You're new here(relatively), so welcome to the Game Thread experience.
Just wait until we expect to win every game if you think the hot takes are flying around free and easy now. Many have had the same reaction as you do and you're not wrong, but Game Thread is a different kind of experience. You'll get used to it.
Seriously though, welcome. Post more. Good posts, bad posts, hot takes, find a mortal enemy, React love bomb the posters you like, post a while drunk a few times, add a weird avatar, peep your head in Off Topic, run the whole gamut.
When you’re serious about basketball like most of this forum, there’s room to nitpick. I think it comes from a place of “we could be fucking unstoppable if we clean a few of these things up”I have never seen a forum with more knee-jerk reactions than what I see here. The Cavs have their second straight blow-out win over two supposedly very good teams. But here, I read things like: We got a bit sloppy. Committed too many turnovers. JBB doesn't know how to substitute. Rubio is playing like shit (even though he was a +38). Mobley is having a terrible game (because he was 0-3 at one point). Mark' is off. Blah, blah, blah. 1000 things happen in a basketball game -- they won't all be good.
We all want to optimize. When you talk about making things better, you talk about what mistakes can be corrected, what improvements can be made. You don’t talk about what you did right.I have never seen a forum with more knee-jerk reactions than what I see here.

At this point in his career, i like that he is our break glass in case of emergency big. Able to play when needed, but better using our other 5 first.
At the end of the preseason when the Cavs thrashed the Pacers in Indiana (starters only played first half and limited minutes, bench came in and continued to beat up the Pacers starters), that was one of those moments that had me raise my eyebrows on the prospects of this team going into the year.
They're getting better and better and rising up to the challenge. Sky is the limit.
I asked @Ben to Ban me last year for 3 weeks during this same timeframe because of how busy my work gets between Black Friday and Christmas and how much time I spend on here when the season is ongoing.
He was pretty confused that someone would ask for a ban rather than just have the self restraint to not log on but like the gentlemen he is, he banned my ass
