lol....this isnt looking good...Liggins and James Jones....cmon Cavs this would be so freaking hilarious if they somehow pulled this off...

 

[WiggyRuss]

this is a joke right? the Cavs basically forfeited to you on your home floor and gifted you a win.

i think it was the right game for Bron and KI to rest.

No reason to push it- they have Miami at home Monday- and have a tough month...plus- it gets Miami closer to that 8 seed!!

And what exactly does that have to do with his tweet?

41st double double for Hassan.

I saw an and 1 when a heat player ran into another heat player and they called a foul on the cavs

now that was comical

Nice work Miami, keep it up.

your right- its a conspiracy against the Heat.

We will

Who said that? I was just posting a tweet as I frequently do.....

[Bolts]

We will

More teams in that 26-30 win range who can win, the better.

ehhh dont worry about it- they have them monday at the Q.....this is what Lue said about it- and hes right- the Cavs have much bigger games and goals ahead. This is small potato's. They have a lot bigger fish to fry. Miami? this is like their super bowl.

What Cleveland is trying to do is make the Finals for a third straight year, and seventh in a row for James.

While James used to buck against scheduled rest, Lue has found him to be more flexible this season.

"He's gotten better," Lue said. "He understands the big picture and what we're trying to accomplish, and the guy's played so many minutes over the course of his career. He went to six straight Finals. He has to take some rest at times and when I talk to (James' trainer) Mike Mancias and our training staff and they see that it's a game where he should take off then that's what I do. So he understands that. As much as he doesn't like it, he has to deal with it."

Entering Saturday, the Cavs are 0-4 on the season when James sits out.

Lue said he will continue to look for rest opportunities for James over the final 21 games of the season.

"He's going to have to take a couple more off before the end of the season comes up," Lue said. "So we just got to see how his body feels, how many minutes he played the game before and if we're on a back-to-back and what makes the most sense to get the most rest. So tonight was one of those games."

If the Heat roster is as bad as Wiggy claim it is, Cavs should win easily by double digits. Shouldn't be competitive at all since we have a shitty roster

Well you do have a pretty shitty roster, outside whitside.

We should easily win a back to back on the road without 4 of 5 players? We just blew out Atlanta a better team than miami on the road, but we would have lost that game as well.

I don't think you have anything to worry about with Miami. You guys will no question finish in a better draft position than the Heat.

Another stupid comment from you.

Kings definitely will, it's the 76ers and Pelicans that also need to be behind the Heat. I don't think any of those 3 teams will catch Miami, but the more separation they get the better.

Picking up on sarcasm isn't your thing I see? Cool

Where did you blow out Atlanta? Were you watching a different game?

Pelicans is the only team I would be slightly be concerned about. Philly is in full tank mode with Embiid done.

I turned it off and it was a blowout, did they let them back into the game? Must have taken the foot off the gas
