REACTION: Cleveland Cavaliers CRUSHED By Luka Doncic & Los Angeles Lakers! | Where is the Defense?!
On this edition of Locked On Cavs, Danny Cunningham reacts to the Cleveland Cavaliers losing to the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night. He begins the show by breaking down the poor defensive effort from the Cavaliers, allowing the Lakers to take command of the game in the second and third quarters. Next, Danny talks about some of Cleveland’s poor offensive lineups, leading to little space for James Harden and Donovan Mitchell to operate and why that shouldn’t be a big concern. Finally, Danny takes a brief look at the Eastern Conference standings.

Do you think this was a concerning loss?
LeBron might be auditioning for a role in Cavs. I mean Cavs has all the pieces to take the next step and with Lebron willing to play the 3rd role, this definitely a receipe for success. But it will all depend on lakers progress in the playoffs.
Cavs cant be taken seriously with this defence
We good ( first round Raptors and second round Pistons without Cade Cunningham ) if the Cavs can keep it the fourth place
Luka Reaves and LeBron are not a trio you will be able to stop. Best big 3 in league. But can’t let Rui Aravia and Ayton go off
Where was Mobley? DPOY?🤣🤣Traded this summer.
I mean what did we expect? We had Tyson out and our only other real backup sf, we traded to the kings. Love wade but he is a of in my eyes not a sf but even he is out. Strus can play sf but he is simply just undersize in that position
I think behind the scenes we really want that 4th seed. It's kind of obvious.
They needed to lose to stay in that 4th spot. Low-key I think New York trying to lose to get to that 4th spot too. The Lakers needed this game the Cavs didn't and I don't think they really tried to get this one. The guys that are playing need to prioritize be healthy playing these last few games
no point in watching the rest of the season if we're resting starters the whole second half. That was fuckin bullshit. and as always i wish evan mobley was traded
It was evident they were losing as soon as the Knicks lost their match. They’re holding that 4th seed.
Kenny is the problem.
I'm sick of people saying that the Cavs are try for the 4th seed. If that's true then they don't deserve to win anything. They do not believe they are a real title contender. They are afraid of the Boston Celtics. As a Cavs fan this is not strategy, this is shameful. Real title contenders don't care about seeding.
They deserve to get knocked out in the first round by Atlanta or Toronto. This is disgusting.
