What did I tell you about that bum ass nxgga Julius, my breh.

 

[seemorecizzy]

IQ has been absence in this series we can probably afford him now lol

Randle being a bozo…just has to get up there and say “I have to play better, and do whatever it takes for my team to win ..the guys stepped up and made shots today “ blah blah

But he wants to go the diva route

get rid of him and let him put up 27 and 11 in an Orlando jersey where nobody cares

we won and he had a off game
that storming out shyt waa unnecessary
that's two playoff series in a row he's been stinking it up

 

[UpAndComing]

The Cavs getting Mitchell was necessary, but I think they hated that they had to give up Markannen to do it. He would've been a HUGE help in this series.

Oh please lol. Cavs and Cavs fans were ready to kick him out the door and called him a bust. They were completely blind-sighted that he started to blossom in Utah

 

[Ripp]

Where dem RJ haters at now? 2 games in a row he puts on and we win... like I said give dude a chance to develop and become consistent and we have our big 3

 

[Knicksman20]

Bozo shyt, he’s gonna have to go.

Yup; it's exactly why I can stand dude & want him gone. I'll never say anything bad about RJ because he gets more criticism & tries to better himself on the court w/o the bytch tendencies. His mental toughness is severely underrated

Yeah, RJ mental toughness is showing here by proving us all wrong.

The advanced splits should've been a dead giveaway that his game was changing; his offensive rating was the highest he's ever had when he was with the Cavs (until he went to Utah); not to mention he had a decent amount of breakout games which merited a second look IMO.

Yupp. Shame on the Cavs for not realizing that. The NBA media first 20 games of the season like "OMG who would have known what type of player Markannen has become?"

Barkley was right when he said on the pregame show that Donovan Mitchell has to play a LOT better. The game today was winnable if he gives them anything on offense.

 

[CBoz]

I don't see the Cavs winning a 3-1 deficit this time around.

You a foul nikka, breh

Being from Ohio I know when the Cavs are gonna let us down.

Ironic thing about it is, the Cavs, before getting Mitchell, were a fringe playoff team that would've been a major problem in about 3 years as their young players developed. Getting Mitchell accelerated that development time a whole hell of a lot. Whether that's a good thing or bad thing is yet to be determined.

They would have been a top5 seed if Allen doesnt get hurt last year

I understand why they did that trade. There have been literally hundreds of "young playoff teams with potential", and I can see why some teams don't believe in it and want to swing for the fences for a proven star
