Great game! Too many missed ft’s for the Cavs.
Kevin love had the yips, LeBron letting it fly!
Lol the yips – exactly right
Hahaha ha. And that’s why he’s LeBron.
Bangggggg LBJ!!!!
Amazing how bad Lebron is at free throws
OOOOOOHHHHH. James makes me a liar & I love it.
Argh. Love still recovering.
come on Bron, we need two FTs here!
Man. Love has had so many chances.
Love doesn’t have it tonight.
Let’s get a hoop here!
LeBron missed box out give Aldridge a dunk.
Do you always harp on the leagues best player?
Do you always act as apologist for him? Wait, I know the answer…
You do.
He has been lazy most of the night
Greedy O there from Kyrie. Poor glass work. Six again.
Irving sick tonight. Just sick.
Good recovery. In it.
Really not happy with Lue’s coaching tonight. Feel like he’s missed a lot of patterns
James indeed is getting out played by Leonard tonight. And the turnovers to start the 4th when we were up 5 changed the momentum
Kawhi is the MVP.
Again the Cavs defense has to get better. They can’t even get the key stops they used to get last season to beat the top teams.
Kwahi took LBJ and the Cavs to school tonight.
Sorry I missed the first three quarters. Was catching up. This game is ticking me off. Feel. Like LeBron waited too long to start giving a crap.
So…sorta. Mainly just the turnover bug combined with us not having any backup bigs worth a damn. We’d get crushed by them in the finals right now cuz our bigs get too tired
Not the game I’m seeing. It’s mostly free throws, turnovers, and lazy d by Bron.
Mainly the ft’s if you asked me.
Put Shump & Liggins back in & let Kyrie lead.
This is a awful way to lose. Kevin Love is the opposite of clutch
Fair result. Spurs are superior to us. Even missing two starters to our one. More length. Move the rock more. If we lose, it will the first game we lost when leading after 3 quarters.
Cavs rebounding hasn’t been great.
Been atrocious!
Ridiculous call on thompson
LeBron always gets too many turn overs against the Spurs and Warriors cause he is always trying to force passes that just aren’t there.
Love had 3 good looks at missed all three.
Down 9.Slip sliding away.
Spurs cranking up the d on us
We are missing a lot of wide open shots as well
Dang. Love in & out. need a stop.
Mills really almost got that charge called. I’m shocked they didn’t call it. Spurs have a lot of soccer weenie in them
Frustrating game. LeBron’s D has been so epically lazy.
He’s also been unstoppable on offense
Down 6. Closing time. Let’s get to it.
Need M4Q this game
Good. Stop passing. Dribble and score.
There we go! Hammer down. Down 4.
Sit Lebron. Dude is killing us
21 points. 7 assists. No LeBron and we are getting blown away
Count the turnovers bud
As usual, Cols wil only acknowledge the numbers that support whatever argument he’s trying to make. The anti-scientific method.
We need to discard this lineup, now.
Spurs playing ISO. That’s how we should be playing.
They have 27 assists. Wake up
Kawhi > James. Yes, I said it. AT least tonight.
Haha tonight sure. But it’s really not that close yet. Call me in June.
Yeah. It’s like people forget the Finals.
Depressing that with Lebron out there we keep losing ground and with Kyrie out there we came back. Shows how much buckets matter more than so much passing
Cavs passing way too much.
Guess you beat me to that
Frye is so soft on defense. If he’s not hitting shots he becomes a huge liability for the Cavs.
Basically…defensively, he’s the big man version of KI…..
I’m honestly surprised anymore when Kawhi misses any shot when he has some space….
Lue get this lineup changed. It is probably -25
Spurs are overplaying the 3PT line & making Frye/Jefferson/Korver make a move. Plus James keeps turning it over. We may have to go to the starters again. Or at least Ky & Kev, soon.
This lineup is getting killed again. 17-2 to start the 2nd. 9-0 to start the 4th. 26-2.
Very maddening he trotted out those four together with James again
We had the rock, up five to start. That’s gone. Down 2.
This is the lineup that kille us in the first half
The James TO machine is On, 7.
I love how Ty Lue got Shump & Liggins in the knick of time there. We had a weak defensive group in there. He read our minds! LoL
Grit. Heart. Toughness. This team is so much fun.
Shumps confidence is sky high right now and that’s great for the Cavs.
PS: just don’t dribble too much please lol.
Homecooking with the refs
Shump with a dance & three! Up 6. Great rejection from TT & moves from Lue for the end of quarter.
Shump
Kyrie with good D there. Good move from Lue getting Liggins in w/Shump.
It isn’t just TT. Kyrie has missed 2. Love 1. Frye 1.
Ky hit Kev that time & he missed it. Ky for hoop & harm there. We are 7-14 from the FT line.
Love the heart from this team
They are competing hard.
Tt from the line is a hot mess. Hes shooting worse every year it seems. More practice less kardashian?
Great hustle by cavs
Ginobili keeps flopping and to make it worst he got the foul call on his favor geez
Love had Manu pinned in transition & Kyrie missed it. Then Manu flops. That’s what he is a SG in my mind. He though pass 2nd.
Agree that pass was too late
Dead on. Love had an easy post up
Gritty game by Cavs
Terrible call on Love
Floperific….
Spurs flopping all over.
James out. Still has 3. Danger time for us. Manu 3, down 4 with 3 left.
Unnecessary move from James nets a TO. Stuff cooling off some.
TT is stinking from the line. Love looks stiff walking off.
Kev comes through with a 3.
