While TT is not directly responsible for the lost he has changed the entire vibe of the team, and not in a good way. He has brought his Kardashian bad juju. I'm not being funny. If he had to miss another month (not with injury) I wouldn't mind. I would welcome it lol

I have a feeling you guys will win the finals this year, I'm sure your defensive woes will be taken care of. I feel they are overexaggerated as I think they are because the anchor (Lebron) is waiting for Playoffs to flip the trigger. I wouldn't worry too much if I were you guys.

Yea almost assuredly not baring a league altering trade.

 

[Gus Zing]

He's trying things. And rightfully so.

Cedi wouldn't have made LeBron give a single fuck, and wouldn't have changed Wade/Korver/Green/Frye all looking absolutely awful.

Who cares? If they lose like they did (oh well)

I had more problems with LeBron against GS than tonight. It was a cluster**** from the beginning once the rotations were out of wack.

These are the games you don't play LeBron almost 40 mins regardless. Cedi should have checked in for LeBron at the end of the 1st. Once the effort didn't seem to be there you throw in Zizic early in the game as well.

Vets don't care or look shot? Throw in someone who will play hard. Who knows LeBron didn't give a single fuck against the Knicks when we were getting beat down but once he saw the other guys step up....he did in the 4th.

We had no juice and didn't even try to see if we can get it elsewhere.

Previous years I would have been ok with it. Now we can throw young guys out there. Its not going to ruin us.

Last year’s Cavs ended the year on a 4 game losing streak and were 9-13 over the last six weeks.

And what do you know... once the playoffs started everyone cranked up the intensity and they won the first 10 games in a row.

The regular season does not matter at all. It just doesn’t.

Being up in arms over any regular season loss is just silly. A December game without IT? Laughable.

Honestly, the more we lose the better. By the trade deadline, our own pick is supposed to look like an asset instead of a 26-30 pick.

This forum should be an experiment on brainwaves and sports. 60 year-old Vince Carter just raped our team, Golden State just dropped us pretty easily and people above are saying "It's just regular season who cares... I know you guys are going to win it all, don't worry about it".

Some kind of perverted Stockholm Syndrome.

If IT doesn't come back 200%, there's not a ice-cube's chance in hell we beat GS this year. Even with him you realize he only brings down the defense. All he does is outscore the other team, which has been proven for years is NOT how you beat GS.

Technically that's the *only* way to beat GS. (Or anyone)

 

[Andrew]

Seriously, my immediate thought once I realized the game was out of reach...

"Cancel the fucking Napa trip..."

Just a horrible effort by everyone involved tonight.

 

[FrontPageNews]

Didn’t stay up to watch the game but from what I’ve heard TT looked unplayable again and lue still hasn’t realized it.

I figured the NAPA trip must of already happened based on this loss. As soon as I heard they we're chillin out and decompressing with a bit of wine, I knew another loss was coming. Earlier this year there was some reference to LeBron and others having a good time drinking wine and we lost the next game. So now when we lose to the Jazz it'll be a complete road trip. Is this the beginning of a bad losing stretch like last January?

I knew some numskull would say that. You know what I meant.... You can't base your strategy around just scoring more with no defense, rebounding, gameplan, etc.

Double post

THIS. We were a better team with him out. The compulsion to give him minutes has messed everything up. If we don’t trade him or sit him, we will have another extended slide. He’s regressed from his fairly-low ceiling of 18 months ago.

Yes.
