Cavs/Nets Game Five ... FINISH THEM

[swerb]

Please God, no sleepwalking. No overconfident half ass performance. No settling for jumpers LeBron.

Finish these guys ... Im gonna be in NY for game seven, I'll freak if it comes to that.

[consigliere]

(in my best impression of the Cobra Kai sensei in the Karate Kid)

"Finish them!"

[swerb]

[consigliere]

Wow. How 'bout dat?

Not everyday you get see "The Karate Kid" and "Mortal Kombat" referenced in an NBA basketball game.

[consigliere]

24-18 after one quarter in favor of the Nets. I can't watch the game, how the Cavs look?

[StewieG]

Cavs getting called for a TON of offensive fouls.

[StewieG]

Dear Larry:

STOP SHOOTING

[swerb]

Jesus H, four offensive fouls and ten turnovers in the 20 minutes of the game?

Cavs do not look sharp. They don't look like they have their killer instinct tonight.

I don't like this ...

[StewieG]

Well, the good news is Laura can't play any worse.

[Guest]

Their defense is garbage tonight

[StewieG]

Everything is garbage tonight. They just aren't there mentally.

Hopefully Roker gives them all a tongue lashing in the lockerroom and they come out ready to play. Because they certainly weren't in the first half, save for Z and maybe Sasha.

[consigliere]

Man, this is what just drive me mad about this team. This is the PLAYOFFS guys. If ya can't get up for the playoffs, I don't know what to say.

I expect the Cavs to come out fired up and smoking in the 2nd half.

[StewieG]

Wish we got new refs at halftime. Awful. Simply awful.

[StewieG]

David Stern needs to stop worrying about players walking 10 steps from the bench and start worrying about the quality of referees in the league. If these guys are good enough to referee conference semifinal games, I weep for the league.

[StewieG]

1 for fucking 14? Are you fucking kidding me?

STOP SHOOTING YOU FUCKING MORON. MY DEAD GRANDMOTHER SHOOTS BETTER THAN YOU DO. AND SHE CAN'T MOVE HER WRIST. JUST STOP. IN FACT, LEAVE THE ARENA.

[consigliere]

61-43? WTF is going on?

[CLEfan86]

How do you not show up for an elimination game in your own place? Were the Nets just going to give up, I highly doubt it. Way to go coach Brown and Co. being ready for this game.

[StewieG]

Laura and the refs. That's what's going on. They can't drive towards the hoop without getting called for an offensive foul. And they're just not even trying on defense. And Laura has already missed 13 shots. Yes, that's right. He's already missed 13 shots.

[Guest]

6 minutes left in the 3rd, Lebron has 5 Fgs
That sure doesnt help
Choke job
No killer instinct

[StewieG]

Fuck it, I'm done. If they're not going to try, and the refs are going to fuck us in the chance every possession on both sides of the floor, I'm not watching this.

[Mr. MacPhisto]

This game would be a lot closer if Laura stopped shooting the bloody ball when she clearly isn't "on". I'd rather see Gibson playing in Hughes' place.

Good Lord, Big Z is the only guy who decided to show up tonight.

Though I will say that a few of those offensive fouls were iffy. No excuse for how flat this team is. No heart at all.

[consigliere]

Holy shit. Down 22?

Are the fans booing them off the court? Anyone care to remind the Cavaliers this is not the regular season when you can just mail games in?

[CLEfan86]

From Mike Brown's mouth according to the TNT announcers, there was no need for a motivational speech, the Cavs know what to do. Oh really Mike, down 22 on your own floor is an embarassment.

[Guest]

Once again they thought they would just show up and win.
Bulls vs Nets anyone?

[swerb]

This team makes me sick sometimes.

Play hard and lose, I'll never have a problem with that. This shit
tonight is disgusting.

The mock cheer when LeBron took the ball to the hole was great. WTF
is he waiting for? For us to go down 30 before he starts trying?

The Cavs are still going to win this series, but them taking nights off in the playoffs every time the game isn't a must win is seriously disheartening.

[swerb]

Down 17, 8 minutes left, heres whos on the floor ...

LeBron, Snow, Gibson, Donyell, Varejao

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

one word for this game


















LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





i will not be surprised if we lose this series

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

this is funny



players who are making millions cant me a free throw


guess they wanna go fishign instead of win

[consigliere]

Is the score right? Both teams have scored a total of 8 points in over 6 minutes of action in the 4th quarter?

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

that it larry!!!!!!!!!



come on comeback!!!

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

aw never mind


they suck again


no comeback here

[leadpipe]

The winner of this Series has to play MUCH MUCH MUCH better to even be in the next series. Playoff basketball shouldn't be like this. After the initial two games, the Pistons win games 3 thru 5 by 20 no matter which one of these teams they play. Are these teams trying to get us ready for the WNBA lid-lifter?

[Dozen]

Worst officiated game thus far................The NBA wants this to go 7

[hermanfontenot]

Two hours of our lives wasted, and we will not get them back.

The officiating tonight was horrendous. We were homered on our own floor. What disgusts me the most about it was that Milk Dud-Head never got T'd. When your ballclub is being screwed, you as the coach have an obligation to get your ass out on the floor and get a tech. Unforgivable that he didn't.

If I was Bill Walton, I'd call that... thing Larry did tonight, the worst individual effort in the history of professional basketball. Our problems offensively begin and end with the fact that, a.) we don't have a point guard, and b.) the guy playing the point guard position is brutally, horribly ineffecient and can barely dribble.

Awful game. Fuck it. We can still finish the series in NJ Friday.

Please God, no sleepwalking. No overconfident half ass performance. No settling for jumpers LeBron.

Finish these guys ... Im gonna be in NY for game seven, I'll freak if it comes to that.

The legend of the CSML anti-hex lives on in The Cleveland Fan forms.

Buff can explain.

I simply wish to add: Cavs, are you freaking kidding me?

[jb]

I can't watch the game...

Lucky you.

When Laura is bad, he's aweful.

Bron was like Will Farrell in "Old School" when he got hit with the tranquilizer. I think he saw Blue.

No D at all. None.

[happybluebird]

Nothing worse than your team not even showing up to play! They were just awful. Larry (Laura?? I must have missed something!) got booed on his home court in a playoff game! I couldn't BELIEVE he kept shooting! I mean sometimes it's just not your night!

It was just a crappy game all around. Nobody stepped up (Z was the only one that had any success at all). Brown never changed the game plan, never went deeper on the bench to see if anybody could help change things around. Very disappointing. I had looked forward to that game all dang day.

And Lebron darlin'....marry the girl. When your home forget about basketball, and when your on the court you have to be thinking about basketball and only basketball.
