Live Thread: Cavs vs. Hawks (take 2)
2018-10-30
Larry Drew makes his debut tonight as the acting interim coach voice of the Cavs. Sam Dekker looks to start at power forward in Kevin Love’s absense again. Look for the Cavs to play hard after being embarrassed by the Hawks last week. And with this being a chance to silence some of the noise, and to get a win before playing the Nuggets and going on the road for two games.
It’s not hard to imagine that Larry Drew is coaching for a contract tonight, and that a bad showing might leave him out in the cold.
Let’s hope he comes through and this team starts playing better basketball.
ARGH. Sexton missed kyle coming off a pindown and passed to chucky clarkson instead.
Nobody gets back on D for the most part…
Nwaba sighting in 1st quarter!
I’m almost excited for halftime just to see if adjustments are a real thing now
Nice attack Sexton draws the foul
I will say Sexton is really good getting to the line. Plays for contact a little too much sometimes, but he does have a knack for catching guys out of position.
Nance could be a draymond green type player with more minutes and better defense without fouling.
We better get to see Zz tonight.

Fred Mcleod is a great announcer.
Please guard Spellman on the perimeter!!! Sheesh
Nance with the open j!!!
Wait… Hawks have Len AND Lin?
Will the Cavs score 40 in the first?
Why does Kyle have to shoot so many shots off the dribble?
Because nobody passes to him when he’s open… or they pass too late as DW said in the article today…
well…at the moment…because he doesn’t get many passes.
Nance is a triple double threatif we keep featuring him at the elbow
Great pass n Nance!!!! Nice cut and finish hood!!!
Nance has got to start…
MAN. Larry with a fantastic pass. Kyle in.
Great pass LNJ!
Sexton fastest guy on the court!!!!!!! Blows by everyone!!! Nice defense too!
Nance and Korver in…
Tristan with the double, no triple, no quadruple dribble hahaha
Ugliest two points ever by tt
Judging by the play by play, Sexton had been a disaster. Looks like he is letting the Hawks in by himself. Can’t watch right now. Am I off?
he’s been bad but no one else has been good defensively either
Great steal and runout by Sexton to make up for the turnover…
One thing I noticed the other night; TT finishes MUCH better with the left than the right.
Where the hell is Nance??
Jeez Collin… pass the ball…
Yeash. Sexton getting killed on both ends.
it’s not perfect but there’s a real confidence to everyone except Sexton so far.
Defense still a work in progress… shoulda fired Longabardi too…
Cedi finds Dekker on a super awkward pass.
Cedi slow on that closeout.
Great pass by Cedi… Dekker comes through!
Another nice feed from Cedi leads to a Dekker trey.
That was ugly…
Sexton in quickly for Hill who was playing well. Wonder if George comes back with the 2nd unit to mediate Clarkson’s YOLO.
2 fouls on Hill.
Sexton needs to go to the damned basket on the p/r.
Hood with the throwdown & follow up triple. Damn. We start seeing that & we may have to keep Rodney.
that is the first time he has shown any confidence in a cavs uniform. was Lue messing with his head like he was Cedi’s?
Great energy by the team. Glad to see the craziness hasn’t turned them sour. Let’s get a win.
Hood with the 3!!!!!!! What a sequence!!!
what the hell just happened to Hood?
Was it all Lue?

HOOD WITH THE HAMMER!!!!
RODNEY!
RODNEY on a great feed from Ced!
Follows it up with a three!
Ugh Sexton…
Great pass Sexton!!! Great cut and finish dekker!!!!
Trae Young’s shoes are awful…
Nice interior pass by Sexton too…
Hill red hot. Naturally picks up two fouls. :(
Nice cut by the Wrecker…
HILL “AUDITIONING ” AGAIN—-GOOD START !!
It’s so weird to see Alex Len on this Hawks team…
Nice pass hood… Tt can’t finish . Hill 3!!! And nice drive hill!!!
Nice explosion, Hill! That’s what Sexton has to do.
Will Vince Carter wind up being the oldest player in NBA history to hit a three?
Hill Yeah!
Hill with a quick 6.
Goodness what a move trae young
Playing TT and Dekker is like playing 3 on 5…
yeah that spells a loss i think
Didn’t take long for that first Hood deep two…
LOL. Dekker got a highlight for that steal, when it was bad D. An oop, and that would’ve been a dunk.
Nice open j hood…
“DO THE DREW “—GO CAVS !!
Len gets an illegal defense right away.
Rooting for Larry, that’s for sure.
Cavs are supposedly gonna play “a lot tighter” on the perimeter. They’ll probably figure out the refs are calling games differently this season.
Cavs win a tight one 105-103, but it’s a comeback win so it feels really sweet and is a treat for the fans who showed up.
