Game 66 | Cavs (38-27) @ Lakers (29-36)| March 11, 2018 | 9:00pm EST (Disney Theme)

Not at all.. cuz it’s a shitty team with one of the worst coaches in nba history.. if anything it gives him a worthy excuse to leave and go to a different team again.. there’s not much he can do to change this team with a coach like Lue.. we could get 2 more all stars and I still think Lue would somehow fuck it up..

I still don't get that if this is the mentality, why the fuck is Lue still the coach? I'd have fired him before the season started to be honest.

I look like an idiot to my friends, I've seen this story before of the Cavs playing like shit, these last two game though, this loss was unbelievably horrendous, I don't know how I can keep sticking up for them.

THIS is when the game was lost:

4:00 Jordan Clarkson enters the game for Jeff Green 76 - 80
4:00 Kyle Korver enters the game for Larry Nance Jr. 76 - 80
4:00 Ante Zizic enters the game for JR Smith 76 - 80
4:00 Isaiah Thomas enters the game for Lonzo Ball 76 - 80
4:00 Kentavious Caldwell-Pope makes free throw 1 of 2 76 - 80
4:00 George Hill shooting foul 76 - 79
4:07 Julius Randle defensive rebound 76 - 79
4:11 LeBron James misses 17-foot step back jumpshot 76 - 79
4:37 Kyle Kuzma makes 27-foot three point jumper 76 - 79

Kuzma 3, LeBron miss, Hill foul; Clarkson, Korver, and Zizic in for Smith, Green, and Nance; IT in for the Lakers. Our defense goes to shit; IT heats up. We get outscored 17-6 over the next 4 minutes.

We fought all the way back, and then Kuzma drills a 27-footer, Clarkson and Korver get brought in, and contribute nothing on either end...

But Lue is the coach because BRON WANTED IT THAT WAY...

Don't care.. going to watch his highlights on YouTube. I have plenty to get by.

Ordered your tissues and lubricants from Amazon?

Nope, still have some Vaseline from 5 years ago. I can last longer with it.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Cavs depleted that's the weak excuse for tonight... Shut the F up Phelps!

Lakers were missing Brandon Ingram, even...

 

[kookoo]

WTF bro!

You do realize he is in his 15th season, right?

A lot of past greats had retired by now. Yet he is playing at a high level.

Now, if he plays poorly in a series vs Raptors/Boston ala the Dallas series, yeah. It will be a negative mark on his legacy. But if he plays well but we get bounced out, Skip Bayless aside no one would consider it as a black mark on his legacy.

The man is bionic. Let's not make his age the excuse. We praise him on nights for being incredible so we're allowed to give him shit when he's playing poorly on the defensive end? Additionally, if he's old, take a game or two off.

The things he fucks up on, on the defensive end aren't even plays he needs to put more effort into. Stay with your guy and put your hand up. It's not like anyone is asking him to be the defensive stopper he once was. If he played AVERAGE defense, we'd be winning games easily. Like he did for the first two games we had the new guys.

Might have kept Kyrie...

Man, later.

The team has drained any positive energy I had to have an ounce of discussion/debate now.

 

[benchplayer]

OK, at what point do we say the defensive and offensive scheme just doesn't WORK! Altman and dan made trades at the deadline saying "it just didn't work", then the new younger, more athletic guys come in
and its still not working. At some point, you have to start looking and the leader.

What in the mothafuck happened.

Why did Julius Randle put up a prime LeBron statline.

Holy shit.

 

[Certo17]

But Lue is the coach because BRON WANTED IT THAT WAY...

Yea cuz blatt was a shitty coach too that the players didn’t get along with.. so they went to Lue and we ended up winning a championship with Lue so they thought they had a good coach.. but lil did they know that when Lue completely integrated his coaching process with his choice of coaching staff the season after they won it all that he ended up being a worse coach then blatt.. but the players just like and respect him for some reason and they weren’t gonna fire him after they gave him that big contract also. They were definitely way too quick with giving him a contract like they did before he even coached for a full season.

Holy shit.

He played hard and physical. Cavs are beyond soft. Anybody that works hard is going to get numbers on us. If you combine physicality with your energy, you will have a monster gave if you have some talent.
