if you want to say fans want to see the cavs fail, that is not it. they are failing and i hate seeing it happen for the same reasons. lazy free throws from quarter 1, no PG lineups, no Merrill when we need a 3, keeping a Vet on the floor when they should be benched, depending on the top 8 in a close back-to-back game on the road. all the exact same stuff we have seen before.

the fans that complain like me about the same old stuff are complaining because we keep seeing it. not because we want the cavs to fail.

‘Well said. Most of us are smart enough to see what is coming in the playoffs and then what it means for Donovan after it is over.

Sam, Wade, and even CPJ provide a reason for that not to be the case.

Well, looks like we've cooled off a bit.

 

[Real Deal]

Embarrassing loss for a back to earth Cavs team.

 

[Pierre Pan]

Garland sucks

He’s really been leading the troops to victory against great teams in Mitchell’s absence

 

[cabs]

7 point loss, just like yesterdays 7 point loss

i know JBB is not going anywhere this season, so don't even post about me wanting to get him fired. i have resigned myself to that not happening until after the playoffs, if even then. don't be lazy posters dismissing fans who watch most games and get sick of the stuff in competitive games.

Well said, my friend. I’m not sure why some posters can’t comprehend that.

We could have used more Porter in this game. Porter over Levert we might win

Say your prayers before bed that Mitch extends here. A Garland, Mobley, Allen core is not nearly as sexy as we thought two years ago.

Not being coached well

He is unfortunately not what we thought he was. Really disappointing.

 

[Jscc]

All right, no more complaining from me about not getting media attention while winning. I get it.

 

[jjvors]

Even though we lost, I'll have a drink. Bourbon on the rocks.

Good points:

Allen 24-9-0 with a block.
Garland 20-5-9 with 2 steals
Strus 14-1-6 with a block and a steal

That's all. Let this stinker serve as motivation for the team. I'm glad they never gave up.

Sad but true

Bad loss. Boneheaded plays and lineups.

What’s a good loss?

 

[boostorbust1]

Looks like sports center was right. Cavs success was their weak schedule

 

[hud11]

Looks like mitchell is out with no "letemknow" tweet thus far. Will JBB:

-Give Merrill 20+ minutes?
-Have a quick hook for levert and Niang if they aren't doing what we need them to do
-Allow Porter consitent minutes as backup PG

If he does 2 of these things, they win.

Well JBB went 0/3, started off ok with CPJ in 1st half, but not enough Merrill no CPJ in 2nd half and most egregious keep going back to Levert. Good job!
