I can blame 85% of that game on the officials. You were the one who said we couldn't compete with the Spurs. We had that game and all of a sudden we get like six calls in a row against us in the fourth quarter? Come on man. Blatt should have picked up a technical or two (security would have been walking me out of the building). He gets 5%. Kyrie couldn't hit an outside shot and couldn't guard Parker. He's responsible for the other 10%. It didn't matter who we had behind him (TT, Love or Mozgov). Kyrie has to learn that he can't finish a game where Parker goes off for 24 points and Kyrie only picks up one foul in garbage time. Dude has six fouls and plays 30 minutes. Use some of them.
Dude im just tired of hearing the excuses. We **** lost because we have a coach that doesn't know what he is doing, its not the refs fault. Not only that but Kyrie had a subpar game and Love is a disappearing act like usual.
Mozgov have regressed from last season and Blatt can never put the right combinations of players on the floor together. I don't know how you can realistically come out of this game with your mind changed that the Cavs can beat the spurs 4 times out of 7, I sure as hell don't think that.
Blatt hasn't been great, but Kyrie and LeBron are doing him no favors when they revert to that ISO ball crap. We were winning handily in the first half because we kept the ball moving. Then Kyrie and LeBron got lazy, stopped looking for Love in the post, and overall made poor decisions on the offensive end.
Also, Kyrie's defense was atrocious tonight. He needs to get that up to at least mediocre level, or else we have no shot at beating anyone in the Finals.
Yeah he's in danger of not starting. He's got to learn to foul a little without getting called for it. He's got to learn to flop a little on some of those moving screens. He's never going to be a rock star on defense but he can at least fake it like those Western Conference guards.
