IT showing why he's not the answer at PG

Hes got a big heart but he's a borderline NBA player. Reason why he was taken last in his draft. If he was 6'2 he would be a star

Borderline NBA player that could be 6MOY? Please don't overreact. We know he doesn't do as good with bigger guards, but he is definitely an NBA player.

IT starting the 14-0 run , then is the key reason Cavs score 9 points

come on IT. Too many turnovers
yup, team needs a starting-quality PG.  IT, Turner and Smart are not it.  Like Smart a lot but he's not a starting PG (not yet at least)

We can still make a come back, we've done it before. No matter what, we need game 2.

Please stop blaming the refs.  They are a vastly superior team.

Perhaps we're watching different games. Lebron and Kyrie are held to a much different standard by the refs than the rest of the players out there.

Superstars get superstar calls. It's the way of the NBA for some reason. Oh I know why because it's a player driven league. Got to make that money.

Ainge will continue to upgrade the roster.

The sad part is that the Cavs aren't even playing all that well.
47.5% from the field. 44% from 3. All above their season averages. How are they not playing that well?

You're kind of proving the point -- the Cavs aren't executing that well or anything, they're just beasting the boards and overcoming the Celtics with 1 on 1 talent.
This is how they always play...

They lead the league in isolation frequency. The Cavaliers will not out-execute you to death. They will out-talent you.

Exactly.  They don't play great basketball, they just out-talent you.  Out-talenting is not playing well. Which is why when they face a decent team in the playoffs I expect them to get rolled, whether that's in the ECF or the Finals.
Oh, in that case I agree.

Ah, refs swallowed the whistles, again. Jae Crowder was hacked.


We could have been picking in the top 5. But nooo we had to make Stevens happy. This is embarrassing!
Like last year, yeah? How's Marcus Smart working out for you, he's mashing the Cavs singlehandedly out there, isn't he?


Banks 2.0 was the wrong pick. Should have taken Randle or traded up for Exum. Both have super star ceilings. The one we are stuck with is currently getting abused by Kyrie and has the ceiling of Tony Allen and the floor of Banks.
Of course. And when the 5th pick from this season sucks, he'd be the "wrong pick" too. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Not hindsight for me. I've been telling it like it is all year that he was the wrong pick.

And if we get the wrong pick this year, what then?

Still better than this execution

Yeah, because relying on luck is more important and a better approach than REAL, ACTUAL PROGRESS. Jpotter is right. Pass the hash on the left hand side...

They are



But it'd be a lot closer if it were called evenly
I trust Danny Ainge

Come on. We are getting outplayed by a much better team. No need to look for excuses.

We shouldn't even be in the playoffs this year and they are title contenders.  It's what happens.

Borderline NBA player? Haha, right.

He isn't a star, and he won't ever be any better than Jamal Crawford, but he's certainly not a "borderline NBA player". Borderline players don't win SMOTY.

He won't it's Lou Williams to lose.

I like how Cleveland thinks they NEVER commit a foul at all.
