Just ridiculous for us to leave our small lineup on the court the entire second half while Lopez owned at both ends of the floor.
I didn't see, but heard Mozgov had a pretty bad game. Maybe that explains the lack of playing time?

I don't know how anyone could judge his game, he was barely in. Pretty much started both halves, played 8 min, and never went back in.

That was pretty atrocious. LBJ just didn't have it.

Cavs playing the surprising sixers today.

What's not surprising is the Cavs playing uninspired. They're in boring mode till the playoffs.

Cavs have looked like shit after that Memphis game. This will be another loss because they had their heads up their ass and let a shitty team stay in the game the whole time.

Cavs have begged the sixers to win this game, but so far they haven't taken it. Have this possession to finally take the lead.

If that is actually what they are doing, then it is pathetic. Lock up the 2 seed against shitty teams (i.e. on of the worst fucking teams in the league) and then rest your guys before the playoffs.

Blatt didn't seem to concerned about how serious they were.

Windhorst (TIFWIW) is reporting that Blatt is just yelling out plays that LeBron calls, supposedly acting like he called it. Which leads me to this, save money on a coach and let LeBron be player/coach.
As far as the whole thing about him calling or the plays, doesn't bother me, just win.

The divisive stories that get written about the Cavs are just laughable at this point. You would think with as much supposed dysfunction there is reportedly going on with the Cavaliers they are in last place.

True or not, Windy is a joke.

It's fucking absurd. Give the cavs more than one day of rest and the media runs amok with a pile of shit.

Winning solves everything, except when you are in Cleveland. /media

Are they really that bored with the NBA story lines this year?

Simmons believes Kevin Love might pull a Revis (win a championship, then bolt). Of course he listed Boston/NYK/LAL as destination.

Having listened to the podcast, that's not what was REALLY said, just a juicy dumb tidbit taken out of context. Fuck BSPN or I'd say give it a listen.

What he was talking about was that they threw the princeton offense out the window bc it wasn't fucking working. LBJ took over PG duties bc KI and Waiters were ball hogs. They simplified the offense and Blatt/LBJ/Lue would call plays. Blatt would call the fucking play, and LBJ would relay the message to the players. Man smh fuck BSPN/media for taking this shit out of context.

Revis bolted and got max money he wouldn't have gotten from NE. Love gets more money by opting in than opting out. Summer of 2016 is much more lucrative than summer of 2015.

Not surprised that went over Simmons' head though.

He will re-sign, this has just been media trying to stir up shit all year based on nothing.

ZERO percent chance Love leaves regardless of what happens this year. Zero.

Do you mean re-sign or opt-in?

He's definitely opting in, but we don't know if he'll resign in 2016.

First thing I hear on the radio this morning is how blatt will be fired for calipari if the cavs don't win a title. LOL, you can't make this stuff up at this point.

Bulls lose a tough one tonight and the Cavs now up 3 full games on the Bulls and the Raptors. Cavs also own the tie breaker over the Raptors and would wrap up the tie breaker against the Bulls with a win Sunday. If they lose to the Bulls, Cavs would have a 1/2 game lead on Chicago on division games which is the next tie breaking procedure.

Still hoping the Cavs leap frog a bunch of Western Conference teams that are running neck and neck. Anybody out there could end up as the Western Conference champs.

Heading up to the game tonight to watch the Cavs play Miami in a must-win game for the Heat. They're currently tied for the 7/8 spot with Boston a half game back. Brooklyn and Boston are both off tonight, so a loss could drop them to the 8th spot with a slight edge over Boston due to the tie breaker. Hope the Cavs can take them down in easy fashion tonight!
