Game #48 Cleveland Cavaliers @ Dallas Mavericks 8:30 P.M. EST

[JFT]

Man this team can look so damn good for stretches of the game and then go and totally redeem it.

That's what a re-build young team looks like. Come back in 5 years and you'll see Indiana.

Dalembert is getting bunnies thanks to the perimeter defense

watch that last play again. Ellis didnt even bother putting a move on Kyrie, he just ran by him.

 

[Rich]

Just go at Kyrie. Doesn't matter the player. This would honestly be my strategy when playing the Cavs. Spread out, let whoever Kyrie is guarding go 1on1 and watch as he gets blown by over and over again.

 

[Toph]

trade kyrie for rondo. he can pass and play D. i bet the celtics wouldnt trade straight up. i cant stand kyrie on D

I bet they would.

Fucking stop. Rondo's like six or seven years older and has already expressed that he can't wait to test free agency. You think he'd stay in a Cleveland when teams like the Knicks, Lakers, and Mavericks are going to be options?

Last year I don't remember this team getting blown out so many times like they are this season

I feel like you do.

-5.9 pt differential this year vs -4.7 pt differential last year.

I've watched Irving the last three possessions and the opposing player he's guarding, has blown right by him. This leaves the Cavs defense in a state of flux and Dallas soars for an easy layup or the last possession was an alley-oop

 

[OptimusPrime]

Never mind. I see Bennett out there.

 

[Rich]

what game are you watching? he has kept dirk hanging out at the three line most the time. notice how many more times the cavs get to the rim when he is in.

This game. His last 3 attempt he was about as open as human being can be on the basketball court. He hasn't been challenged on a single jumper all night.

Last year we lost 20 games by 6 points or less, aka tanking, atleast imo. Better players this year, younger guys more experienced, yet we've regressed. Byron >>> Brown by a mile.

Edit: and no Andy most the season, and our point differential is worse this year.

 

[Akron330]

Dion is obviously going to be the odd man out

I know what it is. Ive been saying it dude.

And after 5 more years which is an 8-9 year rebuild they better be like Indiana. I have high hopes for this team. I was just stating the obvious.

Dion is obviously going to be the odd man out

every player is the odd man out

 

[OptimusPrime]

Austin Carr. Kyrie is having a good time with Ellis, but not as good a time as Ellis is having with him.

They did, but they also looked more able to pull-off an upset against a good team. I can safely say that the stretch right after the Speights-Ellington trade was the most exciting moment of the last 4 years.
