**2016-2017 CLEVELAND CAVALIERS THREAD**

I'm not sure about the word marks - the sharp edges look weird for now. I like the top right shield though.

The new uniforms will be interesting to see.
 
My takes from the game

Cavs had 11 TOs to the Warriors 1 at the half and was only down by 8 at the half.

Unfortunately the team couldn't buy a bucket several minutes into the second half. I don't understand why Shumpert is getting all these minutes when he barley saw any action in the previous rounds. And also don't get why he is bringing the ball up court on multiple possessions. Since when is he a primary ball handler?

Korver and D Will need to step up. I know it's their first finals but they are crucial X-factors. If those two are on than I like the Cavs chances that much better. Especially Korver, he can be what Ray Allen was to the Heat.

Love needs to make his mark this series. But I can't blame him because everytime he takes it down low or posts up the damn refs let the Warriors mug him down there. Hard to get into a rhythm when you keep getting fouled yet the refs look the other way.

Bron needs to finish at the basket. 7 TO's in the first half is uncharacteristic of him. I know he's trying to get the guys involved but on half those turnovers he had a full head of steam to the basket but kicked it out at the last second which resulted in TO's.

Last but not least Tristan Thompson!! No way Cavs are winning if he's not grabbing boards and keeping plays alive. He's just as important and LBJ and Kyrie imo. They will not win if he is not doing the dirty work.

Really thought the Cavs were going to steal this one. So much for everyone predicting there would be no blowouts this series. Warriors got lucky on a lot of possessions as a lot of 50/50 balls bounced their way.

Game 2 is going to be a big one.
 
Tristan hit with the Kardashian curse SMH

I hope Korver steps up. I'm not having a lot of faith in D Will and Shump tho

And I give Love an A for effort but he was def getting mugged
 
Not surpised that the warriors won the first game. Has been the same last 2 years.
The question is rather who will do a better coaching job? Lue or Brown?
 
New wave warriors fans are TRASH lol
GS fan's would be more happy to see LeBron lose than just be happy for their squad.

You can't change being lame

Sorry, been in the boonies for a few days.

This is a Cavs fans thread - negative comments probably belong in the Lebron haters thread if you feel you must share.

Anyway, a win tonight and home court is negated.
 
Getting dressed and I'm about to head out and meet up with the fellas to watch the game. Think I'm gonna rock the wine reds for game two. As much as I love the Navy alternates, I believe they wear them too much. Only in the NBA does a team wear their alternates more than their primary road jerseys.

I'm so anxious for the game. Really want to see the adjustments Lue makes. It's literally pick your poison with this team. It's a incredible task at hand, but I believe in Bron Bron and the squad.


DEFEND!!
 
Cavs need to dump Shump, JR Smith, D will or who ever else is not producing and make enough cap space to land PG13, I mean Kevein Durant joined the 73-9 WARRIORS. So why not??? I don't want to hear this super team BS. KD changed the landscape of the league
 
Good game ya'll, might be closer in Cleveland if you guys continue to press our defense, it will a least be competitive.
 
Was competitive for one half then they broke it up.

If Kyrie can kind of get it going it'll help. But gsw has great def and Klay has been playing him well.
