Live Thread: Cavs Vs. Celtics
2015-03-03
The former Cavalier, Tyler Zeller, is visiting.
The Cavs face off against the Celtics in just under an hour. The Wine & Gold need this win to snap a two game losing streak. David Blatt was without Kyrie Irving the last game, but Irving is supposed to play tonight. Kevin Love, however, is listed as a game time decision. Apparently, the Big Three are a tag team with one man stuck on the apron these days. Kevin needs to pull some ropes and get into the game tonight.
The Celtics have won six of their last ten games. None of their loses the past ten games have been by more than eight points. They are playing hard for Brad Stevens, and the addition of Isiah Thomas has helped. The Celtics are 3-2 with him in the lineup. He’s averaging 21.8 points and 5.8 assists per game. He’s the scoring punch that might propel the Green guys to a few more victories during the remaining games of the regular season.
Former Cavalier Tyler Zeller is now the Celtics starting center; he averages 9.9 points and 5.6 boards a game. His PER is 19.09. That’s actually pretty decent. Timofey Mozgov’s is 16.08. Here’s a haiku about these two big men.
I missed Tyler Z,
Then a bigger man saved me,
Mozerati, Vroom.
I think this is a statement/bounce back game for LeBron James. He has to be upset about Rockets loss still. I’m predicting the King gets 24 points on 15 shots to go along with 10 assists and eight boards. The Cavs will win, 99-83. What are your thoughts?
DELLY INTERVIEW!
Cavs up by twenty five now,
Garbage time is next!
OK my brave friends
I am leaving my work now
Post forth without me
Thanks for hanging in!
Way to haiku Joey B!
Have a great night man!
Stepping out of bounds
Is probably not the way
how Blatt drew it up
Blatt draws up a play
Presumably not for Tristan
Sad to turn that over
All you can eat seats…
I must get my money’s worth
Colon be damned.
AC goes crazy!
You reach it, I will teach it
LBJ: the MAN
BRON WITH THE SICK STEAL!
Where the heck did the ball go?
BEHIND THE BACK, YO!
Lebron can drive hard
And Lose three teeth at the rim
Never fouled hard enough
Ain’t that the truth!!!
Love is cleaning boards
Every rebound is his,
Just another day…
Love is fitting in
Under appreciated
If that’s possible
^^^^^^^^^^ He’s right you know…
Nate how is the crowd?
Did you rock Delly jersey?
Karma in the house!
vegas line was off
cavs favored by eleven
Cavs cover easy.
Late to the party.
Looks like a good bounce back half.
Hello JR SWISH!
After last crap game
9 of 9 so far at line
Maybe they practiced
Something different
about the offense today
Moving the ball well.
Delly has four dimes,
Cavs moving ball like clockwork,
No sign of ISO.
Go Cavs, but
Too many haikus
So I bid you, adieu!
(Go Cavs!)
Apologies man,
Committed to the haikus,
Can’t stop the madness.
It is like a drug
Even my thoughts are Poems
Slowly losing mind
OK Cavaliers
Too sloppy: Don’t lose focus
Let’s win and go home.
RUDY RUDY YES
Passin it to JR SWISH
Nothing but net there!!!
Cavs up by twenty,
Celtic pride is demolished,
Bill Simmons just weeps.
How did you miss that???
Delly, it was an easy
lay up for two, gosh!!!
Hey Timo, Fred asks,
What is Russian word for dunk?
Moz replies with “dunk.”
I give up. Laughing
Still at work but can’t focus
My day is now done
Is it garbage time?
Joe Harris wants to get in
Start Toronto prep
Love Joe Harris time!
One of my favorite players
Sweet stroke is deadly.
Delly plays too much
His value diminishes
With more than 10 min
Delly has Limits
Why are you ragging on him
when he’s playing well?
Simple foreshadowing
He contributes in spurts
More minutes, less contribution
Timofey Mozgov
Nickname is the “iron curtain”
Timofey Mozgov
DELLY WITH THE OOP!
MOZ DUNKS WITH AUTHORITY!
IF HE DIES, HE DIES!
^^^^^^^^^^ *clap, clap, clap*** well done!!!
Nice work Evil G
Haiki plus rocky IV ref
is automatic win
Boston defense makes
Delly look like a wizard
another lob jam.
Mozeratti Hook
The Big Man Has a Soft Touch
LOBZ GOV FROM DELLY
Really like to see
Love get going and feel good
Final shoe to drop
That was too easy
Mozerati sits in paint
two over midget.
That’s James FREAKING Jones
Who hit that last 3 point er
Mike Miller is Done
This is best so far,
Aspirated my soda,
Computer is soaked!
James Jones is the CHAMP
Just lulled the guy to sleep there
The ball hits no rim.
Lebron has been putting up a lot of attempts up late.
Defense breaks down there,
Nobody home underneath,
Jerebko gets dunk.
Isaiah verse King
That’s Not a Fair Fight At All
Bron with the And 1
one two Delly dimes
critics can be silent now
especially behind me
HAHAHAHAHA… don’t get into another almost fight!!!
We already know
Matthew Dellavadova
Sweats pure excellence
Thomas looks tiny. I’m 5’8″ 145. So I would look even smaller.
Celtics Feared the Drive
Let Delly Lob to TT
Scouting Report Fail
That was just Brilliant, Tom
Yeah that is good work. Especially under the real time constraint.
Delly drops a dime
TT slams it home for two,
Just beautiful, tear…
KLove’s shot looks sick,
Kyrie coming back strong though,
Cavs have crazy boards!
This format is good
Keeps blowouts entertaining
Should use for Browns’ games
Watching Celtics Feed
Fitness Made SImple Dot Com
That’s Still a Thing Wow
So full from hot dogs
And nachos give me gas too
At least there’s soda
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Full Kobayashi
Feel bad for those Around You
U 4 The ISOs?
