Live Thread: Cavs @ Sixers (#CalmBeforeTheStorm)
2016-01-10
The Cavs have one more relatively easy stop in the City of Brotherly Love this evening before embarking on their Texas “three-step” for the rest of the week. And, at the end of that trip, a MLK Day rematch with the Warriors at the Q awaits. This should be the last deep breath for a little while for the wine & gold, and hopefully it will feature another opportunity to rest their starters for the final period, as they should make fairly quick work of the Hinksters. However, Philly has been playing a bit better of late… what with the additions of Jerry Colangelo, Mike D’Antoni and Ish Smith. Okay, seriously though… the Cavs have already won the first three this season against the Sixers, and they should have no problems getting the sweep today. If for some reason they do have trouble though, it will likely be a result of looking ahead to the challenging coming week.
Cavs should win it going away, and maybe even get to the 120 mark for the fourth straight game. Prediction: Cavs 125-105. Talk it up Cavs fans!
Is good to see KLove playing well tonight at the other hand I just don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel for Mozgov. It has gotten to the point that if I was Blatt I would give Kaun a chance over him.
Noel just knocked down Love under the glass (no call). He makes Love look like his character in the Hoopers ads.
Man these scrubs like to play dirty!
Great finish by Love on a lob as he gets fouled!
Not sure, but think Grant shuffled his feet there…in fact, I think he shuffles his feet every time he touches the ball.
TJ McConnell the GOAT!
That was pretty egregious…
Raise the roof!!!!!!!!
Delly steals a rebound from Noel.
Wow! LeBron!!!!!!!!
This game reminds me of the game against the Nuggets. Probably no danger of losing, but around a 10 point lead the entire game.
Kyrie getting linked by TJ McConnell. Come on Kyrie!
I wrote ‘punked’ but my stupid smart phone changed it to linked.
LOL….gotta love autocorrect. First thing I shut off when I got my first iPhone.
LeBron hits his second long 2 of the half. Moderate fade to the left.
Thompson with two straight O-boards and almost a third on the same possession…
(Ellipses in honor of Evil’s absence…)
Geez, the Cavs have had so many shots roll out in this game….it’s getting ridiculous.
Knee to knee on JR….probably he is ok…
Love goes to the hoop and scores after they close out on him at the arc. Can’t remember the last time that happened.
Sweet move by Love to the hoop!
Nets should ‘reassign’ Billy King to the dumpster.
ODDS ARE AGINST US GWETTING IN THE 120 PT + PLATEU AGAIN —WILL BE SATISFIED WITH JUST A WIN —C’MON EVIL ” SOME PHOTOS PLEASE “
Cavs shooting 33%, while Philly is shooting 50%… I’m guessing those numbers swap out in the second half.
LET’S HOPE YOU ARE RIGHT PHIL —-JUST NOT THE GAME YOU WANT / EXPECT GETTING READY FOR BIG ROAD TRIP —-HOPEFULLY KY “GETS BACK TO HIS RECENT SELF THIS 2ND HALF
I’m not a fan of Moz on the floor at all in end of quarter/game situations. You need speed not halfcourt rim protection.
I’m guessing he’s probably done for the game after that bone-headed 3!
They want him in there to spread the floor…always a threat from 3. ;)
I hate when we play against the Sixers, because we play like garbage.
Until the second-half domination. (Usually. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.)
Pretty much. I think they just don’t take them seriously. About time they did, and just blow them out.
Mozaratti looks like a molvo
LeBron is not at all happy with Timo Mozgov after that sequence. And that’s being polite. — Lloyd
Neither is JR!
I don’t like the Timo 3 as a plan for this team. Moz also got taken by Okafor.
More defensive 3 second violations.
YEAH LOVE WITH ONLY 4 SHOTS SO FAR —–KYRIE HAVING 1 OF THOSE GAMES BLATT REFERED TO ” NOT WILLING TO SAY KY IS ALL THE WAY BACK YET —–BE GAMES WHERE HE MIGHT STRUGGLE “
Love got stuffed on that white man dunk!
Actually it looked like he lost control of the ball then fouled by Noel.
TT playing pretty big right now. Cavs need to abandon the 3 balls from perimeter passing and start beasting down low.
This is the final game against Philly this year.
TT with the suave under and up…
Looked like uncle drew
Wow that was ugly!!!!
someone put cellophane wrap on the hoop
Cavs shooting poorly 2nite!
That was a stupid call against Love. That high pitched whining from Landry must have seduced Brothers.
Philly plays out of control and borderline dirty.
A little like Boston, but more crappy.
That was a great dunk by Jefferson on the reverse.
Don’t let these scrubs hang in this game!
Damn Jefferson slam!
Cavs always play down to Philly.
I prefer to use the word “toy”
Cavs playing one on one and forcing shots. Delly with a couple and Shumpert too.
The Angels’ Mike Trout is courtside here in Philadelphia to see LeBron and the Cavs take on the Sixers. – Dave McMenimen
Yeah there’s a reason why Ish Smith has been traded and waived by a handful of teams.
True, but he’s galaxies better than any of their other options at point.
If Philly wins the lotto, Ish will get traded or waived again.
Perhaps, I believe he’s a FA after this season. But he’s a good signing for them this year if they want to try to develop any of their young players. They were a dumpster fire at PG before they picked him up.
Ish prolly gonna have 30 in this game.
Uncle Drew Trey!!!!!!!!
Cavs shooting 39% and still scored 26 in the quarter. Love with 8 boards already.
Easy Shump, lol, let the ball handlers run the last second shot of the quarter.
Shump’s less than Globetrotter dribbling skills.
Too much dribbling from Shump.
Delly showing off his ball handling skills.
Looked like a Globetrotter.
JR laying pipe!!!!!!!!
Delly forcing the travel. All he had to do was foul the hell out of him, but still ….
Delly shows off the astronomical basketball IQ once again.
Really wish Moz could flush those…nice play by Delly on D, though.
Delly got him to travel! Go Delly!
Landry doing a lot of high pitched whining.
EVIL ” RUBBING ELBOWS ” WITH CELEBS !!—-HOW ABOUT SOME ” PHOTOS ” —ENJOY !!!—-MEANWHILE BACK IN OHIO WE ARE EXPERIENCING WINTER FOR THE 1ST TIME –OH WELL IT WAS GOOD WHILE IT LASTED —GO CAVS !!
If you see someone schmoozing with a Kardashian, you’ll know it’s EG.
Whoa! JR with the behind the back. What an athlete!
Wow, nice dime by Delly for the Lebron monster slam…
What an amazing save pass by JR!!!!
Surprised a TP crew called that foul on Love.
Should read TB, Tony Bros!!!!!
Nice freaking flop.
Philly figures they won’t need timeouts in the final minutes of a blowout, so might as well use em now.
Good luck to Cavs today… I’m off to the Golden Globes
Any big rooting interests??
Nice D by Kyrie
I honestly think Lebron should take games like this off.
Tony Brothers is the lead official tonight.
Cavs win big but have an offensive letdown; Only score 118 ;)
I’m expecting a lackadaisical effort from the Cavs. Still should win easily.
So Far, you’re on the money
