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

You right, yall did. It's all good though, I respect all of what you guys say, I learn a lot from yall. My point was, yall come real hard at people sometimes, and all we want to do is discuss shit and learn...

You said Love would struggle, and we didn't listen... Respect for that Dude, you call it!

Love is still managing 17 and 10. It's not really Love's fault. He isn't being used properly. He has the same PER as Bosh had with the Heat.

Fuck that. I'll defend Love just like Bills defended Bosh when everyone clowned Bosh. Heat won a series without Bosh. Cavs can do the same without Love. The parallels are crazy.

And before we talk about Love in the 4th, Blatt has been sitting Mozgov in the 4th too. People have yet to come up with an explanation for that.

Locally, sports talk has been buzzing about Blatt's rotation choices.

I told you already love not playing in the 4th qt is no bueno

You looking at bosh numbers but guess what he was in the game in the 4th and every crucial moment to the tune of 2 championships and 4 finals.. He was important for every last one

Blatt is straight up freezing love out in the 4th that shit is unacceptable

And comparing love to mozgov is some dumb shit...

It's not dumb shit when people were in this very thread questioning why Mozgov wasn't playing in the 4th in previous games. People are also questioning Love not playing. Comparison is valid.

All I know is Bosh's numbers dropped during all your championship runs and a series was won without him. Could that championship been won without him? Probably.

And cats keep forgetting Miami didn't revamp the entire team during the first year like the Cavs have. Some of you cats act like Love woke you out of a deep sleep with a bitch slap. Why the venom?

If anyone should be pissed, it should be me. My team should still have Wiggins and the makings of a dynasty that could last until I'm 50....
 
Dude you cannot compare love to fuckin movgoz

I would put love in the 4th qt over Tim everyday of the fuckin week

Moz keeps people out of the lane. Some say he is the biggest part of the Cav's improved D. Love can provide more offense and is a better rebounder. You can make valid arguments for them both playing in the 4th.

That shit drives sports talk for hours up here.
 
Tell them sport talking heads the Cavs are in second place in the east after all the trouble at the beginning of the season, a few close loses away from really staring ATL down for the top seed in the East. So yea Love & Tim been sitting in some games in the 4th, but T Thompson been play well enough where they can sit.

They need to sit back and enjoy this run, because at this moment the fucking Blatt bus is ahead of schedule...
 
LeBron On Kyrie: The Kid Is Special
MAR 13, 2015 10:38 AM


Kyrie Irving scored a career high 57 points in the Cleveland Cavaliers' 128-125 overtime win over the San Antonio Spurs.

Irving made the game-tying shot at the end of regulation over Kawhi Leonard.

“The kid is special,” LeBron James said of Irving. “We all know it. We all see it. For him to go out and put up a performance like he did was incredible.”

“Kyrie Irving was unstoppable. I don’t know how to guard that,” Gregg Popovich said. “He did a hell of a job. We all know how talented he is, but he really went to a new level tonight. He had a hell of a night and that talent just got us.”
 
Cavs will rest too. They are resting Love right now. I guess he has been having back problems all season long. Lebron needs rest too.

Kyrie is about to turn 23. He doesn't need to rest. :yes:

Since the Cavs will be playing in June, rest is important.

When LeBron James bolted Miami to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, he expressed a desire to help Kyrie Irving become one of the best point guards in the NBA.

Irving's recent play proves that just may be the case.

He'd prefer not to have to carry the load by himself Monday night in Miami, where James is hoping an awkward fall won't keep him from making his second return to South Beach to face the Heat.

James took Miami to the NBA Finals in each of his four seasons with the Heat, winning two championships before deciding in the offseason to again play for his hometown team.

In the essay explaining his decision, James mentioned an urge to assist Irving in taking his game to the next level. That's exactly what Irving has done lately, averaging 37.3 points on the first three stops of Cleveland's four-game trip while shooting 63.3 percent from the field and hitting 13 of 15 from 3-point range.

Irving followed up his 57-point barrage in San Antonio on Thursday by hitting 12 of 15 from the floor -- 5 of 6 from 3-point range -- and scoring 33 points as Cleveland (43-25) beat Orlando 123-108 on Sunday. He's shooting 41.4 percent from 3-point range and 47.4 percent overall on the season, marks that would be the highest of his career.

"Someone did ask me, `What do you do for an encore for (San Antonio)?' I didn't have a good answer," coach David Blatt said. "But 12 for 15 from the field, 33 points in 34 minutes, that's a pretty good encore."

James scored 31 points against the Spurs and had 21 and 13 assists against Orlando as Kevin Love rested, but he tweaked his right knee in the second half against the Magic and expects to receive treatment Monday. He's hoping it won't keep him from facing his former team.

"I couldn't get my foot from underneath me and I was able to play through it obviously and see how I feel (Monday) and go from there," he said. "I haven't had one of those falls in (forever), in a pretty long time. ... I was happy to be able to stay on the floor with my teammates."

James had 30 points in his first return to Miami on Christmas Day, but the Heat got 31 from Dwyane Wade in a 101-91 win.

