Preseason Live Thread: Cavs vs. Celtics
2018-10-06
It’s an Ohio sports night! With the Tribe taking on the Astros and the Buckeye battling the Hoosiers in the late afternoon, we’ll forgive you if you’re a little late tuning in to the Cavs tonight.
Still, it looks to be an interest lineup with a bunch of dude’s out of the lineup.

Still, it’s a good chance to look at what Collin Sexton, Sam Dekker, and Larry Nance would look like joining probable starters Cedi Osman and Rodney Hood from the tip. For the Celtics, Kyrie and Gordon Hayward didn’t make the trip.

So we’ll see if the Celtics look to avenge their moribund home performance from earlier this week, and how Collin controls the reigns from the tip. Hopefully our favorite Ohio teams have everything wrapped up by the time this starts. Go Cavs! Go Bucks! Go Tribe!
Nice drive Simmons
Zizic looking real good.
Colson in. JR getting silly.
Isaiah Taylor with the tough finish!!!
Zizc has legit post skills
Clarkson of the dribble!!!
Another finish zizic!!!! And Clarkson on the break!!!
Zizic is 10x more skilled than TT even at pinning a small for a layup entry pass.
Zizic with post up and finish!
ZZ is killing the Celtics
Preston is raw, but what a find. The guy could have been a lottery pick with a year of college to develop.
Nice ball fake and drive by Preston… But had terrible finishing strong at the rim… Saw the same thing in summer league
Trouble not terrible
Will we see 20 minutes a game from him this year? Will Lue trust him?
No way. He’ll be in for garbage time.. if he even plays.
Ranking the roster: Love, Cedi, Sexton, Nance, JR, Korver, Hill, TT, Nwaba, Hood, Clarkson, Dekker, Frye, Zizic.
Zizic almost single handedly has us in the bonus.
Cavs 3rd string owning the Celtics starters lmao ooooooo
Nice read Clarkson !
Jr with the fade away!!!!
Preston with the pure mid range j!!!
Nice read and pass by Jr
I haven’t had a chance to watch any of the game tonight, but I hope Bill Simmons is enjoying it.
I’m sure he’s watching the Red Sox.
Oh, I’m sure he’s sitting in front of a wall of tv’s. One tv for every sporting event.
Zizic with the finish! And 1!!!
Sorry my comments are behind. Started after it was live. Dekker is not a great player, but I loved seeing him juke Tatum out of his shoes.
Celtics are thugs. Olynyk. Crowder. Smart. Baynes. Horford. And then there is Kyrie. Other than Hayward, not much to like.
Meanwhile, looks like Taylor is the favorite for spot #15. Preston + 1 on the two way spots.
Maybe someday the NBA can include trying to yank a guy’s arm off as a flagrant foul? Just a thought.
I know it’s just preseason ball, but do we have the Celtics number? They look to be playing hard and playing their starters for the most part. Cavs punching them in the face two first halves now.
KEEP DREAMIN ARCH—HOPE THEY ALL COME TRUE FOR YOU -(US )
Still screwed out of a point on that obvious Cedi 3. Should be 58.
They changed it!
Man nice pass Nance but hood can’t knock down the wide open 3
Sexton does not have the demeanor of a rookie.
Gonna be WAY better than Collison.
Collision is Sexton-ultralight
Collison is a solid player. If that’s the floor, I’m good.
My dream scenario is that the Cavs play the Celtics in Round 1 and upset them, and Kyrie leaves for the Knicks, then misses out on the playoffs the following year. Plus the Lakers don’t make the playoffs and Draymond kicks Durant in the nutts, as they lose to Utah in the Semis.
Lol
CEDI OFF THE DRIBBLE PURE!!!
Cedi’s shot looks so good. He’s killing Tatum too.
Cedi for three! Nice and easy.
Wow Zizic finds dekker on the left wing forn3
Wtf are the Indians doing?
WTF = Not Awesome
Baynes is a thug. Pulling an Olynick. Given the similarities seems Stevens is coaching his guys to yank guys arms like that on boxouts. Boy he is dirty.
Wtf with Decker.
Wtf=awesome
Nice ball movement! Decker 3!
Nice defense hood on tatum
Celtics completely blowing off the Cavs and Cavs not letting them get away with it.
Lol. Cavs can’t buy a whistle. Nance.triwd to do a bit too much.
Wow Cedi free throw looks money!
This was sweet.

Dekker giving tatum the business!!!
Dekker with a fantastic drive and finish.
Dang, we look pretty good. Dekker even.
Tuning in late… Great shot and pass sexton and great finish dekker
Wtf with Collin’s shooting.
Wtff=awesome.
Zizic much better tonight.
End of quarter was the no pass zone. Started by Clarkson.
Cavs takin a terrible shots
Argh. Clarkson takes the dumbest shots.

Yeah Baynes going for the Olynyk move.
Man if JR’s shot hadn’t been AWOL last season…
I love JR!
Swish!hot!
Horford is such a gd putz
JR isn’t ejected
Smart is also a moron.
Wow. This is more entertaining then the Indians. Baynes is a dirty punk.
They didn’t replay what baynes did. What was it?
https://twitter.com/World_Wide_Wob/status/1048724553562836992?s=20
Baynes tried to do an Olynyk on JR.
I’ve heard others make the same comment
Bye jr
JR still in so far. Freaking Celtics thugs.
Swish!
Great pass cedi!
Sexton showing great patience, vision so far.
Ballgame, Astros. :(
Two too easy looks for Horford.
Collin again!
Nice start so far! Nice shooting by Collin and Cedi! Like the aggressiveness on the boards.
Why even bother playing this game? Don’t guys need to get some reps before the season starts? Pathetic. At least Cedi is still playing.
Wait Ithought Nance was supposed to be in the starters. If TT starts or plays more than 10 mpg this year I will pull my hair out.
He will. Don’t do that. It hurts and doesn’t always grow back.
