Do Not Sell My Personal Information

I am thinking this game was played poor for a reason at times. The Cavs are trying to send a message to something or someone. It just has to be.

There are better ways to get a point across.
 
Lue runs the defense. I'd start the finger pointing there...

Not if you are LeBron. The one thing I never liked is he will pull stuff like this to get his way. Tonight though, I can not explain it any other way. I am at a loss for words.

Wow. A 34-point loss, in a game that was never competitive.

Someone's head better end up on a pike, after this one. That is entirely inexcusable. Maybe LeBron is trying again to get Blatt fired. It's not fair, but I think Blatt has to be the fall guy.

Fall guy for what? No GM in his right mind would fire the coach of a team in 3rd overall and 1st in their conference.

You guys are hilarious.

Our championship window ain't that long, and it's already closing. Anything less than a championship with this iteration of the Cavs will be abject failure. We don't have the luxury of letting things work themselves out. A team this talented shouldn't get punked by ANYONE. Something is wrong.

LeBron faced everyone on their defense. Whenever Curry gets iso on they send their whole team to protect him. On the defensive end he's constantly hidden or helped.

But yet we don't do shit about it. Why don't we do the same. Curry can hit shots and makes team better. Lebron not so much anymore

Lol at blaming coaches for this one. This was the worst defensive effort I've seen from this team in years. There are 5 defensive breakdowns every time down the floor. Its beyond breakdowns. Its approaching laziness. And you just can't be lazy in a game like this.

The Iso offense is an embarrassment and cannot succed in today's game. When the team is playing well they zip the ball around. And all their elite players ARE good passers. The fact that they allow themselves to be pushed into it so often is more than a weakness. Its hubris. They have been clubbed by GSW and SAS now. Its time for the team to change its stripes. If they don't it will likely mean another Finals loss.

It's just another jarring disappointment in a moment where we were able to measure ourselves. And it's been like this in every one of those instances this year. I mean not quite to this degree, but we haven't won a single big game this year.

While the effort wasn't there the scheme put us at a disadvantage. The game plan was all wrong. That's on Blatt and Lue.
 
Well good thing we don't play those guys again this year. Let's hope we don't play them in June! Get better every week
 
People who don't want Warriors in the Finals are lame.
