Live Thread: Cavs vs Nuggets
2020-03-07It’s another Saturday Night, Cavs fans! The Nuggets are in town, and they’ve won six of the last ten. Before they squeaked by Charlotte on Thursday, and lost a surprising game to the Dubs on Tuesday. Cleveland sports a cast of wounded tonight. Kevin Porter Jr., Darlius Garland, Andre Drummond, and Dante Exum are all out, while Dean Wade is questionable. Tristan Thompson and Alfonzo McKinnie return to the lineup, tough!
For Denver only Bol Bol is listed as out, which saves us from some needed comedy. Denver should have the depth to run Cleveland, tonight, and I expect the Cavs’ limited bench to give way late to a 116-108 Nuggets victory. But it should be entertaining. Go Cavs!
I’d challenge that putback for an offensive goaltend.
It looked fishy…
Whats Ced’s % since the break? Shot seems smoother somehow
He seems more confident and not hesitating. No hitch in his motion.
Sexton pissen em off!
Only issue is cleaning up off ball miscues on d. Sexton with a bad possession tho. Can’t get sloppy into hero ball.

Surprised TT didnt get called for a reach in lol
Sexton with another steal and layup!!!!! Up by five, Malone losing it tech foul.
Nice simple swing pass by delly for sexton trey.
This 3rd quarter offense is real pretty. Delly running a clinic
Yep
Nice drive and kick from sexton for wide open cedi Corner trey. Some good ball movement and off ball cutting tonight. Just have to clean up defensive miscues and stay home off ball when defending.
Great give and go btwn love and delly, and another nice cut from cedi.
Excellent
Delly 8 asts to 1 tov. Sexton 16 pts on 8/12 with 3 asts to 2 tov, 1 stl. Love an efficient 5/9 with 13 pts on fgs alone. Osman 12 pts on 5 shots and 3 threes. Nance with some great d and a couple buckets. Cavs with 6 total tovs. Played pretty ok the first half save for some defensive miscues.
Give and go, Delly! Keep em honest!
Crazy. The cavs shot 3 total fts. The nuggets shot 4 total fts.
These guys are going to run out of gas again. 8 guys played. Love with 20 min, Sexton and Thompson with 19. Actually what am I talking about? Starters used to average 36-40 mins a game.
Golden turd.

Pretty fun half.
Nice d and recognition to leak out by tt. Nice recognition by love tt was leaked out.
Great outlet kev for a Thompson dunk Cavs really closed the half well
Every screen jokic sets he either moves or holds the player he is screening.
You notice him using his leg to knock guys off the block on post ups?
Yeah. Crafty. I get why he doesn’t get called. He is subtle compared to a lot of guys.
Nance with a fantastic play on porter at the end of half.
Nice effort to finish the quarter
Nice steal and dunk by sexton
Jokic hits the dirk fallaway
That’s a shot I would always give him. Make him earn it by scoring.
Gross. Never overplay off jokic. Book is out on him and denver. Stay below your man always.
Jokic should have five fouls already.
Closeout love!!!!
Nice cut by sexton and pass by delly to find him. Gave it up by getting backdoored on the other end tho.
Sexton got held by jokic on that harris layup.
Amazed cavs are back in it – Nugs no killer instinct for their talent level
That was a bad tov by cedi at 6:36. Just lost the ball. Handle is so shaky for a wing.
Sexton is a one man break. I expect him to finish most of the time now on true breaks.
Beautiful move Kev followed by a padawan triple.
Love warming up after missing everything on his first two threes.
Boy zizic missed a bunny.
Every time Plumlee’s at the line my buddy and I sing
edelweiss.
Delly gets kev a reload.
Nance is unbelievable this game,
Bad delly tov saved from being an automatic layup by nance.
Ziz. Come. On.
Plumlee is unpleasant to look at.
All the Plumlees are
And 1!!! Cedi focus…
Don’t love tt postups. Maybe just against jokic to try get him in foul trouble.
What is Mike Fratello doing?? I thought he worked for the Clippers?
He’s usually in a broadcast once a week.
Mckinnie with a nice qtr. Couple nice cuts for dunks off dimes. Nice drive.
So hard to judge that quarter. But Sexton seems to have a very green light.
Wish we had more knockdown shooters.
Dayum, Murray…
Rainmaker.
Nice hustle, Nance.
Another nice dish by sexton for yet another wide open Mckinnie dunk. Assists of the night.
Delly dime!
Could see that jerami Grant offensive foul coming from 75 feet away.
Tt still shooting threes. Not sustainable
Nice dish by sexton for wide open mckinnie dunk
I’m fine with 1-2 a game if they’re leaving him open.
Larry Nance is one of the best defenders in the NBA and can guard all five positions.
Love gets stripped so easily and beat so easily on d. Feel like he is just a defensive rebounder/three point shooter now.
Yeah, he shows the ball a lot these days
Collin’s usage at like 75% this game.
At 7:12 left in my stream he is like 3/5.
Don’t know if the Cavs are gonna be able to run Larry at the three against this squad.
Does a nice job on Barton though.
Unnecessary double of jokic leading to wide open shots off hockey assists. Dumb. Force jokic to prove he can torch you by having to put up ridiculous scoring numbers. Rather that than easy buckets for his teammates.
Yeah. They keep getting the switch they want.
Love McKinnie’s hops, welcome back man!
Three steps by jokic.
Finally, Kevin
Sexton shooting everything. This is gonna be a mess.
Fact. Sexton played good d on the Jokic post resulting in a switch and travel. Fought thru the screen enough to delay the pass and bodied up and chucked jokic on the roll.
And again on holiday.
That time out was two possessions too late. Man Sexton with three terrible possessions in a row before that bucket.
Bwahwaha! Love firing rocks at the bucket. Two equally bad backboard balls on threes that didn’t hit the rim from either side of the top of the key.
Quite like these Cavs unis.
Murray’s come to play…

FORGOT ALL ABOUT BOL-BOL—WHAT HAS HIS SEASON BEEN LIKE ——REALLY GETTING BUMMED ON DRE’S ABSENCE
Go Cavs. Hope to still be in the hunt in the last 5 min, depends if the Nugs play conservative I guess.
