Ecf looks like a dream now

Perhaps this is prisoner of the moment type stuff, but I just don't know how the Cavs just flip a switch on what we are seeing.

This is starting to turn into legacy type stuff for LeBron too. If they fail to make the Finals with the best talent he's ever been surrounded with, that's going to impact his legacy. After last year, he's knocking on MJs door, but in sports things are quickly forgotten.

Probably the biggest disappointment of all is Lue. What has he really done this hear other than sit on a high chair on the sidelines.

Lebron still playing in a blowout loss, fire Lue already . Seriously dude sucks

Kinda late in the year to do that, also no way they come back without him.

they aren't coming back, never were

Why are you glad?

Apparently we'd be better if we didn't have guys like LeBron, Kyrie, and Love...

He's using sarcasm, Ted. It's in response to guys like lead acting like the Cavs suck in every way imaginable.

Well, say what you want guys, but looking this bad with only 9 or so games to go before the playoffs isn't good.

Due to injuries, we once again look like a team trying to learn how to play together. Kyrie is looking like pre-lebron mode, circus shots and refusal to pass the rock.

JR and Love look like they still need a lot of time to get their shots back.

And TT, more than anybody, just looks flat our tired.

Legit east teams like the Wizards and Celtics are smelling blood.

So if we're a lower seed how does that affect us? Does that mean we have to play tougher teams to advance?

down by 24 at halftime.

yep, time to go do something else.

if anyone isn't worried after watching the cavs this year then they don't have a clue...we give up almost 110 points a game, rank damn near deadlast in defensive efficiency, get zero production from key players, blew the 1st seed and actually might end up 3/4 seed, Still can't figure out how to get rotations down, lack of effort...I think Lebron needs to call the team out again, particularly Kyrie, he is unacceptable..dwill has his issues but when hes on the floor at least the ball moves...when kyrie has it, everyone is just standing around because they know the ball aint coming. If Sanders isn't ready, why not bring moreland up this last couple weeks? TT is a meh player most of the time, he gets destroyed by true bigs, but he usually is one that will hustle 100% of the time and that usually is infectious, but the last couple months he's been bad, just worn out..like everyone.. That's the biggest thing i see with this team, Lue ran them into the dirt trying to keep that one seed. I'm just afraid it might be too late now

I think it comes down to one thing. Will the Cavs significantly improve their defense during the playoffs?

Right now, they aren't playing any defense. The perimeter players [especially the guards] are not stopping the ball and the bigs aren't being physical w/the guys who are going to the basket. Way too many easy lay-ups/dunks.

The Cavs will have no chance in the playoffs if they continue to play that type of defense. I am hoping that they will dramatically improve their D, just as they did in last year's playoffs.

I really wish Bogut wouldn't have gotten hurt. He could have been an asset w/his physicality and rim protection.
