The Finals | Game 1 | Cavs @ Warriors | June 2nd, 2016 | 9:00pm EST

[flop]

We let role-players beat us? Seriously? I thought that was the one thing we WEREN'T going to let happen...

lol did you really not watch?

So, we're all pissed about about it but...I hope the people that thought the Cavs were going to roll through these guys see what the fuck we're dealing with. I've never seen a team like Golden State. Whether or not they are even beatable in a seven game series is a legitimate question.

Yet the game was dictated by a litany of Cavs mistakes. No movement on offense and complete lack of kickbacks to the guys who were open.
Cavs were too focused on forcing the inside game when the paint was packed.
Lue place more importance on his planned rotations than countering or forcing kerrs hand with circumstantial rotations.

In game adjustments are essential against a team like Golden State and the same issues that were there in the first half were still there in the 2nd.

Dude I've been here the whole time posting during Lue's tenure, including making game threads, even in these very playoffs. What are you talking about?

This has nothing to do with Blatt. Blatt is long gone and forgotten. Lue looks like a clueless rookie and is getting shit on by Kerr.
I would love him to prove me wrong.

thats the thing about some of these dudes. though they are positive, they also have their bias and will not judge certain people within the organization no matter what. because they were in full support of that person and defended that person from other posters, so if they judge the person, they feel that they are going back on their word. Lue was clearly out coached but no matter what, he will never be judge by some posters. some of us just call things out like we see it.

1. Read the title of the thread.
2. Yeah, we didn't play well.
3. Read the title of the thread again.
4. Our bench was really really poor.
5. Read the title of the thread again.
6. Ty Lue made some bad decisions.
7. Read the title of the thread again.
8. LeBron, Love and Ky were ok but could play better.
9. Read the title of the thread again.
10. We will bounce back. I still believe in this team.
11. Read the title of the thread again.

It reads GAME-1.

First off, didn't mean to include you with Ophir, was going to respond to you separately.. I'm not calling you a troll, just hit quote twice.

In that response, yes, I want to point out to you, which you may not be aware, that every post you make is about Ty Lue being clueless..

We get it.

Lue was horrible tonight, in his defense.

But I think Lue is smart and will be much better next game. I like our chances.

In that response, yeah, I want to point out to you, which you may not be aware, that every post you make is about Ty Lue being clueless.. It's tired. You know exactly what I'm talking about.

We get it.

Really? Every post I make?
Go back and read my posts.

This game Lue shit the bed, so I'm commenting on that. Go back to read every post I made and see that what you said is an absolute lie.

If you don't like my posts, you can just skip them. I'm not breaking any forum rules and am just expressing my honest opinion. Sometimes it's positive, sometimes it's negative.

Grow up, dude. Some people will have a different opinion. If you don't like it, don't read it. Or read and get tired. Couldn't give two shits tbh.

 

[gourimoko]

If you weren't so ignorant to world basketball you would have known that some of the european coaches are at NBA elite level...
comparing Blatt to Lue is like comparing a Ferrari to a Prius...
I guess your nickname here will be true for a long long time, because GSW don't seem to let go of that title any time soon...

@tocov ... this is what I'm talking about.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

lol did you really not watch?

Do you not know me by not? It's not an act. I can't stomach it.

Nah. It was clear that Lue's plan was to dare anyone else but Curry and Thompson to beat us.

 

[nikolajz1]

I wish Kyrie took a page from Curry's book when he's not playing well. Pass it around a ton and keep your defender close to you to space for other guys. Kyrie just can't jack up contested shots all the time. Still dont get how no one has coached him that a 17 footer with 12seconds on the shot clock and tight defense = DONT SHOOT

 

[wuck]

Put annoying posters on Ignore or report them. We'll handle it. It's clear Ophir has an agenda, but a lot of other folks are just mad as hell, which is what happens in all game threads where the Cavs underperform. Plenty of folks who bashed everything about the Cavs as well as those who have given up and won't be back until next year....will be back in Game 2.

It doesn't have to get personal. And tonight's problems were more vivid on the court, unfortunately, after they took the lead in the 3rd quarter and couldn't sustain the effort.

 

[I'mWithDan]

explain how this game was suppose to be a steal? dont get it.

Go replay the sequence of possessions in the 3rd.

The Cavs finally made a run and went 4 or 5 possessions with a chance to push it to a 3 or 4 point lead and took horrendous shots or made awful decisions.

They had a chance to break the game open there, really put some pressure on Golden State and then they folded to end the quarter.

Golden State's stars had the worst game of the entire season. That is the definition of a steal game.

Our stars (LeBron and Kyrie) decided to out suck them when it really mattered.

Hoo-boy. This is EXACTLY what I was afraid of - Lue being out of his depth.

If ppl can't understand the negativity and defeatist attitude then I'm sorry but you are oblivious to 60 years of sports history


I'm over my knee jerk reactions so do I think we can win the next 2? Obviously yes. But am I gonna utterly shit on ppl who think it's over? Fucking no because they are basing their emotions off 60 years of Ohio sports.

How can anyone disrespect that crowd after all that's happened to Ohio Sports over the years?

Cause if they actually feel that way, they've given up. If you've given up, you're not on a forum for people who haven't given up. Unless of course you're an asshole troll who hasn't given up, nor bought in, they're just there to kick when folks are down and feed on the misery their woe is me BS helps foster. Parasites. Bottom Feeders.

Totally understand expecting the worst but continuously posting it or saying it in an area where people are trying to be positive is being a douche. Just like Quaid in Major League series. "We'll blow it in the playoffs!" They just need to STFU.
