Lebron should have to run laps for every three he takes and misses.

Hope everyone is just "enjoying this team"

In Northeast Ohio everything is earned... as long as they have my new Big 3 waiting for me.

At least we’re losing the way you wanted. Missed free throws being a big part of it.

my mistake

by OhThatYoGurl on Feb 5, 2016 | 8:45 PM up reply
Cavs doom will be Lebron’s freethrows.

Just like I said in a previous thread.
1st Qtr: Excellent
2nd: Decent/Above Average
3rd: Abysmal
4th: Hero ball and Hero shots.

Lue: Lebron, stop with the 3’s.
Lebron: Shut up. I got you your job.

I especially liked this quote though:

So…let me get this straight:

Cavs lose against a No-Kemba Hornets.
Look like trash against the Celtics and Love goes out…against this team..AGAIN
Tomorrow they play Ryan Anderson and the Pelicans…who always destroys us.
Then Demarcus is coming to eat the Paint alive and Rondo…oh rondo.
And Kobe’s swan song?

Easy portion of the schedule, huh?

Everyone should go read some of the comments at the Cavs blog. They're twice as bad as we are over here on losses, and I think this one especially stings for them!

Love had another quiet game.  Limited to 22 minutes.  I still think there's a chance they trade him before the deadline.  It's a bad fit.

Ah I see he left with an injury.  Still.

Nah, that's just Kevin Love.

He's a loser.  He always has been a loser.  He always will be a loser. 

If he was playing a 1-on-1 pickup game against a high school kid, I'm sure he would somehow find a way to lose. 

Seems like it's just in his genes, or he did something early in his life to greatly upset every single deity in existence, leading to eternal bad luck.  One of the two.

Speaking of rumours, do you think MIL might really let Monroe go? Now, this is a player I'd love to have.

[86MaxwellSmart]

Keep Evan Turner....Keep Tyler Zeller....KEEP Playing them.

Yes, I would be ALL OVER that.

He's not as outright talented probably as Love, and definitely not as talented as Dwight...but he's young (25), efficient (50% and 76% FT), a very good rebounder, has been healthy for most of his career, and is one a well priced contract for the next three years.

He's be a good fit here IMHO - would work nicely alongside Amir (with his mobility and rim protection) or KO (with his ability to stretch the floor).

Keep Evan Turner....Keep Tyler Zeller....KEEP Playing them.

Agreed - Turner has been quietly exceptional in his bench role the during this last 10 or so game run.  He's really been carrying the bench with his energy, and has been looking like a very serious sixth man of the year candidate.   

His ability to take control of games in so many ways (scoring, rebounding, playmaking) is a very rare gift to have in a backup player, and his even his defence has been surprisingly solid this year.

My only criticism is every time he takes a three, but if he keeps playing this well I can almost forgive the occasional facepalm.

I'm actually a bit worried because the way he's played the last year or two, he might well be able to earn himself a starting role and a decent contract on some team out there.  I'm worried he might get bigger offers than we can afford to match for a bench guy - he's been really good for us. 

At next season's cap I'm worried somebody will offer him something in the $8m - $10m a year range, and would we match that?

He's proven he is a clutch guy, and I really feel that losing him could hurt us more than a lot of people probably think.   

[SHAQATTACK]

Wow

Boston

Has really wrecked the Cavs fans weekend ......LOL

Total demoralization ......across the blogs.....LOL .....too funny.

Ah I see he left with an injury.  Still.

Before he went to the Cavs, he was extremely injury prone.  One (mostly) injury-free season made people forget it, but this is just Love being Love.  You can't have a guy that likely to be injured as an itegral part of your team, he's just not durable enough

I would love to have Monroe.

Clearly, the pieces to the Bucks’ puzzle aren’t fitting. Several league officials said they would be surprised if the Bucks didn't make a major trade.

“From what I’m hearing is they (the Bucks) are willing to trade anybody not named Parker, Antetokounmpo or Middleton,’’ an NBA executive said. “I even heard they'd listen (to offers) for Parker and Middleton, but it would have to be some crazy offer.

"They want to do something; they know they have to do something. That group they have isn’t working.’’

lebron feeling some type of way in the loss. this interview on NBA TV; he looks demoralized.

[crimson_stallion]

That’s the worst loss I have ever seen. Mozgof is Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.. Get rid of him.

You’re an NBA player, you have got to get that rebound.

Mozgov got absolutely assaulted by Smart. Also, this is such a divorced-traveling-salesman-in-a-seedy-bar comment.

Some quotes from the Cavs fans - glad to see they are being nicely acquainted with Marcus Smart haha

[86MaxwellSmart]

The way Kevin Love went down and stayed down--after he bumped into Marcus Smart---I swear to god, I thought he broke his leg...dude is made of glass.
