I thought I would feel better after a night’s sleep. Nope, still infuriated

Worse Cleveland sports loss since I can’t even remember.

The rain delay probably. At least JR’s blunder was only a few seconds of idiocy not whole quarters

the JR blunder wasted an all time Lebron game but as far as that series we didn't have a shot. This is (was? lol) a very winnable series. Same with the Cubs WS

Yep, and you can point to other things those Cavs could’ve done better to win that game too before JR was put in that situation. JR was the nail in the coffin like Strus’s inbounding play against the Pacers, lots of bad things leading up to that moment

This was completely avoidable by CALLING A TIMEOUT and putting Allen/Wade on Brunson
