Do Not Sell My Personal Information
That corner is about to be turned hard y'all.

Why is anyone surprised that Dion got yanked. The previous play he slumped his shoulders and stood still. Then after kyrie missed the shot and dion was the only man back he literally made zero attempt to defend the 2 on 1 break and put his head down and just started walking the other way.

Not sure how anyone could have missed that.

It was a 2 on 1 fast break. The ball handler had a trailer on his side. It was a guaranteed bucket. Dion was trying to bait the ball handler into going up for the layup and he was sizing up the block. The defender passed it off to the trailer as soon as Dion committed.

I didn't see a problem with it. Or actually I did until I realized that Dion was attempting to bait the ball handler.
 
Rockets are a good team. Liked what I saw from Kyrie for most of the night. A shame we can't play with this energy more.

I just watched the play on replay 5x, couple that with the previous possession and there is no way he is staying in the game.

He literally starts walking toward the bench before the pass is even made with his head looking at the floor (guessing he was pissed at kyries shot)
 
God forbid a coach play someone with the talent of Jarrett Jack. Do any of you watch basketball? So he's miscast on the Cavs, but that doesn't mean the dude can't ball out. He's one of our better players despite some of his performances this season. We just don't know how to utilize all the talent we DO have.
 
A lot of negativity tonight, I'm actually OK with the loss

They played a better team but at least they came out and played hard, it's better than what we saw the other night
 
I didn't get to watch the game, but what's up with the negative posts about Dion? Why did he only play 26 minutes today when he was shooting very well. It looks like Dion and Kyrie had 4+ turnovers each.

They did play hard. Games like this just show that its not all Brown. The team just isn't very good. Thats on Grant.

Coach is awful, and I don't know what to say, but our young players are mediocre. I don't really care which one you like, they're mediocre.
 
Tristan's in a slump: 3rd straight game without double figures in either points or rebounds. Only happened 10 times this season prior to the last 3 games.

Hindsight champion of the world? Where I wait until results are in before I take the most negative view on the things that I can and stay silent on the positive things? No, not quite there, captain hindsight.

Agreed. There are a lot of things going on that culminate with what we are seeing on a nightly basis. People underestimate how important chemistry is for a basketball team. I love Waiters for his passion and heart, but it is also his worst enemy. There were 5 to 6 times tonight where he completely sulked and gave up on a play for various reasons. It is pretty obvious that the whole team has growing up to do, but when there are such obvious chemistry issues things need to change.

Dion has what I like to call "big dick syndrome" He is the guy that rolls into the porn shoot knowing hes packing 11 inches and Jenna Haze wants to go out with him after the shoot. Problem is, when Dion disrobes hes rocking 6 inches at full mast.

His talent quite simply does not match his attitude, and his expectations about what he should be able to do on the court.
