Just stopping by to lol @the Cavs. lol

It's gonna suck when we lose to the Hornets inexplicably.

 

[trojanfan12]

Is Cleveland's D fixed yet?

Considering the 26 point lead they blew to lose...Ima say...no.

Wiggy, of course, will disagree and favor us with a 15,000 word post about how there's nothing wrong.

 

[trojanfan12]

I'm a bit disappointed that the Lakers don't have the worst record in the WC.

So are Lakers fans.

 

[Demonjoe93]

You know, what's funny about us is that we actually don't have much of a worse record against teams .500 and above than anyone else in the East. We have just had this horrible habit all season of losing to teams we shouldn't lose to. We're actually tied for third in the East against teams above .500 at 18-18, but we're only 24-20 against teams under .500. There are lottery teams out there with better records against sub-.500 teams than that.

However, we're not gonna be playing a sub-.500 team in the Playoffs. If we hold on to the 5th seed and maintain momentum, we could be an interesting team to watch in the Playoffs, especially if we play Cleveland in the second round.

If the Cavs lose I'll laugh my ass off.

Have you stopped laughing yet?

 

[trojanfan12]

Well Millsap didn't foul Lebron but that 6th foul on Lebron was BS as well. I haven't been watching the game enough to say if they been getting away with calls all game. Just tuned in with 5 to go in the 4th.

Either way. The refs didn't cost them a 26 point 4th quarter lead.

 

[trojanfan12]

They were trying when they had a 26 point lead at the start of the 4th and just gave up?

Maybe they were trying to give up?

 

[trojanfan12]

Safe to say the Heat are getting an angry Cavs team tomorrow night. Tired but angry

Stay within 26 and the Heat should be fine. The Hawks got an angry Cavs team today too. Apparently, the Cavs anger only lasts about 3 quarters.

 

[trojanfan12]

I think this result is bad news for the heat

The result of the last game was supposed to be bad news for the Hawks.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Tim Hardaway Jr's 16-17 mix on Youtube needs to be uploaded a.s.a.p.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

And the Hawks have the best announcers. So much homerism.

 

[trojanfan12]

Anyone seen Wiggy?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I think this result is bad news for the heat

Wonder if James will have regular or Cuban coffee?

Just think if they would have just won one game when James didnt play, or if he would have rested one less game earlier.

This is why you take care of your business when you can, as early as you can.

lol that play by play guy was awful

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

lol that play by play guy was awful

Lol nah. I love him.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Anyone seen Wiggy?

He'll just repost it doesnt matter and that nobody with a brain will pick against the Cavs to win the EC.
Word Warriors is deleted from his vocabulary.

Cavaliers: Visit Miami, where they've lost 12 straight, on Monday.

I guess they're due

Stars are aligning for the Cavs. Lost an embarrassing game in Cleveland where Atl didn't play their starters. Then lost a bad one where they were up 26 going into the 4th on the road. Yeah......I wouldn't be surprised Lebron try to go for the jugular tomorrow.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Either way. The refs didn't cost them a 26 point 4th quarter lead.

If you say so.
Cavs don't agree.


ATLANTA -- After failing to protect a 26-point fourth-quarter lead in their 126-125 overtime loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday, several members of the Cleveland Cavaliers found fault in the officials for contributing to their collapse.

"It wasn't a foul on my sixth foul," said LeBron James, who fouled out with 1:52 remaining in overtime and the Cavs up by three,.....


One member of the Cavs could be heard uttering "f---ing Leroy Richardson" outside the visitor's locker room after the game.


"How much is the fine for talking about the refs?" Irving said when asked about that charge call.

Risk vs reward.
What if he goes for it and the Heat spank them?
