Cavs Lose Again-LA loses again,Philly just loses

[rollie mass]

Ball shoots abysmally and Simmons doesn't shoot another three pointer but goes 6-8 from foul line and again has 5 fouls himself
-Wizard fans even more vocal than ours and lonzo shoots 25% from field , 1-7 from three 14.3% and 3-7 or 42% from foul line
He can certainly push pace and make some passes but also had 4 turnovers-
LA LA Land and talk shows smell blood
Both Fultz and Ball not living up to their draft position-give me a player like Tatum that can bury threes, create iso and plays defense ANY DAY.
The CAV's  are playing like tankers -it must be a Lebron nightmare
Making Kyries decision even with injuries the CELTIC's have to look like basketball heaven-
Has someone Space Jammed Cleveland
And all is right in the Basketball world.

Am I the only one who thinks he deserves that?

A so called legend who finds/needs the best team to win having trouble winning? Yes, I think all but Bronsexuals are amused. Between going to Miami then leaving Miami, and his role in the race baiting BLM movement, I knew that he was a man of very little integrity. I have never purchased a shoe, a blaze pizza, a Kia, a Sprite, or anything associated with him other than of course watching games and giving the NBA revenue.

I won't lie it's nice to see the King struggle BUT it's November so I know my joy is probably only temporary. Now if this continues past the trade deadline I'll happily put on my party pants!

Maybe it's a good thing for us that he has to play so heavily early in the season. Although I won't be surprised if Bron gets the Land on a streak and scaring us all again.

Chilly are you enjoying this or not you keep contradicting yourself!!!...I want to Willy but it's Lebron so let me be a contradicting fool!!!

Yup.  If there is a "chink" in the LeBron armor, it's that he has played A LOT of games over his career (90-100 per season with playoffs) and has started taking it easy during the regular season to preserve himself for the playoffs.  He may not have that luxury this season.  His Finals streak of 7 in a row ends this time around.

I watched the beginning of the Houston-Cavs game last night. Lebron had two dunks early in that game, an alley-oop two-foot-two-hander and a one-foot-one-hander. This was before he rolled his ankle.

I thought both times, "Man, Lebron has lost some explosiveness."

I mean, he's still a beast. But players often lose their two-foot jumping explosiveness first. The first dunk had Lebron loading up to explode to the rim without getting much higher. The second dunk had him beat his man and explode off of one foot for his patented tomahawk slam. He had space, but even that one did not look like vintage Lebron.

Lebron looks human to me. His other-worldly explosiveness is waning. He is still one of the strongest guys in the league, but his quickness and explosiveness on the finish is lacking. That's why he has consistently relied on muscle "slow-drives." They have worked for his shooting percentage, but they haven't worked for the cavs winning percentage.

Am I the only one who sees LeBron's movements as clumsy and ugly. He's dominant, no discoussion, but lack of elegance in his play is just so obvious.  Just watch the slowmotion:

For all of Lebron's amazing talents, he's a big part of what's going wrong there. And I'm not just talking about his bad personnel and coaching decisions......

Watch him on D. He isn't even trying most of the time. He's playing most of the time like he doesn't care.

Of course, he's LBJ, and I've no doubt come playoff time, he'll flip the switch. But with most of that team, there's no switch to flip. The only chance they've got is if IT comes back and can play at a level comparable to last year, and even then, can he integrate into that mishmash of a roster. All things considered, talent, age, salaries, there's not much scary in Cleveland. But they do have Lebron, and he could beat us all by himself come playoff time.

I dunno. That dunk of his in traffic in the 2nd quarter--who else can do that? Maybe GA.

Houston is a very good team, better than I thought pre-season, especially considering the loss of CP.  Cavs played them very closely.  Them losing to Houston last night did not signify another example of their decline.

My worst nightmare would be Cavs coasting this season, IT returning late in season, and us having to play them in the first round with them in the 8th seed(haha..I know they will be top few seeds I would imagine but if Lebron went down for any stretch of time, maybe not- can Love carry them?)! LOL...we could win that but I dont want to see them until conference finals.

[GreenShooter]

Another added bonus was that Sacramento won, though I just don't see them having a better record than the LAL, even though they have a few vets on the team.

[celticsclay]

I am not really getting the "Philly lose again" part. They are actually playing really well and exceeding expectations.

If LBJ goes down that team is in the lottery.
