Game 49 | Cavs (33-15) @ Knicks (22-29) | February 4, 2017 | 8:30pm EST (Willy Wonka Edition)

Felt empty after that win even though we were up 27 at one point. A win is a win.

That overturned call makes me think the game must have been close to the spread.

I just think that's how nationally televised games are reffed. If it's a game, give the 50/50 calls to the losing team. They've been getting them all night.

As for the spread, here's your answer:

Not an ideal way to finish off the game. But a win is a win.

Lance Stephenson on crutches could do a better job than Kay Felder.

Hell, Lance Allred on crutches could do a better job than Kay Felder.

Gloria Allred chasing an ambulance could do a better job. Heyoooooo

Welcome back, Kevin. 23-16.

I swear to God if this team trades him for Melo...

Not going to happen...don't worry

 

[Flight479]

I hope that doesn't come back to bite us. LeBron has been playing way too many minutes this year and having to carry the team too much because of the injuries. But we will see how fresh he is if we make it to a late playoff run.

I'm just worried about injury. All these minutes are adding up and they need to do everything possible to reduce them.

 

[Dr. Gymbo]

Lol IBWT was right. LBJ made it to post game with Lisa to bring up being down a ball handler.

 

[InBoobieWeTrust]

I think LeBron is definitley going to get a lot of "DNP-Old" post ASB...to make up for his heavy minutes.

I heard on a podcast somewhere that LBJ isn't as worried about the minutes, as long as he gets enough GAMES off going forward...also he would like to have a little less responsibility during games. Like tonight...Kyrie out..LBJ made a point... as soon as Kay started looking like a rookie, LBJ had to do EVERYTHING.

Honestly Jordan Farmar instead of Kay in the 3rd probably would have had us up 25 going into the 4th instead of 16...LBJ might not even have to come back in. Not becasue Farmars good, but he's competent and experienced.

 

[Rich]

Here come all the bad hot takes on the 54th pick in the draft because he had a bad quarter.

I dunno man. You see him play one good 5 minute sequence in the first half and declare that he's going to be a good player. Is that any less smoking hot?

 

[bboy]

i would rest Kyrie monday too...that sgoing to be a tough one anyway

 

[godfather]

This organization looks like a walking mess. It doesn't kill you to give Farmar or Stephenson a 10 day contract. Not high on them? Okay, so what, 10 contracts are not given to players you're high on. But a quick band-aid with Kyrie being out is kind of needed.

And people wonder why LeBron bitches about this. Absurd, they don't care that they're beating him into the ground it seems.

If I'm LeBron, I'm pretty fucking livid.

And that means more wear-and-tear on LeBron.

A game we were up by 27. LeBron played 40 minutes tonight. No Kyrie, another 40 minutes Monday.

People, these minutes add up. If LB is worn down by the playoffs, point the finger at the front office for fucking things up.

 

[Chris Parker]

it really seems inexcusable given the open roster slot and fact that the 10 day contract isn't tying you up in any legit way; not sure what plausible excuse there could be. the only thing I could think of is if they are hard aproned and felt need to save every penny before the hard cap

 

[InBoobieWeTrust]

I dunno man. You see him play one good 5 minute sequence in the first half and declare that he's going to be a good player. Is that any less smoking hot?

I'm talking about a totally different kind of post. I'm all for posts analyzing his game and explaining why they think he wont be good in the future. But those aren't the posts I was referring to with that comment. Pretty stark difference between analysis and a "hot take" post.

But it is a game thread, guess I'm in the wrong place to complain about those types of posts. That's my mistake for sure.

Refs just absolutely giving the knicks the benifit if the doubt every chance they got.

Ridiculous lebron played 40, lue needs to pull.his head out of his ass.

Love was awesome, anyone that ever dout what he brings to this team go watch the 3rd quarter of the game
