Kyrie needs to show up and lebron needs to stop with these turnovers.

we can beat chicago. i love how everybody else is showing up to play. Delly has been getting it in.

I think the most important factor in today's game (as well as the rest of the series) is going to be the refs.

If the refs let the game become thug ball like they did game #3 and the whole series in Boston then the game will be close to the end going either way.

If the refs tighten up and let the skill players play then I think we win the games fairly easily.

Gasol is out today.

Holy turnovers guys. And our only decent ball handler has one leg.

Kyrie is getting destroyed. He needs to be benched for Della at this point. He physically cannot stay in front of Rose or score on him.

I'm not a doom and gloom type person...but so far not looking like we're pulling this out today.

Turnovers, James throwing up bricks...ugh

always next year.....


lol.


If James would just stop turning the ball over and have a "decent" LeBron game the Cavs would win.

I'm getting doom and gloomy. Kyrie is obviously hurt, so it's killing us. LeBron seems to have lost the ability to dribble, so when Delly is your best ball handling option at the moment, we're in trouble. Not to mention, we're putting on a brick laying clinic.

Actually, if ANY of our main guys would have decent games, we'd be just fine. Our best players right now seem to be TT and Delly.

Kyrie is done physically. Series is done.

LeBron looks like he's mentally checked out too. It's like he knows he's lost Love, and Kyrie is a shell of himself too, so why bother.

Our two stars are 6/17 with 5 turnovers. Yet somehow, it's a tie game. This is why I still have a glimmer of hope. If one of them can get it together ...

What ever happened to Lebron's jumper?

He forgot the combination to his locker he stored his "talents" in when he first moved.

I do have to say Kudos to the rest of the team. They have stepped up as best as the can. Shump is slowing down Rose, TT is menacing on the boards, everyone else seems to be shifting around on D. Once LeBron settled down a bit, we went on a 16-0 run. If LeBron can stay composed, and Kyrie can contribute something, we hopefully will be okay.

I'm more concerned about his ball handling. A lot of our guys have been struggling from the outside today. It's like all of our main strengths are gone today. LeBron can't post up, Kyrie can't drive, our shooters can't shoot. Yet somehow we have a 4 point lead.

If they can't beat the Bulls when they are missing Gasol then the Cavs dont have a shot at winning the title.

Forcing up the 3s

I'm pretty sure my 3 point shooting % is WAY above LeBron's...and that's not saying much

We can't even hit the wide open threes either.

2 for 15 so far ... ouch.

Times running out on the Cavs season.

Not sure we could throw the ball into Lake Michigan at this point.

this is not looking very good

How can "pros" shoot this bad?

The Cavs lack of a bench is hurting them.

I said it all year...no bench will cost us in the playoffs. This season is over....Blatt starting Shump is stupid...shump is a mid level defender and a below average offensive player..he had 2 good offensive games all year and now he shoots like he's larry bird..Smith needs to be starting bottom line. Lebron is no longer best in the world..top 10 yes, but he is one of the most inefficient players in the league. We need better defenders, and a bench that can actually play. We fix that and we can make another run next year. Kyrie is done...the fact he's even walking is amazing. I have Zero confidence we win this series. I think it ends at home. Getting abused inside without gasol.. I constantly see Mosgov and Thompson boxed out by Gibson with one hand..It really looks right now like the Cavs don't believe they can win any longer. We have noone on the bench that can do anything, thats hurting us

At least they have Miller, Jones, and Marion. . .

Both of these teams look dead.

LeBron is going to lose this game for us ....

as he has many others....he can't do it in the playoffs if he has to be the man

This is wrong in so many different ways.

Game 5 against Detroit? Game 6 against the Celtics when he was with the Heat?

And those are just the ones people can remember.

Anyway, why can't the Cavs get an inbounds play off?

Mother of God.

Good gawd LeBron

I cannot believe they didn't call a foul on that!

I love you LeBron! Forget everything I said it this thread.

Meanwhile, Van Gundy is still bitching

"Not gonna call Noah fouling?
Take that!"

LeBron

CAVS!!! James when it counts!!

RIGHT BACK IN YOUR FACE ROSE!!!
