Live Thread: Warriors vs. Cavaliers
2021-04-15
Tonight, the Cleveland Cavaliers play their second game of a back-to-back against the Golden State Warriors, who destroyed the Oklahoma City Thunder last night. Steph Curry looks as good as ever and Warriors appear to be heavily favored. But if Love and company can get hot, that would give them a shot. Chris Fedor is reporting Collin Sexton will be playing tonight. Go Cavs!!!
Garland, Sexton, Okoro, Love, and Allen are the starting five tonight for your Clevelanders.

DG getting extra rest it seems on the b2b, need his ball movement back.
Love trey. Everyone but Curry hitting treys
Damn lol love got a jump hook straight up stuffed.
Delly on b2b. Not impressed. These guys gassed.
yeah, started losing gas at the end of the 1st quarter IMO
yeah Warriors have got like 8 points just completely open lane to the hoop — maybe time to put in Lamar Stevens or (shudder) Cedi just to get some propulsion? wonder what JB is thinking along those lines, if you had Damyean Dotson you might put him in over Delly for a few minutes
so it’s Dean Wade, huzzah!
LOVE FROM WAY DOWNTOWN!
bailout material, glad he can jack one up from that distance over 2 defenders with confidence
Sexton lazy defense exposed there on that 3 LMFAO
oh man Love rusty shots there.
Never been good on b2b
yikes

He does look like Russell Crowe these days lol.
Curry settled for that three against delly. Dunno why he didn’t drive again. Probably would have drawn a foul.
Oof. Well Steph starting to take advantage of the nose guarding. Unfortunately he has the handles to burn bigs and is a great finisher for a guard.
Great final denial by Hart, with Delly playing some nice D well beyond the arc as well, deja vu!!!
Nice d, Delly
GREAT DEFENSE DELLY ON CURRY!!!!!! BIG TIME PLAY!!!
That was not a good possession. Never put delly on an island. Can’t do anything with it.
that was a lot better from Prince… in rhythm at his spot.
Saw that foul coming from a Mile away.
Prince or Sexton need to get the ball in the late clock situation. Delly should not be getting it then.
oof, that was Bad, Larry complaining all the way down the floor and still on defensive end
Another nice finish by the anderson guy
athletic and competitive as hell
thank God for the Sexton short/mid-range floater
I like Sexton with the bench!!!!!!!
Delly defense on curry love it.
flashbacks!!!!
bad pass Hartenstein… Sexton was open there.
Terrible shot prince.
Geez, Larry, if you’re gonna foul him, foul him…
Nice finish by Anderson. Sexton didn’t go vertical.
Sexton wide open forever, finally launched a 3!!!
Woof
Delly.
That shot is BROKE
Has been for most of his career other than a couple years with the cavs.
he is shutting down Curry on D, right???
Pfft. Just came in. Not really.
Okoro did well tho.
Delly 3 clank coming out of the timeout! not what JB called per se but god that’s a little bit fresh
Yeah overpass from nance. Shouldve shot.
Doing a good job on curry tonight. Team effort. Really actually the best strategy against this team. Nose guard him even if it means some openings elsewhere.
Dray definitely fouled on that dunk.
Hey a post entry.
bad take Okoro but might’ve been shot clock situation too.
good timeout JB Bickerstaff… but I don’t like not staggering Love and Sexton. Keep them staggered to keep the offense flowing.
Ha. Curry juked okoro off ball. Vet move
Warriors TV crew: “…and that is why he [Okoro] does not create his own shot” after a mangled Eurostep
NICE POST ENTRY PASS DG! NICE FINISH ALLEN!
Bazemore is imploding. Anyone else remember a few years ago when some Cavs fans were screaming that Cleveland could not compete without this guy?
They did? I always kinda liked him but never thought that.
Bazemore? I don’t remember a clamor about him. He seemed like an ok role player
Supposedly the price for Luka was eating Baze’s contract. Woulda been worth it.
It’s funny how the Luka thing is memory holed in service to Sexton LMFAOOO
I thin it was BS cuz they wanted trae and were worried he wouldn’t be there at Cavs pick.
ahh, that makes sense for sure.
I don’t think the eighth pick was in the conversation for Doncic. Maybe 4 and 5.
lol….
Pfft what was that sexton? Wow can’t believe they called a foul
Jarrett Allen mid-range skill!
No foul there. Sexton just blew layup.
That pull-up at the ft line. Ugh.
I think wiggins actually shooting like 38-40% from trey this year
38% on around 5 attempts per game.
nice energy tonight!!!
definitely you can tell Sexton been on a mini-vacay LMFAOOO
Some decent passes to the interior tonight.
Silly shot Sexton, but nice energy on defense.
late whistle! lucky
Darius got a little spooked by Draymond there
Slick pass Dg to okoro.
DG bad turnover, get the ball to Love in the post.
GREAT CUT OKORO!! GREAT PASS DG!!!!

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO this is great!!!!
nice help defense forced the TO!

#LightYears
Expected
WOW didn’t know he needed surgery!!!!
Haha! Anyone see that Boban commefcial?
no post it
Can’t wait for the Hartenstein/Larry-Looney battles down low. Unfortunately the Warriors let go of Marquese Chriss — with Wiseman out it seems Looney is their only true big
Great find by Sexton to allen over the top
Looked an awful lot like DG’s pass to Love last night!!! LMFAOOO
Lots of layups for gs
Good pass by dg on the roll
GREAT PASS SEXTON!!!!!!! RAGE TO!!!
Great job of hitting a trailing Allen.
Sexton smoking Wiggins — there are so many subplots in this game!!!
I am here for this one particularly!
if you go back to the YouTube clips of Kevin Love welcome presser with Koby Altman in 2014 there is a dude who is like “letting Wiggins go means the Cavs are passing on multiple championships” — as CLF would say, LMFAO
SEXTON STRONG FINISH!!!!
Sexton rusty.
GREAT PASS DG!!!
not a bad start
Nice lefty
Sext a dumb turnover and a bad defense on oob already.
Nice finish though on the other end Sexton!
Wiggins remains my biggest miss as a writer/draft analyst. Thought he’d be so good.
Great start, keep that adrenalin pumping!
Sexton awful defense out of bounds LMFAOOO
OKORO GREAT DRIVE AND FINISH!
X 2!!!!!!! great pass Allen!!!!!
The Dubs punting on a year of Curry’s prime because they didn’t want to trade wiseman remains baffling.
Lamelo sitting right there for them, and exactly what they needed!!! LMFAOOOOOO
Who were people thinking they would trade the pick for?
Theres plenty of people.
Sure but I am wondering if people actually threw guys like Beal around or Harden at the time.
Counting on Curry aging like wine, which isn’t a terrible bet considering his game.
Injuries would be the major issue with him. But feel like he’ll be pretty great even three years from now.
