@@@Official Cavs thread 2014-2015@@@

The Cavs have to be the only team I can think of, to be called beyond ass after sweeping a back to back in L.A. Especially after both teams going all out gunning for them..
They weren't convincing wins
They blew a 10 pt lead with 3 mins left in the 4th quarter...
Notice no love in the lineup and the get good production on the defensive end from their front court... Bet if love was playing Blake would have eatin that white boy for breakfast
These niggas are 20-20.. Sorry the heat didn't start this bad when Bron first got there
He's a dumb ass, thinking he is anything other than a specialist.. He can be good, as long as he stays in his lane but there are plenty players in the league making much less who can do the same specialist job he is doing. I really love what he brings to the team, but not at the price he is looking for.
Take away the 6 losses minus LeBron and the slow start with him playing injured, put things in perspective.
So when they start losing again I'm guessing it's gonna be bc lebron was injured. I don't think he was injured he stayed out until he got more help. It's funny how he was balling against bottom feeder teams but when he went up against the better teams he was grabbing his back like he was in pain the whole game. Then you're saying he was hurt like you really know him.
Answer this question. Between melo, durant, lebron, and Kobe Which 1 of these 4 players face the most double teams and which 1 gets check the most by 1 defender?
Thunder are just now get their stars back not too long ago and they still have the same record as the cavs. If they keep adding players to the cavs and they continue to lose what team will lebron and his followers run to next. Ask yourself how come everytime lebron and Durant face each other durant gets doubled and tripled all games and lebron is always 1 on 1. How come everytime kobe tried to check lebron last night Cleveland kept setting up picks to get kobe off of lebron but when any other laker checked him he went 1 on 1? How come everytime lebron checked kobe 1 of his teammates kept coming over to give lebron help? People wanted to see kobe and lebron 1 on 1. Don't worry about durant once he leave okc the league belongs to him.
Ain't nobody gunning for the sorry ass Cavs. ESPN barely cover you niggas.
Terrible come back. OKC was without Durant and Westbrook for over a month and then Reggie Jackson got hurt. And OKC still won more games then the CAVs while being in a tougher division
Cats trying to be slick. Downing the Cavs, but their own yards are in chaos. OKC was playing .500 with both Durant and Westbrook playing. Bosh ain't doing shit in Miami but putting up numbers(that aren't the impressive numbers cats were claiming he'd put up) that sure as shit ain't translating to wins. Reminds me of his Toronto days.
So instead of flaming the Cavs and Love, worry about those train wrecks.

Bosh ain't doing shit? Your a clown
What Kevin Love doing?
Besides wade and Bosh the heat really have no solid role players.. Fact reminds the cavs have way more talent right now than the heat yet u clowns only 3 games ahead of the heat
You niggas are monumentally ass cheeks..
Cue up that Dwade gif yankin it on that overrated cac love
Miami and the Cavs damn near have the same record. We lost 22 games while Cleveland has lost 20. What is sad is that Miami played with out Wade, Bosh and McRoberts for long stretches. And still is only two wins from passing you niggas.
OKC went over a month without Durant and Westbrook and a few weeks without Reggie Jackson and still are within a game of Cleveland in while playing a tougher schedule.
Cleveland is a failure and you know it
Niggas got three max players and the best player in the league but were setting at below .500 three days ago but they ain't ass
What Bosh is doing is translating to wins?
He averages 7 fucking rebounds a game. Barely over 20 points. Thought he was going to post 25 and 12. 
It's only after Lebron signed with the Cavs and pushed for Love that cats started talking that Bosh shit.
Both Love and Bosh aren't putting up numbers or getting their teams wins this year. End of story. Fuck Love, but don't act like Bosh is doing shit in Miami.

If you have excuses, so do we. The Cavs are 1-8 without Lebron. We knew Wade's status going in. Who the fuck expects him to stay healthy? The words 'without' and 'McRoberts' shouldn't be used in the same sentence as a defense against your losing record. No mention of having Deng for all those games, huh? McRoberts?!?!
And as I said, OKC is .500 this year while having Durant and Westbrook on the court. That's a problem.
What Bosh is doing is translating to wins?

