This team is disappointing
these locked on people are just professional apologists for whichever team they cover. lol
No Allen = no win. Jarrett is integral for the Cavs, if he was playing Hardin could have gone inside to him in 2nd quarter when nobody could hit outside shots.
Every early Sunday game the Cavs play it’s like this. Just look at the Cavs/Thunder game a couple weeks back! 1pm ain’t out time
The pieces on the Cavs do not fit , and the play on the floor is not that of a championship team. I have seen Brown and Tatum sacrifice their ego and commit to playing defense to hang Banner 18. Brown took the challenge upon himself in 2024, and locked up Luka in the Finals. When is Mitchell or Harden going to accept that challenge? That is the question in the room, the fans and local media do not ask the coaches and especially Harden and Mitchell about.
It seems the ‘outlier’ games are ALWAYS against Boston, NY, or OKC. They piss down their leg and get their ass kicked.
I don’t trust 2nd Round Spida & Playoff choking Harden. I also can’t believe Mobley looks less impressive than his rookie season. How did we get here?
Good analysis BUT the Celtics are a great defensive team. Maybe they had something to do with the misses.
Teams are trying to take Merrill out of his rhythm. They're gonna end up screwed cuz Merrill can burn them cause he can get hot and hit 3's with no problem. And wait till Allen comes back then it's on.
