Live Thread: Cavs vs Spurs
2021-03-19San Antonio comes to town mostly healthy, missing only Keita Bates-Diop. This marks the first game back since the All-Star Break for DeMar DeRozan who has missed extended time after the death of his father. For Cleveland, Kevin Love, Matthew Dellavedova, and Taurean Prince remain out. Joining them on the injury report is Javale McGee who is listed as out with “illness.” Could a trade be in the works? Hard to say. Should be an interesting night. The Cavs will miss Javale’s steady play off the bench. I expect to see a lot more Dean Wade at the four, and a lot more Larry Nance Jr. at the backup five.
It’s been a tough stretch for San Antonio without DeRozan, who is far and away their best player and joins Jimmy Butler on this season’s “ridiculous all-star snubs” list, averaging 20/5/7 this season. I assume Okoro will check him most of the night. He has to make sure he stays on the ground, cause DeMar’s pump fake is lethal. The Spurs are 5-5 in the last ten, but have lost 4-5 on the road. Tough matchup for the Cavs as the Spurs look to get right, and are missing their best bench player. Hopefully Nance, Garland, and Co. are up to the task.
Yuck
Spurs playing a very good lineup with a lot of starters against a heavy bench unit for Cleveland
no pass Sexton shot possession.
at least it was a 3
LMFAO that’s true!
danger time, need DG back.
Free throw woes.
3 on poeltle
GREAT TAKE NANCE!!!! 3RD FOUL ON POELTL!!!
that’s huge, their defensive anchor in foul trouble.
Nance has got to take the shot there.
Yup had a mismatch and was not looking to shoot at all
yup
Windler overpassed there. Had a layup.
Nice play Wade and Nance. got Sexton with a mismatch.
More ball movement please. Spurs leaving perimeter open. Let’s fire away and spread the scoring.
Great steal and dime cedi.
WHAT A PASS CEDI@@@@@!!!
GREAT STEAL TOO!
Would like to see Windler moving off the ball more and get some cuts in the lane to open up his 3 point shot
no one can make a shot except Sexland.
I’d like to see Stevens to eat some minutes in a small ball lineup.
DG WITH THE STRONG MOVE TO THE BASKET!!!!
DG smooooov
Weirrrrrd sequence
Lmao AC – “Gotta shoot it like you wanna make it”
THATS BRILLIANT!!!! LMFAOOOOOO
Windler clobbered!
WOW THAT”S GREAT DEFENSE DG!!!!!!
WOW< WINDLER WHAT YOU DOING????
Windler with some ugly turnovers
DEJA VU BASKETBALL —WTF
WADE REBOUNDING!
Haven’t seen Mills in action since the world cup
Really intrigued by this lineup out there right now – DG, Cedi, Windler, Wade, Nance
It’s fun, i see the potential.
OH ALMOOST A GREAT PASS DG!
How does Wade not get a foul drawn there?
DG WITH THE DRIVE ON MILLS!!!!
VIKINGS HANGING TOUGH AGAINST HOUSTON
Wtf with these no calls
How Wade not fouled?? Wtf
WOW DG blew the layup but Wade got clobbered too!
Great d wade.
Wade you were wide open
WADE WITH THE BLOCK GREAT DEFENSE!!!!
JUST SO COOK IS STARTING TO SEXTON
Silly shot Sexton, Murray switched on to him, they need to attack Mills!!!
ICE NEEDS TO STAY AFTER THE GAME WITH SEXTON —PRACTICE FOUL SHOOTING
Sexton starting to cook
As long as he is aware Wade is being left very open…
Yeah that was a huge miss.
Ice…. cold from the FTs
DID A ‘CLF ‘ NATE —–AND THAT IS WHY THE MRS NOMAD SAID HELL NO !!

Carry?!?!! Wtf it happens on every single possession
JUST MENTIONED THAT I WANT TO GROW MY HAIR OUT LIKE POPS —WAS MET WITH A QUICK NO BY THE MRS NOMAD …..” NO PETTING THE WIFE “
LMFAOOOOOOOOO did you show her a picture of pop???
For real Pop looking old with that longer hair
LMFAOOO he gotta be in his 70s though right???
72. Still kind of amazed he has stuck around for awhile after Kawhi ditched. But maybe back in the playoffs this year so.
I like Nance on DeRozan, Keldon doesn’t scare me as a big but DeRozan so crafty for the young Ice man
DG STOP AND POP!!!!!! POP RAGE TO!!!
DG!!!!
ALL RIGHT HERE COMES THE REST OF THE GANG —-LET THE PARTY BEGIN !!!!!!
SO WHO IS OUR BACK UP CENTER TONIGHT —DID WE JUST SIGN “LE ‘ THON TO A QUICK “2 ‘ DAY
Lol I bet it’s nance/Wade. Just roll with 3 bigs.
Okoro doesnt get a worse foul than he just gave derozan.
Okoro gets absolutely 0 calls unless he gets mugged. There was definitely body on that last miss by him at the rim
Ugh, messy so far. Clean it up lads!!
Sexton highjacking offense and no effort on defense, it’s ugly!
TAG YOU ARE IT CLF
IT IS THE “FRIDAY NIGHT NOMAD // CLF SHOW ” JOIN IN AGAIN DAN : – )
that’s right NOMAD can’t watch college it’s not skilled enough LMFAOOO
Joining in as well – been a while since I’ve gotten the time to join a live thread
DG TO ALLEN!!!!!
SEXTON TO DG FOR THREE!!!
NOT THE START WE HAD THE OTHER NIGHT —-ENERGY DOWN FROM THE OTHER NIGHT —BALL NOT MOVING
ugly sequence for Okoro.
that’s awful, gotta make your FTs.
nice take Okoro! 2nd foul on Poeltl is huge!
what???? THAT WAS A CHARGE!
NANCE HUSTLE!!!!
to start they put Murray on DG… DG needs to recognize that and get it to Nance and Sexton.
Need to stop Derozan, Mills, and Murray on defense.
AS STATED IN MY EARLIER POST—HAVE STARTED MY ……..” MORE BEER PLEASE ” CONSUMPTION EARLY —DUE TO MY “INEPT ” BUCKEYES LOING !!!!!!——-GREAT LAKES MEXICAN LAGER GOING DOWN RATHER NICELY // RAPIDLY !!!!
Gotta try that! Can’t decide if I love Great Lakes or Rhinegeist (Cincy) more. I live in southern Ohio so high readily available
Madtree >>> Rhinegeist :p
Also good but I love all the rhinegeist variety
Rhinegeist has a ton of IPAs that all taste the same to me… Dad is probably my fav Rhinegeist beer
Nance has a very favorable matchup against Johnson or Derozan tonight… need to exploit that.
ME THINKS THAT JAVALE SITTING OUT IS POTENTIAL TRADE —-HOPING IT IS OUR “NETS ‘ FRIENDS /// DINWIDDIE —–WHAT IS UP WITH PRINCE OR IS HE IN THE SAME ” TRADE BOAT ” INJURY AS JAVALE // LOVE
I read that somewhere yes that they were holding out Prince in hopes of moving him but who knows. I’d bet that’s for sure happening with Javale
Let’s go Cavs!!!!!!
Thanks for the live thread Nate, 100% agree, Wade extended minutes something to watch.
