Live Thread: Cavs vs Celtics
2021-03-17Count me among those who were pleased with the improved effort from the Cavs last night. While Jimmy Butler ate their lunch, there was a lot of growth and rhythm developed among the Cavs players, who lost to a team that looked every bit like last season’s Eastern Conference champions. Tonight, the Cavs play a St. Patty’s Day challenge against a Boston team that has been pretty up and down this year and definitely struggled on the road.
Cleveland will be missing the usual suspects of Love, Prince, and Delly. Tristan Thompson, Kemba Walker, and Romeo Langford are out for the Celtics. Hopefully some home cooking and some rhythm will help the Cavs woeful shooting, and get them back into a better offensive and defensive groove. I’m predicting a surprise win for the Wine and Gold as they turn the luck of the Irish against the Leprechauns.
Windler playing great d on Tatum.
Well… nice!!
SEXTON ISO BUCKET THAT ISNT BLOCKED! RAGE TO!
Javale is hilarious.
Windler with good defense on Tatum!
Someone put some stickum on cedi hands. Jesus.
MCGEE OLD MAN GAME!
Sexton good D, Cedi butterfingers. Stevens appears to be pissed at someone about coverages
Sexton already swatted three times
I’d be fine if the refs went scorched earth on every one of these dildoes who shriek “AND 1!!!” after every drive. Tatum does it every freaking time.
CEDI STEAL!!!! OMFG and then turns it right over.
REALLY WANT WINDL3R TO HET HOT FROM “3” PT LAND AGAIN
Been waiting for it as well…. it’s been a while
I finally noticed what you did there with the 3 for the e NOMAD, have been thinking of good nicknames for the guy but that’s a good one
SEXTON THREE!!! good to see the shot coming back.
Sexton with shit defense on Teague LMFAO
LOVE THE “D” //EFFORT —–CAN WATCH THIS TYPE OF PLAY WITH UTTER ENJOYMENT—-1 THING CAVS HAVE TO DO IS BOX OUT BETTER CELTS ARE REALLY CRASHING THE ‘O” BOARDS —-GO CAVS !!!!
Solid first quarter. Celtics look so meh on offense
They’re mostly just ISO ISO ISO when Walker is out.
Great RB by Windler, wish that 3 had gone down, Cavs need to extend the lead etc etc
Robert Williams III seems like he could be a star
absolutely is…. only question was his off the court stuff with his professionalism.
“Timelord”
Good. Look Sexton. Windler gotta hit that
Sexton ignores wide open Cedi but finally gets it to Windler.
NICE DEFENSE WINDLER!!!!
Osman terrible shot
GREAT PASS SEXTON!
Cedi very ugly drive there, oof
Cedi’s handle has worsened
He’s in one of his periodic ‘forgot how to play basketball’ troughs…
CEDI BALL MOVEMENT!!! SEXTON THREE!
Sexton drive to get blocked, Windler wide open in the corner for 3.
Hilarious how Sexton thinks he’s going to get it up over Williams at the rim…
didn’t read the scouting report, neither did cedi LMFAOOOOO
SEXTON DECISION MAKING NEEDS SOOOO MUCH IMPROVEMENT
kudos to the old man from Solon who brought his grandkids to the 2016 finals, that would be high up on my personal life achievements were I him
HEY A WINDL3R SIGHTING —THANK YOU J.B.—–MIGHYT QUINN EXPERIMENT IS OVER —–HOPEFULLY
Cavs need to finish the quarter strongly. played great defense so far.
Pritchard was a find by Boston.
yup, nice bench guy spot starter
NICE DRIVE DG!!!!
4 steals, Nance, Cedi, DG…. that’s a good trio second night in a row playing well together!!!!

after slowing everything down and having about 5 seconds to think about what he was gonna do next
LMFAO IKR?!?!!
love to watch Nance play the game, real freedom there even with the occasional turnover. good sportsmanship by Cavs helping up Brown
Cavs playing some inspired defense so far tonight!!!
NICE SAVE CEDI!!!
WHAT A PASS ALLEN!!! GREAT MOVEMENT AND FINISH OKORO
Williams III making two stoopid plays in a row. Had Darius in the post and passes out for a TO then this — Cleveland lucky. Glad Ice is OK and iced the FTS
JaVale now in and the game within the game with Williams III begins!
Good thing Okoro is built like a safety…
WOAH OKORO took a spill….. damn!!!
awful play Sexton in the PnR, Nance was wide open just turns it over.
Celts broadcast describing how Celtics crater all season long with Tatum on the bench. Hope Cavs second unit can hammer away tonight and keep Marcus Smart from having a massive game, he has come out smooth
REALIZE HE IS A ROOKIE BUT ICE GETS “BEAT ” UP ON BOTH ENDS AND GETS NO CALLS FROM THE REFS——HE IS A TOUGH KID !!!
Cavs looking good. Wish Sexton would have just pulled trigger on that 3 instead of whatever that was but coming out with some pride anyway, seems like the Heat woke up this team a little bit
HOPEFULLY D.G.// ALLEN COMBO WILL BE FUN TO WATCH FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS
Jesus, sexton. Awful.
what was that
DG STEAL!!!!!!
garbage shot Sexton LMFAOOO
DG pretty solid tonight…
when he’s aggressive, the game is fun to watch.
Okoro rooked again. No call.
nice to see the confidence against Brown anyway
DG STOP AND POP!
Darius EN FUEGO
bad defense DG
forced shot Okoro, but take the aggressiveness.
WHAT A DRIVE AND PASS DG!!!!!!!!
Dg roasted teague.
bad defense Sexton
DG WITH THE QUICKNESS!!!
DARIUS the Great
Okoro. Much more active on o. Love it.
Allen usually shoots FTs at a 70+ clip, hope he is working with a shooting coach on that stuff
Ice dime!
NICE HUSTLE ALLEN!
Go Cavs — Okoro getting beat a couple times by Jalen Brown but hey! Garland being called “Kyrie-like” by Celtics broadcast team, next thing is to remark how small the Cavs’ backcourt is. Thanks to Nate for the Live Thread
Great scoop, DG. Good transition d Ice.
GREAT PASS OKORO!!!!
A.C. IS CORRECT —WEAKSIDE DEFENSE ESPECIALLY WHERE ICE WAS –SHOULD HAVE BEEN 2 IF NOT 3 STEPS OFF HIS PLAYER —-GO CAVS !!!
DG GREAT FINISH!
moving screen not called.
HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY TO EVERYONE—I DID MY PART —( AND BUCKAROO WOULD BE PROUD OF ME ) WHILE “TASKING ” ON THE “NEVER ENDING ” MRS NOMAD HONEYDO LIST —I WAS ‘QUENCHING MY THIRST WITH SOME GREEN BOTTLED ROLLING ROCK —MY FATHERS FAVORITE —TODAY IS 3RD ANNIVERSARY OF HIS PASSING—GREAT PERSON AND AN EVEN GREATER DAD !!!!!!!!!!
