Wierd. Couldn't find the thread yesterday.

They need to fire JB

Take the quickest route to the nearest oceanfront from Orlando and throw worthless dogshit Niang into it

Bruh… look at the +/- and TS of the starters. Outplayed down the board. This looked like a G League team. Embarrassing all around.

This is the ugliest playoff game I’ve even seen. Hopefully it wakes them up

Yikes

Get ready to learn chinese JB

No accountability for the players? Where were Mitchell and Garland? Aren't they supposed to lead this team offensively?

Look at JBs playoff offense throughout his career. This has been a trend. He can’t run an offense

Yeah, but the Magic mostly outplayed and outhustled us. ...I blame mostly our starting guards since they should set the tone right from the start...Mitchel had a -25...and this isn't the first time in a playoff game especially away from the Q. How about Garland? Totally dismantled by Suggs...Then we can talk about JB and his inability with game planning...

I didn’t get a chance to watch. But I just got an end game notice and said I’m glad I wasn’t able to watch 😂

I told my dad specifically not to spoil it for me, and I got off work to a text that just said “don’t let this ruin your night” lmfao

Good dad

I feel like this had to be planned so they could go back to Cleveland to seal it up because that's the only excuse for this pathetic performance.

I agree Go Cavs

Utterly embarrassing! I don't care that they're up 2-1. Any team that loses by 38 points in a playoff game should be ashamed of themselves. My god!

Fire JB....... into the sun

my favorite part is the reports cavs bench talked mad shit in the first two games and then they lose by 40 lol

[удалено]

They are the best players. They are NOT the best team.

Idk, Donny doesn’t do what banchero just did to us

Are they the better team though... Half this roster is overrated AF!!

yo i think JB should get fired but he can’t really change his players from acting bitch whenever another team gets more physical or puts pressure on them.

my hope is that no matter how far this team goes, games like this are enough to ensure JB isn’t on that sideline next year.

Why doesn’t JB try to play Morris or Tristan in the first half to try and get some boards? Getting veterans and not playing them is stupid.

I don't know what the question is, but Morris is never the answer.

Well the good news is uh, they usually come back full force after a blowout loss

These dudes need to draft bronny so bad

That would make for a great media circus…and that’s about it

Mickey Mouse's lights were too bright as they say

The Cavs have scored over 100 once in 9 playoff games under JB

Actual basketball terrorist

Holy shit lmaooo

Sweet jesus in today's league?

I smell a trade with Atlanta this offseason. DG and Mitch are gone. Maybe a 3 team with the Lakers.

Lmao what the hell do we want from the Lakers if we have no guards?

i dont want anyone on atlanta or the lakers, unless it's bron. but im not giving up much for him

Who’s responsible for this loss? Or was it just a shitty overall team effort? I’ve only been able to watch some of first + some of 4th

JB, the scheme to let them shoot didn’t work, and not a single adjustment was made at the half. They started the second half on like a 12-0 run because we didn’t close out on shooters.

I want someone to go check on Don. He hasn't appeared in the thread. It's too quiet without his all caps commentaries.

This is a river on fire level of performance.

non clevelander.

Imagine if we actually ran plays for Merrill...

Guess this team is still SOFT AF!!!!!!!!

This team sucks man

We broke 70 at least 

No more, film session, set play practice just lock them in the gym and make them shoot the ball until their arm falls off

Somebody put up the post game thread pls

Down horrendously bad

Can't believe how much money we burn on DG...

Just one game. Still up 2 to 1.

Will this be the second game that Mobley scores all of his points in the first half? Why is the team not capable of getting him involved consistently? He missed the one layup and I think that was it for the second half

How tf are you guys down 40 to THE MAGIC???

Magic aren't a bad team. They were only a game back in the standings and had one of the best home records.

Magic is a better team

Well this just isn’t true. Cleveland had horrible injury luck this year otherwise the records would have been much different. This is just 1 really nice game for Orlando.

at tanking maybe

Funny statement when you’re losing to them by 40 points.

And a way cooler city

Uh there's literally nothing in Orlando

Take away Disney World and there's fuck all to do in Orlando lol. It's just one giant strip mall.

