  I see failwedge has realized no one will respond to him re: the Browns so he's brought his retard trolling to the other threads.

  He's shooting 49%, he's not Kobe or Melo lol. He will end the season at probably around 53-54 probably,once the team gets more chemistry and he gets healthy it will go up.

  He isn't a rookie you dumb ass.
  
  But yea..if Delly cant even hit shots like he has before, there is no point in him being out there. The reality is he has to be. Just like Lou Amundson, AJ Price, James Jones, and Brendan Haywood. There just isnt a lot of depth.

  @SpearsNBAYahoo: Cavs say LeBron James is expected to be out two weeks with left knee and low back strains.

  Terrific
• wildcats20

  

  I think I saw 7 games in that 2 weeks, with some pretty tough ones.

  I knew that was a wrong number.
  
  @mcten: Cavs games over the next two weeks: at CHA, DAL, at PHI, HOU, at GSW, at SAC, at PHX, at LAL, at LAC. Would be tough even with LeBron.

  I see 4 wins

  He's been hurt all year, pretty obvious to see.
• Classyposter58

  

  Cavs might be below .500 after this upcoming stretch. What a fucking joke

  Like he did before? When did he ever make shots, dumbass? He sucks defensively too and a turnover machine.

  49% is nowhere near the 57% he shot last year...a number that neither Mello nor Kobe ever sniffed. He shot well over 50% every year in Miami.

  51% the first year. So no, he didn't.

  Escaped Charlotte tonight.
• Rotinaj

  

  Waiters and Irving were a combined 16/48 and Mike Miller has only 1 fg attempt in 21 minutes. Solid game.
• Pick6

  

  Figure about all wins we snag without LBJ will look like last night.
• Commander of Awesome

  

  We didn't play well at all. Thank goodness Jefferson was out, or we would have gotten raped. We are not a good team.
  
  Also Love only got what 2 or 3 looks in the 4th qt? That's not good enough.
• Laley23

  

  No one should be surprised. FootWedge said the title was a lock and LBJ was an idiot for saying Bulls were better right now.

  Yup, I tried to tell him to shut the fuck up, but the curse was already planted. Footwedge sucks. This could be a good stretch for the Cavs without lebron. They are going to have to learn how to play as a team or they will sink badly. I hope this turns into a stretch of games where this team develops some toughness, because they sure fucking need it.
• Commander of Awesome

  

  TT right now is our rim defender, and toughest player. That's not a good thing. We need to trade waiters and get a wing/rim defender.
  
  Curious on people's thoughts about the Love trade now, few months into the season. Would you still do it?

  Haha thanks for asking the question. I wanted to but figured I would be blasted for it.
  
  We all know my opinion on it, and that hasn't changed since the trade.

  I actually don't recall your opinion, but I figure your thinking was similar to mine.
  
  Asking the question isn't QQing about the outcome, and it's too early to know long term what the correct answer is, but I like taking a temperature to gauge ppl's opinion throughout the season.
  
  To answer my own question, I wouldn't have done the trade at the time but I understand why they did it/felt like they had to do it. I'm pretty disappointed in the results thus far, and more disappointed in Love's pouting on the court. Off the court he's doing/saying all the right things. However he acts like a bitch when he doesn't get the ball. After his article before the season started, I expected more of a team player attitude from him, and more effort on the defensive side. He whines when he doesn't get the ball, and shows a very inconsistent effort on the defensive side. I know he's not gifted athletically, but his effort at times is abysmal.
  
  
  Without LBJ, this team is still talented enough to be a top 2 seed in the NBA. I underestimated the effects of a new coaching staff, team chemistry (hard not to based on Miami's instant success, and frankly Kyrie/Love >>>> Wade/Bosh) and the east is getting better. Not doom and gloom, this season can be saved, but this team has to sack the fuck up. Still too early, this season can still be turned around (though honestly I don't see it). Without a trade, or a serious attitude change, this team won't go far in the playoffs.

  I'd still do the trade, in a heart beat. bennett has proven to be a scrub, and wiggins is filling out the stat books with empty stats on a terrible team. And his calling card, has been very sub par.
  
  Most people understood that Loves stats would drop as he's the 3rd man.
  
  Regarding the struggles, doesn't concern me that much. Would be a work in progress, let's check back in April.

  I am more concerned about an attitude change than finding a big right now. I figured the culture would change with Lebron, I just see more bitchiniess coming out of everyone.
  
  As for the trade, I wouldn't have done it then and I still wouldn't have done it. I think the cavs have the same type of year they are currently having without making that trade. They had all the leverage in that trade and they bent over for Minnesota is what pisses me the fuck off. Wiggins might have empty stats now, but I think he will be a good player in the NBA. Still has a lot of upside.
