Live Thread: Wizards @ Cavs
2021-04-30Good evening CtB!
Tonight the Cleveland Cavaliers seek a bit of payback against the still-hot Washington Wizards. There are multiple reports that Collin Sexton has cleared concussion protocol and will play:
J.B. Bickerstaff says Collin Sexton WILL be playing tonight for #Cavs
— Ashley Bastock (@AshleyBastock42) April 30, 2021
While Sexton does return, a whole host of Cavs are still out, including Isaiah Hartenstein, Matthew Dellavedova, Larry Nance, Jr., Taurean Prince, and Lamar Stevens. The Cavs appear to be a solid home dog tonight (+7 at the time of this writing).
One thing to watch will be whether Wizards’ Coach Scott Brooks gives the Cavs a heavy dose of Daniel Gafford, Davis Bertans, and Garrison Mathews all of whom locked down the Cavs in the fourth quarter of their last matchup. On the flip side, does Sexton give the Cavs a needed offensive boost in the high pressure situations of the game.
It’s Friday evening, sit back and relax and follow the advice of our beloved CtB commentator extraordinaire NOMAD: “more beer please”!!!
Not good … at least DG is walking
yup true
Well, that might suck…DG tweeked his ankle…
dang DG rolls his ankles every game :(
Allen a WALL!!!!
Wow! Allen with the Rui stuff!
HOO WEE!! NEEDED THAT!
Looks like the fantastic ball movement of the past couple of games without Sexton is now gone LMFAOOOOO 10 assists at half.
LMFAOOOO Sexton dribble it off his foot.
great defense at point of attack DG and Wade
Gafford killing the Cavs again, Ish Smith too.
Both teams now looking outside more
NICE BALL MOVEMENT! OKORO FOR THREE!
wow, DG just bricked two wide open 3s.
4 turnovers Sexton, 3 turnovers Love, 2 turnovers Garland.
back to back turnovers Sexton on the exact same play
Sexton bad pass, and missed passes on the set. 5 point swing
The Wiz starting to generate more outside shots
yup good call
oh man, bad pass Love, had Sexton open on the leak out
GREAT PASS DG! Okoro draws the foul
awful take Sexton, had Love mismatch, had DG wide open for three, chucks up a wild shot.
Okoro shot that from a horizontal position
should’ve been and1! and he rolled his ankle
WOW OKORO LMFAOOOOOO
Cleveland fans some of the worst… booing Love on the turnover when he’s leading the team with a +10 plus/minus
But is that the fake recorded crowd or the real one? 😂
Oh it was definitely real LMFAOOO
fantastic drive DG!!
We got a knickname for Kabengele yet?

Luxurious???? LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
Sexland midrange merchants so far.
WTF DG????? PASS IT TO LOVE!!!!!! HE HAS NETO ON HIM!!!!!
Love has Neto on him again, Dot shoots an off balance jumper
Love hasn’t attempted a shot yet.
He’s gonna add “facilitator” to his resume.
LMFAOOO at least he’s leading the team in plus/minus so far!
one big assist in this game for Kevin Love…the plus/minus numbers for the bench were a massacre in this game, Wade and Dotson the worst -34/-32, Cedi and Kabengele not all that far behind -24, ouch!
yikes Cedi, just get the ball to Love c’mon man
Nice finish Sexton, but poor transition defense Cavs
Nice finish by Sexton there…
My goodness our guys still cant make a post entry pass.
GREAT PASS KABENGELE!! GREAT CUT AND FINISH DOTSON!!!!!!
Dot gets up!
Sexton starting to get chucky as NOMAD says
defensive rebounding abysmal for Cavs…. Wizards have shot 11(!!!) more shots!!!!
awful possession DG, lost the ball in the exchange with Love.
awful shot Sexton, contested jumper early in shot clock, at least it was a 3 I guess.
nice pass Sexton, Cedi just missed, needs more arc
Battle in the paint so far
100% correct Simmo!!!
KABENEGLE!!!! NICE DEFENSE!
Great timing
Cavs offense flowing, but need to disrupt Wizards’ passing and force some turnovers.
Impressive by Wade
Definitely, can finish with either hand?!!! WOW!
