Cavs continue to play awful defensively and with no energy.

Lebron plays 40 minutes in a losing effort against possibly the worst team in the NBA.

Then Lue finally subs in Osman for the final 1 minute and 45 seconds remaining in the game (garbage time).

Lue’s master plan is in full effect. :banghead:

Also Tristan Thompson played 19 minutes, his beastly stats are 0 rebounds, 0, assists, and 1 point.

That’s the last thing this team needs is for TT to continue to regress.

One of the biggest problem in the NBA is *energy guys* who get their contract and stop bringing it. I'm beginning to wonder if this team has too many players who have played too many games into June for too many years.

I can't believe people think this has anything to do with what's going on.

We need to stop suggesting LeBron "plays" 40 minutes. LeBron remains on the court for 40 minutes, but he only plays about 25. That is part of the reason we're struggling, Lue won't strap on a pair and get him out of there. If mediocre teams are consistently dropping 35 points on you in the first, then you need to sit guys that aren't playing defense - even if they're named LeBron.

Clearly TT has no interest in putting in effort either, so i'd give Zizic and Cedi some run early. Not suggesting they're good enough, but hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.
