Dash Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 They're missing quite a few guys from the last season.. not just LeBron. West, Z and Shaq are the only other players missing from last year's squad. I really doubt they would have much of a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Different plays and a different coach should also be accounted for the Cavs' misery at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Here comes the Lebron love fest. You guys do realize that even several of Cavs key players did not play. Andy V is out, and hes a huge part of their team. And a few other guys were out as well. Meanwhile Lakers have been clicking as of late. Yes Lebron carried them but he had a solid supporting cast too. The Cavs were playing well earlier in the season, even beat Boston and looked like a legit 8th seed.

kingfish Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) precisely why we need the facepalm smiley. :nod:If you dont think he had solid shooters and defensive minded players around him you need a facepalm. Werent like 3 of his teammates top 5 in 3 point % last year. Yes Lebron got them open looks, but you still gotta make them. Kobe gets his teammates open looks ALL the time, not one teammate shoots over 40 % from 3. Dude did NOT win 60+ games by himself.

I mean, we're seeing that right now. no LeBron - worst record in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted January 12, 2011 Author Owner Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 LeBron, Wade, Durant, Kobe, and other superstars could've had the same success. Come on, guys...you can't expect the Cavaliers to do anything when they don't have a facilitator. The team was built for him, shooters around the facilitating, penetrating scorer. Deserving of his MVP, but not deserving of all the credit he's getting because he didn't average 95-100 PPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 112-57....WTF?!?! The Cavs shot below 30% from the field, 8% from 3 and 63% from the line....that's unbelievable in a very, very sad way. Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Wow and to think the Cavs weren't that bad. No way a team should lose by this much. I didn't watch the game but from the looks of it, looks like they didn't give it their all and knew they were doomed before the game even started. I think some of the blame goes to Byronn Scott. At one point you've got to get your players playing at a point where they don't get humiliated. Also the thing about LeBron leading the Cavs to the best record in the league, he made the team look better because he complimented them perfectly. The way he attacked the basket created opportunities for the role players to have less attention directed towards them which led to open shots.

GamerGuy Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I did a legit double-take when I saw the box score when I got home. Are you kidding me? I'm very tempted to stay up and watch the replay of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Besides Varejao, Parker, and Leon Powe, name me one person on that roster who competes. Find me a tough guy. Someone who plays with guts and moxie and creativity. Gutless teams throw in the towel when they're in over their heads. The way this season has gone, the Cavs should be embarrassed and this roster should be disintegrated as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicbalala245 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Well at least Mo Williams got something right This [expletive] is embarrassing. I feel like I can't even show my face in Cleve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheHutch Posted January 12, 2011 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Like Erick said, this team doesn't compete. They have no heart. They just plain out don't give a [expletive]. If any player was traded or dropped from this team tomorrow I wouldn't give a [expletive]. I don't care if we have a team of no-name players who couldn't even make a college squad as long as they COMPETE. Play with some HEART and PASSION. Quit going through the damn motions and play the game. Tired of watching this team getting [expletive]ing destroyed every night. I'm done watching this team until some MAJOR roster changes are made, which should have started after the embarrassment against the Heat. And of course LeBron's [expletive][expletive] has something to say. Saying God watches everything. Yeah and he watches your cocky [expletive] every damn day, walk all over people and act like you are some sort of God yourself, karma will come back to bite you too one day, just wait. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
