Cavs can't always count on fourth-quarter rallies

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

CLEVELAND -- The fourth quarter usually is crunch time in the NBA. Too often this season, it's been try-to-come-from-behind time for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The defending Eastern Conference champs, practicing a dangerous trend of relying on LeBron James for fourth-quarter rallies, have trailed entering the final period in 28 of 37 games. They have won 11 of those.
"Teams come in early with a sense of urgency, and for the most part we don't have that same intensity," guard Damon Jones said. "It doesn't mean that we're not going out and playing hard. But it's like teams ? play a little bit harder than we are."

Yeah same thing here...I have seen him have about 3 or 4 floaters and just a steal and a layup as i was typing this...

He looks so tiny out there...

Z is having a big game starting off the second half...

as I type this I'm changing the channel...we're scoring at will (72-65 right now) but I just can't stand the laziness of this team.

LeBron throws a lazy pass, easy layup for Mike Conley

Hughes throws a lazy pass, easy bucket for Rudy Gay

It's just horrible effort and terrible basketball. By the way LeBron just made another hoop- Congrats to him.

We're making a lot of shots, but they aren't good ones. We're not a good team, and we'll never win a championship until they learn how to play a good brand of basketball.

Agree. Guess who that falls on? The asshole that just got a friggin' extension yesterday. My hope for a championship and for keeping LBJ long-term took a serious hit when I got that news.:smash:
