Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

This team is painful to watch, I'm not even sure if I mean just on the court as well.
Can't close out against the perimeter, can't protect the paint, don't transition well, no fluidity on offense and these guys seem just fine with it post-game.

Holy hell, how things have gone from good into a total shit storm.

Thomas is a waste of an inflated basketball

Agreed. I still can't believe that Kyrie trade. As I said leading up to the trade, if the Cavs couldn't get a stellar deal, they should've just told Kyrie he was going to be a Cav all year, and he could build his stock up and walk at the end of the season. Instead (and predictably), the Cavs panic and basically give Kyrie away for nothing to the Celtics. The Cavs front office vs. the Celtics front office is like a preschooler trying to negotiate against someone with an MBA from Harvard.

There's something goofy here:

Re: the Cavaliers held an 'emotional' team meeting on Monday, at which teammates accused Love of faking an illness on Saturday to get out of their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He subsequently also missed practice on Sunday, citing the same illness.
Wojnarowski noted that the meeting was "loud and intense" and "fiery" as Love's teammates called him out for leaving the arena early on Saturday while the rest of the Cavaliers were busy losing to the Thunder, 148-124. During an appearance on "SportsCenter," Wojnarowski described a locker room that is "divided" with a lot of "finger-pointing."

however....

And that news was welcomed by the Cavaliers with open arms, including LeBron James who told reporters that Rose doesn’t owe the Cavs an explanation as to why he left. “You never know what someone is going through and we just hope that we can be his support system and if he needs something to say or wants to get it out, then we’ll be open and listen and then welcome him back in,” James said, according to Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com. “We happy that he’s not giving up on his love at this point in his life and his career and he’s ready to return back to Cleveland.”

Love leaves a game early and is severely criticized; Rose quits the teams for reasons unknown and he is welcomed back with "open arms"....For whatever reason, it appears that several Cav players just do not like Love.

Even if the Love story is true as written, which even as catty as the NBA is I kind of doubt, I'm assuming Rose gets a massive amount of sympathy from most people around the league because of the nature in which his career was derailed.

It absolutely has to be the New Cavs on the team as the real shitheads. Thomas and Crowder all bitter because they got traded and Cleveland whipping their asses before this season. I would guarantee it's them and neither has a mind to stick around so they just want to take out "Lebron's team" while they can.

Get rid of their asses immediately!

Thomas apparently bolted the locker room without answering questions too. He talks an awfully big game for a guy that ballhogs and shoots more than Iverson and who might well be the single worst defender in NBA history