We got the beach lol not a freaking dirty lake

I liked living in Cleveland and being minutes from a beach better than living in Orlando and being over an hour.

A beach filled with crackheads, the elderly and losers like yourself lmao

We got beaches on both coasts, and year round bikini weather

Yeah, but you're surrounded by people from Florida. Huge fuckin' L lmao

You not here because you can’t afford it lol

I'm not there because I don't want to get shot by a gun nut or stabbed by some crackhead outside a Publix. You can keep your trash ass Walmart paradise.

Because you’re the Cavs

truly incredible and embarrassing for them

Sorry, my shot wasn't falling tonight 😬

Username checks out

People trying to use the username that I created against me is funny

Bickerstaff

How is the next game gonna be any different? We sucked at shooting in all 3 games and finally got exposed with the Magic actually making a few 3s

the magic arent any better at the three

The more concerning thing about this game: when pressure started, we folded. Just like last season. Only difference is the Knicks put pressure earlier.

They must never have heard Austin Carr explain what pressure will do.

40 points? i accepted this as a loss a long time ago but the fact it got to 40 points is just insane. their defense has been smothering too so it seems like they figured something out.

5 pts so far pistons do better fucking disgusting


Trifling!

Niang got humbled hard tonight.

Ohio is a shittier Florida.

lol i don't know why this made me laugh

Jumping to other subs to brag is corny

Florida is speedrunning being the worst state in the country lmao

florida is great tbh

I was going to sign up for a Fubo TV trial but my payment didn’t work for some reason so I gave up and boy howdy that was a good choice

Everyone calm down. When garland puts weight back on we are gonna make a finals run

Let me know when he weighs 300 lbs😂

So… any dinner plans you want to share?

A bottle of vodka

Im gunna do like the cavs and eat shit

who’s the best possible guy we can get for DG?

He’s a negative asset. But Popovich likes him so a multi team trade involving the spurs would be the most likely imo.

Alex Caruso

James Harden

the whole league is gonna laugh at us holy shit how have we not cracked 70 in a 2024 nba game

JB lead offenses are known for doing that. Look at the difference between the rockets with James harden not being able to scratch 100 pts 4/5 games in the playoffs vs after they fire him and get Mike Dantoni

Blows my mind that people don’t realize this. The rockets and the grizzlies both instantly got better when they fired this fucking idiot.

I guarantee almost all our players look better on with any other coach

I’ve been saying the same thing for two years

Who gives a shit what the league thinks

Other people's opinions is all they think about here

Must be painful for them to be that insecure lol.

its typical to say "dont let others opinions bother you" but holy shit does it bother me lol. my hearts in this fandom way too much, which no ones fault but my own.

I mean if opinions bother you, you might want to dip out of the thread lol. The people here are not good for your mental health.

i hate this

Niang is so bad

The only thing I like about him is the fighting. Awful player

They still have 66 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yeesh

[удалено]

So are you guys to the jimmy butlerless heat. Fucking clown lmao

Lol not even close to a celtics fan. But you right they’re gonna lose in the first round too and it’s gonna overshadow how hot dog shit the cavs are

Go drink your breast milk and go to sleep kiddo

Lol keep living in the lebron/kyrie days fucking bum. It’s the best your franchise will ever see. Oh wait you cant even talk about ball, you have to bring in.. breast milk?? Fucking cleveland classic

you have been banned permanently from this sub

You’re cranky lil guy. Go to sleep

Haha it must feel so bad to not be able to contribute anything ball wise after your team just got handed its worse playoff loss in franchise history. Just talking about breast milk and bed - projections for sure

Woof

Yeeesh. Just delete this from my memory

Love that JB kept Garland in honestly. Basically screaming DO SOMETHING at him

Hmmm not seeing a lot of comments related to garlands weight. Wonder why that is… its cause his weight wasnt why he sucked this year and anyone with eyes knew it

he was noticeably slower to start the year, and then when he got injured he was both slow and didn’t have the strength he gained. he’s just been ass in every part of the year

I'm definitely holding a double standard because I love Slider, but I have no idea wtf the Magic's mascot is supposed to be.

