The Cavs are absolutely rolling tonight

Roll Cavs Roll!!

 

[Bolts]

So Cleveland is down 11 late in the 4th quarter where Hood and Haywood are out tonight. #rolling

Hood played, 28 points.

Hood played all right, he was the guy that couldn't miss.

Rough night for the Cavs shooting and with the whistles. Not the reason they lost though, Utah played well.

Good road trip though and best stretch defensively they've had by far.

Lol, doing my best. I might be more prone to go gloom and doom mode if the rest of the world wasn't taking care of that for me after every single cavs loss

Clearly the Cavs stayed up too late partying in Utah so they were flat for this game. All that white bread and Sprite at the roller skating rink will catch up with you

Good point, after several days of being stuck in boring LA, the SLC night life was likely too tempting to resist.

I'll say it again. The Cavs are rolling

If it was literally any other team this forum would be all over the easy excuse of playing 4 away games in 5 days and losing the last of the back to backs on a poor shooting night.

But it's the Cavs, so let's pretend going 3-1 on a four game road trip is something to make fun of.

We're not making fun of them. We're just laughing at Wiggy for claiming they're rolling lmao.

3-2 in your last 5 games now= you're rolling

3/4 on the road, regardless of opponent, is never bad.
I think they are making fun of the over reactions after the Clippers game.
Cavs or any other team is wining the vast majority of time if you hit 18 3's.
The 'tough' game on the trip, is that next game, and look what happened.
That all being said, I'm expecting James and the Cavs to be in playoff game 7 mode on Saturday.
I'm hoping the Heat are ready to match it cause they should know James won't want an 0-4 in Miami since he left.

It's not like Utah was exactly well rested. It was 3rd game in 4 nights and they actually got back to Utah later than Cleveland because the Cavs/Clippers game was finished before Utah tipped off in Sacramento on Sunday.

And for the record this was not the Cavs 4th road game in 5 nights. They had 2 days off after the B2B against the Kings and Lakers. It was their 3rd game in 5 nights and Utah 3rd in 4 nights

i'd say this is "rolling" the wrong direction, but hey that's just MY opinion...

CLEARLY i'm not the guru Wiggy is. just sayin'...

My bad, you're right. Didn't even realize the Jazz were also on a b2b

To be honest dude you shouldn't get offended. This is all about Wiggy. He's the one who said they were rolling so all the jokes are directed only at him.

 

[gordontrue]

How close are the heat to catching the Celtics? I'm hoping the heat and raptors have to battle 2nd round so we only have to play 1 of them.

I know, not really offended just making a point. I've literally heard the b2b excuses all season long from the warriors to the heat to every other team. Whether or not wiggy had made the rolling comment or not... I doubt that excuse would ever be offered or accepted with the Cavs.

they looked gassed--- i really thought this mightve been a game they sat LeBron- last game on a 4 game road 2nd night of a back to back- but whatever- he is practically the only guy that played decent--- all though- i did fall asleep about midway through the third at like 12:15 or so...



Channing Frye was ejected? lol? how did that happen? he does not seem like that type of guy. Tribe needs to go 13-3 to get to 60 wins- they will do that.

We're hot on their ass. Half game out but that's really 1.5 games due to the Celtics winning the season series

I think they are rolling- i think everyone finally knows their role and they have a rotation for the first time all year that they believe in. The ball is not sticking- its moving around- they just looked tired and didnt shoot well last night. Shit happens. Just watching them you can see they are playing with a renewed confidence and unselfishness that you just didnt see even when they had success in the past.

and mainly- LeBron looks awesome. Lets be honest-- thats by far the most important thing (well- Kyrie playing awesome ball in Feb and March ahs been pretty important too)--- but LeBron looks to be in as good of physical shape as I have seen him in- in a LONG time- including the last year at Miami. That makes me feel the Cavs are practically invincible in the East- and will at the very least send a Finals into a long series no matter who they play.
