  • Constantly and unapologetically negative

    These guys are extremely negative.

  • So ridiculously negative.

    We added a future star. Garland is clearly improving and 22. Allen is a top 10 center in the league. And sexton is at the very least an efficient scorer one of the best spark plugs in the league. And okorro has solid potential. We could easily make the play in. Bunch of eyores and Debbie downers. Keep on living in self Flagellation and misery guys. Pathetic.

Q: What do the Cavs need to do on the court, scheme-wise, execution-wise, and rotation-wise?
