Game Thread: Clippers at Cavaliers, 12/1/16
2016-12-01Alright folks, here we go. Neither of these teams particularly want to see each other right now — the Cavaliers just turned in a miserable performance for their 3rd loss of the season, and the Clippers are riding a 3-game losing streak on this road trip after coming out of the gates as one of the best teams in basketball.
This team is in a bit of a rough patch, but CP3, Blake, and DeAndre are still going to bring it, and them being desperate might make them pretty dangerous. Let’s keep the ball moving, stay away from overpassing and falling in love with the 3-point shot, and bounce back from that Milwaukee loss with a statement win.
Nice tackle by JR.. Browns can’t tackle better than that.
Both guys were going for the ball… but foul on JR…
Three fouls on CP3 now also… got to go at him
Jesus… CP3 from Shaker Heights…
Three fouls on Love now too…
Vegas pulling hard for LAC.
LBJ with the steal and the WINDMILL!!!

Another bad call…
Damn… Felder had the lane, loses his dribble.
Cavs played poorly this quarter, still up 1. Not bad… they grindin’
Finally RJ gets a 3!
Gonna have to get Kyrie back in there soon…
If Kay practices his three point shot next off season, he could be really good… Tonight, he just looks overmatched unfortunately…
Reality of our backup PG… sigh
Really, really wish they could have kept Tyus Jones…he might be a decent player soon…
LBJ should be able to get to the rack at will withough DJ in there…

… but getting bulldozed by him and getting called for the foul probably isn’t…
Refs giving Doc his 15,000 fine money’s worth
Paul acting like he has zero respect for Felder…might be able to get another foul on him…but it’d have to be blatant for Felder to get the call.
WOW… that sure looked like a charge. What are these refs looking at???
Holy Hell… CP3 just bulldozed KShrimp… foul on Felder… getting ridiculous…
I know…. that call was ridiculous… CP3 lowered his shoulder TWICE!
Shaqtin’ a Shrimp…
Sorry… jinxed him.
Felder’s defense not too shabby.

That banana was particularly ripe!
Clips bench is uninspiring…
SHUMP!
Speights blew a tire…
Early KShrimp!

Decent first quarter… aside from the cheap fouls…
Two for one?
That was a dumb foul by Love…
It was more of an acting job by J Crossover…
Maybe, but you throw your hip right in front of the ref, and they are generally calling it…
So many fouls right now. They gotta let them play or this game is gonna go till midnight.
Yeah… and not even any hack-a-DJ yet…
Seriously? These refs are turrible tonight…
Agreed… some college calls going on tonight.
That really looks like Minny Love…
Man… three fouls on Channing…
Flop by Austin.
Nice read by Kyrie.. nice jumper by KLOVE!
GOOD SEEING CHANNING BACK !!—-PUT ME AN ORDER IN FOR SOME “DEEP FRYES “
See how the Cavs do with LBJ off the court… that’s when it broke down last game…
Is that Paul Pierce on the bench. I thought he had retired?
Nope, just should have retired…
Didn’t you see CP3 giving him CPR after his missed dunk the other night?
Ha!
Love when Doc Jr goes to work one on one…comical
Nice drive by LBJ in transition.
Yeah, foul on Frye….right…
That should have been on Griffin pushing off… jeez
Yup gonna say the same thing.
He fully extended the arm… not loving the way the refs are calling the action in the paint right now…
Nice ovation from the crowd for Channing on his return
Great back cut by KLOVE… nice find by LBJ!
Great pass to Love on the backdoor cut from LBJ…
Man, Love’s stroke is ridiculous right now…
It’s night and day!
That’s a terrible foul call… Kev played Blake straight up and Blake just flailed into him…
Kev not quite the stalwart against Blake that TT is…
Sweet block, TT!

Two early fouls on CP3… early Doc Jr. sighting…
Cavs in bonus. Love the aggressiveness.
Such great D by TT on Blake!
Cavs defense is present. Nothing stupid and they’ll be good tonight.

Kyrie red hot. Wonder if Doc will put a bigger guy on him.
Nice to see guys having their shots going tonight…so far…
Kyrie is lit!

WOW! Kyrie!
https://vine.co/v/5UFP1rD656Y
His feet were pointed toward the scorers table when he went up. Just like they coach it!
The LBJ/Love two man game is strong this year…
Bet JR was shooting jumpers All day to atone.
JR SWISH! Man it would be great if he was back tonight!

Good evening CtB! Here are your numbers tonight:
CLE is a 3.5pt favorite over LAC with an o/u @ 215.5. Smart money is on a LAC cover/win and the UNDER.
Vegas is expecting a close one, possibly a LAC upset and a fairly offensive game with defenses clamping down in the 4th. GO CAVS!
I’ll take CLE in a close one 109-106 over LAC.
I don’t get that Jimmy Butler Nike “Superteam” ad… What exactly should they have learned by now? That superteams win rings?
Man… Bron is in a good mood tonight…

Did TNT switch programs and is broadcasting Dancing with the Stars? :)
He’s always happy when he’s on the court with a banana boat shipmate.
Of course… he also is guaranteeing a Clippers win tonight… So Chuck…
Chuck is channeling Cols tonight, calling the Warriors “girly basketball”
I thought it was common knowledge that Chuck and Cols are one and the same…?

Clips have been less impressive lately, but this will still be a fair guage of where the Cavs are…
Hoping for a better result! Got to protect the paint. Can we rent a Serb from the Olympic team?
