Live Thread: Cavs @ Rockets
2015-03-01
Sorry for the delay guys!
LeBron is back and looking to take down another MVP rival in The Beard…
Cavs look to get back on the winning track (even without Kyrie). Going to be a challenging one today against the Rockets… I believe the Cavs will ride another strong performance from LBJ to victory…
Prediction: Cavs 115-111. Fire up the comments!
Delly needs to get out of this game.
Shump should be in for Delly. LeBron running the offense.
It’s ridiculous that Delly is in the game right now.
MOZ had ALL BALL!!!
LOVE IS HEATING UP!
Need the switch delly off Beverly.
Beverly is abusing Delly. TAKE HIM OUT
Huge 3 by love and lebron
Delly keeps getting toasted by Beverly b
Beverly looked like he traveled under the hoop.
Big time three from KLove!
Put Perkins in and knock Beverley down a little
+1 on this… What is he here for if not to clock idiots like Beverly…
Officials are terrible here. Gonna be tough not to get blown out the way this is going
This is getting freaking ridiculous! Harden fouled Moz but no call… Moz then gets the foul call for trying to get it back
Cavs seem a bit rattled.
It’s on! This is playoff like basketball.
Houston and the crowd are amped up. Going to be playoff intensity here. Let’s see how we respond.
Now is the time to get Delly OUT OF THE FREAKIN’ GAME.
We need guys who can play defense and offense. Get Shump back in there. Sit Delly down. Can’t afford to have players on the court right now who aren’t contributing. Houston could full away quick.
Cavs need to step up their toughness and intensity here…
He wasn’t set. Shouldn’t lebton have free throws?
That will Chang e officiating.
What Tirico said — more whistles after an incident like that — should help the Cavs.
Frankenstein (aka McHale) is crying to the refs.
He wasn’t set. It was a block. Not a charge.
Disagree with Hubie on the original foul call. Beverley was still sliding under as LeBron went up.
Exactly. You’d think Hubie would know the rules of the game.
Beverly is a dirty f’er tho.
To be fair that should’ve been a charge on James.
He wasn’t set.
That #%@&$ is a dirty player.
All right, double T.
Liked that Moz jumped right in there…
Beverly needs to back the F up…
Beverly is a scrub!
Gotta be a T on Beverly
That play to Moz is there all day…
Damn it! Not looking good. I hate Houston.
I still don’t understand why defenders let Harden drive left. And the Rockets are doing a great job on defense against the great “Cavs offense”. #isoallnight
Cavs need to shoot the ball better. 3-18 is not cutting it from 3.
Despite the poor officiating there is a lot to like with the way the cavs are playing. Keep looking down in the paint and if a few more threes fall were winning this tough road game. Shump and Delly doing a decent job of pg
Agree with this point Gregg… Just need to hit shots in the second half
There’s a reason why Harden leads the league in FTs.
Does the public review of calls within the last 2 mins have anything to do with it? I imagine the refs are making a point that they are pissed. (The public review doesn’t start until Monday)
one the worst halves of officiating I’ve seen in awhile…lebron getting hacked left and right and no calls…when will silver fix officiating and stop rewarding harden who travels every time he drives to hoop haha….despite everything Cavs only down 3
Lebron got screwed at the end there. I’m sure Nate will spin this in a bad way. Because he hates Lebron.
Hard to fault Bron for getting no calls on the amount of hacks he’s taken with refs swallowing their whistles…
Windy must have paid them again to help back up his claim of Harden as MVP…
I hate playing Houston because it always seems like they get so much help from the refs.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Blatt lose his cool and get a T when they get terrible calls like this…
Houston can’t hope to defend us. They don’t have the ability. We’d be up 20 if the refs weren’t swallowing their whistles. This is one of the most absurd things I’ve ever seen. LeBron hasn’t attempted a FT. LOL
WOW… great pick up on the lack of FTAs for LBJ.
But, Vegas wants Houston to win… so, you gotta fight the refs in this one.
It’s borderline criminal… LBJ getting hacked every time he drives… smh
James Harden is so overrated! He gets so many points off of FTs. Most of the time he’s traveling or not fouled!
Where is Blatt? GET T’D UP
This is getting ridiculous!
Where is the call on the push?!
HOW ABOUT BLOWING YOUR GD WHISTLES REFS?!
I’ve never seen a more obvious decision to not call fouls.
I hate Houston and these refs!
It’s time for Blatt to get on the refs. Stick up for you player. The refs are screwing us over hardcore.
I agree… take the tech.
Ridiculous officiating!
And how is that not a foul on James?
Nice play Delly!!! Gotta make up call for once.
Then the refs make BS call right back.
LBJ got MUGGED at the rim that time… smh
Rockets do move the ball around well…
How’s that a foul on JR.?
Another block from TT!
Need some more production from the backcourt… JR, Delly and Shump are a combined 1-12…
If they keep feeding the post, the defense will collapse and created better looks for the shooters.
cavs need to exploit mozgov vs whoever the hell is rockets center and love vs josh smith match ups….getting easy points
This game should look like the Warriors game.
KLove has almost all of his points in the paint today… LOVE THAT!!
Nice pass RUDY!!! Great lay up LOVE!
Nice block by Mozilla!
Nice sequence here!!! Keep it going!
MOZ-ERATI! Get that weak stuff OUTTA HERE!
Mozerati better play more than 20 minutes today.
thnk Cavs can really blow this game open but they aren’t hitting outside shots and having silly turnovers
Agreed. Jumpers look ugly, too.
Bingo Leo… they should be able to clean it up in the second half…
KLove with a DUNK!
Great play by Shump!
WOW! Josh Smith is turribllle…
NICE DEFENSE!@!!! Contained Harden on that possession.
