Game 65 Emergency thread | Cavs @ Clips

[InBoobieWeTrust]

Welp, sure glad I wasted hours to watch this crapfest. Fun stuff.

I watched the first quarter, saw LeBron's body language for exactly 2 minutes, knew what it was about to be, and turned it off until late in the third just because I got done with what I was doing and wanted to see if LeBron's "not trying until the 4th quarter, if I'm within 10 I can attempt a comeback" strategy worked today.

I mean the Cavs got blitzed by 18 points in the 1st quarter. Lol. LeBron got scored on by every single dude he guarded multiple times. It was just so obvious that he enjoyed his Thursday night in L.A. and didn't have much interest in competing. Same shit will happen against the Lakers except we should be able to beat them 130-125 or something.

Larry Nance Jr with 16pts, 15rbds (5 offensive)., 1 steal, 1 block.

Great game if you consider Lue gave him no help at all.

He should have moved him up to PF and put in Zizic at C.. they were going really big all game.. Hill jr Lebron nance Zizic.. instead he just kept going smaller with green?

I’m confused.. if you’re gonna hack Jordan for 2 minutes then why not bring Korver in the game sooner or Clarkson? Clearly you need scoring during this time and you’re not worrying about defense because no one is guarding while you’re hacking..

Then Jeff you’re WIDE OPEN.. feel free to step in and take a shorter shot..


We played stupid tonight...

 

[benchplayer]

It’s ridiculous.. what else can he do but take a contested shot on plays like that when they all just pick a spot on the outside and don’t move the whole shot clock? Lol

I agree, This problem begins and ends with lue, and the trade is proof of that. Before the trade, we had a bad defense and stagnant offense and we still do, even after trading for better defensive player. The problem was never really player
personnel, the problem is the coaches.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

I have come to the realization that I hate Lue worse than any coach in Cleveland sports history in the last quarter century...Cavs, Browns, or Indians. In fact, watchimg him on the sideline makes me wonder if Eric Wedge can coach this team better.

Don’t know I he’a worse than Silas, Lucas, Manny Acta, Crennel, Hargrove... But he’s the right guy if you want to close a championship window prematurely...

 

[kookoo]

Zizic had two good games in a row so what does Lue do? Play him 6 minutes... I can't remember who was arguing with me on Lue's usage of Zizic, but it's shameful the amount he's going to stunt a player's growth while simultaneously shoving a player who just doesn't have it, into the lineup. The Cavs can never win a championship again with that level of stupidity at the coaching position. You're fucking up players who have come in hungry too. I want to blame that on LeBron.

And if we think they can turn it on and have a cakewalk to the finals, that's not going to happen this year. We're going to be up against multiple extremely tough teams. There is a higher risk of an upset in the East than there is in the West this season.

 

[Real Deal]

Team was indeed a mess tonight. Maybe I need to just temper my expectations because it does indeed look like LeBron and role players out there. It's sad that this has what become of losing Kyrie.

I just hope it doesn't lose LeBron. Should we expect Love to be super Love when he comes back?

Korver ALSO couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn...

Hell, he couldn’t hit the farm the barn is on.

other coaches after blowouts:

"If I was a San Antonio fan tonight, I would ask for my money back," Gregg popovich

"We played with no sense of urgency, no sense of purpose" Steve kerr

and then there was Lue "we just gotta be aggressive"

I love when he talks about how Hood "needs to be more aggressive".

Can anyone explain to me how one can stand in the corner more aggressively?

Was at the game tonight in LA. It's funny how much better LeBron is then everybody else when he wants it. Really frustrating when he doesn't care to guard the 3 pt line though

Also can't believe how bad Jeff Green was tonight. Missed so many easy shots and stupid TOs. Cavs really need Love back ASAP

Got to say Zizic did look good in person. Active big body and was comfortable when he got the ball. I think he has a good future in the league
