Man I just can’t buy into crowder. Dude is so bad on offense

Jr having a decent game, there’s no reason he can’t do this every night

Z Bo has always been one of my favorite players. For the longest, he was the only reason anybody ever talked about the Grizzlies.

He could have been so much more if he cared about his game and his body. Ton of talent, not enough give a crap

We’re letting Vince carter look like he’s back in his prime tonight.

Lue just has no clue. His defense is a joke. The switches don’t make any sense, you’re letting a 500 year old Vince Carter bomb you

This is just embarrassing. Hey Lue instead of taking the team out drinking, how about a practice or two

Tristan Thompson should not be playing anymore for this team

40 minutes a game catching up to lebron, great job Lue

I’m still waiting to see why korver plays so many minutes, he can’t get his own shot, can’t defend, can’t pass, can’t hit an open 3, misses too many open 3s and turns the ball over

Every year we have the worst west coast trips.

LeBron looking like garbage 2 games in a row.

Cavs D is so bad again.

Can Wade make a free throw.

Crikey.

Wade is such a bad FT shooter. Anyone that has ever played can see why with his stupid feet placement, nothing is squared

LeBron does not look like himself.

Cavs D non existent.

Lebron got old fast

wish we still had joe harris

We need a pg so bad, lebron has cost us 2 games in a row

When teams start running away you need the to run the offense through Love in the post.

Need some coaching on the bench instead of just standing there like a bump on a log.

Won’t happen, Lue is trash. This team would have been so much better off with Blatt. Lue is mike brown with more talent to work with

Yep. This pretty much was the reaction I expected when I saw Vince dropped 24 on 10-12 to help beat us.

He reminded me of that old guy in Caddyshack that was making all of his shots. I was waiting for the bolt of lightning, lol.

wow.

the rockets were up 62-38 on the celtics at half.

they end up losing 99-98.

Harden literally choked the game away with two offensive fouls back to back, both fouls coming with less than 10 secs left in the 4th.

Cavs are bad again.

Don’t worry.

IT will be back soon.

Too many guys that shouldn’t be on this team, or playing the minutes they are. Calderon, JR, crowder, korver and TT. It’s hard to rely on 3-4 guys doing all the work. Lebron has to have PG duties stripped, he’s a walking turnover

JR gives the team absolutely nothing.

The bench has come back down to earth.

I think Love is playing well, but wonder if he can be the second best player on a championship team in today's NBA. One thing that hurts him is Lue seems really strict on keeping him right around 30 minutes. He's doing a lot of damage in about 30 minutes a night which is encouraging. But he's not a physical freak. If he had 20% more strength and athleticism he'd be a top 5 player. But between Lue being stingy with his minutes and absolutely refusing to run the offense through Love in the post, I just don't know if he can be enough as the second guy to win a championship. I just don't understand not running the offense through Love in the post ever in a game, especially when the other team is on a run. Love will slow the game day, most likely score or make a good decision with the ball, and he's got to be a top 5 guy in drawing fouls. All four of those outcomes are good. But we never run the offense through him in the post.

Cavs are in a funk again. They went on that winning streak against the worst of the worst teams. They start playing some decent teams, and it's back to the funk.

Really hope Thomas can be the guy they hope he can be.

And I keep waiting for Crowder to make an impact.

He's been just bleh.

Lebron threw the ball away 4 times in the 4th qtr.

Steph curry went 10-13 from 3 tonight.

And hungover.

yeah, Crowder is trash on this team...he just doesn't fit, he's not a starter. We need a starting 1,2 and 5, Love can score at the 5 but he sure the hell can't defend anything.JR and crowder do nothing. Korver is done, if he's not making that 3 off the pick he can't do anything. He can't create for himself. Everyone else has to do the work for him to get a shot. Man would love to have kept Joe Harris. Lebron at the point doesn't work, he's great at creating out of post and off the ball, but him bringing the ball up and getting in sets doesn't work, he's just not that guy. He has below average handles, even for a 3. He needs to let someone else run the offense. Too many games with unacceptable amount of bad shots and turnovers from him. He looks really old lately. Lue doing no favors with managing his minutes. All of our starters tonight were negative +/-.

I personally don't like Lue, I've never hidden it, from him being handed the job to how he coaches and manages team. I still don't think he's got the ability to make this team all it could be, He's mike brown with more talent to work with.

I really hope IT comes back strong and we make some moves to get more physical players and guys that can be consistent. Consistent effort is a problem for us. Boston will mow us down in the playoffs if we look like this

agree on JR .. I'm tired of him at this point

Cue panic trades .....................NOW!!!!!

Isaiah Thomas will make his season debut Tuesday against Portland, coach Tyronn Lue announced. He will come off the bench and be under a minutes restriction.

absolutely awesome to see IT back on the floor tonight.

still has the quickness. got knocked to the ground and popped right back up.

omg IT is so quick

Cavs still don't play D.

Every team gets every shot they want.

Nice start for IT.
