It's seriously gonna be irritating if we have to see them picking in the top 5 again. |

Yeah he's the worse I've ever seen. It's Lebron's greatest accomplishment winning with that numb nuts. |
My opinion of LeBron rises every time I see Mike Brown coach.

| new NBA rule needs to be enforced, if you are in the lottery for 5 years, you get no pick for the following year or better yet, no profit sharing. |

DOESN'T MATTER; THEY'LL PROBABLY PICK SOME LOSER THAT NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD OF. |

| I'm predicting that the Cavs roster will look very different during all-star weekend, they are gonna clean that mess up in a big way. |

it wasn't just Irving. He sat Deng and Thompson also. The team is actually worse than uncoached. I insulted YMCA's everywhere previously by calling the Cleveland O "YMCA like". Miles was the only guy penetrating, only because he is a vet with some common sense. Everybody else was just freelancing.
At some point is there not some integrity of the game type stipulation that kicks in as to that sick, sorry joke of a franchise. Previously they were responsible for the institution of the Stepien rule. Should there not be some sort of Gilbert rule put in place, limiting how often one can get top 5 picks in a certain amount of time, to prevent the sort of travesty we saw tonight? I made my 2 younger kids stop watching, as the integrity of the sport was seriously violated tonight. |

The rumored NBA draft proposed change to a wheel system definitely sounded intriguing and might stop all this tanking stuff. |

Yeah it smelled badly. Why do teams like the Lakers have to share money with a franchises that are not even trying to win. |

He had to have gotten the call from above to tank. No reason why Irving should have been sitting.....but he is also a terrible coach

CAVS MADE 38 OUT OF 101 FG'S (37.6%). THAT'S JUST PLAIN B-A-D!!
LAKERS DEFENSE DIDN'T CAUSE THIS, CAVS JUST SUCK!! |

| Seriously that whole game was ugly. Either Mike Brown is just a horrific coach, or Cleveland just doesn't give a (bleep) if anyone knows they are purposely tanking to try and re-do their god awful pick of anthony bennet. Regardless that was literally just a joke of a game |

This tank job by Cleveland wasn't even subtle.
Tanking can be on a strategic level (example, Phili) where they trade off productive players, or on a tactical level where the coach intentionally throws games per the direction of the front office (Cleveland). Boston does both. |

I love that phrase when Charles Barkley says it. I mean how bad is bad? Speaking of bad...Cavs...really?

That is what I have been telling you guys all season. We are rookie tankers going against real pros.
