Game 55 | Nuggets vs. Cavaliers | February 18, 2010 | 8:00 EST

[-Akronite-]

I remember our last "hard to take" loss. It was followed by a 13 game win streak. We'll be fine.

 

[CHIMOCHIS]

It took Melo balling out of his mind for them to win, if Moon was on Melo that last shot, I bet we go to a 2nd ot.

lol wut, people really overrate MOON's defense. I would of liked him to play in this game, but more for his rebounds that he gets

BRON BRON should really only attempt 3 3pointers a game

 

[Frank Stallone]

Okay first off if any of us start bitching...we should go f**k off. We wont THIRTEEN IN A ROW. You need a back to earth loss sometimes, plus they did not deserve to win. Missed easy layups and free throws, lets face it...they make those they win.

Also, we were down a key player with Z gone and Antawn not playing. Plus Shaq in foul trouble KILLED us. Tomorrow, if we lose, then I will be a bit ticked off.

We had a good run with Gibson in, time for Mo to start working his way back in. It adds a whole 'nother dimension.

I didn't EXPECT a loss, but I knew going in this could be the one we lose, we did...we still have the best record...move on to Charlotte.

 

[Showmeyourbolt]

I have a feeling the next 10 or so games could remind us of the first 10 of the season. Guys trying to fnd their role, getting used to each other.

Don't get too down if it doesn't look pretty the next few games... We have adjustments to make...

Good luck telling that to some of the people who frequent these game threads.

 

[Selby]

No excuses at all here. I'm not going to come up with some stupid shitty excuse for why we lost, it is because we sucked from the free throw line. That is why we lost.

I don't care if we didn't have Z, Jamison, or if it was Mo's first game back, or if it was right after the trade deadline. None of that has to do with making free throws.

 

[ACDC_Rocks024]

You can tell LBJ will come out MEAN tomorrow...

 

[cdt]

Skip: the Jamison trade backfired! The Nuggets held him to 0 points he couldn't even get a shot off. LePrince inflated his stats last night at the expense of his team. Carmelo is the best player from the 03 class slightly above Wade and Nick Collison. I absolutely think Jay Cutler is the best QB since Montana and the Cavaliers are getting bounced in the 2nd round by the Charlotte Bobcats who will beat them for the 3rd time this season tomorrow night.

 

[TJ Detweiler]

Lebron 3P: 9-1
Total free frow: 40-23

Lebron should really stop chucking so many 3's

So LB made 9 threes and shot 1 :chuckles:

What a majestic display of ability, I didn't even know he could do that!

 

[Andrew]

The thing I hate is after these type of losses, the Cavs learn absolutely nothing. Lebron continues to chuck at the end of games and the offense slows to a crawl.

They learn EVERYTHING. They learn, although they should already know this, not to take a top 5 team lightly. They learn that if they played defense in the first half, the outcome could have been differently. They learn they suck shooting FTs and must practice to get better.

They learn a lot.

 

[redscoon]

Can't make excuses for this. Seven point lead at home in the 4th quarter and you are getting whatever you want when you actually attack and run some offense. That's a game you don't lose regardless of the opponent.

Melo made Lebron look bad defensively. I think that's why he stormed off the court the way he did. He was manned up on Melo and beat repeatedly with the game on the line.

Really don't understand the love affair with Parker. He must be the new Ben Wallace that plays in key moments just because he's a veteran.

Does this game call for a Blanks/Ferry behind closed door meeting with MB? :chuckles:

WOW! Mike Brown had the worst possible players out there at the worst times!

 

[MoGottiFor3]

I hate when we lose these type of games.

I'd prefer losing by 10+ than shooting our selves in the foot and losing.

 

[camakazee]

Lebron 3P: 9-1
Total free frow: 40-23

Lebron should really stop chucking so many 3's

Some crazy improper fractions at work there.

 

[Amherstcavsfan]

Does this game call for a Blanks/Ferry behind closed door meeting with MB?

WOW! Mike Brown had the worst possible players out there at the worst times!

And yet, we still should have won by 10.

Blame the players for missing their FT's.

 

[Surge]

No excuses at all here. I'm not going to come up with some stupid shitty excuse for why we lost, it is because we sucked from the free throw line. That is why we lost.

Did you just proclaim not to make an excuse, then make an excuse??? :chuckles:

I like your moves...
