Live Thread: Raptors @ Cavs

The Cavs welcome the Toronto Raptors as they face off on the shores of Lake Erie in a sneakily important Eastern Conference battle. Both of these teams have not beaten the fraud charges as the Cavs continue to stink on offense and on the boards. Toronto has actually improved their ball movement on offense and are a solid rebouding team. Frankly the Cavs should be embarrassed that they look worse than a team many NBA fans think should liquidate their assets and tank. One of the dumbest phenomenons among Cavs fans is believing this team is better without Donovan Mitchell, who’s the only reason why the Cavs are even afloat after a murderer’s row of opponents that won’t let up until after New Year’s. Those idiotic Cavs fans may get their wish if this team continues to underachieve and Mitchell starts developing a wandering eye.

Another contender for dumbest takes across Cavs’ fandom is the belief that Georges Niang is an upgrade over the dearly departed Kevin Love. Love is playing at a fringe starter level while Georges Niang should be punching his ticket to Chinese Basketball League:

Love remains one of the best defensive rebounders in the NBA and an above average passer, while Niang is merely a slightly above average rebounder and complete clogged toilet on offense. Now would be a good time for the broken down Minivan to get his shit together and start earning that top 175 NBA money.

Since it might seem unfair to target the 9th best player on the roster for criticism, how about Jarrett Allen and Darius Garland stop underachieving as well? DG is getting paid max money and having the same impact as a fringe starter, and slumming around the likes of Golden Turd. Jarrett Allen continues to get absolutely punked on the defensive glass:

You know what would cure these post-Thanksgiving blues? A big blow out against the LeBronto Raptors. Tip off is scheduled for 7:30PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio, Go Cavs!
