that bank? When you bank a bomb from that spot, you were way off and were bailed out by the glass.
 
We played small the entire 4th quarter. Why? Gasol was out. If we put in Moz with TT that forces the Bulls to go big as well. The game changes. The Bulls don't get all those shots in the paint, and they don't get all the damn rebounds. I just don't get it.

I also don't get the fact we all saw Kyrie was playing hurt and next to useless.

What game was Blatt even watching tonight? We sure he was watching the same game we were?
 
I don't know why but I'm not even worried right now. This doesn't feel as bad as losing game 1 or game 4 to the Magic in '09 or losing games 4 and 5 to Boston in '10. Had tonight's loss happened back then I would have been devastated.

...which should be obvious to anyone.

You don't bank it from there on purpose. Now, to his credit, the banker means that the shot was on-line. He just way over-shot it. And, sometimes you get lucky with those. But, no player in NBA history has purposely banked a shot in from that position on the floor.

Of course that is little consolation at this point. He made it. Game over.

And dont forget he is running LeBron to the ground. 43 minutes !!!!!

Not sure Blatt had anything to do with our 2 stars shooting under 30%.

We had a chance to cut it to OT, and Rose made a crazy shot.

Blatt had A LOT to do with Kyrie shooting under 30%, since he left him in there to take all those extra shots, when he wasn't right.

Delly was keeping us in the game. Bring him back, instead of letting a busted-up Kyrie brick shot after shot, until he is 3-13.

Thanks, I didn't see most of the first half. That was just pain watching Kyrie euro step so damn slow and then have no lift what so ever.

I feel for the kid.

I agree, the Magic series was really dispiriting because the Cavs kept blowing big leads, Orlando was consistently draining 3s it seemed like every single game (thanks roidman Lewis), and they simply couldn't handle Turkey Glue.

The next game is going to tell us whether the Cavs are winning this series.
