Live Thread: Cavs vs Magic
2016-10-29
Another day in sports paradise for us Cleveland fans: the 2-0 World Champion Cavaliers host the Magic on the second night of a back-to-back, while Cory Kluber takes the mound in game four of the world series. Meanwhile, the Buckeyes eked out a 24-20 win against Northwestern.
The Cavs are without Frye, who is on leave due to the death of his mother, while Bismack Biyambo is suspended for this game. Let the sporting and commenting commerce.
That T-Mobile contest sounded confusing and anti-climactic…
And no, Mr. CEO, you don’t get to grab the mic.
LET’S PUT THIS TEAM AWAY EARLY IN THE 3RD AND REST SOME PLAYERS / PLAY THE BENCH MORE —GO TRIBE / CAVS —-OH WHAT THE HELL AND YOU TOO BROWNS !!
Browns are going to beat the Jets tomorrow behind McCown…
If Kluber says it’s an out… it’s an out!
Replay review will confirm: Kluber gets the DP for a shutdown second to preserve the lead.
That was the first lead change of this World Series.
This Magic team is kinda scary in defense to be honest if they EVER click. But they are going to suck offensively. Nobody can consistently put mid-20’s ppg on this roster..
I doubt they click though… too many pieces that don’t fit well together…
Yeah, Biyombo and Ibaka are redundant for one (excluding Ibaka’s range).
Lackey has thrown 50 pitches in two innings; 8 or 9 of them were to Kluber.
MDJ wishing us Happy Halloween. Ok!
62 points on 48% shooting sounds pretty good to me for a first half…
…and holding the opposition under 50 points again.
I think JR being in foul trouble hurt them a little in keeping Orlando’s shooting percentage down though…
Really good at bat by Kluber ends with an infield single and run scores on an error. Tribe up 2-1.
As much as I hate NL rules… it’s always kind of awesome to see a pitcher help his own cause!
KLUBER BASE HIT! RUN SCORES ON ERROR!
KLUBER BASE HIT! Scores another!
I mean… just ridiculous…

Corey Kluber… fouling off pitches! I love it

LeBron is unbelievable…

SANTANA!!!
Big fly from Santana pulls the Tribe even leading off the 2nd!

Wow. Would love to hear Hubie Brown gushing over that.
Payton’s hair is ridiculous…
Not looking good for Tribe… already down 1-0 in the first… Team scoring first since the LCS round is 14-0…
Kluber looks ok, though — a bloop double and soft single produced the run.
Probably just more superstition on my behalf… but Lackey is always tough in these kinds of games…
UNCLE DREW!!
TT REJECTION!
HIS EXPERIENCE/ PHYSICAL / EMOTIONAL MATURITY ARE REALLY STARTING TO SURFACE —IS AHEAD OF CURRY AT THE SAME AGE / STAGE OF CAREERS
Yikes… that was some collision under the hoop
Aaron Gordon got robbed in the slam dunk contest. That picture up there should be an “it’s over” moment.
Kyrie looks so assertive this season. Everything comes naturally to him. I can’t wait until his first duel with a truly elite point guard. He is gonna drop 50 on his a**!
Well Kyle Lowry is semi-elite..
Not even close. I am talking Curry, Lillard, Paul and Wall, just because they had this allstar beef last year. Lowry? Hell no.
That’s why I called it semi-elite. Lowry is at tail end of his peak now, He’s gonna decline in a year. He doesn’t have a particular elite skill, but his overall play makes him in the top 7 albeit being inconsistent at times. This is the best shape he ever will be. Lowry is a better defender than Lillard, Kyrie and Curry. A better scorer than Paul and Wall. And has lead his team deep in the playoffs, unlike Wall. I wouldn’t call Wall “truly elite” until he fix that J, and lead his team back in the playoffs. There… Read more »
I agree with you. I just named Wall because of their beef. One point I disagree with is that Lowry is better than Wall. It’s not Wall’s fault that the Washington FO is totally inept at everything basketball related, be it hiring a competent coach, making trades or signing free agents. Wall is on the same tier as Lillard IMO, just below the top 4 you mentioned.
I also think that Kyrie thinks he is better than all of them and he will try to prove it.
MUCH BETTER ASSISTS/ T.O RATIO TONIGHT –7/1

Birdman Cometh!
Killer Shrimp with a great assist to Love and the buzzer-beating double clutch layup! Welcome to the NBA little man!
WE ARE WITNESSING GREATNESS ” KILLER SHRIMPS ” 1ST NBA BUCKET –CONGRATS !!
KSHRIMP!
Felder goes coast to coast for a buzzer beater! His first hoop…
KShrimp to KLove!
Birdman out there now…
Nice pass from Felder, RJ just too strong on the shot…
AT TIMES SHUMPS JUMP SHOT LOOKS SO SOLID /FLUID —JUST WISH HE WAS MORE CONSISYENT
Ty Lue widens the rotation. Let’s hope Kay Feledr does well. I believe in him.

KShrimp holding his own out there so far…
Cavs aren’t missing much… RJ hitting stepback Js now…
ALLEY OOOP! All the starters have scored now…
SHUMP THREE!!
LBJ with the buzzer beating THREE!!
Shump is much better defensively when he doesn’t have to focus on handling the ball IMHO…
Big surprise so far in this young season is that losing the man bun has not elevated Shump’s game.
He has it braided down… I’m sure it’ll be back eventually…
KILLER SHRIMP first NBA action!
Two quick ones on JR…
Here comes Shump…

LET’S GO CAVS! LET’S GO TRIBE!
Says a lot about Ohio Stste’s offense that Northwestern decided it was ok to kick a field goal down by 7 with 3 plus minutes remaining. Go Tribe. !!!
