Do Not Sell My Personal Information

No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying everyone is pissed off about LeBron's offense even though he's doing what we all should want him to do. Run clock and try to pick up a foul.

I would have liked to see a few plays run too, just to keep the defense honest, but I liked the idea.

There was wayyyy too much time to just run the clock out of the game.

Liked the idea? We almost blew the game because of it. I have no idea what the hell that was, I hope Blatt addresses it in his post game conference, and says that's never happening again.

It was horrendous, after playing so well throughout majority of the game.

If Carroll is out, Cavs really need to sit Kyrie. No way they beat the Warriors without a healthy Kyrie, and the Hawks look plenty beatable without playing him.

Or play Kyrie and hope we can sweep them....

I would have agreed with you if I thought LeBron would play smart late game basketball. Instead he'd rather play ISO the last 7 mins if Kyrie isnt playing. I'd rather Kyrie being out there to run the pick and roll with LeBron. Not sure we can keep playing like this with him dribbling 30 feet from the hoop.

Going to need more than 12 combined points from Irving, Shump, and Delly in most games.

Always good to win though.

Shump and Delly were cold tonight, they will come back and get hot. Kyrie is hurting, we need to get him some rest.

And its not like its a one time thing. It happened in game 4 and game 5 against the Bulls.

Windhorst or somebody needs to bring this to LeBron and Blatt's attention.

@Chris Parker please save us!
 
JR Swish -- 8-12 from 3
everybody else -- 2-14 from 3 (everyone else but Kyrie, 0-11)

If Delly and JJ make some wide open 3s we really blow them out
 
it's simple, don't play to not lose, play to win

It'll happen.

How about the adjustment we made defensively? Great scheme. The guards felt non existent in the 1nd half.

Yea we blew a lead, but it's on the road, game 1, refs in ATLS corner, and they are a good offense. If lebron gets half those calls it's over with 5 minutes to go. Not to mention they probably got an emotional lift when Carroll went down.

At the end of the day, we won game 1 on the road.

What about the tens of thousands of minutes in his career and the boatload he's played in these playoffs?

I've been pretty upset at LeBron for the way he closes these games.

However, I'm sure he never thought Kyrie and Love would be out. So thats why he's forcing the issue.

Never thought I'd say this but I'd rather LeBron be a bit more passive. He's making it way too obvious to the defense.
