Jazz looking good early at OKC...
Up by 10, DM 4 / 4 from the field

Make that 16-4. Lol at the Thunder.

I am rooting for the Jazz all the way.

Loved the leadership of LeBron leading his team to the locker room before the game was over.  What a class act, not!

And just like that, OKC is up. The game  48 minutes long. .

Starts walking back to the locker room with still 10 seconds left in the game.

Also maybe it's just me but it looked like Lebron just didn't look engaged out there at all. Every dive for the ball on the floor or every hustle play seemed to have an Indiana player involved, but rarely a Cavaliers player and especially not Lebron.

Anyways, I did say that the Cavaliers will miss Kyrie in the playoffs a lot more than people realize, and you can certainly say they did today. George Hill as your starting PG is a huge downgrade to Kyrie IMO, and idk if Clarkson and Hood are capable of playing like all-stars either. Love has to do way more than he usually does (usually - which is pretty dang good as is, averaging 20/10 consistently).

I do not miss Jae Crowder.

Considering how injured we are now, I think Crowder would have been great for us right now (even if off the bench).

We traded Bradley for Morris, not Crowder, so Morris would still be on the team.

........... I'm aware, but again I'll state: I do not miss Jae Crowder, his one dimensional offense and his overhyped defense.

Yeah his defense was actually exceptional two years ago, but I have no clue what happened in his final year with us. His defense just went out the window.

His attitude declined with his defense. I just think some fans couldn't separate his game from contract, especially towards the end.

I believe he lost his sideways mobility after ankle troubles...

Unpopular, but I don't miss Bradley (in addition to Crowder) either.

Cavs can not win against top teams UNlESS Bron scores 40-50 points a game .   The rest of the , sans Love .....are role players 5-15 point  guys . ..this is not enough offense  in a playoff .

Bron needs to put on the Scoring cape and go off ......and i think he gets 50+ next game .....

Bron is mostly show casing himself for the Rockets or Lakers ...showing he can still dominate  when he wants too.

He kinda let the other guys play TOO much , maybe he was seeing what they could do in a playoff , measuring them....if so Cavs are not in the running to retain him.

I don't miss Bradley and especially Crowder either. Crowder lost my respect with his twitter crap and made me despise him even more for injuring Hayward on opening night.

something was wrong ...he never looked remotely fast or nimble
