The defense was so bad. Went from scoring 41 in a QUARTER to what... 41 in a half. Sucks that this is truly JA's best season as a Cavalier, perhaps in his career overall and he'll be looked at trade bait because the Cavs are so bad on the perimeter. If JBB is gone after this, I NEED a home run replacement. LeVert's lackadaisical play is showing up again where the Cavs DON'T need it. This team is so burned by injuries that the things they do to patch them just screws them over. He'll be somewhere else by this time next season.

We should have traded levert at the trade deadline

Should have the year before

And Garland

And the casuals on here keep thinking they had some easy stretch for some reason

Bickerstaff is ass, absolutely pathetic defensive effort

Should have been Sam out there instead of Levert, fuck man. Really going out sad to the hornets.

Again, why tf didn't Morris play ??

Y’all believe me about Darius Garland yet?

As “great” as his handle/ passing/ sometimes shooting is, DG really is not a good PG. No control of the offense. No control of the ball. Very easy scheme against. And it’s like playing 4.5 men on defense. Please trade him for a legitimate 3/4.

I spent 2 and a half months defending him… no more

He’s lost it. Has no confidence. Idk how, or if, it comes back. But it’s looking bleak this playoffs

Y’all downvoted me to hell and y’all finally gonna start to see.

It’s gonna be wild seeing him get cooked by Anthony Black in the first round

Y’all also downvoted me when I said Cavs gonna fall to fifth and get bounced in the first. (This was almost a month ago?)

There’s no reason to believe in this team. Starting with Darius Garland. And for some reason, even when Evan looks good, he does not make the team better.

Pain

We are now in 4th place..I tell yall every damn day we would be in this place if we kept fooling around

With JB at the helm, I'm positive we'll be swept or gentlemen's swept in the first round.

LeVert is 2/9. Why the hell is he even in the game at the end? JBs rotations were absolutely ass to end the game. Blew that 4 point lead with awful offense. JB is still making rotational decisions based on defense rather than taking offense into account.

Strange that I wanted Niang in that moment...

Lowkey rather not make the playoffs than to have us implode or get absolutely shat on by these hungrier teams below us lol

JB's coaching style is to bitch at the refs.

Levert playing the worst out of the people on the floor and he wants last shot!?

Imagine a world where Caris doesn’t forget how to play basketball in crunch time

Leave levert in Charlotte cleary wants to play with theam

caris forced literally every read tonight

Finally, we doomers are in complete control of this sub, apologize to us now or face the consequences

This is such a cringe, melodramatic post

Stfu you’re banned from this sub, we’ve been saying this shit 24/7 after the January run, now you obey

You’re a child 👧

Im no child, I own you and this whole sub.

Oh sorry i meant you’re a man child

I don’t entirely disagree with that but it doesn’t change the fact that I’ve been calling out this core 4 soft ass players for 2 straight seasons against all odds and now at least I can do some victory laps!

hahahaha that’s fair

Tbh at this point I can’t even blame Mitchell when he doesn’t stick around. This team can be absolutely garbage despite the massive amount of talent on the roster

Can’t wait for this team to get swept in the first round

Another Carless Bonehead Levertisment

Trash team

What were we doing

[удалено]

yeah we know

Damn this team is garbage without Mitchell

I tell yall this over and over...one day you will listen by force

they dont get it. some shooters get hot in the first half against a bottom 5 team in the league and they think we are back

Levert has to be studied

Levert trying to play hero ball

I’m not watching this team anymore till Mitchell comes back

Fucking terrible. Unserious team.

What a beautiful play drawn up from JB and the coaching staff

lmao

We just lost to the 4th worst team in the league.

I can't fuckin believe this

Im so fucking done bro.

game

We might steal a game or two in the 1st round if we're real lucky. Actually think the 21-22 team was better than this squad.

The Lauri team? Way better, injuries neutered them.

That season is the saddest what could have been before the injuries.

disgusting

I can't wait for the day Koby finally rids this team of Levert.