Nate Smith cheers Haikus
People sitting next to him
Can’t figure it out
Delly on the floor,
Watch out for angry fans, Nate
Beer muscles don’t lose.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I Was thinking the same thing EG!
Defensive goal met,
For the quarter 24,
or less, way to go.
Twenty-Nine Sixteen
Pretty Solid Quarter There
King Plus Eleven
Game already done
Cavs still smarting from Houston
Taking out on C’s
Ollies Bargain Sign
Wow that thing is distracting
How Did They Afford?
Good P N R D
Shump got up for that rebound
TT gets bailed out
Tom is good at these,
Bron is at the line for two,
Nailed them both this time!
I second that thought
Tom is a Haiki machine
Can barely keep up
LeBron with bad iso
Relatively sick shot there
Wet Net Barely Moves
CLF check this,
We are doing haiku posts,
Harder than you think
Although they are hard
It is not more difficult
Than pressure free throws
Wow, EG, just wow,
Such profundity abounds,
Brain is straining now.
All U can eat seats!
I love those kind of seats!!! Bon Appetit!
Nate at the game now,
Cavs: The Blog Karma on hand,
Cavs win in blow out!
Cols once Told me This:
All young players get better
Should Have Told Dion
And vitaly potapenko or Dejuan Wagner.
Vitaly didn’t have a bad career
I agree but I had such expectations for him. Especially in that draft. Of course it was hindsight especially the players drafted after him and Ben Wallace unstaffed. I wanted Nash or Kobe but neither would have been drafted by our cavs.
Sorry I’m late, Cavs are favored by 11 for the record… over/under @ 210. Smart money (almost split) on Boston covering and the under.
What have I missed??? Taking Cavs:the Philosophy to a whole new level??? HAHAHAHA
Defense picks it up,
Cavs on a fourteen, two run
Kyrie looking good!
so busy writing these
and counting the syllables
that i’m missing game
Harden suspended,
For conduct unbecoming,
Don’t kick the King, man.
Okay, you missed that one: don’t kick the king’s jewlz
Good catch Joey B,
That was a better saying
I’ll try harder, man
The haiku format
Should be a super challenge,
Fewer posts from Evil
Fewer posts but more
Content over verbiage
Less is more, always
Good D leads to O
Iso is not efficient
Delly MVP
Sasha Pavlovic
My Offense is My Defense
Mike Brown Looks Confused
Our drunken Poems
Have much more complexity
Thank Mike Brown’s offense
That should say “than” not “thank.”
I actually like “thank” in this case.
Good point tom. Much funnier that way.
Haikus are the rage
We will see if it creates
good karma for cavs
Cavs with the defense,
Moz gets the offensive board,
Kyrie deep in Q!
It’s good to have Kyrie back!
Smith with the nice drive,
Dishes off to Mozzilla,
Big man gets hard foul.
I miss Zeller a little. I think mostly because I was wanting so much for that to be a good pick, that I now want to enjoy the rewards of development,.
KLove in the post,
Kyrie really got fouled there,
Bradley blows the dunk!
Are we going all haiku comments tonight?
You know it Joey,
Don’t stop till you get enough,
Haikus are awesome
Kyrie got fouled on that for sure…
Looks like the full complement of Cavs tonight (minus The Matrix of course…)
Haiku for C6H12O6…
The eighties were awesome,
Matt needs to update his radio,
Billy Ocean is creepy.
Sorry, that should have been…
Eighties were awesome,
Matt needs to update XM,
Billy Ocean is creepy.
I screwed up “awesome” and “radio” … smh
it is going to be one of those night i can tell. the creatives are going to haiku us with humor. lets hope that no cavs (lbj or moz) gets hurt as a consequence.
Okay… I now suck at haikus…
Eighties were awesome,
Matt needs to update XM,
Get out of my dreams…
you guys are killing me with laughter over here with the haiku’s. much needed because on the way home from a school trip the 3 worst songs of the greatest decade in human civilization (the 80’s of course, i am biased) were on XM radio. Stray Cats “sexy and 17” the outfield “your love” and billy ocean “get out of my dreams” i prayed on the way home the boys would not ask about the lyrics because they are all creepy in their own right. go cavs. win by 6 in a game that is too close for a team… Read more »
Man! You gotta get some new XM stations Matt!
any suggestions? my boys like the 80’s on 8 because we get to see the videos of some of the songs on youtube when we get home. nostalgia of course. i get exhausted with the kids jams and anything that has chris brown, kanye kardashian or the same is not appropriate for 6 and 4 year old boys. f
You ever try 1st Wave? More of the 80s Alternative hits… I was always into that stuff so I love it. Also Utopia is good too, but it’s 80s, 90s and early 2000 dance pop.
sounds good. tomorrow morning i will dial it in. it is worth a try
Reggae riddims!!! Music fit for a king! Or it may be called “The Joint” HAHA!!
I second Evil on 1st Wave. Would your kids like the ’60s station? Most lyrics were more coded then… And I like Little Steven’s Underground Garage because it’s more variety/less narrowcasting than most XM stations.
Haiku’s are fun…
Kyrie back tonight,
LeBron practicing free throws,
Refs better not suck.
Awesome haiku DW! Also, is that TZ’s rejected GQ cover shot?
I think it might be a little closer score (especially if they are Love-less). I’d say Cavs win 94-90.
Worries:
Issiah Thomas against a less than 100% KI.
Boston’s bigs against an ill/absent Klove while Moz sits.
Chill pills:
Boston sucks.
Also, Cavs win and LBJ has double digit assists.
