Orlando at Cleveland 

Post#1 » by TheOUTLAW » Sat Apr 5, 2008 7:22 pm

Cavs have had just a boatload of horrible turnovers leading to easy points for Orlando

Not a good way to play

I'm really starting to hate Varejao, he makes some of the dumbest turovers on offense.

Cavs make a ton of mistakes giving Orlando the lead by 3 to end the quarter.

Cavs end the half on a nice run. They've eliminated the majority of dumb turnovers and are hitting the open men. The defense has tightened up a bit as well. This game does remind me of the last time we played them however. Hopefully they won't go otherworldly from 3 again.

Some of the bad habits came back in the third quarter, but I guess I should be happy that we didn't give back all of the lead by the end of 3. Now we need to withstand the first 3-4 minutes with LeBron on the bench to start the 4th.

Cavs can't even hit the rim in the 4th so far. Things are looking really bad.

Horribly 4th quarter leading to a double digit loss for the Cavs. The only thing that they could do over the last 2 years was close out games and it appears they have lost that ability completely.

Not sure why LeBron even played in this one. Obviously he was hoping him being out there would help the team gel, but what was the point?

Oh and Outty change the thread title man!

We suck.

Rest Lebron until the playoffs, if he is not 100% we have no shot of advancing.

If you'd actually watched the game you'd realize that LeBron was more the cause of the blowout than the solution today. Bad shooting and way too many turnovers. Sure Gibson didn't shoot well, but he didn't take 22 shots either. Maybe he'll get fed up and play better is the only real explanation.

That being said, I think this is LeBron typical swoon, but later in the season. It normally happens just after the all star game.

''It has been frustrating, but we have to figure it out and I'm going to figure it out,'' James said. ''I've always been able to bounce back in situations where I haven't played particularly well. I have a few days to reflect.''

He won't let this team down. I'm %100 sure of that. I was disappointed as hell but now I believe in them. We'll be OK.

Absolutely, but you can't blame everyone else for the loss when in fact it was at least as much LeBrons fault as anyones. He had a bad game and other than that everyone played okay (except Gibsons shooting is still a problem).
