Blowing a 17 point lead seriously this squad is awful and that god damn coach.. Can’t wait till Lebron leaves this shitty organization. For some reason Lebron was passive again tonight, I dont think he gets that he’ll have to repeat his game 2 performance to have a shot at winning this series because his teammates are useless.

 Go back to the threads at the time of the trade and tell everyone that supported the moves to go and give themselves an uppercut. They need that Brooklyn pick to be top 3 or you can write them off next year too, even if LeBron stays. LeBron has had an incredible year – almost his best – and they are looking at a 1st round exit. Its all downhill from here Cavs fans.

You can’t know that they’d be doing better if they haven’t made that trade. There’s a reason they made that trade (they weren’t playing good). And now when/if Lebron leaves they are left with some young/decent players rather than corpses.

It’s unfortunate Hill couldn’t return due to injury because he played well in the first half. Hopefully, he’s good to go for game 4. Love played well, but you could just tell the dude couldn’t hold onto the ball with his thumb injury. 

I think the Cavs also executed well defensively, but credit McMillian for making the adjustments he made the second half. 

LeBron made a few threes in the clutch, but I feel like there were several possessions where he was just settling. Mainly in the 3rd. But credit the Pacers. I thought Bogdanovic competed hard & they did well fighting over ball screens/switching.

 Lebron is as good as gone. 

[Miko4rm206Participant]

I wonder if it ever occurred to Ty Lue to just have LeBron run starting PG. I’m sure LeBron wouldn’t want to be chasing around the other teams PG all game but offensively that would be a huge mis-match.

LeBron, JR, Hood, Love, Nance or TT as a starting 5. Something has to change I just can’t picture LeBron loosing in the 1st Round.

 You know it’s bad when the NBA blatantly wants you to win and you still crumble.

 Very well coached – the Pacers play Excellent Defense – they have Turner in the Middle a high level Rim protector & Turner’s presence allows Bogdonovich & others Pacers’ perimeter to players to Press OUT & put Extreme Ball pressure on LeBron & the Cavs 3pt scorers

So Lebron has to work So hard for everything he gets 

Conversely on Offense the Pacers have a a scoring PG in Dipo who can put extrme pressure on the Defense w/ his penetration & then kick out to wide open 3 pt shooters b/c Cleveland is just Not a good Defensive team right now

The Reg season & the Playoffs are Completely Diff animals b/c in the Playoffs ANY weakness a team has is Ruthlessly exposed & right now the Pacers look like the stronger team –

 If Lebron does stay somehow my guess is he is gone and he knows it…Or it could just be father time finally catching him a little -that is a wild card though meaning a slight chance of him staying…

They need to fire lue and get a better coach that hold Lebron accountable and is actually capable of make changes to rotations if they aren’t working. Get a guy Lebron will listen to/Respect due to having a high B-ball I.Q.. 

and

Upgrade that roster somehow maybe see if somebody will give them something reasonable for their nets pick and maybe one other piece I would try keep Lebron,Hood or K-love out of talks but I could see something crazy like K-love,Hood and the Nets pick for P.G+Something else(except Adams;Westbrook and maybe grant/Melo) if he has said he wants out of OKC..Or Kawhi for K-love + hood and nets pick happening at draft day..

But either way at least the Cavs have a young enough roster to have semi quick rebuild or be bad enough for a couple of high picks.

the Cavs are trash and what is worst, their staff is horrible and seem unable to understand how today’s NBA work and what it takes to make a team a contender for the title.

they think that just by adding a bunch of shooters is enough to compete, and even though that is important or even crucial in order to space floor and to keep the scoring pace, it’s not the most important thing to adress.

the most important thing in order to compete for the title is defense, and you can accomplish this in 2 ways, either as a collective effort ala Spurs, Raptors or Celtics or having a rim protector like Utah, Houston, Sixers or NO; well or both of them like GSW (yes Durant is one of the best rim protectors in the league and actually ranks 3rd in Bl/g).

Cavs defense is absolute trash (and Lebron is big part of that) and to get things even worst, they have Kevin Love as their center…and the result of this nonsense is the disaster that everyone is watching this series against Indiana, a team that has good defenders and one of the best rim protectors in the league.

the Cavs could have solved all their problems if they had just added a rim protector instead of all those shooter/scorers which are fine, but do not adress their biggest need, specially considering that they were already one of the best offensive teams in the league.

seriously i can’t understand how GM’s in the league earn such money, when they don’t even understand how things work and what needs to be done to win…

 Lance’s eye totally lit up when he saw they had Korver guarding him. He continued to drive the lane on poor KK. I asked my friends who were hyped when they made the trade. Why y’all so excited about the Cavs getting a bunch of inconsistent players? To add with the inconsistent players they already have in Smith, Green &Thompson. 

[TRC1991Participant]

JR Smith has to be the longest tenured crappy player still starting, having replaced former holders Thabo Sefolosha and Andris Biedrins

[RUDEBOY-Participant]

 Hey Taylor U 4Got about Andre Roberson in OKC. The guy I think currently holds the title as the Crappiest Starter in the league.

[halfdecayedParticipant]

I thought they did well at the deadline with the exceptionof trading Wade who actually played well defensively and has been great for the heat in the playoffs.. They could have used him for sure another failure for cleveland..

[mowestenParticipant]

LeBron is the NBAs best player and the NBAs worst GM.

 

[OhCanada-Participant]

 Dont count out the Cavs yet. Treat these guys like the bad guy in a horror movie you gotta make sure they are dead! Shoot em in the head when they are down or they will come back and get you! As a Raptors fan I really hope Indiana can pull this off.

[whiteflashParticipant]

 They can, but not sure the NBA will allow it. They’ve tried stopping it two games in a row now, just wasn’t enough in one of ’em. Expect even more calls going the Cavs way tonight.
