It's hard to forget a game like this when you see constant failures and teams come so close and lose all the time here. Maybe we just needed a close game and a loss. Hopefully the players realize they can't play relaxed ever like they did in the 3rd quarter. I am never confident anymore with Cleveland teams.

Dang what's up with Charles lately?

I mean he's always hated the Lakers, but dude is crazy right now.

put up the quote about who he thinks is more clutch TYO
i'm pretty sure Kobe showed up last night when it counted and Bron didn't

and TYO stop acting like Denver played crappy and still almost won. The only 2 who didn't play well were JR and Carter.
whereas the Lakers, only Kobe showed up. "Gasoft" did out rebound both Nene and Martin combined though and showed up only in the end. still was icky offensively as with Lamar, Ariza, Bynum.

and cheato, it's ok. just forget the game. i already forgot it
Lol do you want me to put up the stats that showed wade and bron are more clutch than kobe? And then you came with the well z-bo has better stats than kg argument.

well then why are you only posting half of what West said?

by posting that I'm assuming that you are saying Jerry West is the end all be all. well put up the rest

ok lets stop it now lol

is it me, or for being a "superstar", Dwight gets absolutely no superstar calls

Dwight's post game is so raw its ridicolous. Mexi has better post moves than dwight.

One more thing. The Cavs obviously weren't going to win every game, we were bound to lose a game. I just didn't expect it here and it will be hard to win in Orlando.. Mo and Delonte were awful. They made clutch baskets but did nothing earlier in the game. LeBron needs help out there, and he wasn't getting it. I just hope this was a wake up call, because this franchise cannot afford to lose this year, because it could cost us LeBron and that would basically kill the franchise and the city of Cleveland.

Patrick isnt the right coach, their games are nothing alike.

Dwight has no offensive game from beyond 10 feet, and Pat made his career from defense and that mid range jumper.

But he did help Yao become the beast he is today, he's just not the right guy for D12 even though he has become alot better since Pat has arrived.

he needs a tutor
Patrick can't do it
Agreed only a few players on this earth have athletic ability of dwight. They are Bron,J-smoove,Blake griffin,TYO. Thats a rare breed of athletes.

Blake is gonna be sick. I heard rumors that he is a legit 6'9 without shoes. Now im just hoping for philly to either get jrue or trade up and get reke.

Reke is 6'6 he's basically a two that has played the one his whole life.

Jrue is a 6'4 combo guard who i believe can be a chauncey type of player.

I like lou but i would rather take a gamble on one of those 2 and develop them. Ed is supposedly working on a deal to get reke.

I want us to draft Jeff Teague, I doubt we will, but he's gonna be a steal for whoever drafts him.

I also wouldnt mind Derozan or Tyreke.

Yeah, I really hope we dont pull another Gallo pick, Curry isnt going to be able to play point, he couldnt do it in college, if we draft him idk.

I also wouldnt mind Harden though.