22 pts a game and 8 Rebs stop talkin shit
Like I said fact is u niggas have way more talent and barely 2 to 3 games ahead of the Heat
Explain that
Hes not. But he and Bron have same agent. So they are trying to extort a near max deal for the clown. GM Lebron has done a awful job thus far, and i dont see it getting any better.
And once again the team plays better without Love.
Exactly
And those dumb ass niggas gave up Wiggins
We all called that shit that it was dumb for the cavs to give up wiggins for love
But what's funny is clowns like Colin Coheard before the season started talkin bout how love is better than bosh and how he's a perfect fit for Cleveland.. The cavs will be the #1 team in the east
Now the cac faggit don't even want to address it but he was always quick to shit on Miami when Bron was there...

I didn't want the trade either, but the fact is Cavs gave up 121 points last night.
A lot more than the Clipper average per game, and Love still gets blamed. Only on BGOL. Blake goes for 12 over his season average against the Cavs last night, is that Love's fault too?
If Love is in the game last night, cats would be saying Cavs won despite Love getting cooked by Blake. The Clippers center doubled his scoring average(on 7-8 shooting) last night Love's fault too, huh? Board only started being pro-Bosh AFTER the Love chat and Lebron going to Cleveland. Bosh used to get clowned without mercy on here(only Largebills had his back PRIOR to Lebron going to the Cavs).
Shit, if it wasn't for Love taking the heat off Bosh, he'd be catching shit for the Heat being 18-22. And weren't people just talking about Love's record with the Timberwolves last year?
Fuck Bosh and Love. But Bosh had Riley to keep shit in line up there. Love isn't even getting the rock in position.
Told Mask a few posts up the Cavs have turned into a Love topic on this board. He don't even have to play, Cavs can get roasted on D, and he still gets shit.
^^^^^^ if loved played that game last night u niggas was definitely losing that game
He's not in the lineup you win by 4 points lmaooo
Of course love is the main reason HE PLAYS NO DEFENSE GENE
And stop lying bout only bills had Bosh's back prior to Bron leaving.. Get off that clown shit
You acting like what we saying wasn't true from jump street about love. Injury prone no defense playing cac
Don't get mad you got duped into thinking Love was something different that your problem for believing those highlight reels..
Love games weren't televised so all people know is his game stats and highlights..
Bosh been far and away better than love.. Not only that you still got clown sauce ass your PG.. Bron got a lot of work to do

They just play better when Love ain't on the court Gene.
It ain't about defense it's about both sides of the ball and you have to admit they look better when he's sitting.

