What you learned is you can’t beat the Celtics
Win is a win sweep or not
Good job g
We have to get props to the Orlando Magic 🪄
Say what you want, but I do not want to play the Orlando Magic in the playoffs. Their team is something and for them to upset us in the playoffs after last year will be something crazy
great stuff guys. just found you and subscribed. keep it up
mobley is THE DIFFERENCE in a matchup with Orlando.
Turnovers, Turnovers, Turnovers!!! It was more of we didn't do as to what Orlando did!!!
" Reach into my bag of I hate this guy tricks " 😂
I think we learned that the Cavs can sometimes play in an uncharacteristic and unpredictable way. And that’s kinda scary if God forbid it happens during a playoff series versus a team like Boston or OKC. Why would they go iso??! They cannot afford to miss so many shots in probably even one playoff game.
The three point shot was a liability instead of a weapon last night. Combine that with Evan Mobley's absence and Orlando's defensive pressure and there you have it, end of winning streak.
Exactly G, take the loss and learn from hit now. Give you more time to smooth everyting out before nitty gritty PO.
Well Mobley was injured so I’m sure that wasn’t a factor at all though
they used Allen early and it worked and they went away from it
Magic only an 8 seed due to injuries…realistically they are more like a 4th seed…that means Cavs have a 2nd rd matchup in rd 1…would be physical
Banchero and Wagner are the 2nd and 3rd best players on the court…
ORLANDO MAGIC
Cavs will give up home court advantage to okc as they continue to rest guys who aren’t really hurt and it takes guys out of their rhythm. Dumb.
Refs were also bad, but shooting was an issue.
Cavs in 4 or 5 vs Orlando
……….TOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY TURN OVERS………………….NEVER……A GOOD ……..LOSS…………
Kenny shoulda called a timeout tho
IOW, they just have to keep winning, regardless of 70, regardless of Boston, regardless of OKC…got it!
They loss bc TY talked shit and then got his corn bread ate 🤷🏾♂️.
This was a mental loss we needed as a team now if we lose Tues and weds then something is wrong but imo Kenny should of started Wade..he knows the system etc and we need him to get going early once again imo
won 16 of 17. not a big deal.. with that said stop playing with your food.
We beat this same team by 40 not that long ago. We scored 38pt in the first quarter and was on our way to another blowout win. Cavs simply missed WIDE open shots.. Stop trying to make it more than what it is.
Ok well maybe the construction of the team is still not built to win it all because I’m sick of hearing about big teams we’re too guard reliant and guard heavy let’s be honest besides DM an DG we have Merrill Strus Okoro Jerome Green Tyson none of them is over 6/6 at the most TT is trash and Hunter is 6/8 but he’s one guy one injury to ether big of Mobley or Allen would be catastrophic that’s why I’m cautiously optimistic about my expectations because the post season is a different animal and this team still has a fragile makeup to me but it’s not because of just this game it’s about matchup basketball and the refs don’t care about the bullyball offense that people like Tatum and Brown for Boston and Banchero use to operate like he got away yesterday. I don’t want to have to depend on Tristan Thompson!!! They needed to address this when they went out and got hunter someone like a Mo Bamba would be a great fit as a backup big. Even the kid we had last season Damien Jones filled in well when ether Mobley or Allen were out but I don’t want to get to the postseason and keep having this same Narrative when it could be avoided.Not to mention that they have a 6/9 Emoni Bates and 6/8 Luke Traves. O yeah I forgot about Dean Wade for some reason maybe that says something to that.
should have taken this game more seriously instead of patting ourselves on the back for a meaningless 16 game win streak. We wound up pissing away a 13 point halftime lead… our lead over OKC is down to 1/2 a game, now we go on a road trip, don't be surprised if this turns into a 3 game losing streak, should we face Orlando in the playoffs we just gave them confidence they can beat us in Cleveland. Let's see if in June we are playing game 7 in OKC because of this debacle. Overall, it might not matter because right now it looks like NO ONE is beating OKC. What happened yesterday was completely unacceptable.
Cavs beat Orlando in 4, MAYBE 5 but they don’t have nearly enough on offense to beat us twice
terrible take at the end lmao the celtics are like .500 at home in the playoffs. They're statistically a better road team lol. Number one seed overall is far more important than over the celtics
I love how the rest of the league is happy that the Cavs finally lost. All wishing they would start losing. For ONCE the Cavs are having a good season and all the other teams are wishing they could get a chance.
Bullshit loss, remember when franz stepped out and there was no call? That turned into a 3..
3 Bad straight to's…missed free throws..and Sam/Hunter…off shooting nights along with DM….Ty learned a lesson from this as well..don't kick the bear…because Ty was clearly not the same player after that happened. Cavs will bounce back…Mobley was big time missed against this big team! Go Cavs . Trust your offense…ball movement …not iso…please!!!
The Cavs don't give Hunter enough touches in games. I'm tired of watching Sam Murrell miss like 5 shots in a row. Let him get more touches
Atlanta when they beat the Cavs back to back games in late November had Hunter who was the leading scorer in both games for the Hawks and Johnson is out for the rest of the season so Atlanta doesn't have the same two players available for them that really hurt the Cavs because now Hunter is a Cavalier and Johnson is out because of injury!
That we can’t win every game and it’s ok lol
