Game 80 for the 3rd Seed | Cavs (49 - 30) @ Philly (48 - 30) | April 6th, 2018 | 7:00pm EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
if we didnt play carless first 2 quarters, and not be down by 30. we would have blown them IMO.
 
Wow.... so depressing we lost that when I was there.. I thought we had them. If we played just 50 percent the first half we would have easily won that game.. very disappointing..

damn, I hope we fucking learn from this game and people step up.

we are going to be facing the Sixers with Embiid back and they will have HCA. This year is going to be a huge challenge for Lebron and for the whole team.

You weren't even in the "fucking dumb" grouping. Just because I disagreed with your post doesn't mean I thought it was as bad as some of the others.

I was moreso talking about posts calling him trash as a player, etc, etc. And those ones are fucking dumb.


I just disagree with your post because i think Cedi CAN shoot. He's a 40% shooter from 3. Lower volume, but still has shot a decent amount of threes this year. He needs to just shoot MORE.


He missed 2 important shots, literally has been good from 3 all year..

I do like the kid. He has a bright future.

I respect your posts, and we get emotional in these game threads. I’m also sure it can’t be easy to watch, post, and mod all at once.

I just thought it was unfair to tirade on the Cedi group. His shooting has been one of those “unsustainable” things this season because we know it’s an area he needs to hit on as he develops. Tonight was just an example of his one limiting factor as a young player. He’s ahead of schedule. Just if he wants to be closing games, he needs to get better at the line.

I apologize for my role in the misunderstanding.
 
I don't understand how we lose Kyrie and yet the offense seems to have kicked up a notch higher.
 
No rebounds no rings !!!

Showed up at the end
 
Cedi simply has to nail one of those 3's. Just like Korver had to nail the one in the finals. When your number is called, you have to deliver in a big moment. Good thing it's game #80 of season and he's getting opportunity to engage a huge, huge game before the huge games.

Fuck, the Sixers understood Cedi was our 5th option and they absolutely funneled the stops through him. Fuck.

Maybe if these lazy entitled asses didn’t start every game slow as all shit, we wouldn’t have to try to make a miraculous comeback every night.

I can't call us lazy when we were missing Hill, Calderon, and we cautiously held Hood out for the second half. We're clearly thinking bigger picture.

Fatigue kicked in. They made so many little errors, usually on rebounding when multiple guys were out hustled by one on a couple of occasions. However the fact that they came back, kept going, gradually found a defensive purpose is encouraging.

so many players on the bench and not used. Korver, Nance, Hood...Love plays just 33 minutes and is out of rhythm when he comes back in in the 4th...I get that Hood and Nance didn't look good when they were in but we just have to use our depth and talent better.
 
Yea, I get it, Cedi couldn’t hit shit, LBJ and free throws, Clarkson without a brain or consciousness and we still came back from 30 down and should have won it on Philly’s court. That young team may be good, but they just got a small taste of Playoff LBJ.

Hood left with an injury.

Korver should have played more. Nance obv. needs to start. Id start both.

like I said before, the Sixers crunch time defense was "dare Cedi to shoot" and it worked.

He has the talent though. This game can be a growth opportunity for him. It's good preparation for the playoffs.
