  Even worse 3rd quarter. I don't think we have anything to worry about. Top 5 pick, here we come.

  Yep. Cavs will have those games where they play good teams tough, then they'll have games like this.
  
  Scott didn't even play Kyrie much... Just 22 minutes.

  Do you think Brown should have sat Kobe more in the 2nd half of the Heat game? 4:53 of the 6:52 that he sat came in the 2nd quarter. 19 point game to start the 4th. IMO, he could have sat the 4th and been more rested for the game last night against Orlando. From what I have read(or maybe heard on ESPN last night, I do not remember which, but am looking) the coaching staff wanted Brown to sit Kobe but Brown didnt do it.

  The story I heard said Brown wanted to sit Kobe but Kobe refused to come out of the Miami game. Kobe looked great against Orlando, the rest of the team not so much, so rest didn't seem to matter in the Miami game for Kobe.

  Cavs over last 10 are 3-7. Keep this hope and we wont have to worry about not picking in the lotto.

  Don't see that happening lol..
  
  I don't care though, I picked the Heat to win it all this year. After we beat them at the Q last season I stopped caring...
  
  I want what's best for the Cavs and that's another top 5 pick. Kyrie and T2 continue having solid games/improving and we add another piece, we speed up the rebuilding process very quickly. We're going to have a great amount of cap space next season.

  I'd love to beat the Heat, but I don't see it happening. Cavs are in a spiral.

  [h=3]LeBron Continues To Mentor Cavaliers Rookies[/h]Jan 24, 2012 10:17 AM EST

  

  Kyrie Irving is off to a fantastic start to his career, an early frontrunner to win the Rookie of the Year Award like LeBron James did for the Cavs back in 2004 and has been getting advice on dealing with life in the NBA from the man he is essentially replacing. James has been watching and doing plenty of encouraging.
  
  “We talk a lot; I’ve been knowing Kyrie since he was a ninth grader and it’s been great to see him continue to get better over the years and do the things he’s doing in Cleveland right now,” James said. “He’s been playing great. He’s been showing why he’s the No. 1 pick in the draft. Cleveland got a great pick.”
  
  James has known Tristan Thompson nearly as long. Thompson selected one of James’ best friends and business partners, Rich Paul, to be one of his agents. For James, that virtually makes Thompson part of his extended family. The feeling is apparently mutual.
  “Me and LeBron’s relationship is pretty close,” Thompson said. “He’s like a brother to me.”

  POS is probably trying to get them to come to Miami or which ever city he tries to force a trade to following this season when the Heat don't win the title.

  Or someone is feeling guilty for leaving. I think he realized he made a huge mistake and thinks he is making up for it

  This. LeBron continually talks about Cleveland.
  
  He tweeted during one of their games that he was watching it and talked about how good Kyrie and T2 looked.
  
  It's obvious. Even when he announced he was leaving he made mention of the fact that he "could see himself playing for the Cavs again one day."

  I'll be the first to respond. I hate what lebron did. It was literally like getting stabbed in the heart. BUT I wanna win!!! And lebron gives them the best chance to win. And if he came back after having 3 straight years of solid
  Lottery picks, they'd e sitting pretty. If he came back and won, id be fine being called a hypocrite. I just wanna win!!

  But can you win with him...I am talking when it counts? I am not so sure. Add in all the shit that he demanded from the organization....I am fine with him taking his circus somewhere else

  Can't be worse with him. Losing fucking blows!!! Lebron won 66 games with pretty much no help. He NEEDS to be the focal point of the offense I have no problem with that. Miami looks better without wade, because it puts lebron in a situation he's comfortable with.

  Yeah, I get that...and the great regular seasons were cool, but as we learned....playoffs are a different animal. Can't win with him dominating the ball and quiting when things get tough.

  Ok point taken. But I'd still rather winning regular seasons and getting into the playoffs rather then getting higher into the lottery.
• lhslep134

  

  I agree with Midstate....never forgiving Lebron James is still not as good of a feeling as winning a championship and IMO anyone who says otherwise is not a true Cleveland fan. If Lebron gives us the best chance for that, I'm all for it.

  I agree, it would take me awhile but if he brought us a title I'd be OK with it. I think it's going to happen, I don't know why either, just a feeling

  Lebron isn't Lebron when shits on the line.
