So the Hawks destroy the Cavs by 30 and nobody makes a peep

[doinitbig06]

Dennis Schroder in his first start 10 pts 10 asts in 22 minutes
Shelvin Mack career-high 24 pts

36 team assists

at this point in the juncture of the season i think its safe to say the Atlanta Hawks are a better TEAM than this years Cavs. Thus far.

[Fudge]

No excuses.

Cavs did the same thing to them a month ago...

the lebron james hype is dying, same as his prime. visibly exited both of them. before our eyes.

the average nba fan acknowledges cavs are a mediocre team so expectations aren't too high, and the below-average fan posts as dubeta

[LAZERUSS]

It happens to the best of teams...

Kobe and the Lakers have a bad game, there is a field day on ISH. The Lakers have a horrible roster and people still feel a need to troll Kobe.

Cavs with the most stacked roster in the league lose by 30...who cares.

It is to be expected with Lebron teams.

[Real14]

Something going on. Seriously.

[sportjames23]

Damn, Hawks fans desperate for attention. :facepalm

[pastis]

:applause:


Mathematical analytics can solve this

Love = lottery team

Irving = lottery team

LeBron = top 2 seed

Average those out and you get a 8-10 seed

The fact that the Cavs are doing better than that is a testament to LeBron James and makes strong case for his 5th MVP

[LoneyROY7]

No excuses.

[andremiller07]

Cavs would not be a playoff team in the West so there's no big deal here. Hawks also raped them without Teague lol.

True. LeBron is just a terrible player. Nobody ever expects him to even sniff the playoffs. Good call dubeta.

you could see the hype for lebron dying a ton last year.

once the pacers fell apart everyone saw that the heat had no one to even challenge them out east thus felt no reason to even watch their games.

him making a free agent splash was an attempt to stay relevant in many ways.

Factually false. Can you do anything correctly?

Oh shit, dubeta got banned again. :oldlol:

[bdreason]

Schroeder is sick. Guy plays like a vet; cool and collected.

[Heavincent]

Maybe the Cavs are what they are. I mean, we're like 2 weeks away from the new year and they're still inconsistent and just not a very good defensive team. It's not hard to see why they struggle on defense...no rim protector and the perimeter defense isn't great either.

They'll obviously be a factor in the crappy East, but it's hard to take them seriously against any playoff team from the West.

[stalkerforlife]

Why was dubeta banned? Dude is twisted, but he's kind of funny. I see no harm in his shtick.

Stop banning people.

[ThatCoolKid]

No.

Lol read the article breh. You are wrong. Educate yourself.

I accept your apology in advance.

[FLDFSU]

I wouldn't go that far. More like a 7th seed and first round exit to either the Heat or Bulls.

[bdreason]

Watching some of the highlights from this game, and Kevin Love is a really bad defender. It's not even that he's lacking effort. It's that he doesn't understand basic defensive positioning. Honestly, he plays defense like a pressing guard, and just lets everything go by him... only the Cavs have nobody else protecting the paint. :oldlol:

[Keno]

a random scrub had a career high in a regular season game in the month of december. not a single fux was given.

[StephHamann]

Schroeder>Kyrie

[I<3NBA]

Cavs FGA
Lebron James 16
Kyrie Irving 9
Kevin Love 10
Dion Waiters 18
Varejao 4
Marion 5
Thompson 3
Dellavedova 7
Harris 2
Jones 5
Price 3

there's absolutely no justification for Waiters taking the most shots for the Cavs. He took more shots than Lebron! somebody needs to slap this fool silly and tell him there's 3 better players before him on the Cavs that need to shoot more than him. he is -25 in this game, the worst plus/minus of the Cavs players. this idiot needs to be shipped and the Cavs get a defensive player or the Cavs will have a 1st round exit.

[DukeDelonte13]

WTF did i watch last night.. I shut the game off midway through the third because i couldn't handle it anymore.

it's like the cavs forgot how to play basketball. No boxing out. Not contesting shots. F*cking ridiculous. Cavs weren't doing shit that a 6th grade CYO team is taught to do.

there was a stretch in the 2nd were it seemed like Atlanta hit like eight or nine 3pt shots in a row.

Just an overall infuriating game. This cavs team has 0 heart from its star players. Marion was an abomination last night.

[Doranku]

The Cavs suck. Why would anyone care about a shitty team losing by 30?

[Prometheus]

Kobetards are the most obnoxious, insecure, whiney fanbase in all of sports. Seriously, you guys are bitches.

"Kobe loses and you guys laugh at him, but look! LeBron loses too!"

It's just pathetic.

I've come to realize that I feel the same way about Kobe/Kobetards that I do about Christ/Christians... your idol is great, and I have nothing but respect and admiration for him. But the lot of you are pathetic.

[Optimus Prime]

Cavs wouldn't make the playoffs in the West. Everybody who isn't a hopeless LeBron stan knows this. So, when the Cavs get crushed by a decent team, it's to be expected.

Plus, LeBron just isn't the same without HGH. It will be a pretty steady decline from here on out unless he gets with A-Roid's cousin this summer.

No more pathetic than Lebron stans, or any stan for that matter.

[beastee]

Kevin Love is a really bad defender... only the Cavs have nobody else protecting the paint. :oldlol:

This is why the Bulls should come out of the East. Come playoff time, when the defense tightens, they won't be giving up 105 points a game. But if you think Love and Varejao are gonna stop Gasol, Taj, Noah and Mirotic you are nuts. TT would have to play out of his mind for them to keep the post protected.

[no pun intended]

It's weird how for this season, I keep forgetting that LeBron is in the league lmao.

[MiseryCityTexas]

Alway though Shelvin Mack could have been a solid NBA role player. Dude always had a nice jumper, and was a solid passer off the bench.

[Le Shaqtus]

Keep trying, it'll stick eventually :lol

[edrick]

Cavs won't even make the conf finals, playing the kind of defense they've been playing. They are absolutely awful, defensively. We all know that the playoffs require much better defense than the regular season, not nearly as many easy buckets during the playoffs.

In fairness, quite a few of those shots by Waiters were taken in gargage time.

We kept him out there with the scrubs down the stretch, when down by 20+, and he was playing a bit of ISO ball.

I think he was/is (with coaches blessing) simply trying to get into a rhythm and break out of his funk. I'm okay with him chucking if we're down by 20+ mid-way through the 4th quarter, with just Dion and scrubs out there.

He actually looked pretty decent throughout most of the game. His shot was falling, and he was passing the ball too.
