Live Thread: Cavs vs. Grizzlies
2019-02-23
Well, still no Tristan Thompson, who has been ruled out for tonight’s game, but the rest of the squad (sans JR) is at full strength. They’re taking on very different Grizzlies team than the one that existed before the trade deadline. With Jaren Jackson Jr. out indefinitely, the Grizz are relying on a rotation of Mike Conley, Justin Holiday, Avery Bradley, Bruno Cabloclo, and our old pal Jonas Valanciunas. Also taking us on a walk down amnesia lane will be C.J. Miles, Chandler Parsons, and Joakim Noah. Let’s party like it’s 2015.
This could be a scheduling win for the Cavs as they took on the Clips last night before traveling to the North Coast. Still with a stable full of young guys like Ivan Raab and Delon Wright to go along with their wiley vets, Cleveland should’t take the 23-37 Grizz lightly. It should be a fun matchup. Let’s hope the young guys keep improving and that Kevin Love starts playing like Kevin Love. Go Cavs!
Cedi 3 again!!!!

SEXTON NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO MOVE WITHOUT THE BALL –ESPECIALLY WITH LOVE / NANCE —-ALOT OF BACKDOOR CUT POSSIBALITIES
Great first quarter. Lousy second.
Memphis is bad, but they have Conley & won’t quit.
Nick stauskus. Tank commander.
Sauce two open shots two misses… Needs to make those if he wants to stay.
Nick Stinks Kiss.
Unbelievable offense tonight.
Great ball movement klove too wide open
That Delly pass. Damn.
Delly dime! Sweet catch and finish too!
Delly to Zizic!!!!!!!!!! What a play! Great team defense before that!
Nice jumper Zizic!
Henson when healthy is what we hope Chriss can become.
x2
I like the timeout
Chucky clarkson
I GUESS THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE KNOCK ON “QUEESE ” –THE GOOD CONSISTENT PLAY
Delly floater again!
CAVS NOT TANKING ANYMORE FOR “DAMAGED GOODS ZION “————–SARCASM !!
Yeah…with so many players healthy we are way too good to not win 6-8 more games
Makes you wonder what we could have done if we stayed healthy. Seven seed?
Definitely thought they could compete for the 8 seed.
If Korver/Hill/Hood/JR all stay & play? We would be in the running.
No Delly, however.
Chriss hustles on D one play and then stands there and watches the next. Strange. With some diligence and focus the kid has the tools to be good.
Cavs should Chase Richaun Holmes instead.
Great defense Chris!!!! Clarkson east finish!
Great o board and dime from. Junior!
Nance hustle and Clarkson 3!
Delly
Nice quarter. Great play nwaba. Cavs legit deep now.
Nwaba to Chris for three!!!!!! Their offense is on fire!
Good scouting report on Chriss in general…

Delly floater!!!
Sweet move Chris!!!!!
Nwaba!!! Insane defense!
Sorry to screw up injury report, guys. I missed Henson and Dillon Brooks.
That Noah dunk perfectly encapsulates why teams get annoyed with Chriss and he falls out of rotations.
Nice pass Sexton, Nance had to rush the shot, but it was the right idea.
Chris has to foul there. Noah is awful at the line.
Sexton’s j is wet.
Great hustle Chris!!!! Sexton 3!!!!!!!
Sexton 3!!!!!
WOW OUR FAVORITE “TURD ” NOAH STILL HANGIN AROUND
Bad foul Nance, didn’t move your feet
Sexton too aggressive, but I like the physicality
Looked like a cheap foul call.
Hard to believe Noah is on an NBA court in 2019…
wow, 20-11 cavs.. is lebron on the floor?
Smart play cedi to Zizic for the foul
ante is “money”.. hits his FTs.. just a steady eddy.. i love our bigZZZ.. sign him before he starts putting up the big numbers
i hate to say it, but the kyrie “debacle” isn’t really that anymore, at least for me.. it was a long road, but value was received..
They broke up a championship contender. I’ll never be over it.
LOVE WITH 6 BDS ALREADY—JUST KNOWS HOW TO POSITION HIMSELF
“KNIGHT RIDER ” WITH GREAT PASS TO ANTE —GOOD FINISH BY “ZZ”
Zizic again!
Love 3 on the secondary action!
Great dish klove!
just guessing.. but i think cavs win this one..
Zizic put back!!!!
YES BUCK THERE IS “POWER ” IN 2ND ROUND PICKS—-“IF ” YOU HAVE GOOD SCOUTS
here’s hopin our boy “kolby” has some input into that aspect..
Nice drive and floater knight!!!
Klove with the tough post work!
so, rabb, a 2nd rounder #55 makes 4 of griz 1st 7pts.. typical
A.C. STILL ON HIS “MID RANGE ” PLATFORM
Sexton floater!!!! Looking good early
Prefect ball movement knights gotta hit that. Sexton great drive and finish!
Watching Duke’s 1st half… biggest thing I take away is how good Zion Williamson is on defense…. he might be the best defensive player on the team along with being the most potent offensive weapon.
SEE WHERE REDISH IS STRUGGLING AGAINST “THE CUSE “—BARRET CARRYING THE DUKIES —–JOHNSON / N.C. ANOTHER SELLAR PERFORMANCE AGAINST A SOLID FLA ST TEAM ——18 / 10—-THINK THIS KID IS GOING TO MOVE UP IN THE DRAFT
I AM HUNGRY FOR SOME ” GRIZ ” BURGERS : )