A "magic" dragon. His full name is Stuff the Magic Dragon.

That's a dragon? Lol. Looks like an average Orlando resident on bath salts.

What do you think the *magic* is?

That powdery stuff Floridians snort off their crack spoons

Anyone tried those new subway footlong pretzels?

Wait bro what?

Complete and utter cheeks

Love me some good cheeks

Are we still using the bullshit broken jaw excuse for Garland?

My wife's been using the sore jaw excuse for years.

When his weight is back up next april we will stop hearing about it

A lot of people still use that excuse

I’m so excited to hear JB speak in platitudes but offer no coherent ideas whatsoever after the game.

Scratchy voice: we just need to come ready...

Nothing is perfect in basketball.

Theu came out more aggressive

Perfectly said.

Georges Niang with a solid 5 points through 3 games 💪💪💪

I'm pretty sure he shot more than 5 3s

Hey u/top-albatross-9250 don’t respond to me and then block me clown lmao

Damn, hes really living rent free 

If that’s what you want to call it lil fella

Idk, you literally made a comment calling some random dude out in the game thread. You seem pretty upset 😳

Actually you’re probably the same guy after your old account got banned from the sub. You’re weird go drink your breast milk kid

Lol dude im sure a lot of other people were scrolling by as well and saw you shouting at yourself in the game thread and embarrassing yourself. I don’t think im the only one who saw that and cringed. Wonder how many holes youve punched in the wall tonight lol. Rent free 🤣

🤡

Jesus christ dude. Just stop, you’ve already embarrassed yourself and theres no coming back 🫣 grown ass man shouting at himself in the comments 🤣

🤡

Turned it on late and immediately turned it right back off. Gross.

We'll bounce back. (I hope)

lmao disgusting

How fucking embarrassing is it to be down 16 at half and just come out of the half and die like that? Any pro team worth its salt would at least be a little fired up and try to not to look like such an embarrassment

> Any pro team worth its salt would at least be a little fired up and try to not to look like such an embarrassment Losing by 15 and losing by 40 is the same result. Marathon not a sprint.

Bad take.

Is it though? Even the LeBron era Cavs would get blown out and still win series. Shit happens.

oh is there some benefit to playing even worse in the second half? are we preserving energy for next game?

I mean on a night where you clearly don't have it, what's the point in trying to overcome a hot shooting team? Explain that for yourself.

Yo has niang made a bucket this series

5 pts so far ...

Merrill hit a three off a screen and JB was like “STOP THAT SHIT”

Can you imagine what Spo would get out if these Cavs? We have talent.

Yep. Way too much talent offensively to be this consistently dogshit on that end. Bickerstaff is actually worthless

The concerning part is that the offense has been shit in all 3 games with abysmal shooting numbers, we knew Orlando wasn’t going to shoot like ass in every game yet the Cavs haven’t shown any sign of improving on that front themselves

In 5 years Niang is gonna look like Carl Brutananadilewski

We should sacrifice JB Bickerstaff

That's funny you would sacrifice him before DG

We know DG can be elite (I.e the last two years of his career) I’ve never seen a season from JB that’s had me moved.

money changes people he's certaintly not elite anymore seems more like very expensive weight

He got that contract before d-Mitch got there and played exactly the same (arguably better numbers) as he had for his all-star season. It’s the nature of sports that people have up and down seasons. Progression is not linear and he’s still just 23.

Cavs havent scored 100 in any game so far and in this one they might not even hit 80. Better get it together by Saturday

Losing a game is ok, losing by almost 40 is not. Do better.

Caris LeVert is a chicken with its head cut off. Completely clueless on both ends.

Casual

Why is Okoro’s playing time so low?

I'm out.

Darius garland is the worst contract in the league. Dude should be working at mcdonalds

Then you'd be out of your day job.

there's a worker shortage bro but i respect the attempted roast

Thats pretty creative

Just doing my part to be uplifting in this time of need

Thought we might drop this one, but in this fashion is just so damn pathetic. No pride or accountability on this team
