cursed by lil b
Ran out of fuel
>>68297552
No defense.
Irving and LOVE are both shit defenders. Also Kyrie is too much of a chucker. Guy never passes the ball.
>>68297552
Literally everything. Shit gameplan. Have their worst defenders back.
kebin lob is soft as fuck
They played Love and Irving for too long allowing stupid shit to happen, refs weren't calling shit and let it get too physical, Love actually played, sitting Thompson, Pipeman cold. Basically the Cavs are also a meme.
>>68298135
>too physical
The Cavs are suppose to be the more physical team. Rough play is what they wanted.
>>68298186
They don't want that with Paper Love, Manlet Delly, and no Mosgov. Klay and Curry took full advantage of the physical ball and stat padding.
shit coaching, horrible bench, and of course LEBETA doesn't have anyone to carry him
Love is white.
they do great in the first quarter and then throw the plan to shit
Defense >>>> Offense
LeBron is a bad coach and a terrible GM.
>>68297552
Just came out after halftime choking
These entire playoffs are what went wrong.
Honestly, this is one of the most boring playoffs the NBA has had in a long time. It's become so predictable.
God, most of these playoff games are fucking blowouts too. Made a good amount of money betting in teams so at least it isn't all that bad.
Is parity in the NBA that worse off now than, say. 3-5 years ago?
love is a slow overrated old white dude
>>68298384
>>68297552
The NBA not having a super marketable "GOTY" active star Like Jordan so they decided to overhype some with with some talent as all other stars were getting old and now poor LELbron "traveling" James can't live up to the expectations not even without the ref's help.
The coach is shit, and Love is shit.
I really hate to say it, but they would be playing better with Blatt.
Blatt got 2 wins off the warriors without Kyrie and Love. Fucking lue can't even get two.
>>68298432
You gotta let Whitey have some NBA players to look up to. Look at meme Hayward at the Jazz.
Where is Mosgov, etc?
No rotation, no hacking to counter 3s in the 3rd...
Remember the media were claiming this team was better than the Heat. Kek.
the 6 curse lives on
skreeeoonnk
>>68298527
lue is a fucking idiot
he barely played pipe man, shumpert, mosgov, or delly
>>68297552
No one knew that Golden State was better....they thought it was just about injuries.
That's it.
Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love have shit defense so Curry and Draymond (mostly Draymond) are feasting. Lebron is scared to finish his drives for some reason and keeps kicking it out to some scrub on the perimeter who isn't open. Plus Iggy is playing out of his mind on defense.
>>>68298466
>Poointhelue
>>68298607
Lebron is hesitant because Igoudala has stolen everything but his ss
>>68298127
>gets a concussion
>gets called soft
>>68298607
Kyrie played excellent defense this game and last game, it's Love.
>>68298658
good thing iggy is not mexican.
>>68298707
It's not just love it's lue. it's the rotation and the bench.
cavs are getting:
>outcoached
>outbenched
>outmemed
>>68297552
literally kevin love
It's fucking Kevin Love jesus christ I hope he chokes on Curry's semen or something. Can't hit free throws, can't post up, can't defend, he's just dogshit.
>>68298776
didn't cavs sign him for 5 years lmao
>>68298798
They will trade him hopefully.
>>68297552
>>68298466
CLEVELAND is shit
>>68298566
Smiff played 43 minutes
he was just invisible
>>68298721
Do they get in more trouble for stealing ss? Is this a trump law?
>>68298952
Because the ball was literally in LeBron or Kyrie's hands the entire time playing isoball.
>>68298572
>No one knew that Golden State was better
They improved on a 67-win season by six more games and have two players breaking their own league-wide records.
>>68299462
Yet, people still thought their championship was injury related.
No one knew, with out a shadow of a doubt, that the Warriors were better. Or they weren't willing to admit it. Whatever though.
Having two defensive liabilities on the floor in your starting lineup.
Until this series and didn't realize Kyrie Irving was so bad defensively.
what will be lebron's excuse this year?
>>68297552
no bench and a horrible front office/coach
>>68299788
My personal narrative was that they heard the "easy trip" criticism, took it in stride and then decided to improve. I mean, shit, Curry was in the running for Most Improved Player back in the winter, iirc.
>>68298186
The problem is that the Cavs have more drives, and rough play disproportionally affects drives. They still call fouls on jumpshots but not on drives, meaning the Cavs main way of scoring is inhibited while the Warriors way is not.
>>68299788
>>68299858
Sorry, I'm a bit drunk and I didn't read:
>Or they weren't willing to admit it.
I'll just go with that.
>>68297552
>letting lebron take over as captain, coach, and GM simultaneously
Dont call it a grave, its the future you chose cleveland. Ty lue is just there for decoration.
Poo in Lue is just an awful coach. They should have kept the Jew desu
Nothing. Lebron dribbles into the paint, sees defenders, goes shit shit shit and kicks the ball out but Battier/Allen/Miller aren't there, so he loses.
>>68297552
that cuck in between the two faggots
>>68299886
This is poetic.
>>68297552
They faced one of the best teams in NBA history.
Seriously guys we are watching history with this team. GS would have beaten Jordan's bulls.
GS is not even playing their best basketball in this series and they are gonna win 4-1
jr and iman
>>68299932
gr9 b9 m9
>>68298506
If Hayward were on the cavs instead of love they are winning this series 3-1
>>68297552
>not miami trying to win a finals
Thats what went wrong op
>only two-way player on the team is Lebron
>Lebron keeps kicking it out or losing the ball when he gets inside
there you go
I would start Delly alonside Kyrie, put Love back in the starting lineup over RJ.
>lebron tries to drive into the paint like he used to
>loses the ball or kicks it out
This team would lose to any western conference playoff team. They are garbage.
They wrote articles about Love's inability to defend when he was first traded to Cleveland in 2014.
>>68300476
lol
Who could the Cavs get in the offseason to boost their roster?
>2012 Draft
Clevaland -
4.Dion Waiters
24.Jared Cunningham
33.Bernard James
34.Jae Crowder
GSW -
7.Harrison Barnes
30.Festus Ezeli
35.Draymond Green
>>68301235
If Ezeli was on any other team he would get 0 playing time. The dude is athletic but his head and hands are not meant for basketball. He should've just went on to be the weeb lawyer he was destined to be.
>>68301235
They should've took Drummond
>>68300897
>Ariza for Shump cause Dantoni has a hardon for Iman
>Nick Young and Hibbert for Kevin Love
What could go wrong?
>>68301235
people dont realize how important front offices are
>>68298421
yes because players take even longer to get their shit together. the talent pool is so barren that missing out on the #1 pick is like a death sentence for your team
>>68301300
>Cavs need more ball movement
>Add Nick Young and Roy Hibbert
Allowed LeBron to be the Coach and GM
>>68301776
This.
Bron handpicked this team. He claims he is the best player in the world. Then show up to these fucking games and prove you're the best player! You can't handpick the team and coach and then blame them after.
It's all Lebron.
He's a choking fucking dog.
You NEVER fuck over your Jewish coach

>>68297552
no chemistry. just stacking a team with good players on paper doesn't always work, you'd think that was obvious after miami. also lebron's ego is too big and he's a cancerous "leader"
>>68305979
Miami worked
>>68306100
Miami had a coach, an alpha dog in D Wade and Pat Riley
>>68305979
>you'd think that was obvious after miami.
>4 straight finals
>2 rings
>doesn't always work
>>68306438
>50% win ratio
>>68297719
Lebron is not a good defender either.
>>68297652
this.
the curse is real
>>68298682
If he were harder he wouldn't have been concussed.
> muh brain
