[RedBlackAttack]

No Kyrie. No LeBron.

James Jones is starting an NBA game in 2015.

Cavs up 10-2 early.

[nba_55]

JR!

King James Jones :bowdown:

Great start. Delly & JR playing well early.

[Uncle Drew]

I'd like to see some Love action on the low block now that both Kyrie and LeBron are out, instead of having him clank contested 25 footers.

[SamuraiSWISH]

JR!

Delly for MVP.

[RedBlackAttack]

Is that Matthew Dellavedova or prime Rod Stickland? Hot damn ...

[VengefulAngel]

No need for Lebron when you have JR.

Playing great defense also.

:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[sd3035]

I guess this team is pretty good, even without their first (Kyrie) and third (Leβron) best players

[TylerOO]

JR!

[nba_55]

Love getting good shots, just not finishing them. His confidence is the problem, but I'm sure he will work it up. He is a great player.

[ShawkFactory]

Wack AF

[nba_55]

Shump is the best on-ball defender in the league.

[VengefulAngel]

Shumpert should never ever play PG.

[navy]

Shump is the best on-ball defender in the league.
No.

[nba_55]

No.
who you've got then?

[RedBlackAttack]

I love Shump and his role on this team. But he shouldn't be allowed to dribble. Or pass. Ever.

[navy]

Jr Smith didnt go out last night I see

[VengefulAngel]

I love Shump and his role on this team. But he shouldn't be allowed to dribble. Or pass. Ever.

JR is actually a much better passer, Cav's have a chance if JR initiates the offense.

[RedBlackAttack]

I'm noticing that any time Perk has the ball in his hands for more than three seconds, something bad happens. Just an observation.

[Meticode]

Perkins offensively down low just made me laugh. Literally laugh.

[navy]

I'm noticing that any time Perk has the ball in his hands for more than three seconds, something bad happens. Just an observation.
Perkins with the ball for one second isnt good.

[Meticode]

This is what I'd like to see this game. Love in the post.

Officials are blind. Clearly went off Watson's finger-tips.

[RedBlackAttack]

Next observation ...

These officials aren't very good at officiating properly.

[nba_55]

Beautiful post move by Love :applause: :applause: :applause:

[Meticode]

And that horrible blind call cost the Cavs 3 points.

[RedBlackAttack]

Tell you what ... that elbow was intentional. He swung it with conviction. Should be a flagrant.

[VengefulAngel]

Please.

[RedBlackAttack]

Are we still blaming Love's recent inefficiency on Kyrie? I thought not.

[navy]

I thought we were blaming Lebron....

In any case, it's obvious whom to credit. Ricky Rubio. Cant hit a jumpshot, but man can he set up Love in quarters 1-3.

[D-Wait]

Dat block on Hibbert doe :applause:

True.

[TylerOO]

Good shit!! Devildiva leads team in shots!! WOOH!

[NattyPButter]

Good shit!! Devildiva leads team in shots!! WOOH!
dude must think he's Westbrook with that many attempts. Love needs to step his game up.

[RedBlackAttack]

The Pacers are goading Delly into taking shots. Either he takes them or the offense becomes totally ineffective instead of just partially. Because, they are just barely defending Delly. He has to keep them honest by being a threat to score. Otherwise, they might as well just pull him out of there. This is why the Cavs strongly were pursuing a true backup PG prior to the deadline.

Hopefully he'll get hot in the second half and it forces Indiana to change tactics.

[bisk]

Wait what? 14 FGA's?:roll:

[Meticode]

What am I witnessing?

[Meticode]

:oldlol:

Delly trying to make it the big 4 tonight.

[JT123]

Why has Love taken fewer shots than Delly? :biggums:
Beta gonna beta

You are such a homer. :oldlol:
Delly taking 14 shots in any game is a recipe for disaster, let alone in one half.

[sd3035]

Matthew is not a basketball name

[RedBlackAttack]

Austin Carr:

"You lean, I teach."

Hm.

[RedBlackAttack]

Yes.

Because I think Dellavedova taking 14 shots in a half is a recipe for success? And you gleaned that from the post you quoted?

Interesting. The Pacers have found a major weak spot in the Cavs' roster tonight. The man initiating the offense can't score. They're exploiting that weakness. Not much else to say. If you pass up wide open looks as a player, you are doing as much or more damage than if you take the shots.

Learn the game.

[D-Wait]

Game.

[Lebron23]

Step your game up Mr. Love.

[TylerOO]

And this is why I ****ing hate when LeBron just takes rest days. Two losses to the ****ing Pacers in the last two weeks. ****ing pieces of shit. Two ****ing gimmes and we lost to these scrubs go **** yourself all uf aggots bitches

[TylerOO]

I ****ing pray Baron Davis signs with Cleveland. Dellavedova ****ing sucks my daddy's dick. Piece of shit. He's like that scrub who can't do shit but hustle. Good job diving for loose balls, scrub.

