Round 3, Game 4 | Cavaliers vs. Magic | May 26, 2009 | 8:30PM ET

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
The killer was the defense on Howard in the OT. We gave him anything he wanted.

yep, i look at that initial stretch of overtime as the point in which the game was lost. if howard doesn't get those points, orlando was essentially in jump shot mode heading into overtime and we very well may be singing a different tune tonight.
 
Can't blame the refs, Lebron had a bunch of costly TO's, we stopped attacking in OT. and Mo still can't buy a jumper. Coach didn't come through for us. We have played way too stupid this series, bad shots and TO's. Ball movement has been very good in the 1st halves and in the 2nd we just play like shit.
 
LeBron has turned it off and on in games throughout his career. The "off" is extremely off, but the "on" is extremely on. Can't do that.


There's a part of me that is just glad the game is over, because I was about to pass out.
 
We can win this series. We were up at halftime in 3 out of the 4. But if they are going to shoot it like that.....
 
ATTENTION:

If you are pissed about the Cavs lose and dont want to hear BS from ESPN or anywhere else id advise staying away from ESPN or any retarded articles.
 
Does anyone else feel like me, that they can't even bring themselves to watch the next game? I feel as though even if we win- and I predict we actually win big- it's no point. We won't win in Orlando. I see it as, Orlando relaxes slightly, we blow them out, they refocus and take us out in game 6 with little resistance. Wake me up if there is a miracle game 7.

I hate to agree but relucltantly I do. For whatever reason, we can't get over the hump against these f%*ckers . My moral blows right now. We led in every major catagory and lost. The style of play in this series is the Cavs style. Physical, aggresive, possesion at a time Cavalier basketball, and we still lose. What else can be said. Only blame at this point is Commander Mike Brown. I'm ticked and confused. Eight teams have come back from 3-1 deficits but it is what it is. This sucks.
 
I Can't Stomach the thought of that Midget Fatass Pile of Shit Stan Van Gundy in the Finals...I just cant...If he wins a ring so help me god.
 
Please, West can't buy a jumper along with Mo. West is not playing good D and should not have to guard Hedo. Mo cheats off to much. LBJs D has been lackluster.
 
I'm sorry, the refs "helped" us by calling obvious fouls in the 4th, and that sent us into overtime, but in OT, they got every call imaginable. Dwight draws a foul on Andy when LeBron has forced him to a jump ball. LeBron gets a pass kicked, and it's a turnover on LeBron. Turkey glue takes 3 steps and misses a layup and DH tips the ball in while it's sitting on the rim. LeBron takes a 3 and draws contact on DH while he IS in mid air, although TNT refused to claim such, and it's a no call. The refs refuse to help the Cavs get in a position to win a game, but they have ZERO problem getting the Magic into that position. To me it is pretty obvious which team the league wants to win. Florida = more $$ than Cleveland. Sorry but it's true.

This is what bothers me, so many times Mo is standing just outside the paint when there is no threat at the basket. Meanwhile, his man is wide open for 3 because he's out of position. At least Sasha has length and some athleticism, why does Wally even play? We need to run Andy, LeBron Sasha, DWest and Mo/Gibson at them to give them a taste of their own medicine. Honestly, if Andy started at C it would help our bench and our matchups. I know you never want to be forced to adjust, play the best team you can, but the WAY we defend the pick and roll doesn't work against a guy as athletic as Dwight with a guy as slow as Z. It just doesn't work. Especially when their 3 point shooters can't miss.
 
The Andy call was ridicolous. Did he even touch him? And how does Hedo get the call in Game 1, but Lebron doesn't get it in Game 4.

All that said, we played a heck of a game and we lost by 2. We can win game 5 but game 6 I don't know

I cant even watch ESPN until next season.
 
We should bring in Bill Walton to guard perimeter shooters since apparently we have a knack for putting guys with shitty knees on the outside in critical moments.

Did you mean to say "with a guy as slow as Z"?

I agree 100%. Get Z outa there, and we need to quit helping on D. Stay with the shooters. If they made 17 threes, it's a sign that you shouldn't play help D in the post.
