Considering the roster LeBron drug to the Finals last season, this team would waltz through the East if Kyrie and Shump never played a minute. I doubt they could beat the champ out of the West, but they'd definitely give them a series.
Hopefully they never wear these piece of shit uniforms again. Lebron hates them. https://vine.co/v/eLMwhb0tBig
#1 point differential in the East right now Currently #3 in the NBA, could be #2 if Utah loses tonight by a decent amount
Couldn't be happier about the way we've started the season. I'd be happy if we were completely healthy and were playing like this.
Like we've said, the bench is night and day compared to last year. Never would have expected it to pull us through a game where LeBron and Love both didn't play well until the 4th quarter.
Warriors look like they are playing these games a week after the end of the finals, it's crazy. Think we're the best two teams in the NBA by a good margin.
Solid come from behind win tonight. Team is still finding its rhythm, but winning games. Thank god the schedule has been Charmin soft so far.
utah's pretty good. think they could grab the 8 seed in the west, which of course is like the 3 or 4 seed in the east. doubt we really see this team look top tier until kyrie comes back. unless they play memphis again first.
I agree, and, as I've said ITT, I actually believe this current roster makes it to the Finals out of the East with relative ease. But they're not beating the Western Champ without Kyrie and Shump, which certainly isn't a controversial opinion.
Love's 3 pt shot looked a tad bit cleaner tonight he was line driving some balls, which he does already, but to an even worse degree the first few games
that looked like last year when they played without kyrie. tons of iso. ugly basketball. fortunately the knicks are horrid. really looking forward to kyrie returning
Knicks are considerable better than last year. I wouldn't be shocked to see them sneak into the playoffs.
kinda surprised how uninspired and flat they looked coming off 2 days rest at least they won. need to stop waiting to the 4th to turn it on though, need 23 to get some 4th qtrs in November/December off so he is fresher when games actually matter
probably getting bored playing these shit teams every night. we're nine games into the season and we've already had to play the 76ers and knicks twice each. that's pretty brutal
Awesome that we gave Tristan all that money. Guy is too much of an offensive liability to play in crunch time
Not upset at all with this loss. Bucks are a good team, and the Cavs had to travel after playing @NY last night.
Love got zero touches for him to shoot late when he was stroking it. Lebron needs to realize iso to off balance J is awful late game basketball.
Refs are just killing this game in the 4th. At least the ball movement is better late than the Pistons game Tuesday.
Went to the game last night. Had some killer tickets from one of our vendors through work. Spoiler: Seats Spoiler: LeBron Spoiler: FAMOUS Spoiler: Best Part of the game This pic while nice, doesn't really do her justice. Ok it really doesn't do her tits justice. The slit in her top went to her navel. I'd guesstimate it at 45% boob reveal.
only complaint is elfrid payton taking a huge shit on my draft kings team jr and love were both terrific tonight. this was a quintessential lebron game. totally controlled the offense without having to score. the warriors are deservedly getting all the attention right now, but i'm not sure we aren't firmly #2 currently. +7.2 in scoring margin heading into tonight and that's affected by a thin bench allowing teams to cut into leads in garbage time. The one area where we're really lagging is steals. we're dead last but that figures to improve significantly with Shumpert and Kyrie back
this non ball dominant version of Lebron from the last two games could play until he's 40, it's kind of a glimpse of where he'll be at like 35
LeBron is averaging a little or 2k points per season for his first 12 years. How long does that continue in your mind and how precipitous is his decline in point production? If he does it the next 2 seasons he's top 6 all time scoring. 1 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 38,387 2 Karl Malone 36,928 3 KOBE BRYANT 32,645 4 Michael Jordan 32,292 5 Wilt Chamberlain 31,419 6 Shaquille O'Neal 28,596 That's a huge gap between Shaq and Wilt. I just can't see him getting to top 3.
Lebron's efficiency is actually up this season. he's not at the obscene levels of hyper efficiency he achieved in Miami, but he's shooting around 52%, which would exceed his previous career best in cleveland
LeBron also joined Oscar Robertson tonight as the only two players in NBA history to be in the Top 25 in both points and assists.
Wasted a huge fourth quarter from LBJ tonight. Pelicans aren't as bad as their record, but we should have never let them off the ropes late Q4. Love and JR pulling a huge second half no-show. Not a huge deal, but hate losing winnable games given our schedule gets harder.
Shumpert looking good coming back from injury. Can't wait until Kyrie is back on the floor. Warriors are unreal so far this season, but I really think a healthy Cavs squad would give them one hell of a series.
