Didn't know you now own the team. 
...and they played zero defense!!!

So you did watch the game? Did you watch the 4th quarter, when their defense was actually pretty good?

Of course not. He always talks based on emotions and how he remembers, the problem with memory at that age, is it's clearly not so good.

He probably watched the highlights and saw they were all 3s and drives

Probably just saw the final score...

You mean the quarter they gave up 30 points?

[jj1000]

@EJB ya, only read the box score.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Let me see if I have this straight. They are down by 1 going in the 4th quarter. They played such great defense they needed to score 32 points in the forth to win? 

[EJB]

Yup, only box score. How about point per possession? How was that?

[ChaimMoskowitz]

How about hotdogs eaten during half time? How was that? 

[jj1000]

I define defense by watching the player.

Do you need some crow to help this one go down?

[ChaimMoskowitz]

I need to eat crow when you think giving up 30 points in the forth quarter is playing good defense? Has your great experience playing the game taught you this?

You get a double portion of crow today.

1. Putting totally made up words in my mouth that you won't find anywhere in this discussion.

2. You said you only judge defense based on watching the players but you keep going back to a box score to judge a teams defense.

Mj probably is better than lbj at flipping bottles on the hardwood 😂

Completely avoided the questions as I expected.
I used numbers because that is all you n00bs look at. I have seen many CLE games this year. They are one of the worse defensive teams in the league.

I agree that they’re on of the worst
1. Not Bc of lebron
2. Not last night
3. They’ve been trending better and hopefully that’ll continue, as it did last year at this time

I did answer the question, try reading again. You asked "I need to eat crow when you think giving up 30 points in the forth quarter is playing good defense?"

To which I gave 2 reasons why you have to eat crow.

So you are saying they didn't play good defense in the 4th quarter?

Look they shot 60%+, even on 3's and barely won. If they played good defense they would have won by 20+.

How much would they have won by with TT, Nance, Hood and Korver?
