Cleveland Cavalier 2017-2018 Season

 I think they should get game 6 but I wouldn't lay money on game 7 with the gang he's working with.

I'd be surprised if they won game six honestly.

LBJ is gassed. Even Lue said it after the game. I'm just hoping his mindset was "screw this, nobody else is showing up so I'll conserve my energy for game 6 & 7." Didn't have an issue with him being tired after game 7 of the Indy series but he's got at least one more game left in this series with only a day to rest.

The pathetic part about last night is that the Cavs got beat by a team that shot 36% from the field. Kind of gives you a feel for the turds he's (Lebron) playing with.

big time--he looked like a whipped puppy last night

They’ll win game 6, and then I’m taking experience and LBJ in a game 7 to get to the nba finals. 

Again, not surprised to see BR show up on this thread with his helplessness posts after a loss lol

Just stating what I see. Apparently, I'm not the only one that sees it. Call me "Negative Nancy" all you want but some of you are delusional with this belief that Lebron will be Superman forever. The past does not dictate the future, especially at his age, all the tread he has worn off the tires, and the crap he has supporting him. If the "don't bet against LBJ in a game 7" had been thrown out 2 years ago, I'd agree but he has K-Love, and that's about it, helping him. At some point, he's not going to be able to put these scrubs on his back and carry them.

They get credit when they do well and called out when they don't. Just call em' like I see em', objectively....not from a blind homer point of view.

Let's be honest, though... While I feel bad for Lebron (and Love) that they have to do all the work, GM-LBJ is sleeping in the bed that he made.  This is the team that he created.

Why didn’t you “call it like you see it” after games 3 and 4? You were nowhere to be found after two cavs blowouts. Now ONE game later after a loss, LBJ is gassed and past performance doesn’t predict future results? Lol ok.

What "blowouts?" They had a game 3 blowout. Bravo ! They were doing what they were supposed to do (hold serve) on their home court after getting embarrassed by a team (Boston) that did what they were supposed to do (hold serve) on their home court.

If you don't think he was gassed last night, your wine & gold goggles are thicker than I thought. And just because, in seasons past, Lebron came to save the day, doesn't mean it will happen this time. The group he is working with right now might be as bad as the Ira Newble/Boobie Gibson days.

The fact that he has to put up 40+ point triple doubles to get this team a win says a lot about what he's working with. At least before Kyrie could take up the slack, with Love (and sometimes JR) maybe pitching in. Now Love shows up about every third game and JR has gone awol.

To add on the Lue hate real quick, I couldn’t believe he sat Love after his second foul. Love looked incredible to start the game, which almost never happens. It finally happens where he looks like he’s got it going, and Lue sits him for the next 12 game minutes?! You get 6 fouls in the NBA, let him fucking play, Lue! I get benching him for foul problems if he’s not really doing much, but he was the only one who was playing well and he sits him because he’s 4 fouls away from fouling out. Smh

LOL...and who's being dramatic? Can't post an opinion without you getting sand in your vag.

Not at all. You just only have your “opinion” after they lose. Not even a cavs fan lol

Haha...have been a Cavs fan long before you were even a itch in your daddy's shorts. You just get butthurt when someone isn't fawning all over them and is critical, then throw your hissy.

All that means is you’re an old non-cavs fan. Congrats on being such a miserable sports fan that you can’t even call yourself a fan anymore!

Weak. I've had to suffer through more misery, than good, with this franchise so don't tell me who's a "fan" and who isn't, your blindness. Can't help it I don't slobber all over them blindly, like you.

I wouldn’t sit him if he picked up 2 in the first minute. He’s a veteran. He knows how to play in foul trouble. Which, by the way, 2 fouls is not in foul trouble. I don’t understand it. Even in college, 2 fouls and you’re coming out. Let your guys play.

I've seen absolutely no one make that prediction. 

I was just musing.

Right...makes zero sense. But Lue gonna Lue. 

They play like they are hoping to win, instead of knowing they will win.  Starts with the HC; zero fire in addition to zero acumen.  

Imagine Brad Stevens coaching LeBron. 2 titles, at least, in Cleveland this go round.
