Cleveland’s collective reaction watching last night’s game
Not many words can sum up last night’s game better than a good Kramer gif. That game was an ugly all around affair. Both teams couldn’t shoot, both teams played physical, and both teams didn’t get many calls from the refs. But in the end it was a 25 foot bank shot by a guy who’s never made a big shot in his life that did the Cavs in. Can’t even be mad at that. You just have to laugh, tip your cap, and move on.
Let’s look at the game tape
Need LeBron in attack mode all game every game from here on out. The stare down was a nice touch as well.
Alley oops to Russians from halfcourt are my new favorite thing ever
LeBron dunked on Joakim Noah’s soul then Noah proceeded to talk shit to him. Very confusing to say the least. In other news is there a bigger fraud in the NBA than Joakim Noah?
Cardale liked it
Thought this make by JR was the shot that would send the game into overtime
Until this bullshit happened
If it wasn’t against the Cavs I’d like this video of the shot set to Kanye West so much more.
Let’s also not forget that the final inbounds play was verrrrrry close (it was) to being over 5 seconds.
Couple quick thoughts
– What a way to lose a ballgame. It’s OK though. The Cavs 2 best players underperformed and it still took a 25 foot bank shot buzzer beater to beat us. This series is farrrr from over but last night was definitely a swift kick right to the nuts.
– Whoever Mark Schwartz is… well, he’s an idiot and Kyrie’s reaction says it all.
– Someone please tell Timofey Mozgov to start playing like he’s the biggest guy on the court. I know the refs weren’t calling anything but he’s gotta be stronger than that.
– Jimmy Butler’s last basket was a travel and if you don’t think so you’re blind.
– Man. I hate typing this but Kyrie was a liability in the fourth quarter. You could tell his foot was bothering him and he just wasn’t himself. If it’s crunch time and the Cavs need a big defensive stop I’m not sure I trust Kyrie on the court with his injured foot. (Feel freely to copy and paste this and rub my face in it if I end up being completely wrong)
– The Bulls had 15 more rebounds and 13 more second-chance points than the Cavs. That’s pretty stunning considering how things went in game 2. Serenity now!
– It sucks that Coach Thibs finally realized Nikola Mirotic should be playing a lot more than he has been.
– We split at home and splitting on the road is considered a victory. We CANNOT go down 3-1. Not even the least bit concerned however.
See you guys on Sunday. Cavs in 6.
