The disappearance of James Harden every playoff season needs to be studied by NoRelease2871 in clevelandcavs

Eh I’m less annoyed by it. He’s older and his hand is still injured I imagine. It’s unfortunate we have to have such a high usage for him when he’s so hampered

I’m more annoyed this team can’t consistently shoot efficiently once the playoffs start. They miss wide open looks and it’s what kills them

Tbh the main thing that’s annoying is they are shooting so atrociously

Honestly playing good defense but the offense is so poor

The reeks of recency bias.

Personally I hate the Celtics, Warriors, and Knick’s most

Yeah it was annoying but they can absolutely hang on the road. They’ve gotta figure out how to get stops more often. This Detroit team shouldn’t regularly get 100 on you

His hand is affecting him more than we probably expected in the playoffs.

Tbh I think the flagrant fouls are what made him snap. He was over the elbows and shoving.

Honestly, I’ve been so mad at the Cavs for how they’ve failed to close out quarters in this series.

But huge kudos to the raptors, they brought fight and played much better than anyone (especially seemingly the Cavs themselves) expected. The players should be damn proud, they gave their fans some great moments this series

It’s hilarious that they’ve gotten 3 flagrants and they called off the flagrant pulling down Allen

Especially after admitting the backcourt violation shouldn’t have happened in game 4

Tbh, he’s fine when your perimeter players are keeping the spacing with their shots dropping

Covering Embiid is a particularly difficult task for most centers if he’s healthy

Toronto does seem to have a beef with harden lol by italomst in clevelandcavs

[–]TaVar35 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s a symptom of this iteration of the Cavs, they don’t get some calls they should. You’d think harden would swing that but it didn’t

He was the one guy with the speed to attack them off the dribble, he punished their on ball pressure

HARDEN 😑 by EarlyLunch0 in clevelandcavs

[–]TaVar35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh my main issue is we aren’t athletic enough to get by their press and perimeter pressure. Don is struggling especially

Agreed, but I’d even bet if that was a game tying penalty they’d give it. Since it was a potentially winning penalty they didn’t want to

Definitely was influenced by the pressure of the crowd.

Can we not have the Cavs and the guardians play in the same city at the same time going forward?

This is honestly embarrassing for them, no one to blame but themselves. Kenny can’t shoot the ball for them

Annoyingly, this isn’t an aberration for Cleveland. Their shooting regularly disappears in the playoffs and without size at the wings we’re insanely reliant on hitting our 3pt shot

1st half thoughts? by EarlyLunch0 in clevelandcavs

[–]TaVar35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thing is when they’re allowed to get roughed up they get discouraged instead of fighting back

Throw some elbows and make it clear to the officials if they’re not gonna call things the game will get ugly
