Game 79: Wizards at Cavaliers GAME THREAD !!!

[InBoobieWeTrust]

Hey- he was perfect down the stretch and we won!

Still made it unnecessarily difficult though.

Had the Cavs lost people would’ve blamed lue when the lost really should’ve been on lebron. He had like 6 turnovers by the 3rd and just didn’t seem to have his head in the game. Even Greg Anthony said the stats he had which were like 20-11-5 at the time was cute but they weren’t impacting stats. Look we all know bron can get 20-7-7 in his sleep but he clearly wasn’t engaged after the first quarter.

I’m glad he turned it around and played hard at the end. Good win and hopefully they win in Philly tomorrow.

I forgot about Stan. Mostly because he makes all those putzy faces in the regular season too.

I like seeing the guys who try to act stoic and cool just lose their shit and begin to consider the merits of a monastic life in Tibet when they realize they have no answer for yet again for LeBron.

I’ve been re-watching Lost and just watched the Long Con episode earlier this week, so my guard is up and my spidey sense activated.

Good for you... I wonder if they still have charters to that island. I'm thinking of sending special someone a gift.

Why are we cursed with this idiotic coaching staff everything possible points to JR and TT being huge negatives but they continue to give them minutes. Cedi literally won us game but fuck no bury him along with Z.

I'm 99% convinced Skip has been trolling for years. No way he's actually that stupid. LeBron would have zero energy left in the 4th if he attacked the rim all game long.

Whether Skip is trolling or is not the point. People equating attacking the basket to the only time he gives a crap is troubling.

Then again perspective with LeBron is hard for fans sometimes.

LeBron was amazing and Cedi made a huge play at the end. This might have been one of the most poorly coached games I've seen though. The lack of adjustment by Lue was terrible. The 3rd quarter and most of the 4th was a shit show.

Playing TT and Nance together was inexcusable. Especially when Green, Love, and Korver were shooting well from 3.

Did the kardashian even score tonight? He's the only player i never want in rotation. Jeff green only pisses me off when he thinks he can shoot like Reggie miller.

the sad part is that T.T and J.R are only lowering their stock so its gonna be impossible to get rid of them.

If your posts start to sound like this guy its time to re-evaluate what you post.

Expecting Lebron to do what he did at the end of the game tonight for an entire game is unreasonable. He went HARD the last 5 minutes.

On the other hand, a modicum of effort on the defensive end during the rest of the game would go a long way. There were several times where Washington got an uncontested layup because he was slow to get back on D or was out of position due to lack of effort. He might not have had to go hero mode at the end of the game had he played differently earlier.

Hey.. that’s why you will never see me complaining about lebron unless the game is over and he truly had an off game.. cuz at any moment I know he can turn the whole game around when he takes over for a stretch. Even still at the age of 33 in his 15th season. Unbelievable.

It’s crazy though how much this team really does rely on him to play all out in order to be good.. that’s not a good thing too. But that is the true definition of what an MVP is..

I get that. However, that is the reality. He's 33, 15th year, 7 straight NBA finals, and oh he leads the league in mins..


We're not strong defensively around LeBron either. So some lapses defensively again does not equate to not giving a crap. Remember him coming back here was suppose to be easier?

Its time to think that just maybe he knows his body and the game within the game more than Cavs fans.

Mother fuck , I flipped it off after we went down twelve likr halfway through the 4th.

Wow.

 

[daddywags]

I think there's only so much energy even LeBron has - that he does that in the last six minutes is one thing. That the opponents know he can do that any time he wants has to be terrifying. That was a big "F-U, I don't care what the deficit is, I can beat you."

 

[Cavatt]

That was really poor game management by Lue. He really blew it ImO .He got bailed out by LeBron again.

Cedi clearly needs JRs mins unless Jr is killing it. Wtf, he even took him out early when he hit 2 3s to run up to score.

Obviously rookies can't contribute on a winning team. Smh

 

[And1]

Cedi again proving he needs minutes over JR... And even though Nance was not great, he still had 10 boards. Tristan in 10 minutes had 1 foul. That's literally what he provided. Tell me Zizic would be worse...
