Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

[LordJeffBuck]

Remember these? These were from the Raptors series in 2016, you know, the series they won emphatically before they went on to win the championship over GS. Hyperbole is your schtick when it comes to the Cavs.

Yeah, you're right. Cavs definitely look like a great team right now. No worries. Sunshine and unicorns.

This thread is always so contentious. We all root for the same team, guys.

No one is saying the Cavs are the perfect team, but to use a loss while on a west coast road trip over Christmas as evidence they’re “absolutely awful” is being pedantic. Anyone doubting they’re still the favorites in the east along with the Celtics is kidding themselves.

Blow me dickface!!11!1!1!

Seriously, I think it’s just generally more contentious with pro teams, when guys are making millions it’s a lot easier to have stronger opinions and hotter takes, one way or the other.

Where were you in this thread during their win streak? Oh that’s right, crickets.

Nice debut for I.T. last night, albeit a bit later than expected. Went for 17 points in 19 minutes (6-12 from the field, 3-8 from three) and dished out three assists.

Oh, and check out the pass at 3:15....



He's not yet playing back-to-backs, however, so his triumphant return to Boston will have to wait until February 11th. Next game, and first start, will be against the Magic on Saturday.

He’s a killer on the court but dude’s head is wired a little differently.

That loss to the Celtics was about as ugly as it gets and we didn't even get to see the Kyrie vs. Thomas story line. Disappointing.

Not really a shocking loss considering the Cavs were coming off a back-to-back (and three games in five nights) while the Celtics were coming off a three day break.

In May, Cavs in five.

Yikes.....it takes some kind of shitshow performance to be less interesting that the football game, but the Cavs really came through tonight with this embarrassment.

Really starting to never want to watch NBA until the playoffs. Everything else is a damn joke. Talking about the regular season being irrelevant.

I might watch when they play Celtics, Warriors, Thunder, Rockets and Spurs. Anything else is unwatchable
