Well, I think that is just him giving praise. A lot of people were saying to play Frye more and he would be a key, etc. Lue seems like he knew that wasn't the case before game 1. So he was prepared for it.

I really don't get a lot of the Lue criticism. Try coaching when the other team has all the good players.

bahahahaha

reporters using nicknames like 'splash brothers' is a bad look.

I mean, pretty clear at this point the Cavs are super overmatched. I don't think they'd be faring any better with Blatt.

I actually think Frye hasn't been horrible in the very limited minutes he's gotten. Maybe I'm missing something. But re Lue: the lineup that concluded the 3rd was a total nightmare and he stuck with it when it was clear very quickly they wouldn't stop anything.

The Woyas are just really damn good.

Frye can't play against a team that switches everything. Same reason okc would crush these clowns.

I haven't seen a lot of Andrew Wiggins this year.

How is Cavs history different if they don't make the trade? Going into next year they would be in a much better spot, but what about for this season?

Great to see some of the in depth analysis that goes into profitably handicapping NBA.

you got ritterrolled

cavs subreddit is tickling me:

Initially liked Lue, but not anymore. He is just like Blatt. Everything that brought us to this point has been thrown out the window.

1. 3 point shooting - Where is Channing Frye? Why isn't JR smith not shooting?
2. Ball Movement - The damn isolation and always going to Lebron. Ball movement creates confusion and eventually opens up the shot. Instead its ISO LBJ.
3. Speed up the game. I read that was the plan for this game. Bull****! If this is speeding up the game, I'm lost. They run across the half court then everyone gets set and things slow down.
4. Drive and pass. Where is that. LBJ would drive, diss to a shooter... they had a whole article about how effective it was... but now its completely been abandoned.
5. Utilizing the Bench - Back to where is Frye or Delladova? Its a rotation of the same 7-8 guys when you have a full bench. Use your bench!

Everyone is getting to a spot, standing there, waiting. How about these ****s try to create misdirection, move around, cause confusion which would lead to a pass and easy score. Are the Cavs even running plays?

Seems like JR lose all his confidence. And they are not running plays for him.

Could be worse. You could be pivoting back to the Browns.

Cle -1 for gm 3 if anyone was wondering

Love in concussion protocol

I'm not saying he is coaching perfect or anything but TT had 4 fouls, Love was out with injury, Frye has really struggled. Could he coach better? Sure.

Not that many bullets in the holster for Lue tho

True that. **** the Browns. But... sometimes it feels the seasons where your team has no chance of making the playoffs are easier to swallow than repeatedly losing in the first round of the playoffs.

I'm not the guy to reply to

John Ritter gif just made me lol

bet the kids college tuition

if lebron pulls this off they weren't meant to succeed

Same place, Wiggins isn't there yet. If it was Kat(say he trades ages and drafts with Wiggins) they probably win easily both years.

Well instead of lolove they'd have a dynamic wing defender who's nuts in transition and is a massive upgrade over lol shump.

Wiggins can't shoot yet and isn't he a good 1 on 1 defender but still struggles with help and team D from what I have seen. Still would fit better than Love but probably doesn't make a difference this series. Would be >>>>>>>> as an asset though obviously.

It's just tough to keep the hypothetical to those 2 players as well. Who knows if the Moz/JR/Shump deals happen, do they get a FA last summer, etc

Love has a concussion. That was immediately pretty obvious to everyone except apparently the Cleveland doctors. They didn't even evaluate him at halftime wtf

Lol Calves

i think curry and thompson are better ths year. and lebron is worse.

Love is probably just really high.

It's so painful to watch lebron try and find a way to get within 1 foot of the basket because he has no jumper

too bad love has already developed CLE
