So.. I'm hoping IT will get better, or else we aint winning. Simple as that, really.

No, 5 games back from 7 months off to injury, playing with all new teammates and shooting 10% lower than his career FG% and 10% lower than his career 3p% is probably as good as he gets.

Cavs need a big. Badly. A true C. Not love(who I love-Ha), not TK, a fucking Center

We need an upgrade at SG so bad. JR and Korver aren't cutting it. Korver can't get open with the Warriors and if he isn't hitting shots, we can't live with his defense.

He can't get open because the run the same screen patterns for him everytime.

I’m tired of playing soft against these guys. The wide open drives to the lane or dunks drive me insane. Be physical with them. Make them
earn it. Sorry, but I gotta see more fire against them. Hell against anyone. Questionable Lue lineups. Poor Mid-rangers. Can’t compete with them while getting nothing from JR/Jae/Korver(due to their scheme against him). It’s so damn frustrating

The Kardashian Curse is strong with this one.

This forum is so delusional about this team and the NBA in general. Just accept it all ended July 2016.

Virtually all of us are saying this team isn’t good enough to compete with the Warriors as is. How is that delusional?

Can't hit 3s all night. Frye comes in and nails one. Makes you wonder what a coach that was willing to try different things could have done tonight. I like Lue, but his love affair with bad players is astounding.

Why did Cedi get pulled from the rotation? Because he actually showed signs of potential or actually tried?

Or is it that Lue won't trust a rookie if he doesn't have to, aka if half the team isn't hurt and he can give the minutes elsewhere.

Cedi has not been/is not in "the rotation"
Being in the rotation means you play minutes every single game.
He's getting some spots here and there. Some in meaningful moments, some in garbage time.

Hopefully Durant leaves after they win this year.

The Kardashian should never play.

GS don't just have an unfair level of talent. They also have a system in place which maximizes the collective talent. The start of the 4th is an object lesson on what not to do against them, or anyone else for that matter, offensively. Bad shot after bad shot, stationary, stagnant play.

Lebron was deadly playing off ball to start the game, then they fall back on the bad habits that will take superhuman individual performances to beat this team.

Just accept that we really are not contenders and this doesn't even hurt. Like I said. We could play this team 10 times in a row and lose all 10 games. We can NOT beat this team no matter what moves we make and how we play. There is no trade that we can do that will favor us over them. There is just no scenario in which this Cavaliers team has a shot to win the NBA Championship and that is why LeBron James is going to leave. I know this is going to instantly get a "disagree" feedback and I understand, you're upset, frustrated and want to imagine in your mind that the refs and our lack of shooting caused us to lose but it's just not true. The Warriors gave a C+ effort and blew us away in the second half. Just enjoy LeBron for the rest of the season and while it lasts because come next season we'll be back to cellar dwelling for the next 5+ years until we can somehow assemble a team that can compete once this Warriors DYNASTY is over. They will reign as champions of the NBA for at least the next 5 to 6 years.

Warriors literally toyed with us all game long. They are so far above us right now it’s not even funny. Hard to even get pissed, they just have better talent AND coaching

About to drop behind Miami and Washington

James Jones could wake up from a nap on the bench and come into a game at any point and time. Frye hitting a garbage time 3 doesn't mean he's a good matchup against the Warriors, not when our other main big is Kevin Love.

Would be nice to find someone to take over for TT though. Either someone who just does what TT does much better(DJ) or someone with a totally different skillset(?)
