Game 65, Cavs @ Rockets, Sunday, March 12, 2017, 9:00PM EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Besides the rebounding, the other difference tonight...

Harden gets TT switched onto him and attacks the hoop. In the second half, LeBron/Kyrie get bigs switched onto them and shoot jumpers. They attacked the paint in the first half and scored at will, second half, not much.
 
What I've seen in March is disgusting. When the defensive team is struggling to get defensive rebounds every game, is just embarrassing. It's just sad to watch.
 
Been a handful of games this year where LeBron has just made terrible decisions shooting and passing.

Don't care that they are going to lose tonight but sheesh, take care of the ball and don't just give the game away.

Our late game execution, save Kyrie, has been miserable this year.
 
Rockets taking full advantage of dead Cavs legs


I can't imagine they'd take these chances tonoffensivly rebound the ball against a healthy Cavs or GS team.

Because we'd get these rebounds and push it down their throats for easy points
 
LeBron getting the Anderson switch and then flinging up an off balance 18 footer is very fitting.

It is embarrassing that we are in legitimate danger of not getting the 1 seed in such a mediocre conference. Shockingly awful job by Lue and his staff this year.
 
The NBA waters down their own product with these back to backs. The Cavs so obviously lost steam as this game went on. It's one of the many reasons the playoffs are a totally different animal.

God this is painful to watch. So humiliating. We either have our center guarding Harden or our PG guarding their center. They can just have whatever they want. Basic stuff and we never adjusted the whole effing game.

Actually the Cavs did adjust and got burned both ways. They got burned on switches (Thompson getting abused) and burned on traps (Harden offensive rebound after JR/Frye trap and Kyrie getting abused afed rotation onto roll man).
 
The only positive thing about this game is we are step closer to the playoffs, then we will see if this team is for real or not
 
Freethrows advantage always wins games. It's hard defending 5 on 8.

IT'S going to be fun watching GS and Hou beat the living shit out of each other
 
Guys this is a back to back on the road. Your team looks fatigued. No reason to overreact.
 
Cavs definitely ran out of gas in the 4th.

This was a tough back to back travel wise.

Still no excuse for the turnovers and OREBS.
 
Oh well.

Tough loss. Very tough.

I really hope the GM stop playing games and get a big in here. I don't care who it is. The Cavaliers need help with rebounding. Period.

It's a very fair point. The numbers are a bit egregious, but we had no business ever even being up 14.

Harden's advantage of getting all the calls disappears in the playoffs, which is the biggest reason ultimately they are no threat to anyone. Houston blows.
