HERE GOES THE LOSING STREAK 😮 CAN'T MISS FREE THROWS FACTS 😮
Zone is played out, man up. Cavs play too slow, gotta play faster, more ball movement. Didn't get Allen involved in offense nowhere near enough, 8 points. We will see how good Atkinson really is now… Too many missed free throws…
And they wonder why the media doesn't talk about the cavs. Mobley is missed. Good teams find ways to win and overcome adversity….we can't!
Cannot depend on Wade to stay healthy. I was not a "we need a trade" guy. However, depending on Dean Wade to stay healthy would be complete insanity…
Cleveland fans are so bipolar 😂 most of y’all clearly only watch the Cavs cause they’ve got a great record. Every great team has rough patches especially when players are missing.
We shooting wayyy to many 3s and not making them kenny you got to start calling more plays and sam Merrill not shooting the ball good at all he's wide open
Defense is so bad, what is his philosophy???
The only real liability we have this year is Sam Merrill I really don’t think he should get many minutes I don’t think he will when injured players come back.
are the Cavs in trouble? 2 close games lost, can they survive tough match ups in the clutch?? 🤣🤣🤣
Thay can’t keep missing free throws I’m wondering is any of the players betting on the game and missing free throws on purpose or is that camissner telling you guys to purposely lose games because Thay really doesn’t like the cavs no wonder you’re on a losing streak against bad teams
Make trade or no championship
The wheels on the Cavaliers hype train are starting to come loose. Yes, the Cavaliers are still a very good team—nobody’s denying that—but the league is starting to figure them out. They’re not invincible, and the cracks are becoming more and more visible. I don’t believe this team is going to the Finals, and frankly, I think they’re going to collapse in the postseason. In a way, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been fool's gold. They’ve looked shiny and impressive on the surface, but they’re not the unstoppable juggernaut so many people are hyping them up to be.
And here’s the thing—every team loses games. That’s just basketball. But how often do you see a true championship-caliber squad lose to a bottom-of-the-barrel team like the hapless 76ers? It’s rare—very rare. That kind of loss is not what you expect from a team with legitimate title aspirations. It’s a glaring red flag, whether fans want to admit it or not.
For anyone itching to tell me I’m wrong, go ahead. Just know this: I keep receipts. When the Cavaliers inevitably collapse and bow out of the postseason, you’ll be hearing from me. Count on it.
Get rid of Georges , simple as that
Evan, we need you back, brother!
When you put guards out there to shoot a lot of 3's, enforce your big men to get rebounds whilst play no defense, then you get a back and forth battle that'll force you to lose close games.
Simple as that. Question is, is that the type of game you want to play Kenny?
Sixers are trash, right? You can win this with your bench, right? Look, Coach, Rockets coming in and SMASHING your soft, fraud-ass team and you'll lose both sides of this back to back. And rightly so. You get the Philly win. Period. But you? Went for two in the bush. Fool.
Hope Dean is ok…we desperately need size and length on the perimeter! It's during these times when Mobley is out and Dean is injured that when you look down the roster you see a bunch of 6'4/6'5 guys…lots of 2 guards!…KOBY!
