t player anymore guys. Still great, but he's not dropping 45 points in 46 minutes anymore. Love and Irving have to step up or they're done.

He made every isolation shot on us. That's what won the game. Also that bs call on Kyrie that gave Lowry a three point play.

Yep..

JR Smith, for whatever reason, simply can't guard him very well. Gotta put length on him.

I'm thinking Game 4, I want Irving and the 2 and Delly at the 1. Delly can switch with James and Irving on DeRozan and Lowry.

But primarily, the big thing is that we have to dominate the boards. We can't go through the first half -10 on the boards. Love and Tristan have to step up.

Yeah but we just got that LeBron. He was incredible tonight. We need Love and TT. And I'm not as confident in them.

He was solid...incredible isnt the word I'd use...he had Lowry posted three times late and all 3 times passed out of it ... You have to attack

Reporter asks Lue if he wants to take a page out of the Casey book (19-2 free throw disparity in 4th qtr) "I don't take a page out of nobody's book"

That shit is inflammatory.
 
Last two games TT and Love have been garbage; Kyrie is his usual self...scores but allows the other team to score almost as much, no defense at all. Those three need to turn it around...especially since Bron played 45 minutes...45??...wtf Lue...and still couldn't get the win...we MUST win game 5...or this could get ugly...we have gone from a sweep and 9 days off to fighting for our lives to stay in it...fuck this
 
Hopefully LeBron isn't as jovial in this post game. Can we pretend like we want to take them serious now.

Nah, that LeBron literally controlled the entire game, like there's not a single game against any team in history that I wouldn't take that LeBron against...

Plus, that look would scare the Raptors right off the court...

He's close enough to that player when he has to be. The last couple weeks of the regular season, he looked like he could be there.
 
Lue dropped the ball when asked about the refs and how Cavs got only a couple free throws to Toronto's 20 + in the second half. Dropped the ball. Very disappointing. May get him fired if they lose this series. Too passive in this regard.

Tough breaks with some of the late calls, but we really got what we deserved. LeBron, Kyrie, and the bench crew were heroic, but the lazy play on both sides of the ball in the first half was pathetic.

I think the team learned their lesson and will be ready to play with intensity from the jump in game five. Also seeing Lue ride the LeBron bench lineup and adjust the defense to trap on some of their actions was encouraging.
