Live Thread: Cavs vs. Wizards (#TuesdayMagic)
2019-01-29
It’s that day again Cavs fans… time to see if the magic of Tuesday can return for the wine & gold. After a stumble on the last one against the Pelicans (despite a furious comeback), what better team for the Cavs to conjure up another Tuesday win against than the visiting Wizards? After all, Cleveland had one of their more convincing victories the last time they saw Washington on December 8th.
For the first time, though, a Tuesday victory could result in just the second “win streak” of the season, coupled with the team’s gritty win on Sunday in Chicago. After mounting a rare comeback on the road against the Bulls, led by a solid effort from the bench, the starting back court and another promising game by Cedi Osman, the Cavs seem at least in decent spirits, despite still being plagued by injuries.
Prediction: Tuesday tradition requires me to prognosticate a lopsided score in favor of the opponent in order to properly fire up the Cavaliers… therefore I’ll say 133-103 Wizards.
Catch all the action, starting at 7pm EST on FSO… and, as always chime in below…
C3DI!!
The force bolt! Cedi with the runout and1
Man… I still hate Jeff Green…
Love that kiss off the glass by Nance!
Capt. Band Aid!
Sexton doing nothing. Literally nothing.
That was some good coaching by me.
ZZ aiming for double double by half…
SCORING / SHOOTING LIKE THE WEATHER OUTSIDE ——COLD !!!!!
Zizic really boarding.
putrid stretch. Why did Sexton pick up his dribble.
Too indecisive… also Sato is pretty long and a good defender at the point…
That pass was awesome though
Think it is because he doesn’t trust his handle, likely for good reason.
He literally has zero idea of how to play as a point guard. I mean he is young, but most talented high school point guards have some idea how to run a p and r. What the heck were they doing at Alabama.
” OH YES GOOD PASSING—GOOD INTERIOR PASSING “—-GOTTA LOVE A.C.’S COLORFUL COMMENTARY
Through the wickets…
Not a great game for Deng…
He doesn’t have good hands. Don’t like how he slides on d either. Stiff.
Sexton looks pretty lost right now… Sato at 6’7 making it tough on him…
IF CAVS KEEP THE BALL MOVING –THEY MIGHT GET 30 ASSISTS –JUST GOOD TO SEE MORE MOVEMENT THE LAST FEW GAMES —CAN TOLERATE WATCHING / EVEN IN A LOSS
Wow… late call…

Only 3 Wizards have scored…
Mic-d up Delly is awesome…
Smart drive by Delly…
Good first quarter… Cavs seem spry… sharing the ball well. Just gotta guard the perimeter a bit better…

Larry got his hop back
Watch out.
Great floater by the Jedi
Brad Beal is the star the Lakers should be targeting…
Cedi with three straight bad possessions

Cedi sniffa out a terrible outlet pass
Cedi steal and slam!
Collin with a dumb foul

Nice closeout on Beal by Ante!

beautiful opening possession by the Cavs.
Nice work to get Ante a shot inside… good follow up on the second chance by the big man…
Cavs got those ice cold unis on tonight…
JOHNB —-AGREED THAT 50 GRAND IS FRIGGIN ‘CHICKEN FEED ‘—-TOTAL B.S. !!!
Guarantee that is planned to come out of Rich Paul’s next commission.
Rich Paul is good at his job. 50k is a drop in the pond for AD. Ugh. Scheming and hustling as usual.
Meanwhile, Magic Johnson is bad at his job… since it takes something like this for him to get a shot at a second star for the Lakers…
Lol true. Rich Paul basically threw the equivalent of three 75 mile four seamers straight down the middle for him.
I WILL MAKE A PREDICTION —-IT IS GOING TO BE COLD TONIGHT—-BOLD PREDICTION HUH —-WILL SEXTON SHINE ON HIS “BOBBLEHEAD ” NIGHT —-I SAY HE GOES FOR 17 / 5 / 3 /3 —ON 16 SHOTS ——–PREDICT CEDI TO CONTINUE HIS HOT STREAK—WILL GET 17 +——–CAVS WILL LOSE 113—-105 ———–GOT THE “LOG IN THE FIRE PLACE “—SOME FINE WINE AND AN EVEN “FINER ” WIFE TO CUDDLE UP WITH——LIFE IS GOOD—LIVING THE DREAM !!! : )
