Live Thread: Cavs vs Hornets
2020-12-23Babies have been conceived and delivered since the Cavs last played meaningful basketball. Since then, a champion has been crowned, a draft has been held, players across the league have switched teams, and James Harden has been to more strip clubs than their are NBA roster spots. It’s been a LOOONG nine months.
The Cavs look to run a lineup with newly minted starter Isaac Okoro, while the Cavs are missing Kevin Love, KPJ, Dante Exum, and Matthew Dellavedova. Bickerstaff won’t say who else will start, yet. But it’s safe to say that Drummond and Garland are locks. Who else starts between Sexton, Osman, and Nance Jr. probably won’t be revealed till tip-off.
For Charlotte…
Lineup note: Hornets will start Graham, Rozier, Hayward, Washington, Zeller on Wednesday.

To say I’m not thrilled about the prospect of Sexton starting over Osman would be an understatement, but that’s life, I guess.
Let’s hope the Cavs can defend on the perimeter and dominate inside. Should be a fun one.
ICE shows no mercy on the rim 👍😋
Oh my1 ICE!!
I know the Hornets stink, but Cavs solid so far…
DG FINALLY!
Time for Dotson to stroke a 3.
Cavs offense humming thanks to nance and sexton!
Mcgee iso for three point play
DWade solid…
JaVale solid so far 👍
McGee is playing really well. Bonus offense!
Apparently Hulu doesn’t have Fox Sports Ohio anymore. Anyone know where to get the game other than Spectrum?
ATT online.
Sent u a limk
Nice finish wade
Sexton ballin’. 6-6 FGs. 3-3 3s. 18 pts. No TOs.
Floor balance is garbage.
Sexton ridiculously hot…
Sexton kill em.
Drummond way too big for Charlotte.
nance might mess with a triple double!
Don’t like when Dre dribbles for 7-10 seconds/ pass and cut 👍
Sexton with solid post d last time down.
“Ditto” what you said Mike O —- man crush already started on ICE
Gotta say. Sexton has been solid offensively.
4-4 for a dozen. Two triples. More than solid.
put in that work between the knicks and now!!!
JB staggering Garland/ Sexton big time so far
Got too. Exum and Delly are both out. Not another PG on the roster. KPJ out. I guess if we rest both we could run O through Cedi, LNJ, or Dre, but I am not sure I want heavy doses of that.
yup that would be turnover city.
Okoro is really good in transition. Sexton and Nance really playing well.
Mark me down as an Okoro superfan…dudes like him help you win games…
ICE “ melts “ the Nets 👍
Way to go Dylan!
Cavs doing a nice job of working through Drummond.
nance & drummond balling
That’s a shot we don’t need.
Ok with it. Late in the shot clock set shot that was open. That’s the only time he should that.
Let’s get Windler going : would love to see him go on a “ Streak “
If Windler and DG can get their 3 eye going, it will go a long way…
Give my some Dylan!
That 3 pt shot from LNJ was “ pure “
For all of us (including me) clamoring for Cedi to start: 1-5. 4 boards. 1 dime. 1 TO. 0-2 from deep.
I count 6 layups or dunks for Charlotte. Five in the last 3 minutes of the quarter.
bench struggling a little bit
DG and Cedi struggling with their shot, but contributing in other ways… DG 2 assists one steal, and Cedi 4 rebounds already.
Kinda too 3 happy. That was a loonnng one from Cedi.
Sexton dialed in, scoring wise. LNG for Wade.
Man, Sexton red hot…
How long a leash do we think Wade gets at PF before we see Okoro/Windler/Cedi at the 4 some? Or big lineups with McGee & Drummond?
Not that he has been an issue thus far.
Preseason “ hot “ cedi suddenly gone cold
Two straight of the cavs not getting back on d
Issues with the D. AlleyOop fest. Geez.
Mcgee solid so far
was very good last year too.
As much as I have mocked him over the years, he is pretty smart in his play out there. Way smarter than most of the younger guys.
TOs still an issue. But decent start overall. Sloppy from both teams.
Someone hit a 3.
One thing Ty was good at
Yeesh, Garland just has to start nailing open shots…
Cavs baseline inbounds have been abysmal for four straight games.
Love lite 👍
Our IB plays are automatically a TO 😡
The Cavs have looked clueless on inbounds every game so far…it’s not that hard, guys…
That Drummond coast to coast fiasco was garbage, btw…he can get that shot at any time…
Dg missing that alley oop To nance :(
Otherwise can’t complain. Sexton is so much more fun (better) than DG Imho
Still not a fan of Dre trying to go 1 on 1, from the 3 pt line 😆
Nate that’s actually “ my hairline “ 🤡
Decent Cavs d and cold Charlotte o.
Brick city from the Hornets…
Zeller stole Jason Statham’s hairline.
Cavs actually looking sharp…so far…
Nice stop Ike.
Nice feed, DG!
Nice and one, Collin…
Sexton lucky there. Drummond should’ve been an easy feed.
News flash —- love / Exum hurt / not playing …. “ and the best goes on” 😂
Sexland starters sucks ….. more beer 🍺 please
I expect our guards to get roasted to start the game, especially Sexton who probably isn’t back in game readiness. Cedi and Okoro should be starting. It’s probably politically almost impossible to not start Sexton.
So much for PT being determined by how you play. Hit 80% of your 3s and get benched!
JB has zero credibility right off the bat. Gonna be a long season.
Yeah not a fan of not starting Cedi

pathetic choice JB!
