LEBRON WILL NOT MISS AT RIM PEOPLE!!!!!!!

MAKE HIM SHOOT JAYS OR TAKE A CHARGE OR GET A STEAL

or hack a lebron

true because he misses FT's

LeBron is tired ..run run run

I didn't like the run in the middle of the second quarter but we're otherwise playing well for the most part.  Still missing too many shots around the rim. 

Smart is giving us a lift with his defense.

Tatum is taking the challenge on offense, though he's not shooting all that well.  He's missed several shots at the rim.  We need those. 

Need more out of Rozier.  1-7 just isn't going to cut it for a guy who is the most exploitable part of our defense - not that he's a bad defender exactly, but the Cavs play big and Rozier doesn't have Smart's ability to hold his ground against bigger players on a switch.  If he stays cold, I'd be inclined to ride Smart for the rest of the game.

Leaving the door open for Cavs to get it close in the end.  Scary night.

Drive and kick is the name of the game. Every time we drove hard, we got buckets and on the possessions drawn to open someone up, we just look stagnant and cavs cover us. Drive the ball or post up.
Great D so far

If we lose this game, it's on Morris for being a Bonehead....Completely gave the Cavs energy.

This is a ridiculous take. Did I miss something, or did Morris push Morris and make Rozier push Nance?? Is that what happened?

Morris isn't to blame. That's just incredibly wrong

Crappy game by Rozzier

it'd be pretty nice to have kyrie right about now

yeah or hayward or theis

[SCeltic34]

We've missed so many layups and wide open 3's.  We're getting what we want but shooting just 38%.  If we lose we only have ourselves to blame.

GET IT TO 17 at half

after half we push it to 25 and finish them

WEAR LEBRON DOWN

We were in a good position to bury them but that 5min delay killed our momentum and gave LeBum a rest

CAPS up 3-0!!!!!

WHO CARES?

Hope you're right, but I don't see what you see.

[apc]

Should be up by 20. Instead I got to be stressed for 24 more minutes

We're hitting 40% on threes.  I'm not mad about that part of our game. 

Totally agree with you on the layups though.  We should make most of those and we aren't.  This game would be a blowout if we could just hit bunnies.

[Beat LA]

I expect Lebron to come out like gang busters in the third. Hopefully, Stevens will call a timeout before the lead gets down to three. What bothers me, however, is that they're still not attacking James, like at all. He could have expended at least a nice amount of energy in that first half, but noooooooo .

CAPS up 3-0!!!!!

WHO CARES?

I do!
