Typical Cleveland luck to get burnt by one of the luckiest pistseaaon buzzer beaters ive ever seen. Thats a momentum killer.

He did nothing this game, LeBron was Orlando series LeBron...and I don't want to bust on Mozgov, but what good is having a guy that is 9 feet tall if he can't close the lane for an entire half?

they were way too dependent on lebron to create almost all the offense and he wasnt dominant tonight ... could've tried to get JR some more looks and Della more minutes i guess. But ... offense .... Kyrie has to contribute. Jones was not helpful either.

A Leaf on the Wind
Pretty sure Kyrie got hurt at some point early in the game. Ankle, hip, some leg issue. He was moving up and down the court like an 80 year old man. I thought it was obvious that he was injured and should've been taken out of the game. Delly would've been a bigger threat standing in the corner, and hell, even driving to the basket. I know you guys are dumping on Irving for his performance tonight, but I'm fairly certain he was injured. He never plays like this.
If Irving and Love are healthy, this very well may be a sweep. As is the Cavs have no ball movement, and LeBron only hit jumpers when he played for Miami. The fact that they're down 2-1 to the Bulls right now means they'd be destroyed by a Western Conference team in the Finals. The Bulls are winning with 50% of Joakim Noah, Kirk Henrich playing actual minutes, Derrick Rose who cannot play on less than one day of rest (no, not putting that to bed after tonight, he was poorly defended), and Mirotic and Gasol who do more bitching than basketball playing. I don't want to see us play the Clippers or Warriors
If the Cavs do lose this series (we'll know at about 6:30pm on Sunday), they'll get extra rest for next year. The East will be better next year, but LeBron hasn't rested in June since he played for the Cavs the last time. Love is out. Varejao is out. Kyrie and Shumpert are playing hurt. The only bad part about losing now is that it's to the fucking Bulls.
Fuck the Bulls.

As I posted on the wall of a Bulls fan who also attended Ohio State last year, this is going seven games with Cleveland winning. No way does the NBA want Lebron out of the playoffs after only two rounds...

If Kyrie is really hurt, I don't see how this gets there.
What I took away from the last 2 games is that if Lebron and Kyrie play average, once you add JR back into the mix with Shump, Delly, Thompson, Moz ... it should've been a 5 game series. If Kyrie gets back on point, they'll win more games... if he's hurt and doesn't rebound... it's over.
Lebron isn't at that point where he can (or even willing?) to win a 7game series all on his own anymore.
