These are the kinds of ends that make you hate basketball the sport

Refs with the help of Caris just handed the Jazz a victory

What a league the NBA is.

Taking a break from the league for a week or so after this one. Ain’t fun watching that shit. Ain’t basketball.

JBB in the huddle: "you see #45 here on the marker board? Just give him the ball."

Mitchell with a I knew that was coming look.

 

[Phil Mixtape]

NOPE, not refs at all, fuck that shit . . .

I seriously fucking hate Caris Levert. I don't think I have disliked a single Cavs player this much.

One game is one game but can’t help but feel Koby watches this one and thinks… yeah I’m okay with talking LeVert trade some more

This is the 3rd or 4th time his actions have cost us. His ass should have been long gone.

What other times are you referring to?

He's probably thinking the entire wing rotation is garbage. Okoro, Stevens, LeVert, and Cedi all have their flashes of usefulness but none of them are consistent.

I just hope Wade's poor shooting before he went out was due to his shoulder.

How do you review those plays and not see Clarkson jumping like 1 yard forward on the first three then leaning on the second? Refs got money on this game.

I don't know, but we won't find out. This team's coach was gutless about it in the post-game presser.

When it’s tight game like this it is only about Spida and Garland to pull the team up.Where are other 8 players and what were they doing?Cavs is probably the only team in NBA that dont have any single guy off the bench to be able to produce over 15 pts on a consistent basis.we are slowly going down the table closer to play-in teams which indicates team is not progressing much compared to previous season ,even with addition of DN.Poorly coached or poorly structured team,thats the question we need to answer in next week or two.

People saying it was levert fault is crazy the refs made up their mind the Cavs had no room at all for error. It all started with the out of bounds call no Cavs player touched it and right the next play the barrage of calls. It was so obvious clarkson was foul baiting and when we were down by 13 we made shots after shots to get back in the game. The jazz were 3-23 for fuck sake in the 4th and the refs gave them the game. RealGM who’s biased all said this shit was rigged. Nba has a problem that only us fans can see and I don’t see them fixing it. I love my Cavs and love this team for over 20 years but fuck this league is making it hard to follow. This is Disney like shit we are witnessing.

Garland needs the ball in his hands less. This team needs a tough veteran in the worst way.

Yep - everyone will blame Levert (with good reason) but it was 107-102 and we had the ball with 1:50 left when Mighty Mouse dribbled it off his own foot out of bounds. Right then is when the Clarkson bs happened
