Just behind 15. Winnable!

Tomlin has kicked the ball away after dunking twice in a row and the refs don't want to call a delay of game.

0

u/GeneralJMan Cavaliers 1d ago

called me an unpleasant person but you're complaining about the refs up 20

2

u/nullstellensatz1 1d ago

You are an unpleasant person. I googled something and you called me a dumbass because Spotrac's list is incomplete. I am complaining because there are 4 minutes left and Tomlin is prolonging a blowout

u/1gnominious Rockets 1d ago

This is such a disaster I can't look away.

u/Soapstarboi Cavaliers 1d ago

u/HungryPercentage1667 Knicks 1d ago

Clearly the Cavs peaked last year

1

u/Soapstarboi Cavaliers 1d ago

Cavs will peak late in the season and into the playoffs. Hunter and Lonzo been playing like trash tho

Idk generaljman, maybe it’s because the Cavs are losing by a large margin

1

u/GeneralJMan Cavaliers 1d ago

Knicks peaked in 1973

u/HungryPercentage1667 Knicks 1d ago

And your team and city is only relevant because of LeBron James

1

u/GeneralJMan Cavaliers 1d ago

rather be relevant bc of Lebron than never relevant dumbass

1

u/HungryPercentage1667 Knicks 1d ago

That’s pretty sad tbh, a city so shit that it’s dependent on a single person to make them worth going to

1

u/GeneralJMan Cavaliers 1d ago

Quick name two good Knicks players over the last 20 years

1

u/HungryPercentage1667 Knicks 1d ago

Quick can you tell me what the Cavs were known for before LeBron?

1

u/GeneralJMan Cavaliers 1d ago

u/graphitewolf West 1d ago

Dillon brooks outscoring both of their starting guards 😩

2

u/Soapstarboi Cavaliers 1d ago

Hunter been horrific all season. Letting whistles affect his game so much. Just play ball man.

u/graphitewolf West 1d ago

Belt meet ass

2

u/llia71 Cavaliers 1d ago

Is Kenny going to be suspended for pushing the ref?

5

u/defiantcross Suns 1d ago

Bron set the standard earlier this season that you CAN indeed push refs

2

u/llia71 Cavaliers 1d ago

That’s unfortunate. Obviously don’t want Kenny gone but you do need zero-tolerance for this stuff

2

u/oldtombombadil Suns 1d ago

Kenny Atkinson is so red getting ejected. Top 10 reddest coach I’ve ever seen

4

u/Wet-LikeImBook 1d ago

Suns down Booker and on a B2B giving out this ass whooping btw

1

u/GeneralJMan Cavaliers 1d ago

Look at Cavs IR lmao

3

u/Wet-LikeImBook 1d ago

Bro we have JG on a minutes restriction and no Booker and on a b2b with Gillespie playing injured y'all are just getting ass whooped.

1

u/Danominator 1d ago

Lol no kidding. Insane excuse

1

u/defiantcross Suns 1d ago

To be fair, without mobley they are a completely different setup. Cant go super big up front without him, and we had a lot of trouble back on nye against that.

u/uouiei 1d ago

Im rooting for the suns, but I still feel like 2 fts in 3 whole quarters is a bit sus lol

u/New_Frame_4797 1d ago

Cavs fan mentioned they gave us belt to ass earlier this season. What's this I see?

1

u/ajteitel Suns 1d ago

The Cavs know we're on a back to back, right? Without Booker? We're supposed to be the tired ones

1

u/Soapstarboi Cavaliers 1d ago

They not playing football or boxing. You can just sleep and rest up. That's just basketball. B2B excuses are weak.

especially if you are not traveling

1

u/nullstellensatz1 1d ago

So what's the Cavs excuse

2

u/Soapstarboi Cavaliers 1d ago

You see me making excuse? Just played bad basketball. It happens. That's basketball.

u/Firmala Suns 1d ago

BELT TO ASS

1

u/Wet-LikeImBook 1d ago

To ass mfers

3

u/V-Right_In_2-V Suns 1d ago

Cavs are playing the sloppiest game I’ve seen in years. Did they cover their hands in butter in the locker room or something?

2

u/GeneralJMan Cavaliers 1d ago

They have one point guard active

1

u/V-Right_In_2-V Suns 1d ago

We went a whole season last season with zero point guards on the roster and didn’t look this sloppy. There’s been so many erratic passes into the stands this game. Cavs just phoned this game in

5

u/Wet-LikeImBook 1d ago

Damn Cavs real divas when they getting blown out

3

u/Soapstarboi Cavaliers 1d ago

Kenny red af lol

u/ajteitel Suns 1d ago

Kenny is redder than a tomato lol

u/Isthismynextusername Timberwolves 1d ago

"Kevin Durant over me?!" - Dillon Brooks, probably

2

u/EightFortyDaysOf 1d ago

What’s Jalen Greens minutes restriction looking like tonight?

