Live Thread: Cavs @ Suns
2017-01-08
No Kyle Korver tonight, but the rest of the major players are ready to roll. The Jazz are coming off wins over the Heat and Mavericks, but are 12-25 on the yer. They’re not to be taken lightly though, with their three headed guard lineup of Bledsoe, Booker, and Knight averaging almost 53 points a game and T.J. Warren and Tyson Chandler patrolling the middle.. Should be a good defensive test for the Cavs
Almost a 4 pt play for Love there.
Closing group in: Ky, Shump, James, Kev + RJ.
James & Love time soon.
Wow, RJ….
We are so Shaqadaisical sometimes.
Ok, up 6 with 7 minutes. Time to clamp them down and get buckets.
Kyrie’s still giving nightmares to Knight lol.
four steps from kyrie on that play, but great finish.
Kyrie on O, Liggs on D!
Amazing play by KI. he can do that…
Ugly defense and energy really this 2nd half
All the sudden the Suns are having a field day against the Cavs defense.
TO from James. Draws a charge on the other end, though!
Wow. Terrible call. LeBron clearly in the circle.
Yep. Star call.
Shump with a nice drive, followed up by a booker layup with no one gurding him.
Shump finished with the left. Surprising.
RJ hanging a Mike D game. 13 mins and no impact so far
If I was the suns I’d just double with Kay’s man.
Awful pass from RJ. Yikes.
Embarrassing RJ
LeBron with a 25 year old’s dunk.
Ugh. I hate when LeBron shares the floor with Kay.
They definitely don’t know each other well. Kay is an opposite of Delly as a back up PG, I think Lebron prefers the latter style.
Suns at 54% for the game. Yikes.
Kyrie’s shooting is insane this game. What the hell are the Cavs doing on D though.
We could’ve rest Lebron all 4th but I guess we love close games against lottery teams.
Well let’s hope the Cavs match their energy to begin this quarter.
Kyrie at the horn!
Ky, could use it to go MFQ
Tie game. We checkout of games where we score easy early.
Nice shot by KI, but what a ridiculous quarter…
Obvious foul on LBJs layup.
A Dios Mio is is awful.
Lol
We could lose this.
I JUST GOT BACK—-WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED —SO OUR HOPE FOR STARTERS LOW MINUTES IS NOW GONE –JUST GOT TO HANG ON FOR THE “W”
Cavs have been giving them the ball and giving them layup line points on the break. It’s dumb.
Shoot that Kev!
Uncle TO. More sloppy.
Down to four. Suns feeling good.
James should sit. TO machine. Finally.
No reason to play like this, could have sat the starters in the fourth!
Yeah. Typ\ical Cavs. Up 20+ late 2nd. Instead of putting the hammer down & extending the lead at half, they let the other team chip away to 12-13 or so. Then a lame chill mode from James & the other team is right in the game.
We lack intensity & focus a LOT with a large lead.
Argh. Cavs sleepwalking to come out in the third.
Super sloppy and la y few minutes for Cavs….geez…
Sloppy and lazy, that is…
James and KI each with 4 turnovers and 8/12 for the team
Now 5 each for James and Irving
Rockets could take out the Dubs if they get millsap. Calling it now.
+1
Cavs getting Korver and another road block for the Warriors getting Millsap is perfect.
They have a puncher’s chance to take them out without him…
Mike DAntoni is a genius. But until I see him preach very good defense in the playoffs, it doesn’t matter who they get.
JUST WANT TO TAKE THIS HALFTIME TO ONCE AGAIN —WE ARE ” ALL IN ” FOR YOU SWISH / WIFE / DAUGHTER —PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU —BE STRONG !!!
oh man, yeah.
MAN IF LIGS CAN GIVE CAVS 5-7 PPG—3 STLS / ASSISTS PG AND THE REAL GOOD DEFENSE EVERY GAME —THAT WILL BE HUGE —NOT EVER GOING TO BE THE 3 PT SHOOTER THAT DELLY WAS —BUT DOES OTHER THINGS BETTER ( AND AT A MUCH LOWER PRICE )
I agree, he’s sneaky good. Like a young trick or treat Tony Allen type player.
Yeah, except longer. He needs to concentrate on corner threes and finishing in transition in addition to the defense.
KINGS COULD BE A TOUGH GAME FOR THE CAVS
I think that they will be fired up to play the Cavs. Cousins will keep TT busy. Rudy Gay playing out of his mind right now.
Could be, but I’d be surprised…not as lazy on D as last year, but still pretty shaky defensively…
REALLY LOVE THE DEFENSIVE INTENSITY RIGHT NOW
Kyrie playing with energy on D
Watching the Kings play the Warriors (local television). Kings up early, playing with lots of energy.
I will be amazed if the Cavs don’t blow out this team early. They are really bad.
Can we score 130-135 tonight? What a sieve the Suns are on D, and Cavs are sharp
I think Cavs could beat this team by 50 if they wanted to…
Agreed, they are really bad. They don’t even try on defense.
YOU HEARD IT FROM A.C. -“–NOMAD’S MAGICAL 23 ASSISTS “
Great assist, Lebron.
Interesting line up from the Suns, who’s playing the center position?
BELIEVE THE CAVS DIDN’T CUT MAMBA TO HAVE FOR FUTURE TRADE POSSIBILITIES
Felder time!
Hope he plays most of the 2nd qtr…
NATE THERE ARE OTHER MEDIA SIGHTS THAT HAVE THE CAVS PURSUING KNIGHT
Knight is making 12.6 million, so a tough cap got to say the least
Tough cap “fit”
Shump would have to go.
HOPING FOR THE SAME THING MIKE O —LOW MINUTES FOR THE STARTERS
LIGS /SHUMP CAN CREATE HAVOC OUT THERE —-CAVS LOOKING SHARP RIGHT NOW —MAYBE SOME KSHRIMP SIGHTINGS SOON —-RAPTORS LOSE –CAVS WIN WOULD GIVE US A 4.5 GAME CUSHION —-MAN MOTREZYL HARRELL IS TURNING INTO A BEAST FOR THE ROCKETS —DID WE HAVE A CHANCE TO DRAFT HIM ?
Yes, this team IS terrible.
Yeah…hope the Cavs starters get some low minutes this game. Cavs might be able to win this one playing mostly bench guys.
Suns seem totally unprepared for the Cavs blitzing their guards defensively.
Brandon Knight out of the rotation, huh? Would it be a stretch to add him as an extra guard?
I think Shump plays better without the white headband
The Suns are awful
Liggins insane so far. Should’ve gotten two straight turnovers on inbounds. Only got one.
I have the feeling Booker and Bledsoe will score 25 each and the Cavs win by 20.
Liggins playing great against these scrubs
Bledsoe should have gotten a foul on that push
Kyle’s jersey not ready yet or what?
Liggin’s confidence growing. getting his contract guaranteed for the year had to help.
Jeez. Liggins has three big plays already
DeAndre! With a couple sweet plays early: two steals! one for a layup, and one to set up an LBJ and-1!
