He didn’t start it. Lebron did by making the comment about Smith Jr.

Right. But like I said that would have died without much ado. He forced the issue when he got in lebrons face when he wasn’t even involved, or anywhere near the play for that matter. He went out of his way to force the issue. Otherwise we aren’t talking about this right now. No one gaf about what he said on twitter.

Again LeBron didn’t have to get in the way when player was going to get ball

So many levels of blame. Just blame media and sports talk for choosing dumb crap to talk about

Excited I get to see the Cavs tonight in person as they will be playing in Charlotte.

Not sure what to expect. Batum is back for Charlotte. Howard has actually played well so far and Kemba is killing it.

Waiting for the Cavs to but together a full game effort, play some D and actually rebound. Is tonight finally the night???

I agree, but I actually thought he played well in the 4th for whatever that is worth.

Rivers isn’t starter material for any good team and daddy being coach plays a nice role. He’s shot the 3 very well this year but takes too many tough 2 point shots and his 2 point FG% is awful and making his overall FG% bad. Shoots ft poorly (which I️ can’t fathom for a guard)...defense isn’t good but has a nice amount of steals.

He’s in year 6 of the league....most thought he wouldn’t last 4. With Redick and Crawford gone he gets too many shots and takes way to many

Have Cavs lost a game yet where they cared? I.E., any game vs a perceived EC "contender"

Not EC, but they lost to Houston.

Agreed. I kind of shook my head when I saw that quote. He will be a decent #2 scoring option but I seriously doubt he'll be anywhere near as clutch as KI.

Kyrie having ice in his veins was my favorite thing about him. It would be nice to see what the cavs look like when they are at full strength though. Rose shouldn't be getting full minutes, he can't handle it anymore. We also need TT back.

If they have IT come off the bench (I think they should), this Cavs team becomes loads better. Wade, Green and IT in the 2nd unit provides a scoring punch LeBron has NEVER had. And LeBron has NEVER had a problem keeping the games close by himself with the 1st team.