Nah Gene giddy ass in denial
Love doesn't even get the ball in position on the offensive end. They might start off feeding him to start the 1st, and then that's that. The team refuses to run the blatt's offense. I've been complaining about this all season long.
The entire team is inconsistent on both sides of the ball. Love is just the odd man out in whatever kind of offense coach Bron calls himself running. And we know Lebron is calling the offense because he moved himself to point without consulting Blatt.
The problem is that Lebron has to deal with both Kyrie and Love. He has adapted to Kyrie by moving Kyrie to the 2. He just hasn't got around to adapting to Love because of the Kyrie problem.
How soon we forget a PG who had zero assists and folks wanted traded. That was a huge problem to fix. It's still a work in progress....
Who got duped? What part of me wanting to keep Wiggins don't you understand? We knew Love's defense sucked, but Love is a lot better offensively than he has shown with the Cavs.
And you are correct, Bron does have a lot of work to do. He been working on Kyrie first.
They need to get love the ball in positions were he likes to get it.
Run dude some of his plays
Run dude some of his plays
Love big problem with this team is tempo and speed. I notice the Cavs play much better when they speed up the tempo attacking the rim before the defense can set up.. Love on the other hand is much slower at attacking the rim..
What the Cavs are going to eventually do is try to get all these moving parts working for them, by sorting out personal creating lineups that play well together..
Come on even a turd brain like you knows, everyone marks the date LeBron comes to town.... Every game he plays in feels like a playoff, matter of fact when he was out, you could feel the energy level from both sides plus the crowds drop off big time.
LIke I said all season, the Heat is what the Heat is, they are a very good defensive team with good players but they lack the stamina and that one player to get them to the top... The Cavs on the other hand are a work in progress, they have so many moving parts, new coach, new players, young players who never won and don't know how to win, and difficult players to play with... This along with James injury is the reason why their record is the way it is... But watch them run off big winning streaks especially once they get Shumpert in the mix.. With the Cavs its less about won losses, and putting up numbers and more about finding themselves... If they make it to the playoffs healthy and focussed there isn't a team in the NBA other than a healthy Spurs team, they should fear, not saying they are going to beat every team, all I am saying that home court shouldn't be a biggie vs the Bulls, Wiz, Raptors and the Hawks (once they come back down to earth)..
The NBA is more about timing and if the Cavs can stay healthy and hit their stride in the 2nd half, you may see them take off..
Bulls-Cavaliers Preview
STATS LLC
The Chicago Bulls' gauntlet of an upcoming schedule began with a loss and doesn't look to ease up anytime soon.
That includes a matchup with the resurgent Cleveland Cavaliers.
Chicago tries to avoid its fourth loss in five games Monday night when it faces the Cavaliers at Quicken Loans Arena.
The Bulls (27-15) fell victim to red-hot Atlanta on Saturday, falling 107-99 at home despite 23 points and 10 assists from Derrick Rose.
The road from there only gets more challenging with Chicago's upcoming slate featuring contests against reigning champion San Antonio, 28-win Dallas and NBA-leading Golden State.
A fully functional roster would certainly help matters for the Bulls, who have lost five of seven. Rose has averaged 25.5 points and 8.0 assists over his last four games, but Jimmy Butler has topped the 20-point mark just once since Jan. 7 and Joakim Noah remains sidelined with an ankle injury.
"If I had the answer, I swear I wish I could tell you," Rose told Chicago's official site. "Once again, communication, trusting, and just the effort. It's frustrating, very frustrating. We've got to get it together if we want to go far.
"We definitely got to learn how to get stops. We're going to score enough points to win games, but our defense isn't up to par."
The Bulls ranked in the upper half of the NBA with 98.8 points allowed per game through the season's first 35 contests. In the last seven, however, Chicago has surrendered 103.1 points on a league-worst 49.6 field goal percentage.
Cleveland (21-20) meets Chicago at an opportune time considering the Cavaliers' upward trend. After falling below .500 with a six-game losing streak, they made the most of a two-game stint in Los Angeles, beating the Lakers and Clippers on consecutive nights. The Cavaliers shot better than 46 percent in each win -- something they had not accomplished since Dec. 23.
LeBron James and Kyrie Irving combined for 69 points in Friday's 126-121 win over the Clippers, leading Cleveland to its highest offensive output since Nov. 15.
"Communication between us and the coaches is getting a lot better," Irving said. "Just being out there and the coaches calling plays and me and LeBron seeing something out there and calling plays, and then we just got to go execute."
James has averaged 33.7 points on 52.3 percent shooting and 7.7 rebounds since returning from injury on Jan. 13. He experienced a similar level of success in Cleveland's previous game with the Bulls this season, scoring 36 points in the Cavaliers' 114-108 overtime road win on Oct. 31.
Chicago, however, has given James more trouble than most any other NBA team, defeating the four-time MVP in eight of their last 14 regular season meetings.
"They've put in a system over the years," James said of Chicago. "We have our system in place, but we've added a few new guys. We've had some injuries as well. We're starting to pick it up and guys are starting to get healthy, so I'm looking forward to seeing what we can become."
Kevin Love expects to return for Cleveland after he missed Friday's contest with back spasms. Tristan Thompson filled in nicely for Love, scoring a season-high 24 points on 10 of 12 from the field with 12 rebounds in a rare start for the fourth-year forward.
The Bulls have won seven of eight in Cleveland.
