That ass lineup coming out to start the 4th did us in, as did not playing Mo/JJ in the 2nd half.

PND is signed to Drake's label and it seems like Drake is trying really hard to get the Raptors to the Finals by bringing (more) distractions to the Cavs.wildcats20;1789344 wrote:Singer dated rapper.

Lue isn't the right man for this job. The lineups he sends it there at times are idiotic. Kills flow and offense constantlyHighRoller74;1789494 wrote:That ass lineup coming out to start the 4th did us in, as did not playing Mo/JJ in the 2nd half.

Bingo. Remember though, Lue is backed by GM Lebron. I doubt GM Lebron is going to send Lue packing in the off season if they don't win it all.Benny The Jet;1789500 wrote:Lue isn't the right man for this job. The lineups he sends it there at times are idiotic. Kills flow and offense constantly
I think Blatt was fine. Lue is a poor choice.

Lol, this blurb reminded me of the high point of one of the times I switched to this game. When there was a stoppage of play and Lue was doing some coaching from the sidelines and James was right behind him, almost at the scorers table, also coaching. Then Jason Terry walked over and said something to Lebron, who laughed and went back to the bench.
You could just imagine Terry saying something along the lines of "Wait, which one of you really is the coach, cuz only one of you should be standing there?"

I'm just ready for the playoffs to start. All this shit in the regular season is getting old. Cavs are the best team in the east, but you would think this entire year they were crumbling. The media apparently has nothing to talk about. Same shit happened last year (and previous years when Lebron was in Miami) and the Miami stfu'd once his teams went on a run.
Edit: Cavs are top in the east, 3rd best defense in the league, and top 10 offense in the league but apparently the entire team has been falling apart since December.

All true. Reality is, the Cavs either win the title or the season is a colossal failure. The Warriors (and Spurs, to an extent) are having historically great seasons and those are the teams the Cavs will have to beat to win it. So, it's fair to be shown in a disappointing light all year when compared to those teams, even though the Cavs nearly win 60 games themselves. Good news is, they play the games on the court and not in the newspapers.like_that;1789534 wrote:I'm just ready for the playoffs to start. All this shit in the regular season is getting old.

Colossal is just a dramatic buzz word that the media loves to play up to. Yes, their season is championship or bust, but it wouldn't be a colossal failure if they lost to the Spurs of warriors. It would be a failure. A colossal failure would be not making it they the East.Azubuike24;1789547 wrote:All true. Reality is, the Cavs either win the title or the season is a colossal failure.

Colossal failure or failure, does it matter how the media portrays it?
Deep down, dead honest, the Cavs are in it to win the title. No matter who the competition is. They have every right to expect that too, they are the most-talented team in the NBA.

Yup if the Cavs don't win it all after the money they've spent on the talent they have, it's a failure.Azubuike24;1789551 wrote:Colossal failure or failure, does it matter how the media portrays it?

The reason they've got hit so hard is because they have the pressure on them to perform and they haven't relative to other teams in the league. They aren't even a lock to be the best team in the East.

No Kyrie tonight.
Worked last time so.....a near triple double for LBJ, double digit win, and a min. 20-12 for Love.

LBJ also will pass Dominique Wilkins(12th all time) with 4 points, and potentially could pass Oscar Robertson(11th all time) with 46 points.HighRoller74;1789785 wrote:No Kyrie tonight.

I wish I could get a clip of the full answer once he finally answered her question. But it definitely seems like he fell asleep. Took him about 7 seconds to say anything once she finished talking and then based on all the clips I've seen he doesn't say anything having to do with anything she asked about.wildcats20;1789788 wrote:Not saying it didn't happen, but he also came out later and said he was looking at his phone.

Guess Kyrie decided to play tonight. I just assumed with being questionable they'd leave him out.

Of course he'd deny it. Who knows. From what I saw he was sitting straight up but staring down at his crotch and his eyes looked closed.wildcats20;1789788 wrote:Not saying it didn't happen, but he also came out later and said he was looking at his phone.

I was thinking of more ways to beat GS and I thought of instead of trying to match up small ball vs. small ball, why not just go big? Run Love, TT, Frye, Lebron and Delly/Irving. Can TT not guard Draymond? Lebron on Klay, Irving/Delly on Curry.
Defensively it might be a little weak but offensively I don't see their lineup matching up well against the Cavs inside. GS has pretty low talent in the front court, Ezeli? Varejao? Bogut? Speights? Garbage players.

The Cavs went big last year until GSW caught on. I do like the idea of Lebron at the 4 though.sleeper;1789848 wrote:I was thinking of more ways to beat GS and I thought of instead of trying to match up small ball vs. small ball, why not just go big?

yeah, but iggy could cover frye really well. they'll Lebron would overpower whoever guards him (except draymond/Bogut) pretty severely though. Not a bad approach, but with Lue, i don't think a logical lineup is likely. It's more likely that we see a lineup of Delly/KI, Shumpert, JR, James, James Jones. I really don't get the lineups this guy is rolling out.
