And the refs. And Kyrie doesn't look too interested yet. I guess he's waiting til the last five mins or something.

Why are we so much worse at home? I'd rather take a home win than beating Denver on the road in a completely meaning less game.

No energy whatsoever at home but playing hard on the road. And some of our turn overs are just terrible. Ah well, shouldn't have any expectations watching a Cavs game at this moment.

Not a good game for Kyrie. He's been off on his jumper. And when he gets to the lane, Dalembert is there to alter his shot.

It's really unusual how we are much better on away games. Really thought it would be the complete opposite. How we beat the Thunder on the road is well beyond me.

It's always felt like we are more competitive on the road. Thunder, Boston, Heat game, Denver, ORlando, Suns, LA all of those have been competitive but when we come home we're just flat at times unless we play Charlotte or the Nets. It's strange to me, not that we're inconsistent but stronger on the road.

We can't shoot FT's for ****. Won't surprise me if the Cavs end up as the worst FT shooting team this season.

This is such an up and down game. The Cavs are on an 11-0 run.

Great to see Kyrie coming alive when it matters. That last move was just awesome.

Nice. Kyrie ended up with 21 points on 10-10 FT shooting. Also has 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

It is flat out remarkable how no matter how Kyrie is playing to that point he is money in the 4th.

Pretty remarkable that we've defeated Denver, OKC and Houston all in a row.

If we stand pat at the deadline we'll probably make the playoffs, I'm not sure how I feel about this
