Game Debrief: What Went Right And What Went Wrong?

lol had same fear when i saw the box score. watch the other tapes!!

and i truly do wonder who's doing our scouting right now. like, we have a first round pick this year that, unfortunately, is looking like it might be near the lotto. let's not screw it up again.

 

might be your fault

 

revenge tour game next

but the guy pointing the other way when the foul was called followed by declaring CLE to be someone else's town now.....

Interesting times we are in. All that changes if he decides to call it a career back in Cleveland though. Have to think those fans have a love / hate relationship with him after leaving twice for greener pastures

 

I don't think they really cared about him leaving the second time. They were clearly done winning titles after Kyrie left and with KD in GS. They'd been to 4 straight Finals and won one for Cleveland for the first time in like 60 years. And all that erased him leaving the first time.

I think it's more likely than not that he plays for the Cavs next year.

 

Well, Luka stressed his ankle in the first quarter and went to the back to have it looked it, he was hobbled the rest of the game. Legone played the worst game of his Lakers career.

 

This is a really fair point, I think it’s why we’re so good in the clutch. When we focus in, play high level defense and execute offensively, we’re hard to beat in crunch time. The only worry is can we stay with a team until the 4Q. Our third quarter malaise isn’t great.

 

i had honestly forgotten what it looked like to simply take care of business against a bad team.

 

Luka had a triple double at halftime in DC; Lakers won the 1st Q by 14, so they of course came out in the 2nd Q and blew the lead...oh...no they didn't: they won the 2nd Q by 15, so they were up 29 at halftime. In the 2nd half they stretched the lead to 38 and did not let the Wiz back in, winning 142-111 and really, the 2nd half was pretty much all garbage. Hell, even some of the 2nd Q felt like it.

Luka had 26/11/10...in the first half!

Ayton did not have a bigger dude bodying him in the paint, and that's when he kills: 12 for 14 from the field, 28/13 for the game.

Lebron James had a couple of dunks...then his son dunked. When was the last time...? (Never)

I hope we don't have too much of a letdown against an actual NBA team in the Knicks.

The Washington Wizards can't be as bad as they looked, can they? May as well have been the Washington Generals.
