Live Thread: Cavs vs. Wizards (Fan Appreciation Night Version)
2015-04-15
Yes Cavs fans, it’s the last game of the regular season. The Cavs are resting LeBron and keeping Kyrie and his hip on a minutes restriction, but the rest of your favorite wearers of the Wine & Gold will be out on the floor.
Before you dive headlong into playoff mode, take this last respite to reflect on this awesome regular season. Then… bring on the Celtics!
Let me add my thanks to be CtB crew, formal and off the bench.
Do you know how many sports blogs like this…. suck? This a welcome respite – I feel like I know you… and probably owe beers to!

The Heat shouldn’t have given up on Norris Cole. He’s going to the playoffs. The Heat are not!
Pacers officially eliminated. Hawks get a cake walk to the ECF.
Cavs too. Both teams have it easy. Atlanta had it easy with or without pacers
Hahahahaha. Pacers suck. Hibbert sucks. I cannot believe people thought that team could take a game or two in the first today in the first round. They need to blow it up.
Too many Cols… Too many Cols!!!
LOL… Too many Cols!
Paul George was just carried off the court with a leg injury. It looks like it was the opposite leg.
I always said they should keep him off the court this season. Even if it has nothing to do with his broken leg, think of the damage to his mental game if he re-injures himself weeks after getting back on the court. And its looking like they are going to fall short of the playoffs despite everything.
Because that team is trash.
That’s a real shame. I feel bad for PG-13
@35_Fitz: Wouldn’t go to war with any other guys! Helluva season Jazz Nation!!! And oh yeah, glad we didn’t lose to a non playoff team @Enes_Kanter
Trevor Booker trolling Kanter. Lol!
@cavsdan: Hey @cavs fans, you can count on our entire franchise being”ALL IN”. Easy to be such with the best fans in the world. http://t.co/FJxdPvCW1I
No playoffs for Saint Weirdo AGAIN!
I would still pay good money to attend a Saint Weirdo playoff watch party…
I think the Hawks sweep the Nets!
Or the pacers. It’s a sweep either way.
Hibbert is terrible.
Cols, how many players in the NBA are terrible?
Hibbert. Waiters. Bennett. Mkg. Just to name a few.
How many? I think there are 500 NBA players. How many are terrible?
Hibbert waiters mkg Reggie Jackson carter Williams Jarrett jack Jared Sullenger Anthony Bennett. Surgery karasev rondo Rubio Otto porter earl Clark Thomas Robinson to name more.
Million dollar talent ten cent head.
Overtime win was fun!! Didn’t watch it but the box score was interesting.
Just want to say “thanks” to CtB for a great season of commentary. (And the regulars, too for their comments and contributions). As my first time posting, I just want to say how important this blog is to me as a Cavs fan who isn’t local and doesn’t have many (any) other fans to get together with.
Thanks. That means a lot!
Glad you posted Fitz! Welcome!
Shawn got the credit but Haywood got the clutch hoop.
Poor Haywood lol.
Good win at home! Great fan night!!
Just watch… Haywood might still make an impact in spot minutes in the playoffs…
You really think Blatt would put him on the floor in anything but garbage time, EG???
Mostly sarcasm, but you really just never know. There always seems to be a crazy matchup opportunity or two in playoff situations…
Or am I missing the obvious sarcasm? :(
Delly interview on now
Andy just interview bombed him… LOL
My lord he looks like a criminal…
A smooth criminal!
I don’t think the Pacers are gonna win this so it looks like the Hawks will have an easy path to the ECF.
Cols: “Where they will be destroyed in 5 or 6 games by the Cavs.”
That was the perfect way to finish Marion’s career in the regular season. I love this team!
I know I’m losing my ship by one Kyrie Irving team victory, EG.
I really didn’t think he would play… sorry man!
Actually, I wound up with 7 team wins (so far) tonight, so it probably wouldn’t have mattered (if that makes a difference)
What a finish!! Fan Appreciation INDEED!!
ENTER THE MATRIX!!!!
Delly 18 pts, 12 assists?????
Move over Russell!
We all know who the real MVP is! *wink, wink*
THE PRESSURE BURST THE PIPE! And probably AC’s head too!
FIVE SECONDS!!!!
I can’t tell if these replays are in slowmo or not.
That ball took like 10 seconds to enter frame on the slo-mo replay…
HEADBAND WORN YO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They should put in Damon Jones for the final corner three…
This game is like watching a box turtle race.
The Perk/Haywood two man game is like a bullet time rooftop fight from the Matrix… They were in the paint for at least 5 seconds…LOL
Haywood is getting his secret weapon in shape for the playoffs.
Well can’t wait to for the Noah smack talk in the second round…
This season will not end.
Delly Flagrant 1?
Jesus, Perk. You may be losing playoff minutes to Haywood.
Gotta respect Delly for going back to the Perk well… he’s giving him good feeds… Perk just can’t get more than an inch off the floor…
Man, DeJuan can still rebound…
HAYWOOD blocks the helicopter into the skyscraper!!
Haywood!!! Huge block.
You gotta DUNK that PERK!
Wow! Dion scored 33 tonight for OKC… too bad they’re gonna miss the playoffs…
Pelicans going to the playoffs!!!!
Wait… Perk travelled? I didn’t expect that…
Pels vs Spurs down to the wire. Owls up 5 with 9 seconds to go.
Bulls gonna win and now the Pacers are losing :(
I bet the Pacers come back and win
Nets win… Pressure on the Pacers!
Only right it should go to OT on Fan Appreciation Night…
Some extra bball for the fans.
So is it a Delly Trey, a Perkins Pancake or OT?
Remember when Randy Wittman was the Cavs coach?
Delly’s been watching LBJ do that too much…
PERK HAS NOT MISSED A SHOT!
Let’s go Cavs! Perk with his best game in the ‘Land
CHALUPAS!!! Angry Smurf style!
Sooo…delly haters are having an interesting night
The Delly Double… his second double-double of the year… he’s only 57 behind KLove…
CHA-LU-PAS! CHA-LU-PAS!
The Matrix looked practically spry on that one!
Brooklyn keeping the pressure on Indy…
Looks like Atlanta does not want to face the Bulls in the second round as they let the Bulls take over. Magic folding against Nets too.
AND ONE! HEADBAND WORN YO!
Joe apparently hasn’t seen the banana in the tailpipe move since he’s been down in Canton… smh…
I always wondered what happened to DeJuan Blair…
Moz had to separate KLove and TT from their mock MMA bout on the bench… at least these guys are having fun…
Perkins with the slam!
I think Perk was inbounds when he inbounded that ball….
To be fair, there really isn’t enough room for him to be completely out of bounds.
Blatt taking a timeout to put in the other guys they brought up today from the Charge?
Cavs have outscored the Wiz 17-6 in the fourth
