That's SO delusional. 

That's DG's ego. This is the same guy who penned a letter thinking the Cavs had a legit shot to win a ring before LBJ, when he split for Miami. How they thought a bunch of (supposed) complimentary role players plus a rookie draft pick were going to be a playoff team was asinine. Team couldn't even win a game on the nights they gave Lebron off.

They couldn't prevent a team from going on a 12-0 run if Lebron sat for 60 seconds.

Again, this goes back to our FO. They're fucking idiots and have proven it time and time again.

They lead Orlando by nine going to the 4th Quarter and played very good defense in the 3rd.

Lost in the 4th on a buzzer beater, brutal. But that is the way it goes sometimes. I'm actually encouraged that they fought back from their halftime defecit, they usually suck ass in the 3rd.

Yeah they outscored Orlando by 20 in the 3rd quarter. Two very questionable calls at the end of the game.

Brutal loss. Down 11 at half, up 9 at the end of 3, then lose. 

Osman was terrible tonight. And Sexton non existent.

Yeah, they got boned by officials. Korver was fouled like 3 or 4 times and didn't get the call. Tough loss.

Are ticket prices similar to last year?

Wouldn't be opposed to them sending Sexton to the developmental league.

What?

No lol he's fine. He's had two bad games in a row. Prior to that he was fine. 

You guys are overreacting x1000 to a 19 year old rookie in his first 15 games in the NBA on a complete shitshow of a team.

Sexton better get an attitude adjustment or he isn’t long for this team though. When veterans are calling you out saying you don’t know how to play, it’s not good.

The disconnect from the vets and the young guys in this squad isn’t good at all, but Sexton seems to bear the brunt of what’s wrong on the young player side.

Fuck the veterans lol ship them off for a bag of peanuts. That's waht they're worth to this franchise right now. 

Let the young guys develop without having to hear it from the has-beens who were only brought on to be the 8th man for LBJ.

He's already developing bad habits that could stick, long term. And Larry Drew isn't exactly a developmental type of coach. He was brought in as a supplement to Ty Lue for a veteran laden championship contender type team.  That's why I suggested sending him down to the developmental league to iron some things out....not because I think he sucks and is unfixable (which you didn't imply).

Lol I agree. But some of the stuff they are saying need to be corrected and not ignored by a rookie. IE: learning to defend a pick and roll; what is a good and bad shot coming down the stretch in a close game; caring about losses (I don’t care much about this one, personally).

They have the wrong set of vets if they are concerned about him caring about losses.  These vets went thru the motions every regular season with Lebron.

If they cared about losses, 'Wrong Way JR" might have an inkling about where he's at on the court during a NBA Finals game.
