Who put the lid on the bucket in Cleveland?

I looked into the lineups, pace and complete lack of defensive efficiency from both teams and thought it would be a game where both teams were easily reaching triple digits.. Instead both teams are just chucking up awful shots, nobody is running and things are looking awful.

Was I the only one on this over (201)? Looking awful atm

[ball so hard u]

im on it too, these guys just cant score

I see a lot of effort on the defensive end from both teams as well... It's tough to watch! Hoping things will start to open up and the teams will get up and down a little more before half. Suns are starting to get some rhythm it seems, Cle still no.

Yea I was on it..Overtime!

I am on the under ... my calculations gave me 197 total points

I have both teams as top 5 in pace and bottom 5 in defensive efficiency. It was my favorite play of the night honestly. This is brutal to watch

I hear you, they are shooting exceptionally bad.

[Slimpickens]

The Cavs shooting 27% WTF?? Against the Suns? Shoulda figured they come back to reality after playing well against better competetion on the road there last 2.

[MFDoom013]

At least a lot of the times bad offense leads to transition buckets the other way... these are just long, drawn out possessions ending in awful shots and then the other team walking the ball up the floor. Rinse & repeat.

[MFDoom013]

Penetrate it

1 unit on over 99 in the 2nd half.

Surely to GOd this pathetic offensive display can't continue for another 24 minutes

Cavs are one of the worst offensive teams in the entire nba without Irving. Look at their roster.

just my opinion

On paper, sure. But they are still pretty pacey and have been scoring against better defensive teams than Phoenix. Waiters can score, and Pargo has been doing OK as a fill in. They can get easy 2nd chance points as well when Varejo and Thompson are on.

Pretty sad if you have to rely on the 4 guys you just mentioned for points. Those 4 guys with the exception of Verejo can't start on any nba team. Not 1.

Well sure, but that doesn't mean they can't score. Waiters is a rookie that wouldn't start on a more talented team, but he is a promising young scorer. Pargo isn't a starter on any team, but he is a decent scoring option as far as backup PGs go. I'm not here to tell you that the Cavs are an offensive juggernaut... just that they have been scoring points, the Suns can't stop me and you in a pick up game and the Cavs D is also atrocious. If you told me this game was going to start over at 0 and the total was still 201 I'd take the over again.

Things picking up in the early part of the 3rd. May not be dead yet if they keep this up. OT would help lol

Sideshow Bob going nuts lol
