Live Thread: Cavs @ Mavericks
2015-03-10
Our boys in wine and gold and sometimes blue travel to the land of shotgun shells and chicken fried steak for a matchup with the mighty Mavericks of Dallas. The Mavs beat the brakes off the LeBron-less Cavs at The Q by 29 points in early January.  This meeting should be a more competitive bout, as both squads are jockeying for playoff position. Dish.
Keep attacking…. foul trouble becoming an issue for the Cavs.
I think this game is probably done. Dallas will make one more run, we’ll withstand it, slowly build the lead to double digits again, and then scrubs for last 2 minutes.
So….Indiana in the first round is looking inevitable. I’m not looking forward to that; however, it will be a good test off that bat. Trial by fire. Indiana is the only team besides Atlanta that I think will really test us in the east.
whats cavs deal with missing layups tonite..so weird
Yea kyrie with a couple do doubters usually
The Mavs are building up to some T’s here.
Great defensive play by Mozerati again!!!
That falling out of bounds, light pass off dirks ankles was brilliant there by kyrie
LBJ with another dime to Mozerati, poppin the clutch!!! LBJ climbing that assist ladder!
So Chandler’s forearm in Moz’s chest before the block wasn’t a foul?
Isiah Thomas with some serious love for Kyrie.
“He has all the tricks.”
The Cavs can score so quickly.
That was nice. LeBron/Moz PnR, LeBron finds Love cutting from the weak side for the dunk.
Yes sir… exactly.
What a fantastic no look pass to K Love by LBJ!!!!
pacers win again —they are hot right now—would like to see them overtake the bucks for the 6th spot and cavs could avoid playing them the 1st round
If they keep playing that well then I could see that. If not then we can rest LeBron the last 5 games.
KLove with a couple dunks tonight.
He looks like he’s moving better… missed some layups but I like how he looks.
i think cavs have better percentage making 3 pointers than layups haha
I thought this was “The Cavs Blog”…where you discussed the Cleveland Cavs,the opposing teams they are playing…etc.Not what you drink,how big you disgusting beely is and so on…with that said,it seems that the Cavs are back on their game
GOD, I want one of those silver “Tin Man” warmup jackets.
Really??? I think they look ugly as sin. HAHA!
So ugly they’re pretty
Touche my friend…. well played.
28 fouls called in that first half… goodness, that’s just ridiculous.
TT has 3 fouls in 6 minutes. No points or rebounds.
For once Moz should get plenty of minutes in the second half.
Definitely… probably Perk as well.
See you guys… gotta drive home. GO CAVS!
Get home safely, EG!!! GO CAVS!!!
Drive fast so you can catch the second half.
Perkins ends the half with a plus 4!
Got a nice rebound there! I wanted to see him flatten Parson on that last drive.
40 points in the quarter. LeBron with 17, Kyrie and JR with 16 each. Good minutes from Shump.
Better defense by the Cavs during the 2nd, and the offense went crazy!!!! 67 points in a half!!!! JR, Kyrie, and LBJ with 48 points!!!!
With JR a perfect 4-4 from deep, Cavs shooting 52% and Dallas back down to 40%
mavericks aren’t as good a defense team as they used to be….cavs missed a lot of bunnies yet still put up 67 points in half…outscored them 40-22
Will take a 40 point quarter any day of the week!
Rick Carlisle is gonna box Rondo during the half.
Filthy spin on that finish.
Cavs playing great! When JR shoots like this we’re unbeatable.
Kyrie Freaking Swerving!
Kyrie with the pretty and-one!
Perk with the nice screen to get another JR SWISHHH!!!
JR Freaking James Jones Smith!
End-of-quarter alert! Close strong.
Cavs going the other way to end this quarter…
Dallas lucky they didn’t give that foul to Dirk… woulda been his third…
JR SWISHHHHHHH!!!!
cavs have decent lead despite mavericks having easy access to the basket every possession
Not a lot of defense being played inside on either side…
Love’s finding his range in the post!!!
KLove with the PUTBACK DUNK!
He barely got above the rim… but I loved it anyway!!! HAHAHA!!!!
Another BS call by the refs…. Mozerati played perfect defense. This is infuriating.
@ChrisBHaynes: The refs warmed both benches, saying they’ve had enough. The next outburst from either side is getting a technical.
Those much be some really warm benches.
So why didn’t they just T up Carlisle on that last one?
sorry but the refs are horrific tonite benches wouldn’t be complaining if the calls are so inconsistent
@kpelton: For all the talk about rim protection, I think Timofey Mozgov’s best skill on D is cutting off PG penetration on P&R and recovering to big.
Chandler should’ve been called for an offensive foul… He shoved Mozerati and Mozerati gets called…. SMH
Holy cow. I’d have “tripped” and taken out rondo’s larynx once the whistle blew on that bs charge.
Cavs letting Shump run the point here for a bit… I’m worried…
That looked like a goaltend by Parsons?
These refs are drunk… How many bad calls!!!
rondo started falling before kyrie even ran into him hahaha
Kyrie shoulda seen that one coming from Rondo…
Rondo has to be top 5 punchable player.
The 2008 Celtics were an all-time punchable team…
They can’t stop Kyrie and LBJ when they drive…
LeBron sporting racing stripes.
LBJ with the CRUSH! They are back to pushing the ball…
That is the way to beat this Mavs team…
JR SWISHHHHHH!!!!!
That was a travel on Amare… not a foul.
If LBJ doesn’t put the headband back on soon, we’re going to have to create a new category for Headband Wins vs. Losses…
Wow Toronto is getting spanked again . . . the wheels are falling off that wagon fast.
Offense is getting it going… and defense forcing the Mavs to shoot long jumpers. Keep it going!!!
I’m never drinking Jim Beam again since they’ll obviously allow just anyone to stack barrels in their plants…
Not a big Jim Beam fan…. I’ll do Makers’ Mark, heck even Jack, but no Jim.
I just can’t believe that tiny Mila Kunis can even lift an empty barrel…
She’s Jupiter Jones… Queen of the Earth!!! Didn’t you see Jupiter Ascending???
I see most everything… and I didn’t see that one… used to be a huge fan of the Wachowskis, but no longer…
I loved Cloud Atlas…. Jupiter Ascending was pretty good. I’m still a huge fan of theirs.
They lost me after Speed Racer… yikes…
Never saw that…. good thing I didn’t HAHAHA!!!
That’s there for Kyrie all night if he wants to.
When James Jones misses, he misses by a lot.
Mavs helping Cavs out with all the long missed threes…
I wonder if David Hasselhoff is at the game?
Cavs play winning basketball when they run…
Fitting that LBJ passes Mark Price with an assist to THE CHAMP!
I like Jones but that has to be the worst nickname.
I much prefer JAMES FREAKING JONES… but that’s his official one I guess…
If I sign with State Farm does that mean I’ll have a twin that passes in the NBA?
Would that be March Stanton?
Haha not too shabby! But that might work better in the NCAA.
Maybe Karch Stanton (like Karch Kiraly the famous Olympic volleyballer?)
I can’t do it. I can’t wear that much plaid.
Kyrie break down any of the Mavs PG’s easily.
Yeah… Carl’s Jr. is what I want after a hard night of drinking… (puke)
James Jones cannot guard 4’s. James Jones can certainly not guard Dirk.
kyrie throwing hammer down he barely does that!
Rare DUNK FROM KYRIE!!
Kyrie with a rare dunk.
You beat me to it Arch! You are on it tonight man!
