dear lord.. we were in a position to get one more top 4 draft pick. Of course, we would mess this up. smh. We need to shut this down before they actually really screw it up.

There are 24 games left and we would have to win 20 of them to actually have a shot at the playoffs. We have a core to be good next year. this season was lost before it started.

yeah, its time to shut it down.. we gain nothing by continuing to try to win right now.. this team needs a lot to be competitive. Tank and get the odds and hopefully a franchise player.

Back to the L train last night

Some of our starters are part of these losses. We might consider adding a coach and a solid core player or two. We will need to part ways with a few regulars to turn it around. Patch players are not getting it done.

Can this one. Flush all the attitudes. Rinse. Repeat.

We have some really nice young players.

We lost to the Pelicans, who are starting to play much better as Zion got healthy enough to play.

The Cavaliers are not a complete team yet. That said, Sexton is turning into quite a scorer, and Porter Jr and Garland look like nice pieces again.

It turned out that the Beilein experiment was a total bust, but I like Bickerstaff, and it looks like the team is responding to him.

Garland has had some nice moments, I agree. You hate to keep saying it, but we’re a few drafts away from being competitive.

We'll see what happens. If we have another nice draft this year ..... who knows?

I wish we would have been able to get a look at Windler this year. He is supposed to be a really good shooter, as well as a solid rebounder. I think he can provide solid depth, with possible starting potential. (health permitting)

If he is able to play, and be what he should be able to become, the 2019 draft would be viewed as an outstanding draft for the Cavs.

We definitely need to hit on our draft pick this season. We have made so many trades that it's hard to keep track of what picks we do/don't have.

I can agree with that. I have liked what I have seen in Nance. Sexton and Garland have started to get real solid, and I enjoy watching Porter, too. Some of the bricks are killing us, and a few teams have had some great shooting outside that we seem to be unable to stop.

Better D. But we seem to be running harder and hustling more. WIP (Work In Progress). Coach B One leaving helped. Coach B Two seems to be an upgrade. This not a season to remember IMO.

So let’s rehash, Kevin Love is upset he is being paid too much in Cle?

Appreciate the defensive footwork during crunch time. If you don’t want to be overpaid, let’s find a settlement. You were paid to be a leader.

We need to focus on players that want to be here, and lead.

Yeah, I can understand his frustration, but it’s getting old. If we could find someone to take his contract and give us a decent return that’d be perfect

Tough night for the Cavs tonight, missing Drummond, Tristan, and Garland, against a fully healthy Jazz team.

Yeah, it was a pretty slim chance last night. Utah is good too

time of year the so called vets coast and malinger. Its good for us in the long run, get extended look at youngsters, play with lineups and sets and get a better idea of what you truly need for next year

Cavs are going to mess around and make ticket prices go back up!

Fun Fact from Fox STO: Last time the Cavs had 4 players with double-doubles was 3/24/90 when Price, Daugherty, Nance Sr. and Hot-Rod Williams did it.

Delly with 25 assists in these past two games.

Cavs had 60 rebounds tonight.

Nice win on the second game of a back-to-back.

7 guys in double digits scoring tonight.

This is a cool story...

This seems kinda quick.

What's the rush?

Koby Altman is awful. I don't trust a single thing that guy does.

I thought the same thing.

He's done a decent job so far, but would have been nice to see what our other options would've been.

Sexton is becoming a star. Altman appears to have hit pretty well on both Garland and Porter Jr. I think that the Drummond trade was a good one.

Rebuilding a team after Lebron James ditches you is tough work. After he left the 1st time around, after a 61 win season, we won 19, 21, 24, and 33 games. Lebron returned, and we instantly made a huge jump. He left, we went back into the dumper. Amazing how that works.

Altman has been here for what ..... 3 years? What makes you think that he has been "awful"?

Dan Gilbert is like Jimmy Haslam. They don't let contracts get in their way. Gilbert will fire him six weeks into the season next year if he's not pleased.

Tough loss in Chicago tonight, with Tristan, Garland, and Porter Jr all on the bench, and with Mooney and McKenzie getting a combined 34 minutes.

Cavs shot only 25% from 3 point range.

To make matters worse, the Cavs were +4.5 and lost by 5.

I think the Cavs have been playing better with Garland out and Delly in the lineup. He's been productive getting more minutes.
