Or maybe the cavs just aren't that good yet, mike brown plays too many guys, nobody is really comfortable out there offensively, and Kyrie plays too much hero ball.

Could've gotten a better look. That's the most important thing. The chances of that shot going in....

You gonna defend him for dribbling off his foot too?

People always miss this. When the other team knows you're shooting a 3, it's not really hard for them to defend against it. There is no magic play that makes them disappear from the court. They knew what we wanted to do, what we had to do. It's not tough to defend that.

I saw some good things from the Cavs tonight, thought they actually played a half decent game. Bucks just shot the lights out, what can you do. This will probably end up being a good loss, should get them fired up to defend better the next time out atleast. Still early folks, this isn't a championship caliber team right now, still developing...stop panicking.

 

[Rondo]

We should be 1-4

When you don't apply any pressure to the 3 point line and let guys get it rolling from out there, you can't turn around after the game and say it was a fluke and you couldn't do anything about it. Maybe if you actually played defense to start, you could have prevented both Mayo and Neal from getting into a rhythm.

This was just a shit game all around. No excuse to lose to an already mediocre at best team down a handful of key players.

 

[Rich]

who's betting the people saying chill out its only the 5th game will be the people down the line who start saying chill out it's only the 40th game.

This cav's team is average and nothing special.

No kidding. Average is what they're supposed to be. The people predicting 55 wins were crazy. The ones who ACTUALLY believed it...not sure what to tell them.

MUST BEAT PHILLY.







Both times.

 

[Ohio]

41-41 should get us in the playoffs in the East.

That's why the daily overreactions are hilarious. The Cavs are about a .500 team this season. It's what they are supposed to do. They're pretty much showing that to start the season. .500 is easily good enough for the playoffs in the East.

 

[Rich]

Gonna troll the game thread? Getting close to reaching that Dave K douche level. Think about that.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Jack with a -19

Yeah, yeah bad stat -- but not tonight...

The Cavs were also bad without him.

By definition: weren't the Cavs +14 without him?

 

[Huber.]

It is called playing to the level of your competition.

That and playing in Charlotte or Milwaukee is like playing a pickup game at the rec center with some parents watching. No atmosphere all so they just kind of go through the motions.

 

[3 Da Hard Way]

CJ Miles caught staring at the ball instead of boxing out Butler

Wonder if that's what he was pissed about getting subbed out why Mayo shot 3's. Thought he was yelling at someone else, Must've been at himself

.500 should be losing to the good teams, beating the shitty teams. If we lose to the shitty teams and the good teams, we are back to the lottery.

Again, "Kyrie hero ball" scored a shit ton of points at the end of the 4th quarter to go from down 12 to having the lead. Only superstars do that.

The game shouldn't have even been that close to begin with.
