Who is this and when did he get on our team? And you're missing an o in there.

Ah shit, long day, it happens

Team loses, he trolls. This act gets old.

Yes, because the act of people trolling when we win because they want to lose is so much more acceptable.

Whoever was at the game or saw the tweet. My cousins friend is the one who said "I hate you Lebron". He sent me video but you can barely make it out of what he says.

Don't know if anyone else saw it, but Blake was having a nice extended conversation with Tristan and showing him something basketball related.

All I know is they didn't play well enough to get what is most important; a win.

wins are not the only thing too look for .. it is called a developing rebuild... sad that you have not figured out this team is not good enough to win on a regular basis

Neither is really acceptable to me. Never accept a loss but not to look for bright spots is kinda pointless and counter productive with this young team.

I never said it was. I HATE when people come into the game threads and bitch about winning.

That has been much less of a problem this year, perhaps because the Cavs underperformed so much at the start of the year. We'll keep an eye on it as things get closer to the end. It got pretty intense the last 10 games last season. :chuckles:

If it makes you feel better, they have a 4-game road trip coming up, and Al Jefferson was wearing a walking boot when he got to the arena today after spraining his ankle last game....

Really like the Lakers chances to catch Utah... I am already preparing the options at pick 16/17 thread:chuckles:

In a loss? Who gives a shit about how well people played in a loss?

This may be the stupidest thing I've ever read on these boards. Congrats.

The team is young . they will have nights like these. hell old teams sometimes have nights like these. its not reallya big deal. what s more important is how they bounce back after having one of these games or if they slide into a 3 or 4 game skid

I put this loss on Scott. He allowed the cavaliers to get away with the bad defense on the guards, and let Livingston run the offense when waiters should have taken a much bigger chunk of the offense today. Waiters ended up with 17 and 6, but far too often livingston took the ball out of his hands. No reason waiters should have only played 26 minutes. chris Paul, and Chauncey were clearly outmatched by waiters' athleticism, and quickness. Gee didn't have the speed to guard paul, gee did nothing all game. this was a perfect game for the cavaliers to go small with gibson, and defend the pick and roll. Gibson gets over screens the best on the team, and has much more tenacity defensively. chris Paul doesn't get 15 assists or be splitting double teams with a proper match up on him. Have to defend the point of attack against the clippers, and the cavs failed to do that.

You obviously didn't watch the game. Waiters played so little because he was in foul trouble the entire 1st half, then when he sat to start the 4th, like normal, the game was far out of hand by the time he was supposed to come back in, so he came in for like 20 seconds and was taken right back out with the game over. When Gee was actually in the game, he was doing just fine on CP3 defensively, but again, he was in foul trouble the entire game. Alonzo Gee has a nice track record of shutting CP3 down, and he was well on his way until CP3 baited and flopped Alonzo into foul trouble. This loss was not on Scott, this loss was on players being in foul trouble, turning the ball over too much, and allowing too many 2nd opportunities for the Clippers (3 things that we have been very good at as of late, just not tonight).
