Live Thread: Cavs at Raptors
2015-03-04The Cavs travel to America’s Cap tonight to battle the uneven Toronto Raptors, who have lost seven of their last 12 games but notched impressive victories against the Clippers and Hawks. Â Kyle Lowry has been struggling and may sit this one to rest some nagging ailments. Â If the Cavs win they will own the season series 3-1 and will move into a “virtual tie” with the Raptors for possession of the 2-Seed in the East. Â So there’s a lot at stake. Â Tonight’s blog sub-theme: Game Shows!

Answer: He once said: If He Dies, He Dies
Who is Timofey Mozgov?
That was a stupid call on Shump!
Wiggins for KLove right now… Deal or No Deal?
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! NO DEAL!!!!
Mozgov defending both men on a pick and roll there — forces the pass, then forces a tough miss.
It’s good to see KLove heating up from behind the arc.
mozgov is making it tough for even amir johnson to do anything at basket and that is huge that guy used to abuse us previous games
Great two man game with Love and JR, Mozerati drives out of the lane, Kyrie drives right thru the lane!!!
KLove looks like a man possessed on both ends right now!
He is cleaning those windows like a boss!
KLOVE FROM DEEP AGAIN!
Tyler Hands-bro is a D_MB F_CK…. Um… I’d like to buy a vowel…
if Cavs tighten the D then i don’t think raptors can score….lot of their points are from lazy defense and wide open shots
So glad KLove decided to take that three! He needs to go up with confidence more often…
Thought the same exact thing. Was great to see!
LeBron just passed it to himself off the rim.
Raptors becoming acquainted with the force that is TT.
His activity has been great so far!
Looks like Psycho T forgot to take his happy pills tonight.
Hands-bro needs a good nut stomping…
5 straight 3pt attempts, Are they clogging the lane?
Make that 6 now.
No, good ball movement it seems… not mad at the attempts really.
Lou williams is dangerous man, seriously gotta pressure him
Cavs really fell asleep on that one…
A person on fire in the NBA tonight…

J__E_!
I’d like to solve the puzzle…
JAMES FREAKING JONES!

