Rooting for a LeBron team will never be fun because the expectation is to win every game by 20 and a title every year. Happiness is about expectations

I try to make this point the other day and it got a little chippy

Guess who had the worst +/- again? Too easy?

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Championship window closed. Complements of the worst coach in basketball.

Meaningless stat.

Why? because it doesn't suit your argument? If it was a meaningless stat no one would ever use it. And i've seen multiple people use it to show Thompson's ineffectiveness (which I agree with).

Doesn't tell the full story but he was -15 while on the court. Only player who was worse was Thompson -18.

That's not fair. He had to be on the court with TK.

No, it's meaningless when your best players are coming off the bench and Ced isn't part of that group in the second half, while every starter outside of him is.

The starters all had similar plus minus at the half and Cedi barely played in the second half.

anybody else find this season hilarious in a sick sort of way?

Agree that some of our best players come off the bench. But Cedi is not one of our best players. He plays with energy but him getting more minutes tonight wasn't the issue (which is the point that I originally disagreed with you). The issue is TT is on this team and gets too many minutes (anything more than 0 is too many). While that continues to happen we will be shit whether Cedi plays 10 or 40min.

Cedi almost played a perfect game tonight. He will not make his mark when he shares the floor with defensive holes in TT and Jr, especially with this defensive scheme. Defense is his calling, but tonight he could have been a much more of a factor on the offensive end as he had his way every time he got the ball and decided to attack.

I'm putting the offensive side at rest here for the time being, but if we continue to put negative defensive players on the floor with him, Cavs will continue to miss his defensive impact that he can provide. This is a collective unit, he will go down with this group, he isn't an anchor. You put okay defensive players on the floor and he will thrive.

What a rough season to watch. Just not fun.

Remember when we made those trades and we had fun for 2 games? Those were good times

Cavs double Center all second half (in 3pt line) and let open best Denver 3pt shooter....

Why Lue have a job??? TT 27min, Nance 20min....

Why Lue have a job?

 

[KilgoreTrout]

the only positive I see is lue is getting exposed. hopefully the Dan or Koby see it and does somethiing about it.

Fat chance.

 

[SteelSmack]

Looks like the Cavs defense forgot there was a game just like I did. I missed the game and I don't even care.

Can we fire Longabardi now?

 

[Vectoze]

Going to be real hard to make The Finals, without HCA in any round...

I'll be surprised if we reach the final at this point
