Live Thread: Cavs @ Thunder
2020-02-05Oklahoma City has been a trouble spot for the Cavs. The Thunder have won five of the last six in the series and a 148—124 drubbing in January of 2018 still stings. Should be an interesting dynamic tonight as both teams deal with trade rumors. Cleveland is without Thompson, who is officially listed as nursing a quad injury. I’m surprised Henson is playing, given the Cavs’ desire to move him. The Thunder are surprisingly healthy, missing only Roberson, though Nerlens Noel did fracture his face last week.
I expect a drubbing here. But maybe Kev and Co. decide to show out. Go Cavs – and if this is the last night we see Thompson sitting on the Cavs’ bench, it’s been a hell of a run.
Garland’s body language this last week or so has been off. Looks a bit flat or despondent.
Frustrated with his shot… letting it affect the rest of his game, just has to mature and learn to keep shooting the 3… instead throwing up bad 2s and turnovers.
GARLAND BABY!!! 2 POINT GAME!
Cedi just nutmegged Gallo!
What a pass to Sexton!

Grizz had more stuff to trade than the Cavs, and also had more draft luck. Not defending Altman et al, but Grizz were also lucky…
Lucky the rest of the NBA is stupid too.
WOW, just let Garland wide open… glad he canned it!
Cedi lookin crisp!
Iguodala for Winslow, and then Iggy gets a $15 million dollar guarantee on a 30mil extension. Nuts.
Offense is humming, passing of the bench guys is ridiculously good…. turnovers and defense once again the problem. Garland non-existent tonight… getting schooled by CP3/Shai/Schröder
NANCE FOR THREEE!!!!!
LMFAOOOO total flop, awful call ref it should’ve been a foul on CP3 for violating the space of the offensive player.
CP3 classic flop…
The P in CP3 stands for phlop.
WOW THAT WAS A FLOP!
Porter’s shot looking a little smoother lately…have to credit coaching for that…
it looks better, i think he’s just letting it fly.
Maybe, but his shot mechanics were super noisy coming into the NBA…I don’t think it’s just shooting more…
not ideal mechanics, but i think whatever they did was a very minor tweak and it worked like a charm… wanna say it’s just smoother with less hitch, which made me think it’s just confidence and not hesitating.
Cavs at least are scrambling on defense, got Gallo to travel!
Hate that foul call on KPJ. So dumb, can’t even move if a guy is that close!
LOVE FOR THREE!!!
Nice close to the 2nd
WOOOOOOOO WHAT A PASS GARLAND TO KPJ!!!
Whoa. Nice oop!
why u shoot that Sexton instead of the wide open 3?
Bout to get ugly I fear
Title of the Cavs ’19-’20 season yearbook…
Nifty pass Henson! KPJ just missed.
HEY! Love heating up!
Love with the flyby three.
nice two man KPJ and Love.
Love weak with the ball in the post, turnover.
Nice play, love.
Cedi, Love, Garland, Exum 2 TOs each.
Delly two nice assists right away
Jesus with the turnovers.
WOW, that was some bad offense…. Cedi i think missed an opportunity to cut to the basket for a give and go with Love. Like the cedi defensive rebound tho
Beilein’s unwillingness to work the refs annoys me.

Wow….but I guess Iggy is there for two years…
Cavs could use a dude like Bazley…
Cabs getting hammered no calls. Thunder getting touch fouls.
My god garland is awful tonight. Sit him down
God that’s a dumb foul…
There was no foul.
There was a foul called…
Let’s agree to disagree.
That’s fine, but when you slap at a driving dunk, you’re going to get the whistle…
Too much passing… Exum just needs to finish that.
or Garland just launch a corner 3.
That call was terrible. Yezus.
Garland is a pylon.
Their guards getting anywhere they want against our turnstile perimeter defense

Just need Love to heat up from an ice cold start and they can stay in the mix!
Not a bad quarter.
NANCE THREE!
Not a terrible quarter.
Sexton’s now legit on the offensive end… too bad his defense is twice as bad as his offense is good.
WOOO SEXTON! WOW!
En fuego
Nance, don’t hesitate… just let it fly!
Wow, Heat get Iggy from Grizz…that is a bit of a surprise…
Really like what Ive been seeing from Nance as of late
Yeah, he’s been pretty good…a second teamer on a good team, but pretty good…
KPJ from LNJ!
not a good pass KPJ, and Love playing really small in the post, ridiculously bad fundamentals.
Cavs playing well… really like henson with the starters. His passing is huge for the starters, especially how TT is one of the worst passers on the team.
Right? He’s showing out for a trade to a contender tonight.
That was the Delly triangle play except with Garland initiating it!
Really nice pass from Nance to Love…
Lazy defense by everyone… no help for Love.
i guess posting up Cedi is gonna be a thing now LOL
Interested to see if collin’s (very) slight improvement in passing continues tonight
WOAH HENSON!!!
Henson flowing early. Think he gets moved to Houston.
For a 2nd?
Maybe?
great give and go Henson to Sexton!
two floaters in a row from the kids.
Sexy.
awful turnover Love… so weak with the ball in the post too many times.
That was a walk.
BEST T.T. MEMORIES IS WHENEVER HE MATCHED UP WITH HORFORD AND COMPLETELY “OWNED ” HIM !!!!!
LOVE THE PICTURE ABOVE WITH ” THE MOZ ” IN THE BACKGROUND / LOVED THAT GUY AND HIS COMMERCIALS ———LOVE PLAYING TONIGHT MEANS CAVS HAVE NO OFFERS / NOT GOING TO TRADE HIM ———SEE MORE OF THE SAME AS LAST GAME –POSSIBLY EVEN WORSE ………….” ALOT MORE BEER PLEASE “
This will be painful.
