Live Thread: Cavs vs Thunder
2021-02-21Cavs injury report for today
Love -OUT
Prince -OUT
and of course Nance is still out and Delly just had has appendix removed. The Thunder on the other hand have nobody on their injury report 🤕#BeTheFight— 𝙍𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙥 (@CavalierRecap) February 21, 2021
Thunder look healthyish? This is winnable but I bet SGA gets them.
You just can’t win with a defense that gives up 115 to 125 and allows the opposition to shoot 50%+ from the field and 40%+ from 3 every game. Not with our offense. Don’t care who the competition is. They can do better and they have to on that end every single game. We haven’t kept a team under 117 since the last minny game. And since that minny game in every single loss except last night and phoenix (without CP3) we’ve given up at least 120. Four of those games we gave up over 128 points. Four others we… Read more »
YOU KNOW MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN TYRESE BUT AT LEAST WE DIDN’T TAKE TOPPIN
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU JASON —KLOVE HELPS OFFENSIVELY// NOT REALLY THAT MUCH ON THE ‘D” —–PRINCE ADDS ANOTHER VALUABLE SUB // SCORING // DELLY AND LNJ HAVE QUESTIONS // CONCERNS ON HOW SOON THEY WILL BRING THEM BACK DUE TO NOT WANTING THEM TO GET INJURED AGAIN AND CONTINUE OUR “STEALTH TANKING ‘ PURSUIT
On the bright side, the Celtics blew a 24 point 3rd quarter lead and lost to the Pels. They are now at .500. Be a shame if they missed the POs.
We are the worst team in the league at present. Love, Prince, LNJ, and Delly returning will help. As would sorting the Drummond situation. But I think we will be bottom 4 by 4-5 games by then.
even in games the Cavs are expected to win they are losing by double digits…yikes! I saw many sequences that jsut shows the lack of coaching/smarts/focus a young team really needs to have to be successful. there are a lot of guys on this team that aren’t very good and aren’t very intelligent on the court. With it being a dead time in sports, more and more people are criticizing this team and its lack of direction, vison, etc. I suspect by All-Star break Altman might say something but there is going to be a lot of pressure on him… Read more »
immediate thoughts after watching replay:
Agree. Though I think Exum would still be hurt.
is he still hurt??? man, that’s been awhile now.
sorry i missed watching the game with you guys, checking out brooklyn now, will watch the replay later tonight.
Box score gazing looks like the starters hung in, bench got killed.
3 steals for Cedi, Okoro, and Garland is amazing!
Allen is a beast
Agreed. Best player on team right now.
Make or miss league. That should probably do it.
Allen been brilliant tonight. Garland solid. If cedi could hit anything…
We do have three rookies in the rotation but…. still yet another double digit loss. Team just looks lifeless out there, teams get up on us and the Cavs just never can make that run
Damn Okoro just cannot shoot
It’s a make or miss league and the Cavs are mostly miss. Cavs must be the worst shooting team in the league.
ONLY REASON I KEEP WATCHING THE CAVS IS ALLEN —-OTHERWISE THIS SEASON IS PRETTY MUCH “FLUSHED “—SORRY JUDE ABOUT THE NEGATISM BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS !!!
CAVS NEED TO GIVE THE BIG MONEY TO ALLEN NOT SEXTON !!!!!!
Blown out on our home court against another team trying to yank. Yikes
We might not win another game all year, god this team is bad
Unable to pass 100 in most games. Yeah, without players returning it’s hard to see where a victory will come from.
Without pressure on the 3 pt line, it doesn’t matter if the opponent isn’t a strong 3 pt team.
SEXTON WITH ‘TUNNEL ‘ VISION TO THE BASKET —–FRUSTRATING TO WATCH HIM ANYMORE
Ugh I’m with you. Just doesn’t play winning basketball, hope the Cavs see it too but afraid his rookie extension this summer will be the doom of us
SGA SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN SEXTON —NOT EVEN CLOSE —A.C. ( WON’T SAY IT) — KNOWS IT
They need to touch Shai up
Nate remind me to never play pickup with you
Come on. Nice trap, OKC.
