Eruditor:
When we led by 8 in the first, he put out that mumu line up with DWest and co. Before long, Pistons led by 3. He left that line-up a tad too long before bringing KD back in. Then we went up by 5 again. Next thing he started doing stupid alterations like when Steph was playing around with 4 non-shooters.

I know TOs have been crazy but we have been bad with them all season. It still cannot justify losing by 8 after having led by 14pts at home. Kerr is too stubborn; if he has made up his mind before a game to make certain rotations, he will make them regardless of how the game is going. We needed to win yesterday to get a game ahead of SAS who have recently faltered. Why lose a home game to Detroit "useless" Pistons? Of all the losses this season yesterday's peppered my body. I was livid.

I know it is a long season and what not but he better start trying to rack up wins now. We would use much latter in the season to explore different line-ups in readiness for the playoffs.
I watched the game again. I agree with you. Our TOs, lack of respect for opponents from the squad, Kerr's stubbornness and sticking to a rotation for too long just to appear "professional" will continue to plague us until someone changes. Meanwhile, Curry and Draymond need to get their shît together and act like leaders.

You can see he is gradually coming to his own with this offense. Personally, it has been his defense that has impressed me over the past three games. That being said, my favorite player has been Baynes, what a presence on both ends of the court!

Really weird season this one is. Golden State and Cavs losing same night at home, I'm not falling for the initial gra gra though. However I think the Cavs should be a bit more worried. I can't wrap my head round why the Cavs are sooo bad on defense. The sheer lack of effort defies logic
father time is beginning to catch up with them all....

cheesy cheesy How did Cavs get that reputation?

I don't even know why some guys are panicking. You guys have a great squad already. It just seem like the guys lack morale to play (let's not talk defense at all), chemistry or locker room issues and maybe Kyrie saw it coming. Whatever it is ain't even that serious.


Wait!! You really thought you could get Cousins for Tristan who had 1pt, 0rb 0ast yesterday (with his outrageous contract) and a future 1st round pick??


Cavs better tank and build around Frye. We were told to build around Zaza too cheesy cheesy
for the cavs to get cousins they have to trade half of their team, if not more...

Uhh by making good trades mid season? Like korver last year?

I'm not panicking, I'm just saying if some guys won't cut it they should be traded.

In case you didn't know boogie is in the last year of his contract. The condition was that if the pelican two tower experiment wasn't working and he's still without a new contract it would be plausible for the Cavs to get him.

Brooklyn's "expected" lottery pick + TT, Shumpert and maybe zizic/tavares would have done it.

Things have changed now but that was a likely situation at the start of the season.

Yeah. For a short fuse in the last year of his contract. Because they Cavs are ret arded.

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 8:25am On Oct 31, 2017
WeissBarlow:
The pelicans are looking good so a dream scenario where we get boogie seems unlikely. Plus the value of our pick is in question.

But Cavs are known for making good mid season trades, it's unlikely we're getting an all star but we should at least move bums like JR and TT and get players who actually deserve to be in the NBA.
Lmao you want to add Boogie to this Cavs team? Hahahaha how much help does your boy really need?

I would like to see the GM that would be stewpid enough to take TT and JR's bloated contracts though stranger things have happened

I hope you guys add another All-star so you get to break the record of most All-stars in a team that failed to win a Championship. That would be another milestone for Bron to set
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 8:31am On Oct 31, 2017
I think why Steph gets taken for granted isn't necessary cos of the hue of his skin but simply because of how easy he makes the game look. You would not see an easier 31pts night from anybody else in today's game

You're okay with the status quo because you know the warriors are still the favourites.

You're spooked by the idea of boogie on this team because you're afraid the Cavs can actually beat the warriors with him.

The Cavs have 3 allstars. The warriors have 4, two of which are top 5 players in the league, 3 of which are all time best shooters, 3 of which are the best defenders in the league one of them DPOY. It goes on and on.


