Talking Cavs with Mark Neal 2017-11-03 Off By Tom Pestak https://soundcloud.com/dayton-radio/tom-pestak-cavstheblogcom-talking-cavs-with-mark-neal-on-dss?in=dayton-radio/sets/dayton-sports-scene Recap: Pacers 124, Cavs 107 (Or, More Of The Same) Not A Recap: Cavs 130, Wizards 122 (or, All The Points)
Green with some nice D there!
Need a go to guy for the 4th. KLove?
The game has been well balanced. So I say keep playing the way it’s been. I could see Wade maybe coming in rested and helping.
In scoring? LeBron has 41 points how was this balanced?
LeBron may be in for the duration.
James is a fully operational battle station this game.
Ha ha! Yes he is. Can they repel firepower of this magnitude?
Only if they have a Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Lando Calrissian.
Gotta push this lead out beyond 15. You can tell this crowd want to get in the game, and Wall is itching to start draining shots.
Really need Kyrie now to take over in the 4th. Hoe about putting Wade in?
LeBron with a monster game tonight. I hope he gets 50 plus.
104-93, nice win, Cavs…err, wait, it’s not over…?
Ha yeah, this no defense thing is crazy.
Wall will be fine.
Frye is our new Perks.
In all serousnesss I hope he’s okay.
Me too. The only players I wouldn’t care for are Curry, Dray, Durant and the idiot from Boston(not Kyrie). Can’t recall his name.
Marcus “Not So” Smart.
Wall ran into a Wall!

Bang!
Lots of crap calls tonight! Was just tripped and it’s a foul?!
“Wall”
Frye!
Garbage shot from James followed by horrid 2 on 1 from Crowder. Ugh.
Fall-away 3 point shot with 19 on the shotclock….just dumb.
Had zizic open and rolling too.
Rose 1-7 in the second half…
Nice D from LBJ on Wall
Stuff that shot in a sock, Rose…
He has hit the wall here in th3 second half. Need to get Wade in there or some5hing.
Was there an IT update today? See on four letter he was warming up before the game.
No, they just showed him warming up, no update that I heard…
Doris said no change in timetable (early January) but no setbacks so far as he has been increasing his activities.
Thanks guys. Good news.
There was some footage earlier of him moving around the court a bit & shooting 3’s. Report was that he was looking great but they are not changing the January timetable.
IT lives! Actual video of him in basketball-related activities:

Korver!!!!!
Both teams exhausted from so much scoring
Here’s the Irving quote they’re talking about with the implicit dis of Lue:
“Brad fits perfectly in terms of that because he has an intellectual mind and is an intellectual human being,” Irving told Auriemma. “It was something I was unbelievably craving in terms of what I wanted for my career.”

Too bad Kyrie is exactly the opposite of ‘intellectual’…he has sounded like a huge moron all season…
Yes, what I wanted to say but in less words!
Ugh, that’s even worse than I thought it was. What an ass.
I don’t know if it’s intentional shade, I think he’s so wrapped up in what he wants for himself that he doesn’t think about how people will interpret his poor communication. I mean, just listen to an interview with DWade, LBJ or many others. They make logical sense in what they say. I was always left with the impression Kyrie would start talking without having an idea of what he wanted to say first.
To be fair, I have the same opinion of Lue. Although mine is based off Lue’s dazed look on the sidelines. Kyrie just has no foresight in how people will interpret what he says :(
Then why did Kyrie do such dumb things on the court all the time?
I’m okay with the Rose drive to the hoop, usually…but I really don’t need to see his pull up off the dribble long two….ever…
Love on restricted minutes?
Sorry no official live thread tonight.
No problems Nate, you guys need a break sometimes too.
I thought it might be some sort of protest.
We adapted fine.
The Nets could be down to 5th from bottom by the end of the night.
Jeez, JR….
FWIW, Rose shot well last game.
Geez, I miss a half and we score 74. Maybe it’s me.
74pts in a half. Offense is great.
Defense needs to step up
LeBron playing angry and Rose looking great. Hopefully they carry it the next half.
Nice of Lue to give Zz some minutes. Guy did good. Maybe we see a bit of Cedi on the second half ;)
We get out to 20 pts, we might see Cedi. Be great for the squad to get some breathing space and floor time for these guys.
I truly hope so. I’m just glad Zz did a good job out there. Maybe Lue will remember that next game.
Some good basketball from the Cavs. Hope they can sustain it!
Rose played his best half in like 8 years
As long as Rose shoots 87.5%, Cavs have a shot.
and 100% from Downtown
that was bullcrap. but kevin love gets away with it too
There’s literally nothing anyone can do when lebron wants to get to the rim. Got fouled two times on that drive and it was like he didn’t get touched
These refs are pretty crappy both ways.
This halftime score will be absurd…
some suspect foul calls
Lebron with a ridiculous half…other than the TOs…
oh geeze. i kinda had hope we would start to separate at the end of the half…we’ve gotten the stops just not the buckets
Found money…Rose has two made threes…
shocking
LBJ pull-up jumpers seems to be releasing pressure on the Wiz. Don’t wanna open the door here.
Seriously these jerseys SUCK!!!!! Made out of friggin tissue paper!!!!!!!
talking about Ben Simmons jersey. and I mean RIPPED!
A bunch of TOs, but Cavs getting lucky.
KLOOOOOOVE!
Lue coaching to keep his job.
are there any rumors he’s on the hot seat?
None that I’ve heard, but Dan Gilbert is the owner…
indeed.
really need a point guard…
They have the best – Jose Calderon…one of the first free agents snapped up last summer…
the hell just happened?
Don’t think the refs know either
never seen Mike Scott do anything like he’s doing on court right now. He looks like Hakeem! Where did he learn this?
also D Wade just did the sneakiest little bastard move ever on that steal
Zz looking good. He needs to roll back to Gortat on the PnR’s, but other than that, he’s solid.
Rose looked great.
Cavs finally giving a sh!t.
I think he can be a young, more physical Mozgov…who knows, he could eventually be better than that…still only 20…
both teams nearly 70% for the quarter
oh yeah…TT gonna have to work his butt off to get minutes when he gets back. Z is for real…lots of activity on offense, kinda bad at the pick n roll but will get better with experience
Good news, offense is awesome. Bad news, defense sucks.
Translation for “high-scoring game”… :)
Zz looking comfortable out there!
Lebron short circuits the offense cuz he’s tired. just get korver the damn ball lebron!
oh man i forgot how much i hate the wizards
That was pretty by Rose
Jodie MEEKS?! how is he still in the league
hey rose playing good.
defensive energy is way up. not always translating to stops but Z gives us great length at the rim.
SWISH!
Come Zz, give us some good minutes.
LBJ giving Zizic good direction on the floor. Hope it goes ok, will be important for Zizic’ confidence.
early big Z sighting!
Apparently defense is optional so far.
Zizic is the first player off the bench, in for Crowder.
How incredible that in 2 weeks the Cavs have gone from “great depth” to “lack of depth”.
isn’t that crazy?
I like this lineup of DRose, JR, LBJ, Crowder, and KLOVE.
Nice start defensively. Let’s see how long it lasts.
heck i’m ok if we just play hard in the 1st and 4th tonight. that’d be a full quarter more than the rest of the season
cavs evergy looks absolutely excellent 3 minutes in
no live thread tonight?
This’ll do!
