Regular season games don't really matter

Sometimes you just have to take your lumps in a beatdown

Any shot that Wiggy finishes studying if Cavs don't win the 2nd half by 27+?

Took the Warriors and over 208.5.

The Warriors might hit the over by themselves.

Sometimes they do matter. When a team who you may face in the playoffs completely owns you, it would be nice to win a game just to get rid of that mental edge

In the grand scheme of things, yes, but Cavs have had this one circled since the schedule was released.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the locker room right now.

Kyrie said it's a statement game.

This. The Cavs just aren't that good this season. There hasn't been a SINGLE game yet where the entire team was playing well together. The offense is the most streaky in the league, and they don't know how to run plays. Looks like they play hero ball around 70% of the time. Fucking ridiculous. Have to hope the defense can play lights out, or this team might not even make it out of the East.

Kyrie said it's a statement game.

Maybe his statement is trying to stay healthy until it ends?

JR competing hard.
Rest of Cavs in shock.

JR and LeBron have been the best players all year long. Love has sucked, and Kyrie has been inconsistent since coming back. Same team, different year. Somebody else has to step up or the same shit will happen.

Holy crap. Warriors using the Q as a woodshed.

 

[bksballer89]

Cavs only chance is if they're able to cut this lead down to 13 or so heading to the 4th.

 

[gordontrue]

I just want to see the cavs come out and battle on defense.

You're asking for a lot. This is a poor defensive starting lineup. I kind of feel like Shump need to start vs the Warriors

Rumors are that the Cavs are butthurt about Steph champagne comment. Kyrie said it is a statement game and GSW is struggling (by their standards) as they only won 13 of their last 17. All signs point to a Cavs win.

Cavs 98
Warriors 94

Were those signs in English?

Joking aside, game not exactly over, with the Cavs at home. If they go on a run the crowd gets into it, etc. Ws won't shoot that percentage all game. If they were in Oakland yeah it's over.

 

[bksballer89]

Typical JR Smith nonsense

 

[bksballer89]

Wow that's a flagrant 2? WTF

 

[Jakology]

What a horseshit call. No chance now without JR's shooting.

 

[bksballer89]

I wouldn't even call it a flagrant. Just a stupid foul IMO

 

[gordontrue]

Running through a screen is now a flagrant 2. What a joke

The Cavs aren't playing defense? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
