Game 68: Cavs @ Clippers, Mar. 18th 2017, 8:30 PM EST

[TopThrill182]

At the game now. Spent $500 on a ticket ~30 minutes before it was announced the Big Three would sit. There are no words...

The game is even uglier so far than I expected!

 

[Rainman]

We have 2 playmakers LeBron and Kyrie. If there out there's no chance. But it's amazing how players have no idea how to run nba plays on offense.

 

[Walter White]

Karl Malone or anyone else comparing NBA players to "first responders" or doctors or whatever is just absolutely ridiculous. Logic escapes some people. They aren't remotely the same situation. Those people aren't professional athletes. This crap is getting blown so far out of proportion.

People that use that argument are probably the same people that argue teachers should be making millions of dollars instead of professional athletes. I guess they don't understand how business works.

Feel your pain I'm at the game as well. So many Cavs fans here the place would have felt like a home game if the big 3 or even one of them was playing

We get plenty of rest in the Army. The year after a deployment is very chill. Lots of four-day weekends and eight hour days.

And fuck these guys for shaming LeBron for not playing. Irving is out anyway, Love was going to be out. What is the point of LeBron playing major minutes and still probably losing to the Clippers with a game to play tomorrow night?

People should think for a second before opening their mouths on TV.

Deron has been a pretty good playmaker for us when he's surrounded by better talent.

It probably doesn't help the Cavs don't really practice much... not like we have set plays we run in practice that we can translate to the games when we don't have LeBron out there directing.

MADE A 3

 

[bboy]

I can see us getting the 2nd seed simply because we are going to take more games off before the end of the season

NBA players sometimes miss games. They actually have the audacity to question their work ethic for missing this one game. Like do they not know how hard these guys work all year and everyday behind the scenes.

And them continually comparing this situation to a normal job is just stupid. I guess ABC/ESPN are just salty they keep putting out garbage product. Maybe they should be the ones to take action and prepare for unforeseen circumstances.

If that was the case he would have just sat down after the tip. They need bodies.

I'm not talking about tonight specifically.

 

[tocov]

What a load of shit quote by Malon lol

 

[Taiter]

Tonight has confirmed one thing: Jumpers that hit the back of the rim and glass at the same time really don't offer much entertainment value.

I guess there is always the hope that a shot will get wedged between the rim and glass, leading to a chuckle.

 

[tocov]

We always let scrubs like Griffin light it up against us. Sheesh.

 

[Zog]

LOL fuck off Blake. You'd be getting roasted right now if we were playing full strength.

 

[tocov]

Frye is so shit on defense. Putting him on any decent C is fucking suicide.