I'd take boogie Giannis AD and every other all star we can get. We want to win, not lose another finals.

Nice try! I'm not spooked one bit!! The Celtics lost Hayward and gutted their starting 5 from last season and are still grinding it out yet all we keep hearing from y'all Cavs fans is excuses, excuses and more excuses.

Even if you add Boogie there's no guarantee you beat Golden State. This present Cavs roster has more than enough to beat Golden State this year. You got the best possible outcome losing Kyrie but getting IT, Rose,Crowder Jeff Green and Wade. It can even be argued that when healthy the Cavs are actually deeper than Golden State

You might as well take Klay Thompson and or Kevin Durant from Golden State if you want a superior roster. All I know is that the Cavs have no excuses not to beat Golden State with their roster

No objective fan should make any excuses for Bron this year if the Cavs don't go all the way. Let's list the roster of both teams so we can compare their depth

It's very ridiculous, I tell you; even moreso with 2 other players averaging 20+ ppg.

He's like the most casual shooter ever. Everybody is talking about Kporzee and Giannis, due to their presence in their respective teams Meanwhile, Curry will drop 37 and people will talk about how Kerr's hairline receding or Klay Thompson getting a sun tan from the game.

Probably one more MVP will get people talking
Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 10:36am On Oct 31, 2017
In other news, Simmons is looking like the ROY. Nobody coulda played PG better for the sixers

Rockets won't impress if they continue having games like this. CP3 should be able to get back that transition play I saw from them against Warriors. Settling for jumpers and ISOs may not get them to WCF. And those 3 pointers...2 of your best players having 90% of their shots from behind the arc is beyond ludicrous.


Kporzee is porzeeing, Giannis is giannising. Both took off their jackets...

This NBA season is intense and unpredictable AND I LOVE IT!!!

Guys like Russ and Wall etc are seen to work hard for every point while Steph is seen hardly working.

Porzee has a lot of Dirk Nowitzki in him. I hope the Knicks get him some help
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 11:03am On Oct 31, 2017
Notice how my boy dropped 31pts without playing the 4th quarter.

Exactly why i said you dont know when you're saying, since when did average age become directly proportional to your defense.

Do you know who the second oldest team in the league are? The spurs! The third oldest? This is where it gets interesting, The Golden state warriors!

Do you see either of them playing doodie defense?

Cavs defensive issues comes down to tactics and communication plus attitude.

another reason why kyrie left.....
Ohhh hey, Kyries best friend is in the house providing insight never known before, what else did kyrie tell you?

Who cares about the sh itty as- celtics, we want to win a championship.

You just keep contradicting yourself, first the cavs are the favorites, then even adding boogie wont guarantee them a win and then he switches back again! Classic signs of a hater, speaking from both sides of his mouth.

Give us KD and Klay, we'll take them. If jordan bullied the nba with the second best team of all time why not lebron! We want to win, all that matters, if that rubs off on you the wrong way thats your business

Did you hear the cavs complaining about being old? We're good, if the spurs did it we can too. We have issues yes, but we'll fix them.

By assembler in chief do you mean koby altman?

BTW, adding a 35 year old is sure to push your squad average age, but this is a 35 year old you'd be foolish to reject, heck even the warriors tried to make a play on him did they not?

Well they are the oldest but that's a weak excuse for their poor defense. They are just poor as a team when it comes to defense. Poor transition defense, little or no communication, lack of effort, poor help defense (LeBron and Jr Smith are regular offenders), inability to read and adjust to opposition offense and just sheer laziness to hustle. Gone are the days when they had Kyrie with crazy offense and everyone would try to outscore the opponent. Age isn't an excuse. They are just that bad on defense.


29th in defense last year after the all star games. If they fix they're defense, Warrior in 6 cheesy
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:19pm On Oct 31, 2017
Not every one that criticises the Cavs is a Warriors fan. I need to put it out there.
