ROUND 2 GAME 3 | CAVS (1-1) @ BULLS (1-1) | MAY 8TH, 2015 | 8:00 PM ET

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Lebron needs rest period. The heat went to 4 straight finals. Mj himself took a sabbatical after his finals run and he was on the winning end of his. Some of you are massively overlooking this. Dude played the freAking Olympics also. He's burnt out...
 
LeBron James isn't as good as he used to be. Oh well. That's what happens when you play two billion minutes and get older.

He's still really good.

As for tonight, KYrie Irving was the worst player on the floor, for either team. If he's like the 7th best player we win the game.
 
I don't think they're fine either. Too many injuries.

Tonight's loss DID happen back then.

Outside of maybe Game 1 of the Orlando series I can't remember any losses from back then where we lost at the buzzer or a close game. It's hard to put into words but I just can't feel that bad about this loss when we got solid minutes out of guys like Delly and James Jones. Cavs teams back then would have been Lebron scoring a bunch and maybe some points out of one or two other guys. Blatt and the coaching staff are going to have to earn their money these next couple of games.
 
Wade's first team wasn't that good either. Probably the biggest underdog/surprise to win it all in the last 15 years. Shaq looked fat and slow, but still somewhat of a presence just from his sheer size, and the team was surrounded by once upon a time stars well past their prime.

This Cavs team right now is definitely still better than that Heat team.

I'm been looking for a little hope... I think you gave me my first dose lol

Valid point, at least to me as I try hard not to throw in the towel on a championship
 
Really, if it was his first step or whatever, it would be understandable as aging and exhaustion. Where Lebron is bad is his jumper whether early or late. It's horribly off, which allows guys to play just a tiny bit off him, which then makes the drive contested. He usually doesn't shoot this bad consistently.
 
When was the last time any Cleveland team was in the playoffs? Let's enjoy the ride!

Shit the Browns haven't made the playoffs since I was in 8th grade! I was a freshman in college when we went 10-6 and I'm 26 right now! It's hard to remember how bad we were last year and how far we've came in one season with so many roster changes and a new coaching staff.
 
Fuck it. I have to shake this one off. This one really irritated me. The weather is beautiful and I have a 7AM tee time. We're Cleveland. why does a bank shot prayer winner shock me? I should be used to this after decades of this nonsense. Still have faith, because the Bulls just aren't very good. Good night gentlemen.

You think that's bad? I am a 47 year old woman who cried when the Cavs lost their first playoff series in 1972 at the age of 5 years old and have been crying every major lost since whether it be the Cavs, Browns, or Indians. So to all you die hards out there... Cleveland Rocks!
 
Tonight was just a good lesson in "don't let luck decide it".

Are we done? No. But our margin of error was slim and it just became even thinner.

Game 4 is pretty much win or go home. People will say it isn't must win but I have a hard time envisioning a scenario where we beat Chicago 3 times in a row.

If you lose on a banked shot, there's just nothing you can do. Zero skill involved in banking a 26 foot shot from the wing. Just none.
 
The Cavs didn't make the playoffs until 1975, I believe... Miracle of Richfield year...
