Premium Member sturt Posted October 22, 2018 Premium Member Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Taking nothing away from the fact that we played well, I think we might have to acknowledge this early on that perhaps CLE played as well in that 1st quarter as they are capable of playing. I hate to say that. And particularly so, since there's a draft pick waiting in the wings that won't be ours if they're that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were predicted to win 18 games and finish with the worst record in the league by someone who use to post regularly around here especially in the tank thread. Therefore we were suppose to be the team with the least amount talent and most amount of youth especially without our starting front court. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, there have been worse teams and better rookies-against who haven't yielded such results. IOW, take your wet blanket and shove it.

I'm just hoping they aren't as bad as they looked yesterday. I want that pick. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShooterSays Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 I'm going to keep telling myself that our rookies just whooped the defending Eastern Conference Champions without 2 of our starters and continue on in my state of bliss. I'm deliberately going to ignore the fact that 23 is no longer with them. Our rookies and us as fans needed to see that win last night. I'm not going to overthink it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazer Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Cavs are bad. That pick is toast. Ice Trae still had one of the best rookie games in a quarter century. As KG said: better rookies have done less against worse teams. The Young’n for real y’all ✨ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper they seem like they should be fighting for the 8th seed. This will kind of cement Love's legacy for me. Is he empty numbers or can he really drive a team to success?

Premium Member sturt Posted October 22, 2018 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 I normally gave us until December before I felt like our season's destiny was pretty well understood. So, answering my own question, I'm going to wait a few weeks before getting too worried about how CLE is going to turn out overall. But that team we played last night looked like they had no answers defensively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will kind of cement Love's legacy for me... They’re washed. Hood, Clarkson, and Hill all need the ball and great coaching to defend up to their ability. Good luck with that. Thompson and JR are washed without Father LeBron, huge void at SF. Love can earn some respect back if he continues to beast on the glass like he used to but the intangibles just aren’t there to lead them to an improbable 8th seed.

bleachkit Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 We aren't getting that pick. I have a bet that we wont, and unfortunately I will be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guard Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 I’m just glad the Mavs are too good to be picking in the top 5. I predict Cleveland will be in tank mode after the deadline. They look terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benhillboy Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 There’s a glimmer of light now. Drew is a considerable upgrade from Lue. Don’t know what took that inept management so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
