    Disappointing win....which is still MUCH better than a disappointing loss.

    Only 3 TOs for the Cavs, 24 more shots (WTF), we came out without energy and we almost lost. Thank god they are this awful.

    Our pace wasn't good, our D wasn't good for the most part and LeBron continued to clank clutch FTs.

    We are stringing together wins but I don't like how we are playing.

    No consistency from any of the Young Core.. Starting to be more & more in favor of a Mid Season Trade..

    Well judging by how many bad losses the C Bags and Rockets and other teams that were supposed to be elite are having...I guess I can't be TOO mad about this...I woulda been irate if we LOST this game though.

    But seriously that wide open 3...that was KCP's fault. Just got lost on the screen and didn't communicate at all with Zo to switch. Just horrible defense.

    Oh WMC...Ingram and Kuzma.

    Also...clanking FT's from LeBron (but he is the least of our problems)

    Stephenson taking stupid shots constantly and getting burned defensively.

    Luke Walton with that ridiculous 4th quarter lineup...nearly cost us the effing game.

    Luke trying to go SMALL once again nearly costing us (WHEN WILL HE LEARN?!)

    I can go on...but the Cavs did hit some ridiculous contested 3s all night which were pissing me off.

    Former Lakers killing us per usual (and then reverting to what they actually are lol)

    Ingram's mid-range clunkers...Kuzma misssing wide open 3s again...

    Did I miss anything? Oh having to com eback from down 9 in the 4th quarter to barely win this game and relying on LeBron once again...

    gotta be happy with the win. but you're doing something wrong when a s***ty team like cleveland has zero turnovers for the majority of the game.

    i'm generally a luke supporter, but man...your coach has to be burning that stat into your brains at halftime. those guys were too comfortable.

    WMC

    We signed Lebron, have multiple #2 picks, and are currently behind the Clippers in the standings. Even after they lost CP3, DJ, and Biff.

    I didn’t see that coming

    The Cavs game was embarrassing. It's not much of a win when your young core gets outplayed by Jordan Clarkson and nobody's even surprised.

    Yikes, this game against Utah was definitely one of the ugliest I've seen in about a decade. Horrific turnovers - 23 in all. Not acceptable. Still, even with all of that we got the W so I can't complain too much. 4 games above .500 and hopefully not looking back.

    I have had so many moral victories the past few years

    I take the ugliest win of all times way ahead of the most amazing loss in mankind history.

    Give me the ugly wins... Can't get enough of them. That's what good teams do, win ugly rather than lose beautifully.

    The turnovers were frustrating but I'll always welcome a win.

    For sure. Last few years these would have been losses. Shows this team is doing what it takes to get that w.

    BUT, WMC: turnovers, turnovers, turnovers. And free throws. We’re fortunate we have Lebron to take us over the top because Utah was capitalizing on most our our mistakes. Gotta take care of the ball!

    I like winning these ugly, sloppy games. Bron, BI, McGee and Zo allcontributed and this is how you develop chemistry. I am tired of the old inexperienced team not being able to close. These guys are tough! But the WMC goes to both Lakers and Jazz: that was tough to watch.

    Free throws, 11-18, and turnovers, 23. We clean that up and this game is an easy win.
