Game 21 | Cleveland @ Memphis | December 8th, 2009 | 8:00pm EST

[SoundBreaker]

LEBRON NEEDS TO PLAY OFF BALL IN THE FINAL SECONDS.....



Who in the world can stop him when he's without the ball?

He's faster, stronger and can jump higher than anyone guarding him...



I don't understand.

 

[castigador]

SteelMack speaks the truth. game was very close, but we had more turnovers.

 

[SteelSmack]

Damn I didnt even realize LBJ had 43 points, goes to show its a team effort and not an individual one

That's cause he wasn't passing to open guys, throwing garbage up in the paint instead. Not even attacking, Memphis didn't challenge ANYTHING, they stayed flat footed around the paint, LeBron was just happy to stop shy of the basket.

I also love the way Gasol is in foul trouble and NOT ONCE (while he had 5 fouls) do we post Shaq on him. And we leave Shaq out there guarding the pick and roll. Seriously, HOW STUPID IS MIKE BROWN?

Absolutely pathetic that LeBron still has to do EVERYTHING in meaningful and close games. For that I am afraid. Especially when it comes down to the postseason.

I'm pretty sure that LeBron definitely DOESNT have to do everything in meaningful and close games. Our team blows every team out when we're playing team basketball and when we put LeBron off the ball. Mike Brown and his lack of testicles refuses to enforce this style of play during rough patches.

Our team's pretty fucking good and yet our coach WILL NOT coach our team when we need it most. Absolute bullshit that we didn't go 2 for 1. Absolute bullshit that Shaq and his slow ass was in at the end of the game to let little Mike Conley waltz right past him for the game winner. Mike Brown doesn't deserve his paycheck when he pulls this shit far too often.

The team is fine. Our coach is a moron and unfortunately the team's collected IQ isn't enough to make them continue to run the damn offense without a coach bitching at them too.

Story of the game: Mike Brown is a dumbass.

 

[LebonJaymes]

I beg to differ.

He was attacked StellSmack! What do you want him to do?

 

[Ruggeder]

That's it. Im tired of people saying that we lose in any way because the other team just plays harder against us. I'm not saying this, but when we lose to washington, people say, "oh, it's like their super bowl". Seriously, even if a bad team plays well, championship teams still win. Fuck Shaq. And for lebron, he ices our whole team by dribbling for the whole shot clock and trying to do it all. Then, when it comes time for our shooters to make shots, they can't because their cold. I dont even know. We just need changes. That's 4 pathetic road losses

I was talking exclusively about fan reaction. However, they did outplay and out hustle us all night. The refs contributed, Lebron doing everything again contributed, etc. I would have to assume that shaq would be pissed at these unnecessary losses and talk with lebron into passing more, hell even an alley-oop to shaq could have been more effective then an off balanced 3 that had no chance.

 

[castigador]

I didn't watch the game, but 5 fouls on Marc gasol and not attacking him is a crime.

 

[THamiltonIsGod]

I said something everyone else said and you might kill yourself now?


Thanks for answering my question bro, appreciate it. I came in and saw that it was overtime and I was like


Thanks for the tip man, but I'ma keep posting. Not attacking anyone


The fuck? Some of you need to stop looking like dumbasses.

I'm only commenting here because I actually saw the end of the game and it was exciting. I never post in here after random losses when I don't watch. Wow, some of you are sad. It's one loss.

All of the above confirms your troll status. Just stop posting please.

 

[Imadogg]

I wouldn't say their all trolls...seize and doughboy make some positive contributions to this forum but this dude in here rooting for the Griz and saying "how the fuck did you lose to the Griz" immediately after the loss when everyone is still worked up from it needs to go somewhere else.

Were you not thinking the same thing? "How the fuck do we lose to the GRIZ?!?!"

I think we all know that the Cavs are better than the Grizzlies, or should be. I wasn't asking it in a way to mock you, but saying that the Cavs SHOULD win.

I beg to differ.

Like I wrote in another thread, I never attack anyone until I'm attacked, so you should shut up. Thanks.

K your hidden agenda is apparent here and everyone sees it.
when you cheer for the other team every night we dont want your shit here.

why are you even on these boards? like go circle jerk with your other laker homers.

There is no "hidden" agenda. I don't get to see too many Cavs games and I got to catch this one. Lebron was doing everything for the team at the end and the Griz one and that's what I saw. And yes I don't root for the Cavs, what's hidden?

And nice, a gay joke.

A Cavs fan doesn't want to be consoled by a Laker one after a loss. Or anybody for that matter. I wouldn't take it too personally, but on the contrary a Cavs fan on a Laker board would be going through the same whether they are a good poster or not.

The blue-balls Cavs fans have (or just Cleveland fans in general) makes everyone volatile just a little bit more.

You guys would definitely go through the same thing on a Lakers board, but yea I'm not trying to console anyone. I'm a Lakers fan and also an NBA fan, and this game was on NBAtv so I caught the end and decided to just post my thoughts on it. No one needs to freak out.

 

[GoGetta]

mike brown is very stupid. im okay with giving lebron the shot at the end but you make him run out to the half court line to get the ball then toss up a brick. why not have a set play so he can get it at the 3 pt line, pump fake, take a much more wide open 3.

i seriously wonder what our team would be like if we had jeff van gundy... hell give me frank, avery, etc over this clown.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

That was a dumb loss, hopefully the players and coaches can learn from it. They out-executed us down the stretch. We just tried to climb on LeBron's back as usual. Is it possible to draw up a play that doesn't have LeBron receiving the ball at halfcourt with 3 seconds left?

 

[LebonJaymes]

You know what, You all have attitude problems! Just like your "King"! Grow up!

 

[SteelSmack]

He was attacked StellSmack! What do you want him to do?

Your opinion doesn't count, you'll be banned before tomorrow's game.

 

[TheNewEra]

We really needed moon out there today.

 

[Andrew]

I am certainly not thinking its the end of the world, because in the grand scheme of things, about 20 other teams are better than the Grizzlies. Its the way we lost. Getting up by double digits and then reverting back to watching Lebron do his thing and not give a rat's ass until *crap, we could lose this!* sinks in.

Just a pathetic effort tonight by the team and they know it.
