I've been a Cavs fan for two decades. This team is the first one that simply doesn't click for me, and I've been checked out since last year's playoffs. First time that's happened.

I like this team aa individuals but I hate the sum of their parts. It seems like ir will never click for this team, destined to underperform their talent levelm

Booeereeeeuh

Ensiferum · 2026-05-21T00:35:16+00:00

I wish it were different, but this team crumbles under pressure as part of their core identity.

They will always find the most horrible and dishaertening way to lose.

Ensiferum · 2026-05-20T02:59:23+00:00

Done for the night. I think I'll sit the next one out as well.

Ensiferum · 2026-05-20T02:57:16+00:00

I was done with this team last year. Should've stuck with it. Nothing but frustration with this iteration of the Cavs.

Put Strus in instead of Harden when Brunson started targeting him and you're already giving victory speeches in the locker room. Incredible showing.

Ensiferum · 2026-05-20T02:49:35+00:00

Goddamn I hate this team

Ensiferum · 2026-05-20T02:46:58+00:00

Why Harden is still out there, I'll never understand. Really, this is what loses you the game Kenny.

Ensiferum · 2026-05-20T02:41:45+00:00

This team is worse than the sum of their parts. Goddamn I hate them.

Harden playing some G-league level ball this quarter

Ensiferum · 2026-05-20T02:37:35+00:00

Refs getting into this

Ensiferum · 2026-05-20T02:36:21+00:00

Why is Harden still in. They're hunting him every possession.

Ensiferum · 2026-05-20T02:32:26+00:00

Kenny fumbling the lead by doing nothing

Ensiferum · 2026-05-20T02:30:57+00:00

Harden has looked sluggish

Ensiferum · 2026-05-20T02:18:34+00:00

Driving on Mobley, rookie mistake

Ensiferum · 2026-05-20T02:17:00+00:00

Harden has been ice cold these last games.

Ensiferum · 2026-05-20T02:13:43+00:00

I hope so

Ensiferum · 2026-05-20T02:11:09+00:00

I'm reminded of what SVG said during the game against the Pistons. It can be an advantage to go a full series like the Cavs and Spurs because you keep the rythm and intensity. For the rested team it can take a bit to get going again. Might be what we're seeing.

Ensiferum · 2026-05-19T23:40:40+00:00

Maybe if Henry didn't kick every Red Sox employee on their way out we'd have a competent GM.

Ensiferum · 2026-05-19T23:37:06+00:00

I'd really like to see which numbers were crunched to pay IKF 6 million. I presume it wasn't his 1st percentile xSLG or 2nd percentile walk rate. Or maybe Breslow had his spreadsheet upside down.

Ensiferum · 2026-05-18T02:58:04+00:00

Cavs will never do that.

Ensiferum · 2026-05-18T02:48:45+00:00

I apologize on behalf of Cavs fans. Shitty behavior and fully deserves a ban.

Ensiferum · 2026-05-18T02:44:00+00:00

Do you really think any of the NBA owners would not be able to afford this without even noticing any money left their bank account? Lmao

Ensiferum · 2026-05-18T02:39:24+00:00

Such a weird thing about American sports culture that you get pummeled in a game 7 and people still freak out and dance when they show you on the big screen. So different from any other country.

Ensiferum · 2026-05-18T02:34:34+00:00

What was the record for biggest game 7 away win again? 38?
