So Wade's out tonight. I'm guessing our back court rotation is going to look a lot like M.A.S.H. this season.
But the good news is we'll probably get to see more Calderon with the second unit so there's a non-zero chance we lose to the Nets while we hold their pick. I can't wait until December 15th. I'm developing a truly irrational dislike for the guy. It's not his fault that he sucks and we signed him in July.

maybe we will get lucky and Lue will bench Calderon for London tonight.

I expect a blowout victory but will take a W regardless of how bad we play when Calderon gets minutes

Agreed.
What’s concerning though is that the Nets are without their two best players (D’Angelo Russel and Jeremy Lin) and yet they’re still giving the Cavs problems.

What really sucks is that the Nets stole our PA announcer.
The way he yells “THREEEEE” after every 3 pointer made is Legendary.

Nets with a double digit lead going into the 4th quarter.

This is totally UNACCEPTABLE.
The Cavaliers need to wake the F up and realize that;
Mark Price is not going to walk through that door.
Brad Daugherty is not going to walk through that door.
Big Z is not going to walk through that door.
Hot Rod Williams is not going to walk through that door.
Larry Nance is not going to walk through that door.
Carlos Boozer is not going to walk through that door.

All the teeth gnashing about Wade and Rose yet its Jr who has been terrible not even shooting 30 percent. Why is he playing over Crowder in crunch time? Kevin Love came up small in the clutch as usual.

Should've been a blow out man, if Lebron just drives every posession and get his automatic and-1 with his off-hand.
JK guys for just for fun

Bron got his numbers. Get back in transition or close out?...nah. Got his numbers though, great game Bron.

That's the problem with him playing all those minutes. He takes too many plays off. On a related note, TT, JR, & even Shump don't appear to be in great shape.

Re: Game 5: Cleveland Cavaliers (3-1) @ Brooklyn Nets (2-2) - 7:30 PM ET
Smith's game right now looks very weak, I initially thought it was from being out of the starting line up, but after last nights performance I would not be the least bit surprised if he gets traded despite being such a clutch shooter when he is hot,as he thus far and really all of last season when he was healthy was more cold than hot on most nights.But moving him causes us to lose another defender,and the potential of him getting hot and so I think they are in a bit of a quandary.
Love also looks pretty bad not knowing wtf position he is going to play on any given night.
Hopefully all of the struggles will soon come to an end,but right now I think we are going to lose a lot of close games in the first half of the year if we last that long before someone hits the panic button and makes a reboot deal.

Can't really sell low on JR. He's worth more to us than other teams too. Aside from a mental lapse here and there his defense has been good and he's attacking the basket, shot just isn't falling.
Love I think just allows change to get in his head. I think he's a creature of habit because he's taken longer than most to get adjusted to change.