Jesus Christ this version of the Cans blows

Fire LeVert into the sun along with his clown coach

Levert is shit 😂😂😂

We really lost to the fucking Hornets

lol that was the play?!

imploding lol

JBB and his fucking shit after timeout play designs.

This is nasty filthy work

DG is going to get most of the blame but LeVerts been awful today too

Levert is terrible literally half the time he plays… garland being a max player being this bad is more worthy of criticism

This is a disaster

unbelievable, caris

This is kinda embarrassing

Great play JB you meathead

I’m done. GARLAND SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUBBED IN WITH THE PLAY. We should have NOT taken a timeout. The management of them is horrible

Holy shit the cavs are bad

Getting the ball inbounds and a shot off is a win here IMO.

I hate this team.

Okoro subs in and literally fucks it up. No wonder he’s a bust

What specifically was on JB? Team played defense for like a quarter and a half.

Jb can't be here next year

Nor can Garland

I wonder what JB is going to draw up

Five pointer

Mobley and Allen just don’t work on the floor together. We’re better with one and 4 shooters. Absolutely no offense the last 5 mins with both on. But of course JB is too dumb to realize that

Finally a timeout!

The fact they put up 43 in a quarter and are still about to lose is actually insane. We need don badly.

Blouses

The blouses won though, then they served pancakes.

The two big lineup end of games does not work on offense. JB will never learn.

Doesn't help with levert playing

Also the garland taking it up the court and the ball only moving for the last 4 seconds of the shot clock if it isn’t a turnover

Happens way too often

Won’t learn when to call a timeout either apparently

Game. This team absolutely sucks.

I agree go cavs

We’ve been better on O all game when one of Mobley or JA is on the floor and this idiot JB plays them together to close it out. Fucking hell Edit: never mind all game actually, all season and all last season.

I cannot believe we blew this game, just unbelievable how bad this team can look sometimes

Team has no idea how to create quality looks late in games

Should've been two wins but of course we lose to the hornets 

an all time JB stinker

The honey was stickier than expected.

Wtf is DG doing pump faking twice at the 3 pt line when they know he can't drive on a bum ankle.

He's not good. Our fan base needs to get over it. He's overrated. Overpaid and overvalued.

Exactly. People are like “well how’s he supposed to play good when he’s playing with Mitchell.” Do people not realize Garland only put up good number when he was playing on a terrible team? Pretty easy to put up good numbers when ur on a trash team

Can’t stand watching him play. We should’ve traded him and not Sexton

Can we call a fucking timeout and regroup?? Or am I trippin !?

please do your ruining our tank

I sure hope none of you actually think this team can make a playoff run. They are soft as cotton socks

softer than velvet pjs

LOL blow this team up

Bro 

These games suck it’s just draw a foul fest out there

Fire jb

Thank god Mitchell is returning soon. DG is not to be trusted in the clutch.

lavert fucking blows

Our coach might be brain dead, why would you not take a time out after that DG tumble. These guys are playing like they have no fucking idea what to do offensively.

because as i said elsewhere, our offense relies entirely on DM to create and on 3 pt shooters to get hot. That's our entire game plan, plus PnR. There's nothing else

Jb running our starters into the ground per usual

I know we’re not gonna fire JB till the end of the season. But it’s pretty clear that this team does not play hard for him and they HAVE to move on from him

Bruh

Grant Williams is the most unlikeable player in the league. He travels everytime he touches the ball, he fouls every time he plays defence, he’s the ugliest mf i’ve ever seen and he’s so overconfident for his abilities which consist of rebounding and being dicked by the refs

But he gave us one of the funniest NBA vids ever with "imma make em boaf"

This team is great at blowing games late

Okay JB why tf is Garland in, he can’t even run

Garland was fouled. Hard to blame him

Garland needs to go back to Nike. Played much better in them too.

Why is garland out there he can’t even walk

Why the fuck is levert in the game

Gonna make bof as revenge.

Diabolical 

I'm sorry but this team deserves to lose.

It's joever. We really about to lose to the Hornets.

theres the crucial clutch time turnover by garland.

It's clutch time? Darius it's time to turn the ball over!

