2017-2018 Cleveland Cavaliers Thread

Currently free-throws are his only weakness. Going through a rough patch for some reason. Just needs a tweak to get back to normal though.

Kind of reminds me of MJ in the 1993 playoffs and finals when he shot only 69% free throws, which was i think the lowest in his career. But overall he played well in that season.

 

[drewsone]

He shot 80% for Indy series lol

Wonder what happened

 

[kdawg]

Just a glitch - he’ll be able to sort that out on his day off.

GOAT.

9 more.

I’m telling y’all. Something is happening.

9 of 11 last night? That’s more like it.

 

[ForNarnia]

For some reason I wasn’t worried at all when it came down to the last shot. I just knew a special moment was about to happen again and had my snap out ready to capture it no need for DVR lol.

 

[drewsone]

My god.

This man is playing out of his damn mind

 

[kdawg]

 

[drewsone]

trash *** game lol.

i had boston in 6 tho but still.

 

[ForNarnia]

The starting lineup with Bron needs to be TT, Love, JR and Hill. Split minutes between Clarkson and Korver and don’t have them both in at the same time. And absolutely don’t play Jeff Green and give Nance those minutes. Nance is better at moving without the ball and is a decent passer if he doesn’t have a shot. Tired of seeing Green freeze or stop his dribble and force a horrible shot.

 

[drewsone]

Yeah Green has been pretty trash imo
Always takes stupid shots or stupid euro steps. Shooting like 9% from 3 pt lol

But I think Lue likes him on the defensive end I GUESS. But Nance gives them another pick and roll option, aerial attack, and a athletic rim protecting presence
And they've scored plenty in the paint last game

 

[kdawg]

He can play then - but no making his own shot. Shoot an open jumper or accept a pass running to an unguarded basket - but anything else has to be a pass to someone else. There's way too much ISO play by guys who shouldn't be doing it - Lebron can do that all game and Love has his moments but everyone else has to play within the system, whatever that is (which is most of the problem IMO).

 

[drewsone]

they need to run that play where bron has it on top and kyle sets a back screen that runs down to the basket for a layup

 

[ForNarnia]

Clarkson is a two way street. Sometimes he thinks he’s a superstar and overdribbles the ball and pulls up for mid range that he misses more than he makes. But the thing I like about him is that he plays aggressive and doesn’t play scared. He always try’s to make something happen. Everyone else just stands around and waits for the ball to come to them or just watches LeBron.

Need more players with Clarksons mentality.

 

[drewsone]

Yeah I feel like Clarkson is really close to getting to the next level and becoming more of a consistent threat.
He does sort of over dribble sometimes but he does end up with a lot of decent looks tho.

Last week has been insane man. Get destroyed game 1. Then have the lead at half of Game 2. Come out horrible in second half.

Down 0-2

I was stunned. Not panicking mode yet but close.

Then tonight we get it done.

Monday is the tell all.

Sad how this thread has gone downhill last couple years.

No Cleveland fans on NT. NT all laker fans and Lebron haters lol it’s wild

But yeah I’m so happy the Cavs came out and demolished them. They played great defense and Bron was a real presence in the end.
Bron also getting the team involved. It’s crazy because when they miss their shots the narrative is Lebron is passive. When they’re making shots the team is an entirely different beast

They don’t have to shoot 50% from 3 and make 17 but even something like a nice 9-13 would be great

First two games they were shooting sub 34% I think

 

[kdawg]

That was a great game - particularly the defense. They could have won without a great offensive game.

It’s areal shame that they blew game 2 - we would gave been in great shape if it was 2-1.

Anyway, one more at home and it’s a best of 3.

I agree. Would’ve loved to take Game 2 but it is what it is. I’m feeling a lot better this morning. Hopefully we bring the same energy and shooting tomorrow night. We take tomorrow I’m confident we can go in there Wednesday and take them down. Still gotta take it one at a time. Let’s go Cavs

They’re used to be a lot more. It’s partly my fault though I should be constantly updating and keeping this thread on the first page. No need to dwell on it though.

Enormous game tomorrow.

Let’s go baby

 

[drewsone]

Need them to come out with the same defensive energy

 

[drewsone]

Nance

 

[finallyfamous]

LETs go!!!
