I think Kyrie comes out and has a much more efficient scoring game, something like 20-25 points on 60%+ shooting... and we win by 5-7
Great point.

Bynum playing in this game?

Well he isn't on the injury list, so that's a good start.

Also, hit me with an /ironman, but the reffing was much better in the 90s. Now you have these 70 year old refs who somehow can run down court and see fouls from a distance with their 70 year old eyes.
Good point....I can't recall much of anything from the 90's refs (must've been pretty good)....from the time Tim Duncan started bitching after every call and the coaches purposely bitch about them before a playoff series to help them during. They just control the outcome of the game all throughout the game. I think they are by far the worst of the main 3 sports.

I do blame the NBA however for not allowing a lot of the talking they used to. No way you could treat each other like Bird and Person did back in the day.

But the cavs gotta stop playing like garbage early in games. Just an awful start.

A couple laughable calls on them and the apparently the Bobcats don't miss either.

what a shitty play coming out of the timeout.

You cant beat too many teams scoring 84 points.

Clack, AV, Gee, and Waiters had absolutely 0 contribution to the game tonight.

Miles balled out, so that's a positive at the 3 I guess.....

Cavs had their chances. But stupid turnovers and not rebounding killed them. Bad loss tonight going into a likely loss tomorrow in indy

And they have got to stop fouling so early in quarters and putting teams in the bonus.

Some dude ive never heard of completely outworked andy and the bigs tonight. Dont say that too often.

Mike Brown offense is in midseason form already. Shooting tonight (through 3 games)...

Kyrie 6/17 (17/50)
Waiters 7/21 (13/38)
Earl Clark 0/4 (4/18)
Anthony Bennett 0/4 (0/12)

This team has a loooong way to go.

Shots not falling is Mike Browns fault?

I don't really blame Brown at this point. Bennett and Clark have been atrocious. Guys like Kyrie, Waiters, and AV have been very inconsistent. Last 2 games were horrible to watch. I think they start to get it going when Bynum is able to get more minutes.

Is that Mike Brown's excuse every year?

The players just aren't making the shots?

I havent watched the Cavs much (but did catch the 2nd half last night). On the surface you can always say "players cant shoot is the coaches fault???". But when you dig deeper and watch the offense and see that the players arent in a flow, arent getting good looks, arent playing in rhythm on offense....well, then you can see that YES, it is the coaches fault.

I have no clue what it has been like for the Cavs, other than halfway watching the 2nd half replay at 1am last night, but it very well could be the coaches fault. It almost always is when it happens for prolonged periods to an entire team.
