How many touch off the ball fouls have the Cavs gotten today? A billion sound right to everyone?

I'm happy with how they played. Very close game. The Rockets actually played really good defense for most of the game but the Cavs shot 50% from three anyways. It happens

I like how we played as well. People still hating on harden though.

We need to find a way to keep scores closer with harden out. Bev back will help hopefully having Gordon run the second unit more often and still closing with harden

Rockets played a very good game up until the middle of the 4th. Not happy with the lose but happy with how played against a more talented squad.

Hmm? What are they hating on exactly? The entire starting lineup (besides ryno) played good defense including him. He had 41 points on just 20 shots. He had 15 assists and only 1 turnover. Not much to hate on

It was just a few guys still talking about harden fishing for calls and all that. Although he still does it, I feel like he's going for the foul calls less and less and trying harder to finish

Well there's nothing wrong with drawing fouls, It's a good thing. I stopped caring about dumb opinions like those

Rockets outscored the Cavs by 10 points for the 38 minutes Harden was on the floor

They were outscored by 18 in the team minutes he was off. That's impressively bad by the bench

I didn't get to watch the game. I'm not to upset about losing to the champs in the road, but how consented should we be about the bench?

You do what you have to do in order to beat LeBron, but I don't want to see regular 40 minute games from Harden.

The mods are a combine 0-2 for game threads.

Using the scientific method that I just made up, I am concluding that non-mods creating game threads is crucial to the team success this year. If you don't believe me I'll put on my lab coat and say it again.

Can we please hold a team(with their best player available) under 110 points... please.

Rebounding killed us. We knew this would be an issue when our best rebounder in Patrick Beverley had to take his annual injury sabbatical early this year but in times like this would it really hurt to see Harrell get some burn?

With the pace of the game thats not very likely, the more posessions you play the more points you score. This game was played at a high pace and i though the defense was actually pretty solid and good for the last 8 minutes, the Cavs just hit tough shots, as good teams do
