Live Thread: Cavs vs. Wizards (Fan Appreciation Night Version)
2015-04-15
Yes Cavs fans, it’s the last game of the regular season. The Cavs are resting LeBron and keeping Kyrie and his hip on a minutes restriction, but the rest of your favorite wearers of the Wine & Gold will be out on the floor.
Before you dive headlong into playoff mode, take this last respite to reflect on this awesome regular season. Then… bring on the Celtics!
Damn this is an exciting night keeping up on all the scores. Spurs playing like the champs they are. ATL holding off the Bulls with their bench lineup. Nets coming back.
The Perkins/Haywood combo strikes fear in the heart of buffet owners everywhere
It’s like watching Pacific Rim 2…
DELLY ATE HIS WHEATIES!!!!
Or his Vegemite Sandwich as the case may be…
LOL… Delly just did a complete dribble circle around the paint…
LOL… TT and Moz breaking down his opening pitch at the Tribe game… JK shoulda done a breakdown on that…
Is LeBron wearing sweatpants with a sport jacket? I see drawstrings.
Perk almost… ALMOST decided to go one-on-one and drive it that time… THAT would have been hysterical!
Love the big game from iman
SHUMP!!
BHay!
Headband Worn Yo! is in the game!
Shump: “I’ll get you THIS time rim!”
Rim: “Your hair is writing checks your body can’t cash homes!”
So it will by a pyhric victory if a Cavs win leads to a ctb fantasy league loss.
Ah, it was a fun fantasy season anyway. At least you didn’t lose to Cols…
DELLY just RAINING FIRE!!
Hahaha! Anyone just watch Perk get away with a blatant double dribble?
That guy has zero basketball skills. Its amazing.
Fred with the clever… “Perkins’ Pancake!”
SHUMP channeling his inner JR…
Delly Trey!!
Hawks still leading the Bulls 70-66
Shump thump!
Ironically that’s also the sound it makes!
Smokin Joe Harris shooting like he’s still in Canton!
looks like the bulls want to avoid the cavs/ 2nd round ( not an attempt to jinx the cavs )
Atlanta: “You take em…”
Chicago: “No… Raps/Wiz can take em!”
TT throwing the hammer down!
Anyone remember the “hammer dagger” TT threw down when he crotchsterized that guy? I can’t remember who that guy was…
Think it was a raptor.
YES! Wasn’t it Lowry??
EG, how does our fantasy score look?
It’s close… I’m up 8-5 at the moment but there are four or five categories that are super close…
Perkins with a nice face plant on that drive.
Razor Ramon then TT to the hole!
Hawks up 14 on Bulls and Magic up 11 on Nets. Shaping up nicely!
I know it’s petty and means nothing… but I really want the Cavs to win this game…
And now it’s a three point contest…
SHUMPTASTIC!!!
6’6… 6’9 with the hair…
MIKE MILLER the MIME KILLER!
Looks like Kyrie’s night (and regular season) are over…
Anyone going to Game 1 or 2 vs. the Celtics?
I’m going to game 1. Had tickets for both but can’t make two drives up to CLE so close together
Oh, that’s right! I thought you were going to let NOMAD take your wife to Game 2?
I would actually consider it /// just to meet … one of the more interesting /// writing STYLES ON THE …/// boards
Andy because of the Miami Vice wardrobe.
Every time I see Andy on the bench now I hum the Jan Hammer MV theme song in my head…
Anytime Miami Vice is brought up, I get so heated. How did Sonny afford a Ferrari ?
And why couldn’t Tubbs ever catch Calderon?!
The department paid for it. It was a part of his cover.
If Bron had a gold medallion on, he would be in full Tubbs mode tonight…
Raptors win… Now all we need is Chicago to lose and the Raps hold the 3 seed.
Halftime Fan Appreciation game: Who is your favorite Cav and why?
I’m gonna say Moz mostly because of the Brew Garden commercials… #EffigySandwichesForevah
I-Delly, that’s the hybrid of Iman and Delly. They’re so annoying on the wing. Their the little brothers of the whole league.
OK, one last thing, KI at -13, Delly at +10. Should we change up the starting lineup for the playoffs? Discuss.
Now THAT would be a “wrinkle”
Cavs fighting back on Fan Appreciation Night… I like it!
JAMES MOTHERFREAKING JONES!!!
I’m leaving to see now to see my young children. I will check later for more sarcasm and reminiscing so keep the posts well written and witty.
Safe travels home Joey B!
Aussie Banking Hours are convenient!!!
And there accepting 3 dollar bills and Deli Trays!!!
Did Delly call that bank?
The bank calls Delly.
Man is the K Love rebounding milk commercial so bad. Nba app needs to vary it up
Still not as bad as the KLove bobblehead commercial… just audible brutality…
KLOVE is EN FUEGO!
KLOVE is on FIRE!!!!
YES! AC just said “mouse in the house” for the 457th time this year, breaking his unofficial record from last year!
There’s GOT to be a terrific AC drinking game out there somewhere…
AC has like, 4 phrases, tops. That game would result in alcohol poisoning by the first quarter.
