Live Thread: Cavs vs Kings
2017-12-06
The Kings come to town as one of the worst teams in the NBA after spending a combined $50 million this year on George Hill, Zach Randolph, Vince Carter, and Bogdan Bogdanovic. They do sport exciting rookie De’Aaron Fox starting at the one, and he is already possibly the league’s fastest player, so that’s probably their lone source of excitement. The Kings are 3-10 away from home, and the injury report looks good for the Cavs, with TT, and Isaiah Thomas nearing a return and Shump still on the shelf. The Cavs look to notch their 13th straight, which would tie their win streak record. No jinxes from me. Just a hearty, “go Cavs!”
Being down 9 at the to the 2-10 road record Kings was sure not the plan.
Awful first half. No intensity. Chill mode. Can Bron or Wade make a FT? This effort deserves a loss. Down 9.
Are you calling a loss again like the other night? Cans will win by 6.
Jason always calls the loss…
Well if they made the FTs, they would have the lead.
Correction… the game would be closer.
Almost. But no. Bron & Wade are 2-8.
Cavs look collectively like they just ran a marathon.
Wow… how you miss both of those DWade?
Swanson, swammy….. SAMSONITE.
Danger Will Robinson. More layups. Less jumpers.
Good play to get it to Love down low…
Bron slipping at the line…
We are letting Buddy shoot & Mason drive. We need to reverse that.
Bron getting more aggressive.
“We” aren’t doing anything… other than sitting at home watching the game…
Mason having his way on drives…
LBJ gets his 10…
LBJ comes to life!
Yeah… Buddy Hield is gonna hit those if you leave him open…
Those are the ones JR needs to hit…
LeBron is going to have to drive to the rim. No more chill mode
This is a step backwards. We should push pace back at them. Doing the mess around.
It’s still the first half, right?
Bron just saving energy for the second half I guess…
Joerger seems to be instilling the Memphis grit and physicality into the kings. Hasn’t resulted in many wins, but I like how they play physical on d though. Hopefully, LBJ doesn’t have too many bruises after this game.
Cavs with no energy at all.
Need greens energy tonight. This is a total sandwich game.
Except for Green.
Lethargic. Sloppy. And passive. Not a good combo.

Ball don’t lie!
Cannot wait for IT to be back. TT back for Philly wouldn’t hurt.
CUT-ZUS!!

La flama blancA with the deuce
Bron just destroyed Buddy Hield on that spin cycle…
A disengaged LeBron still better than 374 of nba
3/4 but both numbers work.

If Vince had wanted it like Jordan did, he may have been one of the real greats, rather than really good and a ridiculous dunker…
He was pretty great. You switch him and Kobe in the shaq years, I think you would have seen similar or better numbers. After Carter started getting chronic knee problems, he career trajectory slowed. Really after 2001.
There’s his first…
LeBron forcing too many passes tonight with 4 turnovers already
Meanwhile… LeBron has zero points…
Vince Carter… ageless wonder
To call LeBron disengaged would be an understatement
Chill mode. Put Cedi in.
LBJ with almost as many poor passes as good ones tonight…
Quick release too
Bulls up 10 at Indy. Green playing well.
Ugly quarter, but at least got to within 3…
Jeff Green with a money corner three…

All kinds of action in the bottom 10 and the Nets don’t play. Hopefully teams will move up on them. Booker out 2-3 weeks in Phoenix, that won’t help. Teodosic & Gallanari should be back for the Clips. That will.
3 = Bulls (at Pacers)
5 = Hawks (at Magic)
7 = Kings (at Cavs); Mavs (at Celtics)
8 = Grizz (at NY), Lakers, Clips (TWolves)
9 = Suns, Nets, Hornets (Dubs)
have to pass out l mittens / hats to all the fans —-due to the ‘cold ” shooting …..BRRRRRRR
Nice post work by Green!
Dinobots and Love…
What in the world are the Cavs doing?
Waiting for the officials to call something…
mighty big “if “—–man vince carter still playing —seems like he has been playing since my college days / which was many years ago
Whoever scores the first twenty wins.
That miss kicked ball on the LBJ pass to love was ridiculous.
If it gets thrown into the foot, it isn’t necessarily a kicked ball.
I know, but it looked like they stuck their leg out, but I didn’t see a replay.
If Crowder ever finds his shot consistently… that’s another level for this team…
JR returns the favor!
man I didn’t know klove had “hops ” like that
Kev with a rare dunk! Great pass from LBJ!
Game on pace to end 65-62…
Can’t buy a call at home… smh

2 TOs for Bron.
Well, this is a…
Good to see you on the thread. Hope the fires stay far away from you. The 405 near the Getty Center looks like hell on earth
They’re on all sides of me… but not close to me yet…
Crowder got a board!
Ugly start on offense.
One of the better Crowder drives this year…
just purchased some ANCHOR ( SAN FRANCISCO ) HOLIDAY BEER —–top 1 so far !!
At least the Kings can’t shoot…
LeBron with another defense where he doesn’t get past half court.
LOL. My wife says that Fox looks like Tracey Chapman.

I bet he has a fast car…
It’s true! Cleveland-born Tracy Chapman.
Jose takes one on the chin…
Sorry about getting this up so late. Been fighting with my Tivo! Got it working though.
Tivo can be fierce…
