Here's the bottom line. There will be no more Cavs fans by the time Byron Scott's contract is done. He is the root of all of these issues. He cannot motivate the players at halftime to come out and play. They do not want to play for him. The newest guys have now stopped playing hard. It is Byron.

Screw Kyrie's affection for the coach. It looks like Kyrie is looking for a way out this year. If you want a future, you need a coach that makes you play.

There is talent here, but no drive. Dan Gilbert's franchise has lost 60% of its value. Fans are tired of the sleepwalking Cavs. I know I am.

Moo

With all due respect, who is that coach?

And we're all tired of your shitty posts rehashing the same terrible things.

Nowhere to be found? I read the threads everyday. I am on the air everyday. I have an opinion based on inconsistent effort by this team. We are NOT improving with young talent. It IS the coach. Hope this helps.

Do you realize you are nowhere to ever be found when things are going right? You're a damn ghost. But man, as soon as you have something to complain about, there you go, with one of these stupid ass rants about Byron Scott.

What is this based on? Because it can't be the W-L record, which undeniably says we have improved since the trade.

I mean your posts don't even make sense. In one sentence you say Kyrie has affection for the coach and in the very next sentence you say he's looking for a way out. Does that not register as contradictory to you?

 

[moohead]

Yet you sift through 100 tank posts every game. Nothing reactionary. Based on 3 seasons of this coach. Same issues. He loses his team wherever he coaches. Look at the record. Thanks. You're cool, too (moo)

And even though I think your a super cool guy, this low quality and reactionary analysis is why I've never listened to your show.

Well, the Cavs have the exact same record right now as they did 63 games into last season (21-42). But I do agree that this year they are accomplishing it with youth, and the young players are getting time and getting better.

So untrue. Has not been that way at all this year, unless you like multiplying things by 10 just to be sensational.

BUt how has he lost his team? Explain to me the obvious improvement in the team from the start of the season to this point and then come up with an explanation for how that correlates into losing the team.

When a player suggests sitting out the remainder of the year when he has a sore knee, I begin to wonder. He is under-conditioned, and is clearly thinking about his aches and pains.

We are NOT better. We have now lost 4 of last 5, and the new players have slowed down. Speights had a run in with Byron at practice (not reported by local press). I base my opinions on real information, not one game.

Byron Scott had a run in with a player known for being a knuckle head, and our oft-injured young pg is banged up, and that somehow points to the fact that Scott has lost this team?

Not following.

 

[BimboColesHair]

What does Byron have to coach with, Moo? His 2nd best player hasn't touched the floor in months, Kyrie can't stay healthy, Alonzo Gee is starting at SF, and Luke Walton has to play heavy minutes at back up PF. The fact that we are actually in games and beating good teams says a lot about the coaching. And you say we aren't "improving with young talent" when the opposite is happening. There are no Jamison, Sessions, Parker, Boobie led victories coming this year, they're all led by Kyrie, Dion, Tristan, Speights, Zeller, Ellington...all of those guys are 25 years old or younger and potentially have long term futures on the team.

Byron suggested shutting Kyrie down, not the other way around. And Kyrie was under-conditioned and thinking about his aches and pains as soon as he got into the league, and before then. How exactly is that Byron Scotts fault.

And that's a neat stat, except 3 of the 4 were to teams CLEARLY better than we are. By a wide, wide margin. If you're suggesting we should be beating those teams on a regular basis, then you clearly over-estimate where this team should be right now.

 

[moohead]

The players individually have improved. But they are NOT playing together as well as they should. The second unit moves the ball better than the first unit, which should NOT be the case by this point in the season. We improved our bench with a trade, but our young starters come out like a deer in the headlights every 3rd quarter. Zeller and Ky are not in NBA shape. Speights is 15 pounds overweight. Ellington can lose 10. Yet Byron wants to run? But they don't run. They walk it up for 3 quarters every game. The coach has been unable to deliver the tempo he promised. The players can't (won't) do it. Byron whines about sleepwalking all the time. The team does not respond with effort. Byron disses rookies. He is known to favor older players, and that hurts a young roster.

Should I go on?

These are the types of games I like to see. Games that are entertaining and close down to the wire. If we win it like we almost did today thanks to the young players like Dion, great!...if not, it's not a totally discouraging loss, as Lowry hit an amazing shot...
