Cavs Just Lost To The Knicks

[Professor Emeritus]

The Cavs are woefully undersized. When NY went big with KP and Kanter the Cavs had no answer.

The Cavs roster is built to try to outscore the Warriors in June. They added as much firepower as they could to be able to go war on offense. They figure nobody in the East is good enough defensively to stop them or good enough offensively to keep up with them. That's probably true...but they will get destroyed again in the Finals.

They're not actually "built" to do anything this year. They weren't even close to good enough to beat the Warriors last year, then they traded away their 2nd-best player for a draft pick, a backup, and a little guy in a suit.

The assets they got for Kyrie were enough that they COULD compete if they wanted to. As long as they hold onto assets that aren't helping them win a title this year, the front office is proving that they don't actually care to win right now.

Congrats on beating a team without a Point Guard...in the 7th game of the season...

Meanwhile coli posters are losing to these servers.

Took me forever to get on to celebrate

 

[GoldenGlove]

I said the exact same words as the title when I watched the end of the game. Like damn. These nikkas really lost to the Knicks.

Bulls were giving them that work too, but Fred rolled with the guarantee tank lineup in the 4th to ensure that L.

New LeThot threads coming tomo

How could you not expect this? The cavs lost their #2 and just added random flabby and sick players. Clearly their owner is thinking about the future. Waiting on IT i understand but they need
A center

 

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

Congrats on beating a team without a Point Guard...in the 7th game of the season...

I know Lebron superteams usually don't take the regular season seriously, but like I said in the other thread, Cavs aren't making the Finals. If they meet a team like Philly who could end up putting everything together heading in the first round of playoff they are losing.

Man....

People think it's a joke now but it's true. It may not even be Philly, but these younger teams have no fear of a this old Cavs team and half the team is injury prone (Rose, Wade, Love, JR, who know's what's going on with IT). Rose, Wade and Jeff Green are a huge part of the rotation and don't fit. They're a 2nd round exit waiting to happen, a la the 2006 Miami Heat or the 2011 Lakers. There's always surprise teams that emerge and one of them will catch the Cavs off guard.

It's time for TT and JR Smith to go.They're not pulling their weight....The cavs need more size in the paint....I'd like to see Zizic,or whatever his name is,get some playing time.Cleveland with be fine.But they are very vulnerable against teams with a big/talented frontlines(Toronto,NO,NY,Orlando,76ers)

I'd also wish people would stop it with the "Lebron needs more help narrative".....Every team in the league is trying to make upgrades to compete against the warriors.Just how GS made upgrades after they lost to cleveland in the finals.

 

[Mars]

These hot take threads will be irrelevant once cleveland makes it back to the finals in 2018.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

He was a scapegoat.

 

[cobra]

[Sccit]

LEBRON AINT NEVER BEEN SHIIT WITOUT AN ALPHA TO LEAD THE WAY
