Live Thread: Cavs @ Clippers
2024-04-07Good afternoon, Cavs fans. The wine and gold end a brutal road trip in LA today with their final regular season road game. Cleveland will be missing Donovan Mitchell (load management), Dean Wade, and Ty Jerome, with Isaac Okoro and Craig Porter Junior apparently healthy enough to return to the floor. Let’s hope they can contain the dribble penetration that has been plaguing Cleveland since the all star break.
Meanwhile the Clippers will be missing Kawhi Leonard, Daniel Theis, and Josh Primo. You have to hope that the expanding wing and perimeter depth helps Cleveland keep up, but my worry is that JB plays too many lineups that can’t shoot. We’ll see how virulent that “L.A. flue” is, and if afternoon games continue to be the Cavs’ Waterloo. Go Cleveland.
SO GLAD I WATCHED THE LADIES CHAMPIONSHIP GAME———-ENJOYED THE GAME——WITHOUT GETTING STRESSED/ FRUSTRATED——-THIS TEAM IS RAPIDLY LOSING THE SUPPORT OF A SUPER FAN BASE
You’d have liked it. They had great effort all the way through (finally!) You missed a lot of great plays. They had that gear we’ve been waiting for in the first half and just shorted a lot of makeable stuff in the second. Bummer
That’s basically giving back the Strus game or the Wade game.
I can’t even be mad. Good effort, tough finish against a more talented team
Choke job. Break out the dust pans we are about to get swept!
Who would have guessed DG would come up empty in the clutch? But really it was a whole team effort for this loss
what a choke job. Team is SOFT
I just had a feeling DG would try that shit.
Well that was a great big bowl of dog shit.
Cavs boy.. just know how to piss us off as fans.. I was so looking forward to seeing this game recap after a 20 pt lead at the half.
Can we get someone other than LeVert on George here?
I would be enjoying this close finish way more if i didnt know we had a huge lead with 2 to go in the 3rd. 80 point first half i missed and I get you catch the horrible part?? Haha dang it
Clutch, JA
Cavs on the right side of a stupid foul.
Lwvwrt stepback? Why?
SMH
Okoro not good on that closeout.
This team is so dumb.
How does Allen not get a foul?
How’s that not a double dribble on George!?
LeVert has got to stop fouling.
Big shot, Garland!
I’m unable to watch the game. Why is PG marching to the FT line so much?
LeVert with dumb fouls.
Attaway DG
Cavs hanging in
Switched to watch the women’s championship. Congrats, SC.
Masterfully stupid foul by LeVert on George in the backcourt
Garland starting off clutch time with unforced TO, but answers with a made 2
I don’t think we’ve taken or made a 3 in the second half?
Man its amazing how the Cavs have just no ability to score sometimes. Its really where we miss a (healthy) DM to get us a bucket or two and stabilize things
Looking like the Washington generals at times.
80 points in the first half. 20 points in the second half. 😂 choke job!
I’m highly concerned. We needed to have a big lead to win this. Going to be very interesting to see if Garland can come through in the clutch
Lol did you see the Steve Balmer circle dance?
Happy to report I did not.
I hope someone makes a meme/gif of it, its hilliarious
Need to bench strus
Jfc. Melt down
Bs no call. Bs tech.
FORGOT ALL ABOUT OUR “ MATINEE MASSACRE s “
Man these announcers could not be more excited for the Clippers
Also fwiw its really nice to see Garland play solid defense today
Clippers defense intensifying.. cavs always struggle to score against halfway decent defense
Mobleys handle and strength so improved
Four steals and some great attacks for my Pg
Garland seemed to have figured out how to contribute on defense – great efforts and nice dig downs in help
80 points. This team is so bipolar.
Very nice by strus
Breath passing.
Cavs winning turnover battle. It’s really that simple
I like that challenge,
This looks like a good challenge
Okoros finishing looking noce
Good to see the Cavs capitalizing off of languid play from the Clippers. The Lakers had some bad sections yesterday but the Cavs failed to push the lead when they had the advantage. Today they’re actually pushing the lead
CAVALANCHE IN FUCKINg FULL EFFECT
Caris!
Mobley great coast to coast. Zubac clearly not expecting that.
Didn’t have Cavs up 14 on the Clippers.. but glad to see the score. Will tune in after the NCAAW final.
Refball keeping this from a blowout
Garland having a really nice attacking stretch
Big minutes from Okoro on defense and then offense.
LFG
Darius with a nice run here.
Harden Foul Grifting
Ridiculous call on Nieng. He’s just standing there as Plumlee bulls in to him. Don’t understand that shit.
Only one TO?
Good start: really liking all the second efforts by DG and Vert and Strus
Strus heating up!
Niang is just so abysmal on the weak side as a defender.
Ugly but effective two man game for Sam and Evan
Very nice d.
Ice is nice.
Weird turnovers, good effort on rotations but weird communications with two closing to the same guy twice.
Garland with good energy to start
Nice pass, Garland. Cavs being somewhat more careful with the ball but still some bad turnovers.
Mann took an extra step
OK. Solid start.
C’mon Cavs! Surprise us!
It’s halftime. I’m surprised.
