The Pacers beat the Spurs despite missing 4 starters? :krs:
to be fair the spurs are better than the cavs though

shyt like this all the time happens in the NBA..

Teams have a hard time bringing their all going into a game when they know the other team is at a disadvantage :yeshrug: ..


I remember when the Spurs sat four started vs the Heat in 2013.. and the Heat won by a very small margin..:yeshrug:And still went on to win the championship later that year:lolbron:

This really isn't newsworthy.. But I see you jacking ESPN headlines tryna make a struggle thread out of it :umad:

Cavs offense doesn't move without the ball... nikkas just play iso every 24 second clock
they were actually trying to move the ball, which led them to making sloppy ass passes and a bunch of turnovers

They're just not use to moving the ball this much.


I don't think they're a bad team but I don't think they're the pick of the East like everyone claims. They can easily be beaten.

Eh....dog days of the season...

GS was out partying and got blown out by the lakers...

Saturday Pop said fukk this home winning streak and sit 3 starters and still won...pretty much guaranteed to lose the next game when you do some shyt like that...

Cleveland players know no matter what goes on in the regular season or who the coach is...they about a month away from watching iso bron in the playoffs...

You would have a point if they were playing this way around this time last season. They were killing teams.

I just don't think they're as good as people think they are.

They were. Because it was their first time playing together so they had to find out if they could. They found out they could get to the finals...

No point in doing it again.

Are they the best team in the east? Pretty clearly. Are they good enough to beat SA or GS 4 out of 7 times. Nope. They don't have the personal and Lue doesn't have the coaching chops yet...

That's the thing tho. I don't think they are clearly the best team in the East. I think they have the most talent but it's obvious that talent isn't meshing right now.
