Game 52: Cavaliers (36-15) @ Thunder 30-23

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
These guys weren't going to go hard 3 straight games in the regular season. This was a easy one to see coming. Of course, Lue found a way to overplay LeBron in defeat. His speciality.

Only thing of consequence from tonight is that Williams looked surprisingly good.

I haven't had a real day off since New Year's. These guys need to SUCK IT UP.
 
Once everyone's healthy we might actually have the luxury of not having enough minutes for all our SGs

I'd have to think Liggins basically becomes the back-up PG, mainly for defensive purposes. Korver will likely get time at SF as well. Still hope to add another PG, but if you're always making sure LeBron is on the floor with Liggins, it'd be OK to have him at PG.
 
Seriously, have we won any BTB games this season?
Our road games record is one of the worst in the league!
Another useless 40min game for LBJ.
Is our defense one of the worst in the league? I have the impression that we allow almost 115p every game.
 
Why didn't we bring in Love earlier in the 4th? Did I miss something: only partially watching the game tonight
 
I kind of expected for them to run out of gas in the second half, so this loss isn't too worrisome for me.

Good to see a guy like Williams come in and get 12 and contribute. Also love to see those crazy ball handling skills Kyrie has and he tends to showcase them more against other elite point guards.

Get some rest and destroy Denver on Saturday.

We are 14-11 on the road this season. 3rd best road record in the east. The two better than us are 15-11.

We allow 105 ppg. The highest ppg given up is 114.

Its going to be ok. Step back from the ledge.
 
I really dont understand why Cavs still pushing the pace and run in this games.

Look, Cavs have the TOP5 worst defensive combinations for the entire league on perimeter and picks (Irving, Love, Korver, Frye). So, why this team still pushing the pace? Why?

We dont need push the game speed, we need to play half court, specially in back to back games (tired legs). Just playing at low pace and control turnovers, defense will be better and we have talent to attack without run.

Lue decided to roll with Derrick Williams instead for an extended stretch. Williams had been playing pretty well but I think it hurt us on the glass.
