**2016-2017 CLEVELAND CAVALIERS THREAD**

Well, that was tough to watch. Looking forward to the rebound stomping of the Lakers tonight.

Sitting out healthy players has become a bad habbit for several teams now.
While it's strategically wise it is distrctful to the fans. Especially those who purchased an expensive ticket to watch the match in the arena.

FINALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Korver good to go also

is that fully healthy ?!?!?!?!



FOR ME this squad is 100 times MORE fun to watch when THA PIPELAYER STARTS :evil:
 
We need to get it going, Ty Lue seems to be overwhelmed with rotations. We yet to see see Deron/K Love together, i think they can be solid. It's that 2nd quarter unit that gets us all jacked up.

Defesne they gotta just put in effort, they can't be that bad.

I remember last yr, Kyrie bday, we lost to Nets, then after that turned it on, hopefully that is the case here
 
We got some serious issues, def time for concern, this is the Worst a Lebron James team has ever looked in late March, we cant guard pick and roll or uptempo play. Even if we make it out the east, we losing in 5 to any team in the west

While the offense isn't really concern their defense has been terrible indeed.
 
So is it exhaustion?  Effort?  I don't see how they just forget to play D all of a sudden.  You have your usual suspects that are known for not being defensive experts, but it shouldn't be a collapse of this nature.  Is resting a cure for this?  Lack of practice to actually work the new guys in?

A. We don't practice, if we do, we barely ever.

B. Championship hangover

C. Saving energy for playoffs. Its costing our defense.

Its common for alot of teams that want to repeat to struggle, didn't happen last year for Golden State somehow they got better as a team all year (until game 5

Honestly i think this team has an extra gear they wont show till playoffs arrive. LeBron won't show his cards either till June. Thats what he lives for. All these dudes like IT, John Wall, Reggie Jackson, Dion Waiters won't be as hot as they were when they face us. There will be a few teams as soon as April starts they will get DUMB hot from the field in the first round. Pressure builds and alot of these PGs that cook us are gonna realize they cant carry an offense as well as they did in the regular season. The East is more competitive, but expect alot of upsets bc seed 4-8 are similar in talent. Only team I see us struggling against is Boston. Not concerned about Washington bc Wall shoots 35% in the playoffs and Beal is gonna be closed out harder so his numbers will drop. Our team is 15 deep, I just wanna see better rotations from Lue, use Liggins and Big D.Will more often.

They are getting good looks tonight but shots aren't falling. Kawhi is truley LeBrons krytponite. This team doesn't have energy on defense and have no rythem on offense. Don't see how this team can make it to the finals if they continue to play like this.

You fronting if you think you not concerned, we mentally just done, you can just tell from their body language, hopefully they find themselves in round 1 and just go on a run
 
LeBron went ghost in the 4th quarter and Kyrie had his head screwed on backwards again, not to mention Lue stinks with rotation management. I dont wanna see shump i wanna see Derrick Williams.
 
Well that was better - but it was the Sixers so it should have been that easy.

Just listened to the Bill Walton road trippin' - amazing!

Cleared up in the Cavs team shop too - 4 shirts in the clearance section for $40.

Did anyone else spot the Sixers doubling Channing and leaving Lebron wide open? What were they thinking?
 
Thank the Lord Swish finally resembles himself! Hopefully it can last.. When do you think Korver will be back? I don't want to rush it, but hope he has at least 3-4 games to get loose before the first round

I'm not really concerned about the offens capability of the Cavs but their defense has been slacking since the 2nd half of this season.
Simply allow way too many points.
 
Tyronn Lue said that the entire team, Kyle Korver included, will play tonight against Orlando. Lue says the plan, barring any unforeseen scenario, will be to play all of his guys in Boston tomorrow on the second night of a back-to-back as well.