So true… it would take an iron stomach and an ambulance on stand-by…
I just assume Shump is going to miss every time the ball leaves his hands.
Orlando up 4 on the Nets….
Wizards with 48 points already with 6 minutes left??
You know, it IS fan appreciation night – why not grab some folks at halftime and let them finish the game? It’d really complete the circle of the commercial with all of cleveland in the huddle from the beginning of the year.
Hehehe good suggestion.
Yeah, they shoot a lot better without Wall and Beal out there bricking it up…
Cavs don’t seem all that interested in playing defense tonight…
Change “tonight” to “the last three weeks”
Good point!
Oh man… Iman fell for the banana in the tailpipe…
If God is just, that phrase will be taken up by a play by play guy. It’s so perfect.
if bulls lose and Toronto wins we would get raptors in the 2nd round correct ??
Assuming we beat the Celtics. No jinxes permitted.
Okay… let’s keep Joey B interested…
In honor of Fan Appreciation Night, what was your favorite moment this season?
Love charge. Has to be, right? That or every delicious second that Matthew Dellavadova steps on the court.
There were so many –
– Double Nickels
– Double Nickels and a couple pennies
– The Shump Alley-Op to JR in NY
– The Memphis game
– Chris Paul calling out the female ref
– Destroying the Mavs
– Too Many Cols
Oh yeah, double nickles was a pretty special night.
I also loved that one series of events where KLove made the touch behind the back pass for a three
Or when LBJ had so much time against Memphis that he took a foul shot from the corner. That was kind of devastating to the psyche.
How about the Haywood pass during the Houston game?
Or the Moz interview when he started speaking Russian!
How about when Nate almost wrestling a fan for bashing Delly?
And destroyed that bathroom at the Q…
That just made me snort through my nose. I’m still at work.
New Orleans up by 20!
Whoa! that escalated quickly. I wonder if San Antonio is just trying to give the finger to OKC.
But at the expense of the second seed? IDK…
I just saw that Norris Cole plays for New Orleans now. Had no idea. Man, I am so glad that Heat are missing the playoffs. I hope Pat Riley has to get extra botox to fix his face from the stress.
Riles is gonna have to “retool” again…
I guess when John Wall and Brad Beal don’t play… the Wiz actually make shots… huh…
Oh man, you got to go to a Wizard board and post that.
Maybe I did… ;)
I’m bored. Perkins v. Haywood, one on one to 11. Fouls only get you the ball, not shots; travels will be called; make gets you the ball back at the top of the key. You have to bet your life on it. Who wins?
Does Haywood get to wear his headband?
Of Course!! otherwise he’d lose his powers. Perk gets to wear his scowl.
Or his Angry Smurf hat…
I bet that match would take an hour at least.
maybe they should play to 3
KYRIE!!! Looks like the hip is feeling okay…
KYRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE 333333!!!
Seems like we should be down by more than 8.
Coulda been worse… at least they got it back to single digits. Only thing that really bugs me is the ex-Mr. Kardashian going off for 8 points on 4-5 with three boards.
You know, I always liked that guy. Maybe its because it seemed like he was really in love with that nutjob, but I kinda felt sorry for him. His game isn’t bad.
He just seems so un-athletic to me and I can’t figure out how he gets rebounds…
The Delly/TT express…
KLove could be devastating down low…
He IS devastating down low. He’s just not sent there enough. I figured that’d be the last wrinkle, but it hasn’t really happened. I hope soo ooooo much that he goes off in the playoffs. He deserves it and it would go a long way for him staying.
Some day, some day. I still thin Blatt is going to whip out some crazy offensive stuff in the playoffs with Loves play.
I think you’re right DW… at least I hope you are…
No – his secret weapon is going to be unleashing Haywood.
An errant Haywood pass will take out Brad Stevens.
New Orleans is aggravating the Spurs right now.
This is a playoff game for NO tonight. Spurs can’t decide how much they need it or if they should start resting.
Bulls losing to the Hawks. Looks like Noah isn’t playing.
Seriously no LeBron? They couldn’t play him 10 minutes in chill mode for fan appreciation night?
Maybe he’ll do a dunk contest at halftime…
What will fans more appreciate: Winning in the playoffs of LBJ twisting his ankle.
Nice drive and kick by Irving for a Love 3!
Nice pass from Kyrie for the KLove triple!
Cavs going for record of missed threes to start a game.
Washington just can’t miss right now.
This is almost as ugly as the second Boston game…
Gasol is day-to-day and will probably play limited minutes vs Pacers.
Just got home. I’m watching this game and the Spurs, Pellies. Davis is so dang long and just capable.
I don’t think I’ll ever stop obsessing over the fact we were a coin flip away from having him on this team. Instead, we got Dion.
We got 3 out of 4. And even if one remains, I’m ok with it.
You do have a point with Kyrie and UniB back to back would mean no AB or Wiggy. LBJ most likely would still have returned this year with those 2. Pretty sure that would work too :).
What’s even worse is that I was telling anyone who would listen (not many) that I wanted K. Leonard at the four (where we took Thompson). Can you imagine? Kyrie, Kawhi, and AD on rookie contracts?
