I usually feel like feel lose but we’ll win this one.

J r is unplayable against everyone

Kinda like the Rose IT3 backcourt for a scoring punch despite the defense. With Green LeBron and Korver in the front court.dont like Crowder for Green and Swish for Korver swap though as much

Watching this game its over for it thomas on a max contract from a good team. hope okc play this hard vs golden st in the playoff.
Jr smith finally on the trade block. ty lue is a bad coach . frye/kyle limit playing time because of bad defense. kyle/frye are better 3p shooters than jr smith/jae

LBJ and IT don't like playing with each other.

What makes you say that?
Don't you think it's just that IT3 is playing rusty

As far as Isaiah we don't know what he is yet.
Way too soon to right him off.
Smith struggling with his shot makes him untradable imo

I don't think LBJ thinks this team can survive IT defensively. Whatever the reason, LBJ has been tanking, especially on defense when IT has been on the floor. IT's figured it out.

Makes sense.
Any idea besides bad match up against Adams that Love has only played 3 minutes?
Maybe he's the player we move for a Kemba and MKG combo or similar?

Love's sick.

How sick can he be that can't play but he is sitting on the bench though as opposed to hitting the shower and sleeping it off?

The fact that we gave up 148 points without him playing is good IMO. All those fans who think he's the root of our defensive issues, can revisit that opinion.

yep & we are imploding with trades imminent which impacts incentive for those who don't want to be moved

Really disappointed that OKC didn't score 150. Lue needs to go, and Lebron's effort is awful. Looks like a total rebuild is imminent after this season. No way the Cavs should trade the Nets pick, regardless of where it falls. JR looks done. Definitely the lowest point to date in a season that has had many low points.
Am I the only one here who is tired of Lebron's act? Anyone who is saying he is the Goat should ask themselves if MJ would EVER put forth the kind of efforts Lebron routinely puts out when he isn't happy.

He had expended so much energy on the offensive end which resulted in wins even though he took plays off defensively before the introduction of IT3 who Lebron is by all accounts handing the keys too , and seeing if IT3 has what it takes to lessen Lebrons load offensively so he can go back to playing better defense.I think Love's sudden sickness after 3 min against OKC also was a messege to management that IT3 cannot handle the offensive load.
So far IT3 is taking away shots from Love and Smith & IT3 is missing them. Not much drop off there as it relates to Smith who has struggled all year offensively trying to cover both guard positions due to weak defenders at the point.
Smith's efficiency offensively would return if he didn't have to play so hard defensively, (never be the case with IT3 at the 1)
So if IT3 is staying and we are gonna ride or die with him this season, Smith has to go. But Love is definitely hurt offensively by IT3's presence and greed to be a max player this summer.
I think we should cut our losses and trade IT3 for a better 2-way pg. This won't let Lebron off the hook as he will have to go back to going **** offensively at the expense of taking off plays defensively, but if we can get a player like Noel in here to do a better job defensively than Crowder at the 4 a lot of our problems will fix themselves.
Lebron absolutely is testing IT3 and it looks like IT3 aint ready and is a bad fit next to Smith as well.
