  Kings had 13 more FG attempts...turnovers amuck or what?

  idk if it's why they lost but shooting 17-34 from free throw is incredibly unacceptable.

  This, make FTs and you win. Also a BS non call Cousins mugging Love at the end of the game.

  Lebron needs to be put in his place and be suspended by the team. IMO he's entering the Allen Iverson distraction level with the way he is causing problems in the organization
  
  This is the team you wanted and begged for and now you want Gilbert to spend more? Come on now Cleveland has a Yankees like payroll

  Suspend him, based on an article by Brian Windhorst citing....sources.
  
  
  
  
  LOL

  He doesn't need suspended, he definitely needs to shut the fuck up and play.

  Making FTs would help.

  Someone explain to me how LBJ can cry about Gilbert not spending money when the Cavs have the highest payroll in the league and pay by far the most in Luxury taxes?
  
  The max salary guy they can sign is for their $4.9M trade exception; is that really going to make a difference when we are losing to the Kings? LBJ advocated to overpay TT and JR and keep guys like Jones on the team and Gilbert complied; but this is all Gilbert's fault?
  
  Makes zero sense.

  Agreed.

  Classy's takes are so horrible, even when he is trying to troll.
  
  Im with everyone else though, Lebron should just STFU. Typical Lebron looking to create drama and adversity in the middle of the season.
  
  With that being said, there is no reason why this team should rely heavily on Lebron every game. Kyrie/Love alone should be enough to win games against the shittier teams in the NBA. It really is inexcusable and an effort issue imo.

  Also, luckily the east has been god awful the past 30 days of bball. Cavs have been shit and they still hold a 3 game lead on top of the East.

  Right?
  
  Raptors have lost 5 in a row. Everything about your previous post is true though.

  I agree completely. He does this shit seemingly every season. So dramatic. They're like a trillion dollars over the limit. What does he think can still happen? Does it serve any purpose to still have James Jones and Chris Andersen's dead corpses on the roster other than they were his friends in Miami?

  I'm saying they get right tonight and win by 20+ vs. Nets, which will jump start a pretty easy stretch leading up to the break. Thunder about only team that is worth anything on the schedule heading to break.

  They damn well better.

  Channing Frye is laughably bad on D. He gets so confused it seems like on rotations then gets pinned and abused down low, it ends up as a swiping foul or a lay in

  Man they are getting hard to watch

  Oh...5-11 in free throws again? Neat. Mental stuff sinking in now

  I turned channel before I thought about it and couldn't rewind....they asked her a question as they come back from break and she replied with "masturbation" instead of another word that ended in "tion" and it wasn't even close....she fixed it quickly but she without a doubt said it on the air.
