Just because they are winning does not mean they are being flawless.

Who in the NBA is flawless?! Perfection is an unreasonable goal under any circumstance. Especially when considering that we haven't been 100% for one game (preseason included). Professional sports is about winning no matter the circumstance. Are guys are getting the job done after a horrible 0-2 start. However instead of hearing applause for the quick turnaround despite the obstacles we've faced already, I've only heard moans.

I think you are interpreting these as moans rather than them actually being negative. Fact is, the Cavs need to bring intensity for 48 minutes a game and they need to rebound better. If anything, I'd say that's constructive criticsm. I'm glad we've won the last 2 games, but I think they'd have isssues against better teams playing the same way.

I only comment on what I see and the majority of the posts are flat out negative. I'm not going to assume that someone is 'constructively criticizing' the team if all I see, for example is, "I'm already marking the next game as a loss".

Intensity? Rebounding? I'll give you those even though we are missing two key players from our frontcourt. Given that fact, wins against ANY team (not just the 'better ones) are going to be difficult. Honestly, the Warriors shot the ball so well that I'm surprised we played at their pace and beat them. It means more to me to see the team stay resilient and win than to see them blow teams out. The guys played their hearts out last night. No one took a day off. Well, no one besides MB who sat LBJ way too long in the 4th.

The Warriors have always played us well. It took a LeBron buzzer beater last year just to quiet all the, "we deserve to lose" complaints from his own fans....

Cavs played terrible against 2 terrible teams in the last games and any "healthy" basketball fan could see that. We could've easily lost these games and I would like to see what would be your reaction to it.

Cavs didn't played good basketball in the last 2 games and the main reason was their lackadaisical approach to the games. If you can't see that you're possibly blinded with homerism.

Lakers lost to the Rockets, Celtics to the Pacers, etc, etc..

This is the NBA, Like the other poster said, any team can beat another on any given night... at least we didnt lost despite all the injuries....

But to each his own.... Chicken Little!!! LOL...

personally i think you're overreacting. obviously the cavs effort wasn't up to par the last two games but sustaining consistent effort over 82 games is impossible. we got the two victories and that's all that matters