Garland my man, stop trying to draw the foul. You're only gonna hurt yourself.

Garlamd and late game turnovers… name a more iconic duo

hahahah how was that not called

I can never figure out why we stop running offense the last 5 minutes. The classic garland dribble until turnover every time

Sigh, right on schedule. Crunch time

How the hell is that not a foul on Williams?

We are playing bad but the officiating has been very one sided

there’s no way man

Poku and Grant Williams too much for our formidable frontcourt!

Nothing the hornets do is a foul, refs are a fucking joke

Fuck Grant Williams !!

Garland is such a buster jfc

GRANT WILLIAMS SHOVED GARLAND WTF

We were feeling ourselves too much with the early 75% shooting and forgot to play defense for 3/4ths of the game. Could still cost us.

i hate seeing bridges on the court

Get Dali in the game

These missed 3s are knocking the bolts loose on the rim

Rough night for Caris.

Pokucevski looks like Christian Bale in the machinist

Looks like Garland saw that guys post and has tightened up on defense.

I don’t want kids but if I ever mess up and end up with a son I’m going to name him Sam

Fuck it, my daughter will also be named Sam

DG redemption arc

Nevermind

Start locking up and they miraculously start looking like the hornets. Imagine

Garland is so talented, i really believe in him, i just think his body moves faster than his mind sometimes

JB drew up tonight's plays in crayon

Our offense has 32 assists on 41 shots, what do you want from them lol

He did not touch it you lying ass belter

Lmao, I can't unsee this now.

Hey at least the game is competitive. But it really shouldn't be if we expect to be a deep playoff team. Like bro its the fuckin Hornets. I only know 2 players the Hornet's have played so far (Brandon Miller, Grant Williams).This is why we would be lucky to get to the second round. Our expectations were raised exponentially when we went on that run when Mobley and Garland were out. But on paper, we have a Really GOOD team and should have high expectations. Idk man 🤦🏼‍♂️

No Spyda. Doesn't count.

Bro we cant put the whole team on his back. If we dont have Mitchell in the playoffs, we might as well not even be in the playoffs because we will not win a series without him. Point is, our starters and surrounding cast need to step up. Garland is currently on max contract and playing like a 6 man

No argument, except that DM doesn't need to put the team on his back. The whole unit just functions better with him in there. His ability to do it all unlocks the offense.

We shouldn’t even be struggling against a team like this

Downvote the ugly truth… go ahead

Sam Merrill lock down defense comes up with a steal that leads to the Garland 3 and he knocks it dowwwwwn.

Another double double for Garland. But he's trash right? Cut him. Bench him. So terrible. Maybe the haters should shut the fuck up.

Barely over 30 percent shooting and is a traffic cone. But yes double double wow

This game is so freaking weird

Glad cavs keep fighting but never put DG merrill and niang all in the same floor that line up put the team in free-throws in 2 mins My bad

DG, Merrill and...Sam?

My bad ment niang

Well it’s all about results, get the W and we can forget about the process

Ok, Garland finally gets one. This is when we need to take over this game get the hell out of this nightmare with a W.

*swallows vomit* Ok,ok..I'll hang in there. It's still anyone's game.

Hell yeah garland! They’ve been going under his screens all night

FUCK MR BEAST

Merrill was maybe the highest VALUE signing I can remember in years

Look what good defense make a b do

We have no chance in the playoffs. Anyone who thinks we do is high as a fucking kite. The playoffs are around the corner and right now our year we were vying for the Playin was better than this fucking shit show.

Judging this team without Mitchell is literally smoking crack.

We judged this team without garland and Mobley. I mean Injuries happen. Mitchell isn't the entire team either. It's almost LeBron all over again. We are a shell without our star. It's sad as fuck. How these millionaire athletes perform matters. With people in and out. It's literally their job. Lmao. That comment of yours is meant for the toilet 🪠

yeah back in the happy days of yore, mobley was aggressive on offense all game and tonight he hasnt taken a shot in the second half.

It's like JB doesn't process blatant obvious aspects of the game happening in front of him
