AMICO is right Go back to the lineup that won 18 of 19 Bench IT. he’s lost. His attitude is a joke. He can’t play the game. Bench TT. **** him. This team is a mess I have no words.
It looks like DG has finally stopped calling all of Lebron's bluffs and is going to let the ship sink. I've gone back & forth all season about whether or not to trade the pick, but at this point, there's no way they'll be moving it. As crazy as it sounds, if we are a second round exit, I guess there may be a hidden gem in the low 20's pickwise that we may have a shot at. With a lot of the contracts at hand though, it won't even be a "blow the team up" situation in the next year or so, as we have 2-3 untradeable clunkers that we'll be forced to watch at minimum for next season too. Regardless, the last 3 seasons were for the memory books. Obviously gotta cherish 2016, and even the mammoth David vs Goliath of 2015 (which was just as good as a story). Just think, if Lebron hits that stepback jumper or Shumpert tips it in, we go up 3-0 in that series! Just as we saw the impossible happen with the Lebron comeback at the early end of the story, we are now facing the dreaded demise that we all knew would come after using all possible assets to get to those 3 straight June appearances. Where we are now, was it worth it? I'd say absolutely yes. As ****ty as it is now, we're never gonna see 3 straight finals again in Cleveland- so without a doubt, I wouldn't have changed anything (except not giving TT and JR those contracts... and driving Kyrie out of town... lol)
Don’t wanna blame IT but it was all good before he came back g Watching the team is pretty pathetic man lol
IT ain't meshing with the team at all and is not close to being 100%. I can tell you that a 5'9" player like him has to rely almost extensively on explosiveness and he has none presently. He needs to swallow his pride and reinvent himself as a 6th man or a bench player. Tristan Thompson is only 26 but looks like he has plateaued as far as his game goes. You'd expect him to be hungry and have more energy.
You're probably right about this. Clown hasn't been the same mentally since having a youth with the Instagram bird and now having another one with Kartrashians.
he's hurting the team man. I think he needs to come off the bench for a while or something idk. or he needs to suck up his pride and change his game up a little bit.
He's hurting the team big time. It's the equivalent of going 4 on 5 out there. I honestly think CAVS management is shopping him as an expiring at this point hence Lue starting him and not making any type of adjustment. Both him and Crowder looking like Boston 'system' guys which probably means that Lue has none either. If Coach Blatt is still on Cleveland's payroll they really ought to bring him back. LBJ also needs to shoulder some of the blame for this mess. He shouldn't have pushed for Cleveland to re-sign JR, TT, Shumpert when their play was declining. Getting newer, motivated and focused teammates would have helped.
TT fell for the witches curse man!!! smfh and yeah same goes with bradley too. Boston players that were good with Brad but not so much outside of the situation
That was one of the worst yet. I watched the first half live and fell asleep feeling pretty good. Just watched the second half and I’m so frustrated. That’s why I liked Blatt - we’ve got no system. When he shots aren’t falling - and that will happen to everyone sometimes - we’ve got nothing. It’s just iso-ball and bricks. We got away with it on talent and luck for a while but that isn’t working now. This team is broken. I just hope there’s enough time to turn things around.
@drewsone @kdawg We had a similar problem with DeMarre Carroll with our local Raptors. Man was playing well above his average under the ATL system but struggled in our system or lack thereof. If IT & Crowder are traded it would be interesting to see what both of them would have to say about CLE's system because DeMarre Carroll was not so kind and he may have inadvertently caused some changes to be implemented this season (to some effect).
not getting hoped up at all but Shump is inactive tonight, no reason given, hopefully its cause well, y'all know not like any trade is gonna make a difference no 2 or 3 players is gonna put htis squad with houston or gs or okc if anyone thinks this isnt all pos gilberts fault u r off yer rocker. ever since Griff got all the shine for the title this has been a slow downward spiral. i cant stand flat earth but he wins easily, saw what was happening and that it wasnt gonna get any better. i bet hen pos gilbert and bron pass each other in the hall nobody says ish, HORRIBLE to have that kinda relationship between star and owner, then again that barbershop commerical sealed the deal !!!!! #ITSALLDANSFAULT
