Sabonis is a turnover machine.

Anyone else getting the vibe that the Cavaliers don't enjoy playing with each other??

Even last year it looked like they did despite the reports of Kyrie being frustrated, but this year it doesn't look that way.

I think being James' teammate is exhausting. He seems like his is very high maintenance...seems like a guy that wants to be liked so badly that he rubs guys the wrong way

This team has zero chemistry

Yeah.

It's hilarious how after two games since the trades (@BOS, @OKC), people thought the Cavs were officially back and ready to contend with Golden State with their new young, athletic acquisitions. None of them have really made a grand impact so far in these playoffs.

Oh, and Tristan Thompson in 8 minutes has been out-rebounded by Oladipo and Bojan each  :laugh:

No matter what happens in this playoffs...the cavs are done. This roster is terrible. James can't win with these guys and hates Gilbert. Boston and Philly in the East going forward

I just hope Lebron doesn't go to Philly, or Kawhi. Unfortunately I predict Kawhi gets traded to PHI for something like Fultz, Saric, salary + Picks. Lebron probably stays put OR goes West (Lakers? Spurs? Rockets?).

Still say LBJ goes to the Lakers with PG or Leonard.

I could see Kawhi in LAL. But it depends on if LAL is willing to pony up Ingram AND Kuzma for him. I doubt Spurs will ship him to LAL for just one of the two and some future pick when a team like PHI could offer more, or Phoenix or even Miami I think, etc.

Well, his thumb might also be affecting him a bit. He suffered a thumb injury in Game 2 but it was deemed okay (not too serious).

Lebron pretty much has to play 46-48 minutes for CLE to win games now.

But so far so good for CLE. JR Smith hitting some insane shots. Up 10 now.

I just don't really think that Philly can offer more. If they aren't going to offer up Simmons or Embiid, then they really don't have any other high level assets. I get it, Fultz still has potential, but is SAS really willing to bank on that potential along with the #10 pick? I also don't think Saric is really worth all that much. Kawhi is a super-duper star; SAS needs to get back at least one high level asset (kind-of like a Brown or Tatum).

The Lakers do make a lot of sense. If Lebron agrees to go there with the addition of Kawhi, they can comfortably offer Ingram, Ball, and Kuzma and still come out way ahead.

Kyle Korver is such a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ty player. Doesn’t defend. Just bricks threes

Down to the 4th quarter in Indiana.  Hope both teams can find a way to lose.

  • That's turrible
Oladipo needs to make some shots. They’re always close and then they blow any potential lead swing because he misses.