Solid D there Cavs, solid D. Allen again!!!
Dot to Afro samurai
Okoro with a nice game tonight.
YEP SOUNDS LIKE THE MRS NOMAD A YEAR AFTER WE WERE MARRIED —-( HELL WHO AM I KIDDING IT WAS PROBABLY THE 1ST MONTH )
WINDL3R—-SHOOT IT AND IT WILL COME
4 POSSESSIONS 4 SHOTS BY SEXTON ——-GD
Nomad, read your comments on last thread about KPJ. Think his issues / Trade was the biggest downer of all the crappy things to happen to Cavs this season.
Have tuned to see a lid on the rim. But only down 10! (My how my expectations have changed recently)
Ugh. Collin. Move the ball
Tough shot dort.
POSTED EARLIER KPJ 29– ( SCORED 20 IN 1 QTR ) — AND 19 LAST 2 GAMES —WITH 12 ASSISTS IN 1 GAME —HE IS A TALENT –HOPE THE ROCKETS CAN KEEP HIS HEAD ON STRAIGHT
ICE’S SHOT MUCH BETTER LAST FEW GAMES —GOOD TO SEE —CONFIDENCE IS GROWING —NOW WE NEED TO GET WINDL3R STARTED
Okoro should go right at Horford there.

Much better look from Okoro that time. Pure catch and shoot.
https://twitter.com/oldseaminer/status/1363659654954369027?s=20
JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY OUR GD’S CAN’T MAKE AN ENTRY PASS TO THE POST ///ALLEN
ALLEN 4/4/ SHOOTING —WTF J.B GET HIM THE BALL !!!!!
TOTALLY AGREE AND WE PASSED UP ON HIM ———STAY TUNED FOR THE CAVS HALFTIME “FRAUDULENT REPORT “
Like SGA’s game just about 1000x more than Sexton’s
That’s a terrible review. They hot it wrong twice.
This is actually a good challenge. Think he wins.
Worse team in the Association
*worst
SEXTON NEEDS TO COME OFF THE BENCH —BE A BETTER VERSION OF CPT BANDAID
ALL TOO FAMALIAR
SGA abusing our small guards. Hamidou too. Sound familiar?
Turnovers in your own backcourt and out of OOTO plays. Just brutal mistakes u can’t make.
2 dumb turnovers in our backcourt. Half court D stinks, just too small
Okoro is small at SF. Sexton is tiny at SG. Garland is not a big PG. Aside from LNJ, we do not really have guys who can play the 3 & 4 effectively on D (maybe Prince). That is how you end up with Sexton on MPJ.
We are small, poor on D, loose with the ball, kinda ball-hoggy at times (YB3), and 3/4ths of our best guys are hurt (LNJ, Love, Drummond; Allen the 4th), and our most talented guy freaked himself out of town. We have 1 healthy PG.
I don’t understand JB’s rotations tonight.
How was that not a clear path?
Lol a tattoo of Mario… haven’t seen that one before
Should be a clear path.
https://twitter.com/oldseaminer/status/1363651620509257731?s=20
THAT SEEMS WHAT OUR PRIMARY OFFENSE IS—–ISO
Lot of iso-/hero ball on offense
WHY DO OUR GDS THINK THEY CAN GO 1 0N 2/ 3 CONSTANTLY —-GEEEZ
SHOOT IT AND IT WILL COME
Windler is good at everything but putting the ball in the basket.
Allen is a beast on the offensive boards
AGREE WITH YOU NATE –SGA PROBALY 25 // 10 TONIGHT
IMPROVEMENT—WE DIDN’T GIVE UP 32 PTS//1ST QTR
Oh how players screaming “AND ONEEEEEEEE” irks me – both Garland and Diallo back to back
ALLEN IS A REBOUNDING MACHINE —A.C. HAS A ‘MAN CRUSH ” ON HIM
LIKE ICE TAKING//MAKING A COUPLE OF 3’S
Some good, some bad so far. Looked like Cedi got hit on the past 2 3s, no call both times
Ice gotta go up through contact after that pump fake.
Will check in closer to halftime. Go Cavs!
Nice shot, Sexton. Much better start.
