Sorry with a capital S

[jpotter33]

Lol we suck and are not fun to watch.

First time in many years that I really am debatable about whether I really want to watch the games. Just not fun to watch this year with our lackluster effort, awful brand of basketball, no chemistry, and lack of leadership.

Love the teams meltdown!

It's the Marcus! -12

very telling about this team that even after going deep into the playoffs 3 of the last 4 years, these players have no idea how to close out a close game, particularly if they're behind.  The fact Cleveland has shown the poise to put away the C's speaks well of them and really poorly of us.

 Were awful late games...
Paper on defense and scatterbrained on offense
So panicky

[PhoSita]

It was one thing to get down big to this no defense Cavs team.

Then they got back into it and in the fourth quarter they had the game in their grasp.

But they couldn't get a stop and they kept taking hero shots instead of working the ball around to create open looks.


Its the same old story. This team hasn't learned anything about how to win close games.

Isn’t it crazy that we’re at a point where this team has to fight tooth and nail to catch up to the Cavs and then the Cavs pull away like the better team?

The CAVS

[radiohead]

The saddest part about this is that it seems the players aren’t affected by losing anymore. It’s like “let’s just get the next game”.

[slamtheking]

wow, how do they miss that blatant facial

[Ogaju]

I would say Cs need a players only meeting but who qualifies as a player on this team?

Yeah I'm losing faith. To have hope that they can go beyond what they've done before I need to see evidence that they're learning and improvement.

I'm not seeing it.

The concentration of JB to make that shot after getting hit in the face.  Impressive

[lrybrd]

Trade Brown and Smart now!!!! Tired of watching their tired acts.  JB jacking 3s, putting his head down and not getting back and giving a break away layup.  And let’s not forget about his horrific defense.  As for Smart, he’s loose with the ball, can’t play any defense and refuses to recognize that he should not be shooting in crunch time.  And shame on Stevens for allowing this garbage to continue. 

[jpotter33]

That is an absurd missed, blatant call by the refs.

[cltc5]

Great job brad get your starters killed because you want to play them back to back
