Who cleans up the webs that Spiderman swings from??? Like does some poor janitor have to go up to the 80th story and spend hours picking them from the windows???

yea this really might be wemby’s 07

Glad I got to watch my team for so long this year. Really love so many of these guys, such a fun era of Cavs basketball, (if this is the end). We’ll be back.

[Samuel Srivastava @SamnSrivastava]

Yeah kinda knew it was over after Game 1, and I think I’ll have a tough time looking back positively on the season for a while. But it also gave us 2 really really fun (if stressful) series, a lot of great postseason moments, and a conference finals berth, embarrassing as it was.

[Samuel Srivastava @SamnSrivastava]

Think fatigue got us in the end, definitely our own fault, but still. Jarrett Allen Game 7’s, some awesome Jaylon Tyson/Sam Merrill performances, Nae’Qwan Tomlin for like 2 weeks jump out as some of my favorite moments of the season

[Samuel Srivastava @SamnSrivastava]

Worst we’ve played through 2 games so far. Just lacking effort. But that can change. Win 1. Figure it out

[Samuel Srivastava @SamnSrivastava]

I expected to lose this game, wish we didn’t lose it like that. I really think we’ve been serviceable to ok for 6/8 quarters, but the other two were just insanely insanely bad. Don’t understand a lot of the rotations, think there was a ton of shot variance, but just dispiriting

[Samuel Srivastava @SamnSrivastava]

I also think we can still win this series! Someone needs to come out angry next game. We just look exhausted and lazy, no close outs, and that has to change. Need to see more bigs, and need a big James Harden game. Our process was better, results were really bad.

Clearly we can hang. Insanely demoralizing game, but still one game. Need to want it way more next time. Embarrassing embarrassing embarrassing.

[Samuel Srivastava @SamnSrivastava]

Frustratingly clear that Atkinson viewed this as a feel out game. Embarrassing collapse. Already gone through the 5 stages of grief about it. This one’s on Harden and Kenny. Can’t believe we blew it. Most painful loss in recent memory. Just can’t close out

[Samuel Srivastava @SamnSrivastava]

I believe we can do it. Games 3-5 showed us we can. We gotta come out swinging. Let’s go Cavs

[Samuel Srivastava @SamnSrivastava]

Weirdly thought we looked worse in Games 1 and 2. Obviously the results are worse, but just no urgency or energy, which is permanently frustrating. No bench production, Donovan sucked, too many turnovers, beat off the line and on the boards. Gotta show up huge in 7

[Samuel Srivastava @SamnSrivastava]

Our bigs are permanently the bright spot. Need more. Harden intentionally missing threes in favor of foul baiting is mind numbing. Thank you Sam for showing up! Paul reed was really good, gotta figure him out by Sunday.

[Samuel Srivastava @SamnSrivastava]

But I refuse to root for my team to blow it up. 5 games left. Win 1 first.

[Samuel Srivastava @SamnSrivastava]

I still believe the Cavs can win this series. 21% from three is gonna do you in every time. 0/11 in the fourth. Losing the offensive boards. Need something to change in a big way.

[Samuel Srivastava @SamnSrivastava]

I can’t lie this is the most doomer I’ve been about a series since Knicks 2023. There have been so few glimmers of hope/competency. We CAN do it, we have the talent, we just have looked so bad for 6.5/8 quarters. Need people to get angry and heat up

[Donovan Mitchell @spidadmitchell]

[Samuel Srivastava @SamnSrivastava]

Need the bigs to get more involved, but I liked our ball movement (outside of harden iso possessions) a ton

[Samuel Srivastava @SamnSrivastava]

“Scheduled” loss ig, but still feels like we should’ve had it. Defensively (besides rebounding) was pretty happy w our job on Duren + Cade, just really need production on offense + cutting down on turnovers (Harden please). Having more Allen will help. No more Thomas Bryant pls.

[Samuel Srivastava @SamnSrivastava]

@9819_vishie We will average 24 turnovers in perpetuity and no changes will be made