“JAMES!
FREAKING!
JONES!”
Let’s see what you won…..it’s the Twenty Five Thousand Dollars!
You beat me to it Tom!
James FREAKING Jones is earning his PT.
THE CHAMP! THE CHAMP!
tyler hansbrough looks like he’s high on crack
Skillwise, Hansborough reminds reminds me of dudes i play with at the gym. He’s just, you know…a half foot taller.
so uh i think lebron trusts james jones eh?
JAMES FREAKING JONES!!!!
lets go JAMES JONES!!!!!!!
Hands-bro shouldn’t be beating ANYONE to a rebound…
Cavs getting a lot more fast break run outs tonight it seems…
If lebron was an elite free throw shooter, career 80+, he would be the greatest of all time. The lone remaining weakness in his game.
How the heck did they let Hansbro get that rebound?
To stop DeRozan… would you like to:
A) Ask the audience
B) 50/50
C) Phone a friend
I’ll ask the CtB audience (BRING IN PERKINS TO PUT HIM ON HIS ASS!)
Shumpert needs to go in and shut down Derozan, he’s basically been their offense
Please don’t make Lebron have to guard him……. Shumpert should step up and get the job done tonight
The color guy for Toronto is super annoying…
I actually like him. Not a super homer and pretty on point with his comments.
i agree his accent sounds intentional affected and caricature-ish
lebron not shooting well and yet it feels team has control of this game….seems like derozan wants to take a lot of the shots for raptors that last one by him was hilarious
LBJ makes the Tech FT this time…
why am I getting into the paint so easily?
If you are getting into the paint so easy, then why did you just miss a 3? ;)
Good question ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yeah, DeMar is now just knifing through the paint with no Cav stopping him…
What’s My Line? “Put him on his ass!”
Time to get Perkins in there.
DeRozan has half the Raptor points.
A few of them were midrange jumpers I believe, which is fine… just can’t let him get to the paint.
love’s defense on that derozan layup deserves a benching right now….at least bump him or guard the baseline dude
Yeah it looked like he should’ve closed out the base line.
Neither team is playing particularly good defense…
I’d agree… doesn’t seem like either offense is on fire.
Let’s watch that again on with the Ooz Cam – wow Lou Williams just got SLIMED
HAHAHAHA…. #Samson with the sweet moves!
DeRozan with the DUNK FAIL!
DeMar went up and it was like….
JOKER… JOKER… ooohhhh… Pot Luck.
LeBron… do you want to win the MVP… or would you rather have A NEW CAR?!
Moz and Jonas like the ZYGOTE Brothers tonight
I’m not watching – can someone tell me why KI isn’t attacking? Is he initiating the offense or is LBJ controlling the ball? I’d really like to see KI push the ball tonight and carry the load – they don’t have anyone to guard him.
He just hit a shot and then got fouled going up for another shot… Cavs have countered Jonas V with heavy dose of Moz-erati so far…
Remember when Amir Johnson wouldn’t give the ball back to the ref last year? Then threw it at his back.
Here’s the game show part: who were the Raptors playing when this happened?
That’s right Portland… You win a shinny new blender.
The password is… LeBron…
James Johnson is apparently a UFC fighter.
movin that rock
decent game so far into first timeout….looks like kyrie isn’t running much and playing off ball but hasn’t really done anything even with a backup guarding him….might be time for him to get moving
He’ll get going… right now it’s the Mozgov show
I LOVE how they are fighting fire with fire and feeding it to Moz!
I agree…. I love when Mozerati steps on the gas on the offensive end!!!
WOW… intense game tonight.
Playoff intensity… Kinda like the tension on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire…
Great analogy there, EG!!! Much tension!!!
WHEEL… OF… MOZGOV!!!!!
Some tremendous ball being played right now, beautiful!!
Vasquez with four steps…
This is shaping up to be a real battle of the big men… Family Feud style…
Survey Says “Mozaratti”
Got to hit JV early and often. when he gets going he’s a load.
LEBRON COME ON DOWN AND GIVE THE WHEEL A SPIN!!!!!!!!
I’ll take Lithuanian big men for 100 Alex…
Answer: This Lithuanian big man just got owned by Mozilla?
Who is Donatas Montejunas?
I’m sorry that’s incorrect… the answer was of course Jonas Valanciunas…
I didn’t realize this was the first JVal vs Timo match up.
JR SWISH!!!!!!!
Q: What post game outfit will Moz be wearing tonight?
I’m going with track pants and a
Little Ceasars t-shirt.
A: What is the blood of the Toronto Raptors???
big game tonite in regards to standings and tiebreakers…last time this happened was Bulls game before all star break….but i think and hope this is different and should be…don’t think Raptors are that good and with lowry out that has to have affect…important for kyrie to light up vazquez and lebron and love and mozgov to make noise…basically the starters need to put up or shut up and bench has to hold steady…go CAVS!
Cavs only need A Minute To Win It!
Lowry not playing tonight
Kyle Lowry… YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK!
RSTLNE
N _
L _ _ R _
_ _ N _ _ _ T
Hmmm: Q……X……Z…..
and a vowel…
…..Y!
Noooope. Not much there.
“NO LOWRY TONIGHT”
[APPLAUSE]
FIRST TRY!
That was awesomely elaborate Tom!
What time does the game start? I thought it was 7:30?
It’s an NBA “7:30” which usually means a tip off somewhere around 7:47…
Okay got I fixed. My TV was trying to trick me up like LeBron shooting FTs.
Gotta keep Lou Williams in check.
Was he messing with my TV?
Lol sorry, it was supposed to be a separate comment in the thread, somehow I hit reply to you
No worries just messing with you!
No Whammys! No Whammys!

Answer: Despite being a great guy, this famous Australian is most known as an object of irrational Twitter hate.
Who is Matthew Dellavedova? (we would also accepted… who is Delly Trey, who is “Rudy” and who is CLF’s favorite player)
****CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP!!! My name is CLF, and I approve this message.
The only thing getting blown out tonight is Nate’s cornhole. Too much arena food.
Yikes!!! What makes this post worse is that it’s not a lie!
Huge game, Cavs gotta go get it
I’d buy THAT for a dollar!
If Lowry sits, the Cavs should blow the Raps out…
Cleveland is a 5 point favorite tonight, over/under set @ 204.5. Smart money is on Toronto to cover, and take the under. Prediction, Cavs win 104-100.
Whoever gets the closest guess without going over… gets to spin the wheel on The Price is Right!
EG’s ON FIRE!!! Dang…. I think I was better at haikus…
