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

[Rondo]

Well that was painful to watch.

People still watching this fail team?

Well everyone...looks like I've completed all 5 phases of grief with this team.
I was watching this game tonight, saw the Cavs slowly dig themselves into an unclimbable hole, and simply did not care.

...felt pretty good, actually.

I agree. I DVR now and come watch in blocks. Losing by over 8, ff 10 mins, under 8 watch. So it's safe to say the past week I don't have to watch many games. Amazing how much that PHX game f!cked us. Broke the team and the will.

Feels like Dion didn't even play tonight.. Damn

Yep. Dion wont be a Cavalier after the deadline

 

[Rich]

No. DW will be a starter once he keeps his yap shut and understands he isn't a star....yet. He, KI, LD, could be a great all-star core if he'd just shut up and play ball.

Writing is on the wall. He's gonna get traded.

I don't think the front office is going to wait around for this to happen. I like Dion but he's gone, imo

 

[Mr. Blonde]

I lol every time I see sims run.

 

[Cavsfan1985]

He didn't.

When he did he played like ass. Did not deserve any playing time. Typical Dion miss a few early shots and his head is gone.

At least Jack looks pissed at the end. I mean how could you even hold your head up after games like this? Trade deadline cannot come faster.

 

[Stark]

Mike Brown rides an obviously hobbled Luol Deng to the buzzer down 17.

Fuck this guy. He wouldn't have a job if LeBron wouldn't of carried him to relevance.

He's out there playing with guys who don't understand fundamentals. he drives baseline one side, and no one cuts down the weak side. He got pissed at that point.

Vince Carter probably told Kyrie he better get the hell out of Cleveland.

 

[Jack Brickman]

Probably because Mike gave him the quick yank after six minutes and then barely gave him any time throughout the rest of the game to find his groove. He played five fucking minutes in the final three quarters.

You can't develop young talent if you don't give the kids time to play through mistakes. Take a timeout and tell Dion what he's doing wrong that you'd like him to fix, then put him back in instead of pulling him. This isn't rocket science. It's basic developmental coaching. This team isn't going anywhere anyway, so we might as well feature the young guys and see what we've got. Zeller got three fucking minutes tonight. That's unacceptable.

His head is gone because he is treated way differently then other players. Brown rides him like no other.

 

[NattyPButter]

he looks like a robot

Thoughts:

1) Dion played 10 minutes and didn't score. Didn't notice him and it feels like he will be gone.

2) Varejao is hurt

3) Deng is more hurt.
