What happen, took a elbow in practice?

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic sat out out Sunday's 102-98 loss to the Indiana Pacerswith an orbital contusion to his right eye.

Dragic suffered the injury when he took an elbow to the right eye during the team's win against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday night.

Dragic said he expected to play Sunday but the injury worsened overnight to the point where the swelling completely shut his eye.

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Cavs cant rebound for shit!!! Harden about to take this shit over. Cavs weakest defensive position is the one he plays... Now Kyrie out there shooting dumb ass shots!

 

[Pworld297]

His shit been thinning forever.. Then the bald spots came and he finally let it go and started rocking the baldy... Now he got a full head of thick hair again. Bron had to sign him.

DWill did something, you can see it. He must've called Boozer.

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Damn... Now youve got little ass Beverly getting offensive rebounds, Kyrie not blocking out! Cavs got so many holes it's ridiculous! Jeezus!!

 

[Amajorfucup]

Kyrie back.. one turnover and one horrendous 3, and one cherry pick attempt/no box out that allows his guy to get rebound and foul..

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

DWill did something, you can see it. He must've called Boozer.

LeBron's gonna be out there looking like DeMarr Carroll next season fucking with that D Will serum!!

 

[KingTaharqa]

Cavs soft.

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Kyrie lost as fuck on the defensive end!!! Motherfuckers a straight clown on defense!

 

[RoadRage]

19 to 3 offensive rebounding the Cavs have to damn near play play perfect to stay close..

 

[KingTaharqa]

Beverly outworking Kyrie.

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Cavs can't rebound for shit!!! Jeezus

 

[Amajorfucup]

Kyrie... another failure to boxout results in rebound and foul...

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Lay up and FT drill for Harden the rest of the game! None of these motherfucker play defense worth a damn...

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Kyrie... another failure to boxout results in rebound and foul...

Dude is a fucking joke past half court on defense man! Hes hilarious running back all hard after he scores like he's getting ready to lock up

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Damn... Now LeBron out there with the damn matador defense... Trevor Ariza though? Pathetic

 

[BDR]

Nope, he does so many little things the team is missing now..

He better than Bosh?

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

This game really is exposing just how small as fuck the Cavs are... LeBron out there fucking up... and just like clock work, Kyries man hits a big shot because he's wide the fuck open!!

 

[RoadRage]

Cavs playing lazy, too much one on one and passing around the perimeter instead of trying to collapse the paint and set up the three point shot.
Every time they play like this they lose..

 

[RoadRage]

He better than Bosh?

This year he has better numbers than Bosh when he was playing with LeBron..

 

[KingTaharqa]

D'Antoni's Rockets

 

[Mask]

Man this fools about to be 0/8 on the second night of back to backs...(I think Doug Collins said they were 0/7)

Grant the rockets would give them hell on any night....

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Difference in the game, Cavs can't rebound for shit, can't play defense for shit! All of the Cavs shots are contested, Houston is getting open looks. Look at this possesion. Kyrie hit a big shot but it was hard fucking work!!

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Harden looking like a REAL MVP tonight! Taking the game into his own hands!!

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Damn Westbrook!!!

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Damn... LeBron ain't give them SHIT the last 4 minutes of the game! Harden did what a star is supposed to do... Fucking triple double and had his hand in every play at the end of the game like MVPs should do. He was CLEARLY the best player on the court tonight!!!

 

[BDR]

Cavs tanking so they don't have to face the heat in the first round

Bitch ass niggas

Harden got more killer instinct bruh. LeBron too passive.

 

[RoadRage]

Man this fools about to be 0/8 on the second night of back to backs...(I think Doug Collins said they were 0/7)

Grant the rockets would give them hell on any night....

Now its time to sign Larry Sanders, wait for Korver and Love, while getting JR shot ready for the post season...

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Beverly outworking Kyrie.

Effort was Key
no reason these teams should outrebound other teams as such.
that's what i be talking about when i say effort.

In the regular season yeah..

With out Love in there most of the time the Cavs tallest player is 6-9 (Thompson) so its to be expected..

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

That wasn't about height. That was about effort. Rockets ain't trotting out a big lineup either. Getting those offensive boards killed them.
You can pinpoint possessions where it just was not what it was supposed to be

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Cavs tanking so they don't have to face the heat in the first round

Bitch ass niggas

Dude hopefully its something! What I saw tonight was fucking embarrassing! I don't know whether Kyrie didn't give a fuck or if he's just that horrible of a damn defensive player..... and maybe LeBron is getting older because he simply disappeared at the end of the game.

These fools listened to his ass talking about they needed a guard, and these motherfuckers can't rebound for shit!

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

This is solely on coaching.

Also to be fair we have to look at how many of those back to back's did lebron play in.
