DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Tailgate Forum Cavs Continued

Giannis travels just about every time he has the ball. Never gets called

his length makes his movements so deceptive

Make me!

You and Rish have made this thread almost unreadable w/your constant cry-baby BS!

There is no real BB talk. It's just the blame game.

Bucks in meltdown mode

Throttle it all the way Cavs!

Love has missed so many chippies tonight, always amazes me to see that from a 6’10 guy

JR just airballed a free throw.

Yeah he always makes me scratch my head, some of the shots he hits off balance, fading away, smothered. Yet can’t hit FTs. Good game for Love and JR finally. We need both to play like that nightly. But 29th and 30th defense in NBA, you knew the shots for both teams would be there

Dang, the Cavs won. I'm sorry for you.

So, we are 5-2 vs playoff teams from last year.

0-4 vs lottery teams from last year.

definitely a focus problem.

Look at the calendar and relax, y'all.

He tries to tip a lot of balls in from awkward angles when it looks like he would be better off coming down with it and going back up strong.

Two people actually liked this post. Yikes.

I wasn't available or I would have been on. If the Cavs deserved to be trashed I would have trashed them. If not I wouldn't have.

The fact that it annoys you and makes the thread unreadable for you will only make me want to do it more.

Btw, how many times have you been suspended from this board? Can we get a count?

good win last night. Milwaukee is a pretty good team (who just got better with Bledsoe)

not enough apparently. But watch him go off the rails the minute someone calls him out on his BS. Or how he tells everyone to stop attacking him..lol

LOL.....nice.

Last night was refreshing to watch and we won! We still need more stops, but we actually looked good against a fairly tough team. It isn't fixed, but it is less broken IMO. And we ran some!

Go, Cavaliers!

Celtics with 10 game winning streak.

Kyrie pretty much closes out every game with multiple spectacular plays.

Why the Cavs didn't send him to a bottom feeder like Phoenix is unexplainable.

I'm not sure what will happen this year but the Cavs will be looking up at the Celtics for the next several years after. And the Cavs enabled it. Makes my blood boil.

On a separate note, I think the Cavs cover tonight. Wouldn't even surprise me if they won.

I will admit when it comes to this topic I'm a broken record.

Like I said it makes my blood boil.

You and I have something in common. We both do something with regular frequency. For me it's complaining about the Kyrie trade. For you it's getting suspended from this board.

This board needs some type of counter or ticker at the top which tracks your suspensions.

I would address that, but I am not permitted to speak about my suspensions, even though guys like you are permitted to bring them up over and over.

Why can't you speak about them?

Some type of confidentiality agreement with dawgtalkers? LOL.

The big bad tough Vers getting bullied like that? No way!

Just saw that Rose will miss tonight. Really just I expected with him so far, always hurt.

So, will LeBron play the Point tonight?

It was always an awful signing. At one year and coming off the bench I guess it was fine. But never been a Rose fan, as a player or person.

Hopefully this team can make some headway with Thomas.

This team is t even fun to watch, when they do play well it’s like a surprise . No effort, guys like love just look like crap most of the time. Barkley said it best, too old to win anything

We need to find a pg, even when rose plays he’s in last place in assists, he isn’t a playmaker, we need someone who can get the team in the offense and get others involved

Ow!

I have the lebron 14 that I use for my games and love them, best basketball shoe I’ve ever had, I am leery of the 15s because of lebron and his ankles this year, they shouldn’t have gotten rid of the lockdown strap, makes a huge differenxe

Nice resilience when they got down big

Love is hurting us right now

Crowder is trash, he needs to be on bench and let green play with lebron and the ones

Rebounding is a joke, Love is so damn weak

Yeah, we're really hurting on the defensive end .. both on teh perimeter and in the paint, and I don't see any way to get much better

Crowder has been the biggest surprise for me. He was the piece that was supposed to put the trade over the top.

He looks completely uninterested out there and gave up the key rebound that sealed the game for the Rockets. He appears to have no role or direction. He's just wandering out there. And his one on one D has been really bad.

Hey but Cavs covered!

Love is supposed to be the Cavs second best player but apart from glimpses here and there he has been really inconsistent. Can't have that from your second best player. He's hurting the Cavs.

And I've never seen a player miss so many tip ins. It's insane.

I know LeBron is putting up stats but he and Love just seem mentally fatigued.

The hopes for the season rest with an overrated 5'9" point guard. I think the only silver lining with that is he has a massive chip on his shoulder and seems to play better when he does.

That's the thing, he will have a point to prove and if he can score ~25 per game, that puts Kevin back to the 3rd option and reduces the pressure on Lebron to carry most of the weight.

All the Cavs need to do is float around .500 until Thomas comes back (assuming he comes back at all and healthy).

With Thomas on the floor, I think we win a game like last night. We simply just outscore them. Sure, his defense is horrible, but so was Kyrie's and we can't get much worse then we are now anyway. Essentially, we need his firepower to run&shoot the other teams to death.

If the plan doesn't work, oh well. I don't think keeping a pissed off Kyrie was going to put us over the Warriors.

lets not overlook the effect Brad Stevens has had, I think IT and crowder were a product of playing for Stevens, not because they are individually that great. Stevens is such a good coach, pissed we dont have him. I mean he has boston at the #1 defense in NBA, with kyrie on that team #3 in the NBA in steals. On the flip, you have Lue on record saying he doesn't put much emphasis on defense and he lets our offense be our defense.

I was against trading Love because I thought he just wasn't being used right, I think it has more to do with he just isn't that good, he's not a #2 option on a championship team, he's maddeningly inconsistent and weak as hell. I think he lost too much weight, if he was going to be the 5 he should have added 10-15 lbs and get to his Minn weight so he can bang more. I think the biggest thing is we need to find away to get younger. Going to be hard to do, especially when Lue won't play the young guys we have, you can't tell me Zizic couldn't bang inside with Clint freaking Capela.