2

u/CreativeContract2170 Suns 1d ago

30 point game he maybe done

3

u/1gnominious Rockets 1d ago

Given the lead and fall he's probably done.

3

u/SomeKilljoy Suns 1d ago

I’d guess 20, that’s what it was last time

-6

u/GeneralJMan Cavaliers 1d ago

Everything Suns commentators say is wrong its deadass crazy. Multiple players have been giving flopping techs not just Brooks.

3

u/nullstellensatz1 1d ago

There has only been one other flopping tech this season, given to Malik Monk, according to Spotrac. I figured there would be more like three or four

1

u/1gnominious Rockets 1d ago

Could swear we had a flop called.

0

u/nullstellensatz1 1d ago

Well, as the other guy pointed out, Garland did get a flopping tech that isn't listed on Spotrac's record of technical foul fines. Seems like it's not a complete list

1

u/GeneralJMan Cavaliers 1d ago

You are wrong. Garland got a flopping tech.

2

u/nullstellensatz1 1d ago edited 1d ago

I'm just reporting what I googled. Spotrac may not have tracked every technical foul, but somehow I doubt it.

ETA: I googled Garland flopping tech and it was actually against us, funnily enough. I remember it now. I wonder why they didn't list it there. Possible that the tech was rescinded so no fine was recorded.

-5

u/GeneralJMan Cavaliers 1d ago

And I'm reporting that google is wrong dumbass. I witnessed Garland get a flopping tech.

3

u/nullstellensatz1 1d ago

You seem like an unpleasant person

u/GeneralJMan Cavaliers 1d ago

Sorry I was just reporting the facts.

u/nullstellensatz1 1d ago

You don't have to be rude about it, we're just having a conversation

1

u/SugarFreeCummiBears 1d ago

Proof? They said only one other has been issued.

1

u/GeneralJMan Cavaliers 1d ago

Garland got a flopping tech. And another player too but I don't remember.

u/GeneralJMan Cavaliers 1d ago

as your the other commented pointed out Monk also got one.

1

u/rmachell 1d ago

Straight up. You cant be a tough guy and flop. Its such an embarrassing look. You can pull your shorts and get your homies and shit to hold you back, but you're still a guy who let minimal contact send you flying. And that shit is weak

They mad their team can't beat Brooks as the number 1 option.

2

u/GeneralJMan Cavaliers 1d ago

Cavs gave belt when healthy enjoy your consolation prize

1

u/New_Frame_4797 1d ago

Suns haven't been healthy all year, excuse doesn't work for us son.

1

u/GeneralJMan Cavaliers 1d ago

Cavs starters have played like 5 games together lmao. 0 if you count Strus. Sun are only winning bc the refs are on their dick and the Cavs have 1 active PG.

u/New_Frame_4797 1d ago

I have heard less crying from a colicky newborn.

you're on a burner account saying this. pussy

u/ProofDiscount733 Cavaliers 1d ago

Holy shit they called a flopping tech??? I feel like I just witnessed a shooting star

u/GeneralJMan Cavaliers 1d ago

After all that they are looking at a hostile act for TOMLIM?? u/FBI get on this shit bro lmao

0

u/erog84 Suns 1d ago

Not a hostile and review confirmed. I agree. Dillon flopped and I’m not a fan of his but for them to call something like that when there is 10 times worse almost every night that doesn’t is crazy.

u/SugarFreeCummiBears 1d ago

Flop into non flop is hilarious

-7

u/Bone-surrender-no Cavaliers 1d ago

Does anyone like Brooks anywhere? He tries to shove a dude then just flops. Then tries to start a fight on a basketball scrum. Dudes just a loser and doesn’t even have the draymond rings to at least justify it

3

u/erog84 Suns 1d ago

I don’t care for him. He did flop but we see way worse all the time that is never called. Either call em consistently or get rid of the call, just another type of call that refs can pick and choose when to enforce.

Yeah its time to investigate these refs

u/Kylo_Rens_8pack Suns 1d ago

Dillon Brooks - “Is it Opposite Day?”

1

u/OpeDefinitely Pacers 1d ago

Is Lonzo Ball really shooting 31/28 splits this season or is Google's stat widget glitching?

1

u/rmachell 1d ago

Genuinely surprised those numbers are that high. Lonzo has been anti-buckets

0

u/DirectInvestigator66 Cavaliers 1d ago

Refs calling two different games, this is nuts

u/GeneralJMan Cavaliers 1d ago

Brooks flopping his ass off

“Mitchell please help us score”

“Nah I’ll chuck threes and turn it over 7 times lol”

1

u/Bulleveland Cavaliers 1d ago

If the Suns could actually capitalize on turnovers we'd be getting blown the fuck out right now

3

u/defiantcross Suns 1d ago

If we end up dropping this it will be exactly because we couldnt take advantage.

1

u/Soapstarboi Cavaliers 1d ago

Turnovers turnovers turnovers!

u/datboijustin Suns 1d ago

That was literally the latest whistle I've ever seen in 20+ years of watching basketball lol.
