The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the week, every six hours. Up is worse. Dashed lines are games.
What happened
The Cavaliers went 3-1 and climbed to 4-2, which the fanbase greeted like a dental appointment. Wins over Minnesota, 127-125, and Washington, 121-111, still drew complaints about a "disgusting" defense. The turning point came in Atlanta, a 111-114 loss where one fan concluded "Atkinson hates timeouts," leaving the final seconds to "figure it out." A 136-111 rout of Milwaukee restored order, though not enough to stop one fan announcing "I hate Arthur Smith so goddamn much." Misery fell from 79 to 60, and three wins in four apparently only cure so much.
What fans said
“I think Atkinson hates timeouts 15 seconds left one timeout remain doesn't advance the ball doesn't draw up a play just says figure it out”
