— Cleveland Charge (@ChargeCLE) March 4, 2020
Really cool video here on Sir’Dominic Pointer, who’s been grinding in the G League for five years before being called up to the Cavs. If you haven’t followed the Charge, they’ve won seven straight and ten in a row at home after a double OT win this afternoon in Canton. Sir’Dominic is one of the team’s leaders, and even though he’s averaging just 12 points, he’s adding 5.7 rebounds, 2 dimes, and 2 steals in 26 minutes a night.
As for Cleveland, They’re limited to 7 guys tonight (10 if you count the G-Leaguers and Pointer) as they are again without Drummond, McKinnie, Exum, Garland, and Thompson. The Celtics will be without Jaelyn Brown, Javonte Green, Gordon Hayward, Kemba Walker, and Robert Williams III. The Celtics’ scrubs are usually the world beaters, so I don’t have a lot of confidence.
Apparently Dean Wade did not play for Canton today while Matt Mooney did, so maybe we’ll see Wade. Cavs hang close, but lose late 115-108 as Marcus Smart does something dumb yet somehow gets rewarded. Hope I’m wrong. Go Cavs.
Antonio Lang just got in Sexton’s ear… sure looked like some lazy “help” on that last play.
WTF was that defense?????????
They’re gassed.
Bad.
Sexton ripping thru for drives. J has been a bit cold of late.
Reverse jinx
Love with a hell of a possession back there.
Keystone Cops, but get the bucket!!
Wow that was an insane possession. I never expected love or zizic to come up with the loose balls.

LOVE WITH THE HUSTLE!!!
much better defense by the Cavs in the 3rd quarter… gonna need to lock it down in the 4th.
Pace of this game slowing dramatically
Feel like if Cavs push the pace, Celtics may not be interested in matching.
Sexton made some good passes tonight. Nance killing them inside.
soft touch on the jump hook Love… Love and Sexton cooking again on offense… Nance joining in tonight too.
Oof bad decision there sexton. Got lucky cs couldn’t take advantage.
Sexton still on fire in the paint. Good cut and dish by love.
Careless tov.
Think wade tripped over his own feet.
my, that George fella is a cheery sort. :)
Thanks for sending him away!
There’s your answer nate. Inadvertent contact with Dean Wade
Koby signing Nance to that team friendly deal was definitely shrewdest move of the year for him.
Maybe in his entire tenure
have to think about it, but you’re probably right LOL
Nice dump off delly
WOULD NOT MIND SEEING SIR DOM GET A LITTLE RUN TIME
DO ENJOY SEEING THE “SHRINKAGE ” OF T.O.’S THE LAST FEW GAMES
Delly’s jumper is broken again
This was expected
Cedi rejected, man
Rough night. Worst game in a long while.
Might need some Sir Dom.
Williams is a Menace.
Someone pass to love.
….could be the story of the season
Osman cold as ice tonight
Wow Sexton
Next level movement…scary quick!!
that’s just awful defense on Smart by Sexton… turned around for no reason, fouled him for no reason.
Torching them on drives on the other end tho
yeah, like the offense, doesn’t matter when you’re a defensive atrocity.
That isn’t untrue.
Sexton on fire at the basket.
Celtics a little lax. Good cavs taking advantage.
Nifty finish Sexton! Great pass, Nance!
Sexton using his gravity
Good pass Sexton. Bad d celtics
How’d porter hit his head?
Not sure. Making dinner. Half tuned in
I bet it was Williams. That dude is a Menace.
THANK YOU NATE SAYS THE ” ZIZIC INDIOT ” FORMERLY KNOW AS NOMAD : -)
Wear it proudly, Nomad!!
Sorry I wasn’t around to ban the troll
Sometimes I have to troll him in his own cadence.
He’s so insufferable. I feel bad for him. It’s just sad.
Something definitely isn’t going right in his life if he wastes his time trolling like that.
Great close to the half
Yeah they could have collapsed. Showed some fight after they got down by 13
Should be up more
Nance got absolutely hammered on the head.
SPEAKING OF SUCKS —BY GEORGE I THINK YOU GOT IT
Says the idiot who thinks zizic is good.
Seek mental help
That wade guy sucks.
Imagine the black hole of suck that is Osman replaced with LeBron. We’d win it all.
We would get torched by the clippers or bucks.
I just missed Booby????!!
Yessir
Argh.
Sexton and love. The rest sucked. Osman and delly should be cut.
Nance definitely did not suck.
Yeah. He’s been good lately.
Tatum is a terrible passwr
Wish we had him.
Need garland to get back soon. Delly is miserable.
Both are terrible.
JUST TUNED IN SEE IT IS THE ” GORGE ” SHOW
Right now Sexton is the best player on the court.
Blind
just tuned in, KLOVE came to play
Ugh. Delly bricks another.
Meanwhile LeBron is still out there destroying stuff. Too bad this blog didn’t appreciate him while he was her e.
Blind
It’s a shame we let Lue go.
Lue didn’t want to be here
Betweeen Osman and Delly their is zero defense.
Sexton too.
Delly sucks.
Celtics have all this talent and are still
Held back by their coach.
Sexton is good now.
He sucks hard at defense. Sucks.
Delly, as usual, the worst defender on the court.
Blind.
That was a truly awful last possession in the first by sexton.
If we can replace Osman with a real nba level starter we might be decent next year.
Cols, you could say that about everyone else too.
Yeesh. They just might have something in this Tatum kid.
Wade and zizic are so bad.
Wade with some ups
Zizic isn’t bad at finishing. If nothing else, nice to have a banger when tt is out.
Except when he misses a bunny
I wonder how good this Celtics team could be if they had a real coach.
Cedi is single handedly losing this game for us.
Porter is like 50 50 great play, bad play. Makes great pass then gambles for steal leading to layup.
NO DOUBT —–IN TOP 15 PLAYERS IN THE LEAGUE ???
Easily
I like these unis and floor. These should be the main unis.
Tatum is a true beast now.
MY MAN SIR DOMINICK —-GOOD FOR HIM—-HE CAN DEFEND —HIS OFFENSIVE SKILLS HAVE IMPROVED SINCE BEING DRAFTED —-GOOD ATTITUDE / HUSTLES –PLAYS HARD THE ENTIRE GAME —–GOOD LUCK “SIR ” ———–AM GETTING FRUSTRATED WITH THE DRE SITUATION —–HOW MANY GAMES HAS HE SAT SINCE BEING A CAV —WHAT’S UP WITH T.T. ??
