Live Thread: Cavs vs Raptors
2019-03-11We’re entering the home stretch, Cavs fans. The season is almost 80% done. Tonight the Cavs take on the For the Cavs, Kevin Love will play tonight, while our old buddy Matthew Dellavedova is in the NBA’s concussion protocol. Tristan Thompson’s sore foot is somewhere partying with beautiful women, so he’ll also be out. For the Raptors, Kawhi Leonard returns after missing a game due to “load management.” Kyle Lowry and Marc Gasol will start tonight, after some doubt due to the back to back, and the time share with Pau and Ibaka.
Personally, I’m rooting for the Cavs tonight, mainly because I want the suddenly surging Pistons to take down the Raps in the playoffs, for some Dwayne Casey comeuppance. Probably won’t happen. Go Cavs.

Fantastic! Looking forward to reading about this one!

NWABA NASTY DUNK!!!
Channing sighting!
Sextonto?
Lmaoooo yesssssss!!!!
lol…
Cavs just dominated Toronto, and they didn’t even shoot that well. Wow. If they make the playoffs next year, that will be so fantastic for Sexton cedi and Nance.
Phoenix beats the Bucks and Golden State. We beat the Raptors. WTF!?
.
Cavs are at least moving that rock and getting penetration on the regular now. They are not a fun team to defend, zone be damned
Touchdown Cediiiii
Touchdown love TO cedi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice show and go, Sauce!
That Screen call was THIN. Raps gonna try to junk up this game to come back.
Cedi!
Ok. Just checked the score, and I’m speechless. If they hold on, is this the win of the year?
Has to be.
Legit starter to the “Larry Drew should stay” conversation.
Good timeout.
Toronto didn’t want to be here from the beginning, but this is still a great win if we keep it.
Really like this timeout from drew.
Sauce with a great drive and pass, Zizic finish! Sauce for 3!!!!!!!!
Stop jacking! They’re gonna call this tight. Get to the line!
Cavs beating them up tonight!
How do we not get free throws off of Ibaka literally just attacking Chriss? Saying that Chriss defending himself cancels that out is complete BS.
Agreed. I’d be livid if I was Drew. Wonder what he said.
Wow ibaka just went crazy….
That was 100% on Ibaka. Chriss probably won’t even get tossed. LOL.
Damn, forget throwing him out, they should arrest Ibaka for that. He literally went for Chriss’s throat.
SEE YA, SERGE!!!!
This is crazy…. Sexton absolutely balling out here…. Cedi grinding out a few points and assists too! Chris making hustle plays!
WHOA! Pat McCaw got dusted by Sexton. Is there a borderline NBA player who overplayed his hand worse than McCaw?
Quiche. Hard off the backboard…
Cavs really doing a great job of using their fouls judiciously.
Cavs just really taking advantage of an over-collapsing Raptors defense.
Kevin Love has become an elite shooter.
Sexton and love have some great chemistry!!!
GREAT play by Collin to zip up the floor and then hit the trailing love for three.
Cavs really playing against this zone well.
just chkn in.. 69-58.. oops.. 69-64.. sexton en fuego.. impressive performance against a top seed.. proceed..
as one of his earliest supporters, i now pronounce chriss as moldy cheese.. time to throw it out.. it will only get smellier the longer you keep it
Wow Sexton on fire!!!!!!
ZZ! nice shot.
Sexton ‘s offense gone to another level past few weeks.
Glad to see Stauskas is slowing changing my mind. If nothing else, I respect his hustle.
“STARQUEESE” JUST PLAYING A STEADY HALF—-ALL WE WANT FROM HIM —-WILL PREDICT RAPTORS WILL WIN 111–106 —I CAN HANDLE THAT
2 bad shots cedi…. Nice hustle Chris.
Sexton gotta get the ball to love on that mismatch.
Overall, Cavs are playing great, they’re in this game against one of NBAs best teams.
Cavs played with a ton of energy that half.
Chriss with a not awful half in terms of floor game. Not shooting well, but making the right play and hustling on D. Cavs physical around that basket.
Stauskas! Finally!
Sauce baby!!!!!!!!!!! Way to let it fly!!!
LOL. Kev gets a total bailout call.
Sexton baby!!!!!!! Loved the way he got cedi another play in the post. Sauce has missed 3 great looks…. That was bad…. AC right, let them fly!!!
Sexton has to get back on D. Cripes.
Yezus. Stauskas.
What a sequence back there, by the Cavs. Hustle and unselfishness.
The Collin Sexton floater is unfeated.
Wow!!!!! That was amazing team hustle.
Brandon knight and Zizic carrying the offense!!! Wow!
NEED TO GET KLOVE GOING / MORE SHOTS

Nice quarter from the Cavs, couldn’t have shot worse and they have a lead.
“AWOL” T.T. –HAVE WE SEEN THE LAST OF HIM IN CAVS UNIFORM—–STARTING POST PLAYERS DETERMINED ALMOST ENTIRE SEASON BY WHO “WASN’T ” INJURED ………………LETS HAVE ANOTHER “COMPETTIVE ” TANK GAME —–NATE THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR RECENT HARD WORK RESTORING CTB ——NEED MY DAILY CTB FOR EXISTENCE : )
Btw, wrong Gasol in the write up.
Der. Sorry.
Nwaba with such a good three point closeout.
That charge call was trash.
Im going out on a limb and saying Cedi gets his first triple double today. Already at 2/2/3. Id love to see him get it vs Kawhi.
Pretty move, ZZ.
Nice p/r timing, Cedi and Zz. Nice charge taken by Kev.
Pistons-Raps in the playoffs would be a good story, but would be over quickly…much like this game, probably…
