Cleveland will start Cedi Osman at the four. Meanwhile, the Denver lineup will be without Gary Harris and Paul Millsap and the questionable Will Barton appears to be starting. We shall see if the Cavs’ shot selection and time off has helped their spirit, or if they really are the worst team in the association right now.
I.B. PLAY MIRACLE —-ASK / BEG AND YOU SHALL RECIEVE :- )
Ok, new game plan. Get a steal and break away dunk every time. This could work.
in rhythm Sexton!!!
How the hell are they only down six?
bench playing defense, Denver’s lack of depth tonight showing in that lineup.
Dotson playing D, he’s almost Drummondesque with the steals
DOTSON’S PLAYING DEFENSE!!!!
SHOUTOUT MCGEE TOO!!!!!
Baseline oob basket! Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!
GREAT PASS WINDLER! MCGEE EASY BUCKET!
OMG a successful inbounds play resulting in 2 points
What?!!!!!!!!!! We scored off an inbounds play!!!!!!!!!
Paging NOMAD!!!
Great pass Dotson on that lob
wonder about Dotson/Garland guard combo vs. Dotson/Sexton. Garland having a nice game but maybe they are managing his minutes?
Dotson should’ve been starting before the losses kept piling up.
Windler gets some incredible rebounds.
He’s pretty physical down there.
I’m really starting to dislike Collin Sexton.
Yes
” GET YOUR ALL STAR VOTES IN FOR SEXTON / DRE ” LMFAO///CLF
I HAVE HAD JR HIGH TEAMS PERFORM // HAVE MORE SUCCES ON IB (IN BOUND ) PLAYS THAN THE CAVS WTF J.B.
Sexton 1-4, 3 TOs, -10 plus/minus… sick of watching him play.
Dotson seemed good out there, Sexton proving he sucks as a point guard.
Interesting line up, relatively small/fast — Sexton, Dotson guards, Windler, Stevens, McGee front court. Wonder if they used vs. Golden State
CAVS MAGICAL NUMBER OF GIVING UP ALMOST 34 PTS / 1ST QTR
Sexton with the ol preserve my fg%
he doesn’t care about team success.
yeah that was pretty bad
Austin Carr with a nice stretch here — “well he deserved it” on Joker getting smacked in the face etc.
nice defense McGee
Ball starting to stick.
we literally have only one adequate passer for tonight’s game unfortunately LMFAOO
DG out, Sexton running point
Pretty long passes there, Garland to Windler, Windler to Allen. Paging Kevin Love…
why Sexton trying to post up anybody?????
Okoro remains an inexplicably bad rebounder.
Yeah it’s so baffling… how can you be out there 30+ mins and pull away 2 rebs???
Campazzo with the flop
if Sexton watched any film, he’d know that about Campazzo LMFAOOO
offensive foul but savor the idea of Sexton taking advantage of a size advantage, a rarity
OMG bring back John Beilein, can someone teach this team to inbound? so dangerous and so unnecessary
GREAT TRANSITION DEFENSE OKORO!!!!
Wtf was Okoro staring at on D?
nice pass Windler!
Nice finish dg.
DG TOOK PORTER TO PAINT!!!!!
Ice!
nice sequence there, Garland stout D
dammit, great rebound Windler, misses the point blank layup.
OKORO FOR THREE!!! off the dribble!
Nuggets perimeter defence is crazy good / active. Harassing shooters and would-be shooters well beyond the 3 point line. Somehow still manage to crowd the paint on those Cavs favorite interior passes (what is the percentage of turnovers on those? bounce passes in the paint…)
That stretch was insane.
silly shot DG, attack Jokic on offense.
LMFAOO denver on pace for 200 points.
They finally missed a shot!
WINDLER DUMP OFF TO ALLEN!
Murray hunting like a rabid wolf.
Nugs make their first 11 shots. Lol nice D!
OKORO MOVING WITHOUT THE BALL!!!
I would love for Sexton to get a mild electroshock every time he holds the ball longer than five seconds…
DG TO ALLEN WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DRIBBLE DRIVE DG!

Lol!!! Yep
Sexton 3! swish
good god, they’re just abusing Sexton.
post up Sexton, got a great shot.
Sexton just dribbling the ball out of bounds LMFAOOOOOOOOO
Sexton another dribble dribble dribble turnover
Cavs coming out….. not punching there JB
THEY AREN’T RUNNING VOYE FOR SEXTON FOR ALL STAR GAME YET ARE THEY —
https://twitter.com/oldseaminer/status/1362919667136921601?s=20
WOW I AM SOOOO GLAD THE 3 DAYS OFF HAS IMPROVED THEIR PERFORMANCE —HAVE YOU TURNED IT OFF YET BW
Ha. There’s a pile of dirty dishes in the kitchen that’s starting to look more appealing to be honest.
Cavs gonna cav. Look absolutely terrible this far
I missed their glorious first 5 points but did savor seeing them winning a game for about 15-20 seconds
This looks like it will be painful…
Cool start.
Sexton’s with no defense on MPJ, and turns it over immediately on offense.
TRADE HIM!!!!
can’t trade Sexton right now, the Cavs need him to play the second half
Lol!!!
alright you got me there LMFAOOOO
Sexton… pathetic so far, getting abused on D, taking pull up contested 20 footers, careless with the ball
Sexton sat on the ball and then launched a tough shot… someone needs to flash to the key to collapse the defense.
nothing like a stepback long 2 where he essentially is nearly stepping on the 3 point line
LMFAOOOOOO we love those shots!!!

I don’t know why u double jokic. Live with him beating u one on one.
indeed, especially with Allen on him???
Love Allen.
nice pass Cedi!!!!! DG for 3!!!
Woof. Collin.
LMFAOOOOO Sexton getting clowned on defense right out the gate
They switched and in the confusion Sexton was like…. whaaaaa where is my man, then MPJ cut in front of him for an easy dunk. Just not self aware
yup, the film shows his inability to process the game quickly enough.
Let’s see how many quarters I can stomach tonight… Let’s go Cavs!
HOPE THE CAVS SHOOTING IS WARMER THAN THIS ‘FRIGGIN WINTER WEATHER “—-I HATE FRIGGIN NORTHERN WINTERS !!!!!!!!——-JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO A COMPETIVE GAME // IMPROVEMENT ON OFFENSIVE FLOW // DECISION MAKING // CURTAIL OF TO’S …………….DFENSIVE ROTATIONS// COMMUNICATION // REBOUNDING
