Everything going the Cavs way. Just not our night. Lebron's defense really impresses me this season. He's improved his game a lot.

I haven't read anything posted up until this point, so I might be repeating some stuff.  That said...

C's played atrocious defense the first quarter... but at least they've recovered since then. At this point, I can't really complain about the defense since they've picked it up.

ON THE OTHER HAND. If they lose tonight, it'll be because of offense. Missed layups, stupid turnovers, blown fast breaks, can't buy a 3 point shot... YIKES

The C's are losing because of their offense, and that's been the story for most games during this losing streak. The big questions is: what's wrong with their offense?

1. It's blowout time
2. You guys can complain all you want about James and preferential treatment, but tonight he is totally owning and abusing Pierce (who I love)
3. I love seeing Doc sitting on the bench looking like he is in a catatonic state.
4. Why can't we get guys like Delonte West
5. I'm thinking after Sunday we will be in a 5-game losing funk.

I said it earlier and I'll say it again...

3 point shot...can't hit it, can't defend it.

Impressive response from the Cavs after a good start to the third from the C's.

Cleveland went on a 20-11 run to end the third quarter after Boston got it within three points.

We're playing poorly, especially on offense but LeBron gets away with so much it makes me not want to watch. Extra steps, push offs, shuffling his feet, carrying the ball, clutching, fouling.

Also, is anyone else getting sick of Doc being upbeat during this crap stretch that we're playing?

For example, after we lose tonights game, I would LOVE to hear him be completely honest and sound mad..."we played like crap, too many turnovers, Rondo is sucking right now, and we can't buy a 3 point basket"

If Baby would get the same treatment from the refs as LeBron James, he would be great...
In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.

Right now I'd trade Rondo straight up for Delonte. Seriously! At least DW can shoot & hit his throws.  >:(

They will not be lower than a three, which they get for winning the atlantic. Although with the way they are playing now, who knows if NJ won't move ahead by the end of the year.
