It's just the media narrative that irritates me. Lebron is the GOAT, was this game really needed as another piece of validation?

Also, flip the script. Cavs are 12 games ahead of the Raps, who are fighting to have home court in the playoffs. Raps come out with a huge win a Cleveland... US media "the cavs didn't need this game, the game didn't mean anything for them". No acknowdlegement that the Raps have played 10 games in how many nights, etc. It's almost like getting up by 15 in the first half was a bad thing.

One thing I saw last night is that the Raps can hang with the best of the best. They've played GS tough twice, beat the Cavs, Celtics, Rockets, etc. If they eventually do lose to the Cavs, youre losing to literally the best player ever, and I just don't get how that can be hated on.

no one wants to give us credit. it might be better this way for the team. playing with an edge

Losing to Cavs last night is like whatever, the Real test is next Saturday then following Tuesday and Wednesday are the 3 we must win

Same. I have D Rose 7s, Lillard 2s, UA Heat Seekers and 2016 Hyperdunk low

4 pairs of shoes is enough for someone who only plays indoor ball like once a week

No but you don’t get it, a bunch of their scrubs and Nance didn’t play! If they played they would have shot better than Hill and Calderon!

That's why I hate when people use players not playing in that way.

For all we know if Korver/Hood played, they would have taken away half of Jose/Hill's shots and exchanged them for bricks. Hell, having no Tristan Thompson was probably a blessing in disguise for them. If they used him all it would have done is give us a reason to play JV (who was 6/6) more.

If Ibaka didn't play like he did last time against the Cavs we probably would have won too.

CJ either would have made the game more in the Cavs favor or give us just enough to beat them, no in-between imo.

Ahwell. Weird how I don't feel that bad about this loss. All things considered we did pretty well considering the schedule, Cavs are also a good home team and we always suck at the Q.
