The injury report sums it up, but apparently, the Larry Nance Jr. illness is more serious than just tankitis, as hes lost 20 pounds in a couple weeks. Get well soon, Larry!

8 man rotation, wonder why no Brodric or Lamar
insanely unnecessary in this slog of a season.
For real, ice with 21 first half minutes?!? Wth JB give like 8 of those to Thomas
or Stevens or Cedi… they need to eat minutes the schedule is too compact to be running 8 man rotations.
DG FINISH!!!!!!!!!!! (awful play design LMFAO)
PERIMETER DEFENSE!!!!! DG help/switch and Okoro on ball!!!
WOW WHAT A PASS DG, ISAIAH GET STRONG WITH THE BALL!!!
great defense Wade.
Hartenstein needs to hoist a 3 at some point to keep the defense honest no?
after those two free throws, gonna say no LMFAO
ugly free throws
nice hustle Isaiah, but pass the ball out if you’re not going straight back up.
Good timeout, DG needs to take control of the end of half here, two bad plays in a row off the high PnR with Isaiah.
when it works they make it look easy — I assume Hartenstein and Allen are not identical in their tendencies. Delly and Hart seem to have the connection down thus far anyway
yup, timing was off both times…. felt like DG was late on the pass on both or just afraid to turn it over.
This game is crazy
Bad shot DG, bad help defense Sexton.
Great pass Sexton, Wade has to be ready to shoot.
GREAT HELP DEFENSE WADE!!!
AND ANOTHER DEFENSIVELY PLAY BACK TO BACK FOR WADE!!!!
LOVE HUSTLE!!!! DG had Wade open for 3.
nice defense Delly!!!!
OKORO HUSTLE!!!! PLEASE REBOUND MORE!
Delly with the ugliest fast break in NBA history, wow!!! nice work by Love on the foul baiting however
LOVE CAUGHT HIM A BIRD!!!!
PRINCE STEPBACK!!!!!!
Delly playing really well, giving Okoro some guidance as well — I think Love is coming in again after this timeout
Delly lob!
DELLY OOP!!!!!!!!!!
WOW NICE FINISH DELLY!
WOW, Cavs should’ve had 2 steals on Poku that possession.
cheap fouls on Prince but someone has to make the Thunder feel it a bit, this game needed a little junking up
silly shot Sexton, heat check a 3, not a contested midranger.
LMFAOOO garbage defense Prince and Isaiah
WOW GREAT PASS DELLY NICE CUT SEXTON!
nice touch Sexton
wow Delly to Collin!!!! such a good passer
Nice touch pass by delly and finish by sexton to end qtr. Defense has to be cleaned up.
That the suns old coach on okc?
don’t think so, they said 5 years with OKC and OKC G-League coach
NICE FINISH SEXTON! GREAT PASS DELLY!
38-38?! wtf is this? no D lol
Poku has ridiculously good flashes for being such a crappy player.
he’s going to be really good. youngest player in the league atm
sounds like it!!!
LMFAO Sexton misses Isaiah on the roll, luckily he canned the midrange.
didn’t like that take from Isaiah, work the 2 man with Sexton.
nice take Isaiah!
Someone bleeding? Sound off
yup
PRINCE THREE!!!!!!!!! HE’S HOT FEED HIM!
OKC came to play, Cavs not respecting their opponent at all… luckily we’re generating a lot of good offense in spite of it.
AMICO REPORTING CAVS MIGHT NOT RESIGN D.G. —–AS I POSTED EARLIER —“I WANT WHATEVER HE IS SMOKING // TOKING “
Ha delly. Boy that hitch.
Dg with a confident pullup trey after pass from okoro i think.
DG GREAT FINISH!!!!!!!!!!
PRINCE STOP AND POP!
he was all alone on that, why not drain it
LMFAOOOO THATS WHATS UP!
Boy okc cemter just killing us inside.
man delly cannot shoot, he is out of the league if he cannot fix that
At least that was a wide open 3 LMFAO instead of the first one
DG FOR THREE!!!!!!! HE SEEKING THE THREES!!!!
Silly pass DG, then misses the wide open 3…. but at least he took it.
Love with a nice corner pass for dg trey after off target pass to him
Why Delly taking that shot?????? totally unnecessary.
yeah unlike usually he seems like he needs a couple of minutes to warm up this game
definitely, and i thought it was so peculiar because it was early in the shot clock, but maybe not?
Almost had an awful tov on that prince midranger. Of course nobdy came to ball after he had picked up dribble.
WOW, Sexton nearly destroyed that possession LMFAOOOO glad he decided to pass it at the last second finally.
Love was wide open for an eternity.
Love with big trey. Okc shooters firing with confidence
DG 3…he needs to take 10+ every single game…make them guard you…he can just drive past them…
OMFG SEXTON WITH A LAZY TAKE WTF
That was weak af.
not sure I’ve seen him with a worse take… at least he tries usually when he gets blocked.
DG TO WADE EASY MONEY!!!!
LOVE FOR THREE!!!!!
Wade passed up an open 3, but made the contested 3!!! LMFAOOo
was that JB called the timeout? seems like they needed it
don’t think so, thought they said it was OKC.
KLove nice short interview about Hartenstein before the game, says “once he calms down” his shooting is going to be even better, dude does seem pretty intense/bundle of nerves
Perimeter defense has been garbage to start, Sexland and Okoro need to wake up.
Yeah this should be a winnable game, but if defense is sieve like going to be an l.
???? good call John B, Wade on Maledon is lazy defense by Garland or Sexton.
Yeah not sure which one it was.
NICE TAKE SEXTON!
Figures that Pokusevski is on this team now….always seems to light up the Cavs…
nice that Sexton drew the foul, but also had a wide open 3 he passed.
Okoro just passed up a wide open 3.
Someone missed picking up their man in transition. Can’t lewve love on island versus perimeter guy at this point
nice on ball defense Sexton and Wade!
DG missed a wide open Sexton in the corner.
Maledon has sucked this year, but definitely has traits.
Pokusevski is allegedly 190 pounds, hard to believe it watching him play — here’s their lineup vs. Pistons, I think the same for this game?
Ha, well don’t think the nba required accurate weights as well as heights. That would of course shift anyway unlike height.
GET WELL WISHES TO LNJ !!!!!!!!——-WE MIGHT NOT SEE HIM FOR QUITE AWHILE
WOW THUNDER INJURY REPORT RESEMBLES THE CAVS EARLY SEASON INJURY REPORT—–WITH SGA OUT CAVS CHANCES OF WINNING VASTLY IMPROVED —–THIS IS ONE OF THE CAVS ‘TANK BOWL ” GAMES —-WHICH TEAM IS CHASING THE LOTTERY SPOT
hey Nomad, thanks for the comments on the Spurs recap — too bad Gilgeous-Alexander is out, Young Bull vs. him would give the game more intensity
Great image, Nate! — Hopefully Kevin Love explodes (relatively speaking) for 20+. In the spirit of Tristan Thompson I hope someone on the Cavs can continue to torture Al Horford, although Al is sitting on the bench for the year (haven’t read up on his buyout situation). Anyway high expectations for Kevin Love, the Thunder are really pretty undersized/skinny so he should be able to get some work done in the post if he wants to go old school.
also good wishes for Larry Nance, Jr., if anyone deserves to feel better it’s that guy — I just caught up on the Cavs-Lakers game and he was toiling away during that loss, he never gives up.
