This is nothing to get mad about. Notice he's the only one on the Cavs bench who was even bothered by that right? I wonder why

It was pretty obvious JR started it. I doubt you watch the game because the cavs fans on here only watch the games when Kyrie and/or Lebron are playing.

For whatever reason, JR decided to start talking shit after the McGruder dunk

I'm not sure any of them have ever seen an actual game. You sure as hell couldn't tell from their posts.

It doesn't remain a wash in the playoffs, they are going to have to start being able to stop teams. Also as I said, Bogut is a rim protector. which is good, but it won't make a difference if they don't improve their perimeter defense.

Cavs play harder in the playoffs, we were actually #1 in offense and defense ratings in the playoffs last year, its no surprise that we won

The Cavs played good defense all last season, they aren't this season and there's no guarantee they are going to be able to just dial it back up to the necessary level when the playoffs start.

And yet their records are identical, and that is without love and smith for most of it

Currently 21st in DEF EFF. They were 10th last season.

Currently 3rd in OFF EFF. They were 4th last year.

Based on those #'s, offense has been basically the same. Huge drop off in defense

I doubt he cares about losing to a lottery team

Not even close.
Just a guy whose worked his ass off to make an NBA roster playing hard, regardless of score, like he should.

Then why we're all the players on the bench jumping up and down like little school girls in the 1st qtr when they were winning?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Yep, because on most nights they can outscore teams.
Doesn't change the fact that their D is horrendous and that's never a good recipe when you get deep into the playoffs.

Because it was funny that a team second strings and players who don't even play were in the game in the 1st quarter vs your starters on a back to back

When our starters played last time we beat you by 30

if there is one thing the Lakers organization seems to be good at - Tanking sure seems to be it!!! congrats!

And if there's one thing a Cavs fan knows about basketball, it's losing, so touche I suppose. Turnover happens in the NBA, father time is undefeated, and no star/title team is immune. Lakers are down, but as a long standing fan, it doesn't bother me because I know that these things go in cycles
