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

Would take my chances with a LeBron 50 foot fadeaway over him hitting 3 straight presssure packed throws.

 

[Walter White]

Come back from down 30 to lose like that? That is so depressing. We had so many chances.

 

[Lyst]

I knew for a fact LBJ was not going to hit all three, but damn that was exciting as hell. Going to need mediocre players like Green to step up every game this post-season, which I'm worried about that happening consistently.

 

[Flight479]

Love was disappointing. LeBron, Green, Cedi and even JR battled at the end there. Love needed to protect the boards.

 

[Kiddo]

Can’t believe Larry came all the way across the lane to get a hand on that.

What an effort.

What’s funny is, I like LeBron’s chances of canning that three running out of bounds over him making 3 straight free throws.

Too bad that was the only second Nance could play in the second half.

 

[Dshuks]

The game was a mess from jump but Cedi really ruined it for me in the end. He ain't ready for the moment.

Or maybe he's not ready for playing close to 20 straight minutes.

 

[cavsfever]

I just don't feel like we're the favorite to come out of the East. We have a shot, but we don't feel like the favorite now. Of course I'm saying this right after about as crushing a loss as you can have in the regular season.

 

[InBoobieWeTrust]

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.

If we beat the Knicks twice, Philly has to win all 3 remaining games. They play Dallas and Atlanta which they'll probably win but they play Milwaukee in the final game of the season. If Milwaukee is fighting for seeding that would tie us with Philly...and I believe we have whatever the tiebreaker is.

 

[Tlyons]

Joel must have had a huge game for them to drop 130 on us.

Right?

 

[CommD]

Achilles heel shows up.

 

[Jontibs]

Come back from down 30 to lose like that? That is so depressing. We had so many chances.

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.

 

[CTownDown]

Missing free throws like that sucks but it was the late game rebounding that killed us. Fucking frustrating.

 

[Randolphkeys]

It was a great fucking game. Would have preferred Nance making that tip, but great fucking game.

 

[Stark]

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.

The only thing this game proved to me is the Cavs can and probably will sweep this team in the ECF
