For a team with 3 'elite scorers' we don't score a lot do we.....
Our main guys waste too much time when they get the ball. A ton of time. And when they get the ball, everybody else just watches, nobody moves. Saucy calls Durant a parasite, but feels much more like a virus.
Yeah, it's like all 3 take turns at going Iso whilst everyone else watches.

Suns 17 turnovers, Cavs 5.

That says a lot about the offense and the defense.

Good thing they didn’t have Mobley, otherwise this could have got ugly!

EJ made some good points on how dumb cross court passes are and how often they do it. Makes you rally wonder why Bud can't hold these guys accountable for continuing to do it.

Because KD is apparently untouchable. It starts with him

The parasite is not coachable, and it starts with him. He bogs the entire system down.

Imagine thinking this would have went any other way 😂

Nick Richards with a monster 4/4 in 30 minutes 😂

Players in NBA History to record 20+ PTS, 10+ REB, 85+ FG%, and 0 TOV in their team debut, followed by 4/4 in 30 minutes in their next game:

Nick Richards.

That’s the list.

I don't think anyone really expected a win. Maybe a few expected a closer loss. But it's not even that we lose, it's how bad we look losing. You're not going to win every game and there are obviously better teams out there. It's just the depressing offense, worse defense, body language, turnovers, lack of awareness, hustle...everything.

Cavs by 20.
I appreciate the conservative margin predictions.

Let's how these 2 minutes go until halftime. Suns will either hang tough or let go of the rope.

The diff? Can Cavs fans not do math?

They don't learn subtraction until college in Cleveland.

First quarter - Not so bad.
Second quarter - Not so good.
Third and fourth quarter? Forget about it!

This is embarrassing.
Cavs show why they have the best record in the L. They hustle for rebounds. Suns don't. Cavs got a ridiculous surplus in shots compared to us.