James got the best of his former team Feb. 11 in Cleveland, finishing with 18 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in a 113-93 victory -- one of the Cavs' 21 wins in 24 games since Christmas when James, Irving and Love have all been in the lineup.

Wade sat out that contest, but he enters this one averaging 28.0 points over his last five after scoring 25 in Friday's 102-92 loss at Toronto.

"Wherever LeBron goes, attention follows," Wade said. "The excitement of beating him and beating his teams is always going to be there. They're a totally different team the last time we played them (in Miami). We're a team fighting for the playoffs."

The Heat (29-36), who trail Charlotte by one-half game for the Eastern Conference's final playoff spot, committed 20 turnovers against the Raptors.

"At least 10 of them were unforced," coach Erik Spoelstra lamented. "We weren't really able to keep that collective mental toughness through those mistakes offensively. That led to some defensive breakdowns and it went from there."

Hassan Whiteside, who had 17 points and 14 rebounds in the last meeting with the Cavs, returned from a one-game suspension and finished with 12 rebounds against the Raptors after elbowing Boston's Kelly Olynyk on Monday.
 
Heat will win tonight ....because really they have no choice if they want to make the playoffs

They will give effort like they wouldnt any other game because the spotlight is there and they need to showout. Unlike when them fuckers made me nearly kick my tv after getting worked by Toronto

Like I said......Wade will put more effort into these games than he does in any other of the season cause the spotlight is on..

This is so his fans can go around shouting Wade County blah blah blah....where was all this effort when the Heat could have used it in some of these other games they lost this season...

I dont like inconsistent effort

Cavaliers-Bucks Preview

The Milwaukee Bucks' recent fall has almost certainly cost them a shot at home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

If it continues, they could play themselves into an unfavorable first-round matchup with Cleveland, Atlanta or worse, out of the postseason altogether.

Three of their final 13 games come against those top two teams in the Eastern Conference, with a date with the Cavaliers beginning that stretch Sunday in Milwaukee.

The Bucks (34-35), losers of five straight and 12 of 15, are situated in sixth place in the East and have fallen six games back of fifth-seeded Washington and seven behind the fourth spot. The greater concern should be the five teams within striking distance of them that could force their attention to the draft prematurely.

The extended slump has coincided with the acquisition of Michael Carter-Williams from Philadelphia. The Bucks are 4-12 since the deadline deal that also sent Brandon Knight to Phoenix, but their coach defends the move.

"Sometimes you've got to look in front of you and so I think the trade was a good thing, a positive thing no matter how our record shakes out," said Jason Kidd, whose team faces the Cavs (45-26), Miami, Indiana and NBA-leading Golden State on a four-game homestand. "We're here to build something, not to do something in six months, right. This is a bigger picture and so we feel that we have a core here that will be around for a long time and have success."

Friday's 129-127 triple-overtime loss in Brooklyn was the latest slip up after Milwaukee led by 10 at halftime, and it was an especially costly one since the Nets are one of the teams trailing the Bucks.

Carter-Williams, shooting 30.0 percent in his last five games, was the only starter not to reach 20 points, and the point guard's 19 came on just 7 of 26 from the field. In two games against Cleveland this season, he's averaged 10.0 points on 9 of 28 and 1 of 8 from beyond the arc.

Khris Middleton managed 29, but Carter-Williams' fellow guard has shot 37.0 percent on the losing streak and is 4 of 14 for an average of 6.0 points in two games against Cleveland.

The Cavs, conversely, have a playoff spot secured after Friday's 95-92 home victory over Indiana. It was their eighth win in 10 games, and they find themselves three games clear of Chicago at the top of the Central Division heading into a three-game road trip. They're an NBA-best 26-6 dating to Jan. 15, but all of those losses have come on the road as part of a 7-6 away stretch.

It's their first trip back to the playoffs since 2010 -- the end of LeBron James' first stint in Cleveland.

"It feels amazing," said Kyrie Irving, who along with teammates Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson hasn't played an NBA playoff game. "It's an awesome thing. I can't wait for it."

Some of Irving's best basketball has come against Milwaukee. Among teams he's faced more than five times, his 25.3-point scoring average against the Bucks ranks third, and his 51.7 field-goal percentage is his best.

Love has also been strong against Milwaukee, averaging 23.4 points and 14.4 rebounds over his past eight games.

The Bucks have won eight of nine against the Cavs in Milwaukee, but all of those games have come with James either resting or wearing a Heat uniform.

The teams have split two games in Cleveland -- James and Love both missed the second -- with another meeting in Milwaukee coming on April 8.

Cavs seem to be going through the motions....

:yes::yes::yes::yes:
Been away at Trinidad, saw the games and it seems like I wasn't the only one out for vacation..
Seems like LeBron is contempt at playing a quarter and a half, every game, and no one has the desire to take lead when he is cruising..
I don't like teams doing shit like that, the Heat used to do it all the time, but at least they had vet who were experienced at stepping it up during the playoffs. With a younger team you need to establish good habits and it they fuck around too much they may not be able to turn it on the way they think they can when it really counts.

I said it before. It seems like he wants to simulate the fucking season. It must be how I feel playing 2k15 but much, much worse.

Imagine knowing that all that matters is what you do in the postseason?
