Tyrone Lue wants to run more lol. The only way to beat this team is to muck the game up, like they did in the 1st quarter and half the 3rd quarter. Problem is Cavs run absolutely no offense. Do they even run any plays?
Can you find a team with a bunch of these players on it? Find them on OKC. Westbrook, when he's dialed in. Now, who after that scores "on their own" and plays "good to great defense?" San Antonio has.......one? Again, just one? These players are both rare and expensive.
Yup. It's really a shame. I could really see us up 2-0 against the Thunder with home court. Instead we're down 0-2.OKC was up 3-1 and Golden State came back to win 4-3. So how the %$#^ does anyone beat them at this point. If we can't protect home-court, then that becomes a serious question for not just us but the entire NBA.
Refs have had nothing to do with this series. Sure they make some bad calls, but the Cavs have been shit on both ends of the floor. Until that changes, the games won't.
Fuck all the fairweather fans masquerading around the wrong website.
I don't watch the Cavs because they're in the Finals again or playing well, I watch them because I'm a die-hard Cleveland Cavalier fan and I have to fucking watch.
Yeah..... I'm playing the Real Cavs Fans card. A lot of you have me questioning your fucking credentials.
Players who are plus offense and plus defense are rare and expensive. But a two way player is just someone who is not a minus on either side (offense or defense). Can defend at a competent / league average level and can score when not paid much attention by the opposing defense. OKC has a ton of those guys. We have very few.
I think you're mis-interpreting what I'm saying, or perhaps I'm not stating it in the proper way. I love the Cavs. As you can see by my join date I officially hopped on board prior to the 2010 playoffs, but I lurked for a long time prior.
I suffered through watching some of the worst basketball I've ever seen in my life as a Cavs fan. Those Darius Miles / Ricky Davis / Tractor Trailer (RIP) teams were atrocious. As you can also see by my join date, the majority of my posts took place in the post-LeBron era. In fact, I stopped posting as frequently once LeBron came back because all of the band-wagon fans his return brought.
I had to shut tonight's game off three minutes into the 3rd. As a long-suffering Cleveland fan, I couldn't take the torture.
Truthfully, I'd rather watch a team of scrubs play their heart out than watch a team of All-Stars show no interest in the game. At least show some fucking heart. At least make it look like you give two shits. If you're getting punched in the mouth, fight back. We swept Detroit, but they at least didn't take it kindly. This team looks like they enjoy getting pounded.
To have someone call me a fair-weather fan because I'm upset with a high-paid team underperforming is a bit of a joke. Perhaps you need to check your own blind loyalty and remove the wine colored glasses.
This team is severely flawed and would need probably the biggest miracle in the history of the NBA to even make this a series. It's not like we're facing the sisters of the poor. This is the mid 90's Bulls vs. the Jazz. Even though the Jazz had some great players, everyone (sans the Jazz fans) knew the Bulls were going to win those series. Not really any different this year.
Respect for sticking around through the Ricky Davis/Darius Miles era, but someone has to remind you the series isn't over.
It sucks we lost tonight, but it's a complete overreaction to say you'd rather watch the team tank than this. That's just silly talk, if you believe otherwise you can root for the 76ers. I guess they've got their priorities right.
And in no world is LeBron James leaving. That's just asinine, no coincidence it seems plausible to you tonight. That's your emotions talking.
This loss sucked, but again, the series isn't over. Some of us haven't completely written the Cavs off, it's not impossible to win two consecutive games in Cleveland (where we haven't loss a playoff game).
Hopefully you won't be too busy with the draft to watch.

sellouts in red...
** @KilgoreTrout and @TheISHT tied, however, KilgoreTrout was the earliest entry to closely predict the score so he is the winner. PM me your email address. **

This team goes as LeBron goes, and it's clear his game has begun to decline. I'm not just speaking on tonight either.
