Live Thread: Cavs @ Warriors
2015-01-09
Cavs take on the best team in the NBA tonight. After Dion helped the Thunder defeat the Jazz tonight with 15 points, 50% shooting, Â and four steals. Let’s hope J.R. Smith steps up to the pressure to match his production.
Meanwhile, Tina Fey Mozgov joins the Cavs tonight, having passed his physical. Â Can he help Cleveland slow down the splash brothers?
JVG just took a shot at the coach. “Kids close your eyes… This isn’t how you run a fast break.”
It was really ugly, he was right as usual.
I don’t think it was so much a shot at the coach as it was a shot at JR, Love and Miller and how they handled it…
That Golden State team is a pleasure to watch. Cavs playing good ball though thus far. Doubt they can keep up with the Splash Brothers.
Did LBJ get that get up out of Wiggins’ closet??
LOL the “cracked iphone screen suit”
Nice hustle Lets go CAVS
Iggy is the ONE guy on GS who should NEVER take a three pointer
JR just RAINING FIRE
Has Love touched the ball in awhile? It just seems like no touches
But JR can just keep shooting
TT needs to get his head in the game. He’s taking some bad shots
Waiters got 15 points for Okc today.
Saint Weirdo looks like he’s fitting in nicely in that highlight…
Although Durant nearly knocked him over with that celebratory chest bump
Warriors are really loaded they have too many scorers.
Ouch, that was a painful missed oop there… TT looking out of sorts, although to be fair that wasn’t the best pass from Kyrie
Man, ALL of these GS guys can shoot the ball well. It’s crazy
The pace is killing Mozgov lol.
He’s playing a lot more than I thought he would for first game…
That move by TT was just too easy to block
Yeah the Cavs off-ball guys need to move. They’re standing around while the guards dribble, jump, and pass
TT with the nice pick off there. And if Kyrie had hit that last drive it would have been the shot of the season…
Warriors are good at picking off long passes.
Or obvious ones like the one Miller just threw
Not sure what Joe Harris is doing playing ISO ball right there…
Promising first quarter. I know it’s GS, but Cavs still scored 32 with some good movement offense
Listening while driving but it sounds like everyone is here to play, fired up!
Delly not realizing that the Mule has only been on the team for 30 minutes and doesn’t know the alley oop off the drive play yet
When did Delly learn how to hit a layup??!!
He’s normally good with that floater.
Not so much lately though. Nice to see him hit it
His shot/lob always looks the same. It’s weird how similar all his drives are when you watch them.
Good D by the rookie on that play
Ah, tough when Herculoids hit shots on us…
Floor spacing is SO much better for Cavs so far
And the ball movement too. Inside-out/strong side-weak side sequence a minute ago to set up a Delly trey.
Damn JR is on fire!
JR IS ON FIIIIRRRREEEE!!!!
There’s gotta be a t-shirt company in Cleveland making Moscow Mule t-shirts.
They look so much better right now with JR and Mosgov in the game.
Cavs call time to let Mozgov recover from his attempted corner closeout on Thompson. Gotta say, it was a game effort from the big guy.
Got to love the new additions…… Can’t go under the screens against their shooters.
It’s insane how fast the Warriors will pull a trigger on the three ball. It’s so hard to defend.
There is NO argument about the best backcourt in the NBA. The Splash Bros are HANDS DOWN the BEST by a Golden Gate Bridge length…
guys I’m in love with a large Russian man….
Nate! A round of White Russians for all your friends at the Lizard!
Tom’s buying!!!
THE MULE!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, Curry’s shot is just so pure…
Trades are looking better and better
I LOVE how Mozgov goes straight up for rebounds. He looks like something out of an old Tecmo video game or something.
With JR and Mozgov, it’s almost like we have a real NBA lineup all of a sudden.
JR is heating up…
GREAT steal by Kyrie. And a nice three from JR!
Nice move from the Mule! Too bad he didn’t score, but like the intent!
Draymond Green never should have gotten that ball.
That’s got to be satisfying for Mark Jackson to get that kind of reaction from the fans
Nate, at the risk of borrowing a bad pun from a great movie, you should order yourself a White Russian at the Winking Lizard in honor of Mozgov…
Once the guards realize they actually have someone who will at least GET IN THE WAY in the lane, hopefully they’ll close out the Splash Bros on the perimeter better…
Mozgov is more man in one toe than Love is in his whole body.
WOW! Mozgov didn’t even seem to leave his FEET for that board and shot
man it’s like – WE HAVE A BIG GUY
Nice o board by Mozgov!
At least they really seem committed to getting the ball to KLove on the block this game.
I feel like Kevin Love has looked more like Anthony Bennett in the post than Kevin Love. What is going on
Here comes Mozgov with his hammer and sickle
Wow, these guys just look twice as fast as the Cavs…
Well the Cavs look like they’re going to get blown out of the gym.
Klove must have heard your disparagement David. He’s looked decidedly more manly on those last possessions.
Lots of guys up late on the game thread! I love it! Just after work for me for a change…
Draymond Green is not gettng a max. ESPN commentators are nuts sometimes.
Love Curry, but didn’t he take about four steps on that fast break?
Did KLove just shoot that off of the underside of the backboard?
Love is looking like a little lady out there.
Or in Nate vernacular… Brian Austin Ween
TT just got DESTROYED by Draymond Green
JR SWISH gets of the schniid
JR Smith hits his first shot as a Cav
For the record, Nate, Wiggins with a little more human 6-17 for 20 ugly points tonight against Bucks. Still 7 boards and 5 assists though.
Dion is number 23 now, he is now officially channeling his inner Jordan. I hope JR unties some shoes/invents a new antic to get fined for and to rev the unity of the team up.
Cause #3 was taken, but still awesome
Hah. Thanks. You guys are the best. I’m a little lit at the Winking Lizard right now.
Dion with a nice line tonight. 7-14 for 15 points/3 boards/1 assist and 4 steals. Didn’t see the game, so don’t know how many fade away long twos he took, but he only turned it over twice in 27 mins of play.
Nate with the back to back game threads! Strong like Russian Mule!
Go Cavs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