[lilteapot]

Come on, Love. When the two best players on your team are out you're supposed to be aggressive not just camp out and shoot

[D-Wait]

Sighting of the patented Love turnaround jumper, which goes in like 1 time in 10 tries :facepalm

[nba_55]

It's okay, Love! As long as he shows up in the playoffs and he will!

[TylerOO]

Good shit Cavs! Two L's vs Indiana in past two weeks. Popped a molly, Im sweating!

[J Shuttlesworth]

Yikes. That last 3 hurt. Cavs started making a run too

[Budadiiii]

Tough to win without Irving. Game is still close despite him being out.

[J Shuttlesworth]

I guess this team is pretty good, even without their first (Kyrie) and third (Leβron) best players
I can't express just how much is wrong with this statement.

[Kingwillball]

Love is overrated and dely should never play more than 10 minutes a night that is all..

[lilteapot]

Dellavedova is awful

[TylerOO]

Love is overrated and dely should never play more than 10 minutes a night that is all..

Honestly, Delli should not be in the NBA. This kid is awful. Drop the whiteboy and pick up a D-Leauger.

[lilteapot]

what a horrible possession. JR Smith isn't good enough to take over you need to run sets

[TylerOO]

Toronto and Washington both lost tonight!!

OH wait who gives a shit we cant beat INDY!

[RedBlackAttack]

Back in it. Keep fighting, guys.

[J Shuttlesworth]

oh shit bros it's on :eek:

[J Shuttlesworth]

Toronto and Washington both lost tonight!!

OH wait who gives a shit we cant beat INDY!
If Cleveland can pull this out, I think they will be #2 in the east tonight :eek:

[RedBlackAttack]

Played great defense for 20 seconds. Not sure why Shump gave Stuckey that much room out on the perimeter with so little time to get a shot up.

That's probably game.

[Keno]

cavs proving yet again team is garbage without lebron. but they stacked doe. 5th mvp incoming.

[navy]

Lebron has missed 11 games and counting. GTFOH.

[Lebron23]

I hope the Cavs can still win this game.

[D-Wait]

:oldlol: :oldlol: :facepalm :facepalm

[Lebron23]

It looks like the game is over.

[Im Still Ballin]

I hope the Cavs can still win this game.
Are you using a voice recognition to text app or something?

[Lebron23]

Great game by George Hill. Hill with a triple double.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Damn shame. This game was winnable without Kyrie and LeBron. Cavs could be 2nd in the East tonight :rant

[oh the horror]

You forgot Kyrie as well. But keep the BS strong

[Budadiiii]

Leave the frustration for the real fans. You're a LeBron fan only and should be happy they lost without him. Makes him look better, and aligns with your agenda. Even though Kyrie was out too you can now say they are 2-9 without LeBron or whatever it is.

I don't give a shit about saying "cavs are 2-whatever w/o LeBron"

I want the Cavs to win so they have a stronger chance at HCA against the 2nd round team, or the finals opponent if they make it.

And leave the game threads for people who want to talk about the game, not your stupid anti-lebron agenda

You're rooting for an individuals legacy. That is sad AF... find a team and stick with them.

What happens when LeBron retires or declines, you find a new player to dick ride? That's not healthy. You'll be 40 years old rooting for people 10-20 years younger than you. Rooting for their success. You need to find a team and stick with them because it will make you a healthier person. And it is generally respected in society to be a fan of sports team. Nobody respects a stan.

I watch the NBA for the players. I don't live in a city that has an NBA team. Why should I have some loyalty to a GM/front office? I don't give a shit about the businessmen behind it. I care about the players. Why would I root for a city that I don't live in? It doesn't make any sense. And I couldn't give a shit about "gaining respect as a fan"... It's a game I like to watch.

...says the guy that goes around from team to team hating on an individual that cares more about his neighbor's dog than he does a moron hating on him on a message board...

Why haven't I seen you in a Heat thread all season? You literally lived in our threads the past 4 years...

Hating an individual and wanting them to fail is sad AF.

Is Love still hurt?
Not a good game tonight.

A team well below .500 beat the 3rd ranked team in the conference? Yeah I'd say that's a good win. 2nd time in 3 weeks too :|

second night of a road back to back without that team's best two players?

A win is a win, don't get me wrong. But let's not act like this was some shocking victory.


The last pacers cavs game was crazy. I'll never forget that ridiculous 4 point play at the end of the game. Still makes me mad.

Pacers are also missing their best player, as well as their 2nd best player from last year so I'd say we're about even. :D
