Live Thread: Cavs vs Nets
2021-01-20NBA Champion, Kyrie Irving is back in Cleveland! He also gets to spend two days on the jewel of Lake Eerie as the Cavs take on his Nets tonight and Friday. He’ll be joining Durant and Harden as three of the best offensive players ever to play together get to take the floor for the first time. Taking them on? Collin Sexton! Who rejoins his squad after missing a few weeks. Darius Garland and Dylan Windler are still on the bench and will hopefully return Friday No ETA on Love or Delly
Nic Claxton is out for the Nets and Spencer Dinwiddie is out for the year. Unfortunately, Kevin Porter Junior may never take the floor again in a Cavs uni after last weekend’s unpleasantness, but newly minted Cavs Taurean Prince and Jarrett Allen will play for Cleveland tonight. It should be fun!
Also back in the Fieldhouse? Austin Carr returning from Covid protocol!
Drummond just son’d DJ
HEY DRUMMOND FINISHED A POST PLAY!!!!
when Drummond goes up strong, he wins, he just hates the contact.
wow, great defense, but better offense.
Cavs were +11 i think at tip off.
WAS THINKING THE SAME ABOUT PRINCE —IT IS STILL EARLY——-NERVES / LACK OF PRACTICE TIME / ETC
Unreal defensive play by sexton and a godawful turnover by Prince.
Getting a bit bumpy after hot start to the quarter.
GREAT PLAY BY SEXTON——FUN WATCHING THE CAVS AGAIN
A little late, but…
Man Taurean Prince does not impress me whatsoever.
HOLY CRAP SEXTON!!!! WHAT A PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG SEXTON!
Eastern conference champion, Jeff Green, for three.
Cedi ennnn fuego!!!
CEDI EN FUEGO!!!!!!!! what’s turkish for on fire???
Nice pass, dre.
Looks like a Cedi game tonight…
GREAT PASS DRUMMOND!!!! CEDI GREAT CUT AND FINISH!!!
Drummond’s offense has been AWFUL so far.
Drummond dribble drive, missed shot and turnover.
Andreeeeee we don’t want you to score bud
LMFAOOOO we do, just not that way!!
Sexton cold and rusty.
great pass Cedi, Sexton missed wide open 3.
Sexton needs to take the shot….. too passive putting guys in bad positions.
So just 8 in the rotation tonight?
Dumb foul by Prince…just let him have that…
AWFUL call. literally didn’t touch him.
Allen might be longer than javale or Drummond. Holy crap.
GREAT CHALLENGE ALLEN!!!!
Who threw that pass!?
Wow what a pass by Osman!!!
SEXTON FINISH 15-0 RUN!!!???
REALLY THINK THE CAVS / PLAYERS ARE BUYING IN ON THE DEFENSIVE END / TAKING PRIDE WITH HOW THEY PLAY THE ‘D’
Sweet finish. Great close to the quarter.
SO IT LOOKS AS IF THE CAVS HAVE NOT CUT TIES WITH KPJ—-LISTED AS PERSONAL
Harden with the ol not hurt my fg % heave after the buzzer, just can’t stand em
Cedi! 2 threes and 3 frees!
Nice close to quarter. Nets had a big win over the Bucks last game. Bit of a letdown game for them.
It’s so cool seeing the Cavs with a good defensive squad…a bit overranked right now due to a soft schedule, but they are a legit decent defense…
Harden being disrespectful, didn’t want to take the heave LMFAOOOO
I AM IN LOVE WITH ALLEN ALREADY—-PRINCE NEEDS TO TIGHTEN “THE HANDLES ” OR PLAY TO HIS STRENGTH—SPOT UP SHOOTER —-GOOD 1ST QTR
CEDI FOUR POINT PLAY?!!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!
Dotson good play
Man the Nets depth looks bad
Nets ran into a buzz saw tonight! /s
Cedi!!! Wet
CEDI THREEEEEEE!!!!!!!
SEXTON STEAL SEXTON PASSED ON A FAST BREAK!!!
SEXTON HUSTLE!!! love his attack!
BLOCKED BY ALLEN!!!!
He’s a natural at shot blocking wow.
Nance found the open guy, Prince just missed.
ALLEN WITH A SALUTE BLOCK TO A.C.—“GET THAT WEAK STUFF OUTTA HERE “
Nance with the Love hook!
NANCE POST UP AND SCORE???
Prince can’t dribble.
We’re going to love Allen…
Like aggressive Nance, What aa block allen!
WOW JARRETT ALLEN HELLO!!
Nance does a lot of work to get a good shot, can’t make it.
Drummond is RUSTY
Woof. Drumm and Larry proving worst case scenarios in the half court that we discussed all day.
Sexton shooting is good offense, AND1!
Harden gets called for the cheapo for a change…
Dre post fail, leads to turnover and transition basket.
leaving kyrie wide open at the top of the key… bad defense.
WOW, Harden just went to town there.
OKORO DRIVE AND FINISH!
Dre post fail, and doesn’t get back on defense in time.
NANCE STEAL COAST TO COAST!!!!
Sexton too tentative on the 2nd 3… let it fly.
Sweet finish, Cedi.
good shot Sexton, just missed.
what a play Nance!!!! CEDI FINISH!
DJ is just a turnstile who occasionally blocks a shot these days…
great matchup to exploit for Andre… looks good early!
