Brace yourselves for the overreaction hot takes tomorrow.

Didn't they lose opening night last year?

To the Bulls in OT, I think.

I hate the damn Bulls. Nothing really to do with this loss, I've just always hated their players. And I hate how their fans are so obsessed with D Rose. I've already seen about 10 "If rose is healthy they are the best team in the east" posts. Fucking annoying because he's not that good.

Really the only positive thing to take from tonight is how well he played. He has gas left in the tank and is a solid veteran.

TT showcasing that he is overpaid. He is a good defensive player but not worth what we are paying him.

Overally, the Cavs are fine. If KI was playing we would have won by 20.

Reminds me of Footwedge and Manziel. Except that Rose was/is actually good and Manziel probably isn't.

Speaking of FW, TT played 25 minutes tonight....compared to 21 from Moz, and 12 for Varejao.

TT also missed all of TC. He'll/we'll be fine. Bulls couldn't miss, Refs were fucking us every chance they got, LBJ was rusty, no KI and still almost won. If that game were at home with a healthy KI we win by 50.

To the Knicks. They beat the Bulls in OT the following night.

Yeah, TT looks like a baby fat, out of shape player. He'll be fine. Just needs to play his way back into shape. Will take some time.

Overall, not disappointed. Kind of expected a loss but good to see K-Love out there and it looks like Mo is going to give them something.

Really, nothing to see here. First game in a long season. Actually, pretty pleased with them except for the "L."

What this game told me is the cavs are gonna be fucking dangerous when everyone (hopefully) is back healthy. Think about the bench when everyone is healthy. You have guys like Mo coming into the game.

Could not agree more. This is the year if there ever was one.

Not just healthy, but "in sync"

According to his math skills, he was correct going off those totals because anyone can make any number mean anything if they try.

TT playing 25 minutes is a joke. Andy is a better player in all aspects of the game. Blatt now feels an obligation to placate Gilbert and ultimately it will cost the team wins this year and probably cost them the game last night, don't care how many boards he had.

Andy had the highest +/- on the team last night at +9. Even LeBron was only +1. How can Blatt not see that Andy played 9 times as well as LeBron last night? :)

The only way I will admit TT is worth anywhere near the money he's getting paid is if the Cavs win it all. Anything short of that, he's not worth it.

Why are Lebron and Love playing in this 4th quarter? Also, Lebron's foul shooting has gotten worse

Accidently watched about 10 minutes of LeBatard today. He was talking about LeBron looking old. He's apparently still a little salty about LeBron coming home. At least he stopped whining about OSU beating the U.

Lebalard is a fucking moron. He mocks people for their hot takes, yet he provides his hot take after 1 game of the season. Not sure how Lebron looked old last night.

Can't stand that loser lebretard.

His show with his illiterate father is the worst show that's ever been on tv ever.
