Kyrie let us down tonight...

[KiiiiNG]

I understand he's coming off an injury... but 4-15 isn't gonna cut it

And Kevin Love.. 5-16... man.

LeBron did all he could. Sucks, as a fan, it sucks watching the best player lose because his teammates don't show up. That's always frustrating.

Pau Gasol is the Xmas MVP so far, you guys agree? Big time win on the road against OKC

Bosh was great too, but Gasol had more impact throughout the game.

[BigNBAfan]

Usual cavs fan, discredit all defense played

[LoneyROY7]

I think it's pretty obvious Rose is the Christmas Day MVP thus far.

His impact isn't calculable through your fantasy basketball statistics.

[RRR3]

LeBron normally would make 7 FTs if he got 9 attemtps. He made 4, including 3 big misses. Got to accept the blame today, man. While his shot has been awful, he's actually been shooting FTs extremely well lately, so this was a choke IMO. Hopefully he fixes his shot

Kyrie gets a pass

It shouldn't come down to LeBron having to make FT's down 4 just so they have a chance

Choke? Yeah,incredible dunks and blocks to get them in the game is a choke. His teammates were trash today, I refuse to accept the notion that LeBron is to blame for tonights loss.

A combined 9-31 between Irving and Love. That's a Kobe statline, you don't see how it's impossible to win with that?

And I've been vouching for these guys for MONTHS. Ever since the Finals, where I felt like they woulda made the difference. Honestly? They might not be good enough.

I'll wait to see Irving get completely healthy, but ATM the Warriors look to be the prohibitive favorite.

Statistically Davis and Durant were the best...

If you wanna play it that way. His impact is very calculable: it sucks, and anyone with a brain knows he's God awful. I don't need stats to show me Rose can't shoot, pass, or make smart decisions. But it's always reassuring to see that he's terribly statistically also

[DaOldLion]

Bosh is clearly the Christmas MvP so far

[raprap]

Kyrie will pick it up, Love? No chance. He doesn't show up in games like this. If lebron wins a chip for him, he's top 3 goat.

Pau, Bosh, Green...

Power Forwards in the hizouse!

Carrying dudes left and right. That's an impactful position. Good PF's are a scolding hot commodity.

[Gus Hemmingway]

Dont let Mozgov slip under your radar bro, That guy has had EASY opportunities to make hand fed plays right under the rim. BOINK WOOPS ball slips out his butter fingers, whip lashing off rim, swatted by anybody over 6 foot.

Timothy has been an absolute travesty, while he's not sole to blame, this guy has been a big let down this year.

Shots weren't falling tonight, WIDE OPEN shots weren't falling, 2-20 from three at one point, easy dimes. It seems Love never likes to show up in big games and that's why his ass needs to be benched when they go small. His defense on the pick n roll is atrocious

[MMKM]

His dad cleared him to play too early. Should have held off.

hes a lebron fan, not a cavs fan

kyrie's defense was pretty lazy today anyways

[Gus Hemmingway]

From 3: Shump 0-3, Love 0-5, Kyrie 0-6, Delly 0-3.


Who's going to step up?:confusedshrug:

[dubeta]

Agreed, horrible performance

[LBJMVP]

From 3: Shump 0-3, Love 0-5, Kyrie 0-6, Delly 0-3.


Who's going to step up?:confusedshrug:


the shots were there too. no one could hit anything.

as for the thread title? it's kyries 3rd game back...
also lebron missed 3 huge free throws and a wide open layup in the end.

tonight was the first time kyrie showed flashes of his old self.

I am glad i got to see him play twice in cleveland for christmas before i permanently move to Atlanta though.

(no way in hell i will ever considering even cheering for the hawks though.)

I remember the thread where many people were saying PF is the second weakest position in the NBA after C.

PG and PF are the most stacked.

Love was one of the few bright spots in last night's game. Why not talk about how bad JR Smith, Tristian Thompson, Iman Shumpert, and Mo Williams were last night instead?
