I think it's simply games played. Golden State is the same way, 3 years of playing 100+ games probably has these guys a tad worn out. They'll get their legs eventually

This isn't February and they're in first and can lose a bunch of games and not drop out of the top of the standings. They keep dropping games like this and they're going to lose the luxury of coasting through the middle of the season.
Agreed. This was supposed to be the easy part of the season. The "they won't need preseason with the way their early schedule plays out."

I’m not in panic mode, as I think it’s early and we’ll be 15 games over .500 in 2 months and laugh at the overreactions of this awful start.

That being said, I’ve had about enough with ty lue. I really don’t see what he brings to this team. I’d fucking kill to have a brad Stevens coaching. Someone who actually knows how Xs and Os.

Edit: just to clarify, I’m not suggesting Stevens is an option. Just that I wish there was a coach out there like him that we could go grab.

I'm there with you, LBJ relishes in the turmoil. Not excusing that we played like fucking dogshit in the 2nd half last night, that's inexcusable.

I got to watch that game last night...LeBron was as good offensively as I’ve ever seen him. That fade away was difficult but automatic and his free throws look perfect like never before.

Can’t imagine how mad they would be without him

Well, I'm sure he'll be hearing it again after dropping one to the one win Hawks.

Cavs finally off to a decent 1Q start, can't wait for 3rd Q collapse.

Be nice to hold a team under 55% FG

Watching on NBA TV..Greek Freak is a monster

Anyone read that ESPN article on him today? I only saw a few bullet points about it, but he said that Lebron asked him to workout with him in the offseason and Giannis basically told him to fuck off because he didn't want Lebron to get comfortable with him.

Can we give Sashi to Milwaukee so they’ll trade us Giannis for the Brooklyn pick.

Cavs are 4-0 against the “good” teams so far this season. Seems to be a common theme with Lebron led teams. What’s not common is the atrocious defense. Fuck.

What a fucking lucky disgusting garbage win by Rockets. Mr Everything missed every damn shot and air balls one right to a guy to seal it.

7 offensive rebounds in final 5 minutes smh
