Live Thread: Celtics at Cavs
2016-11-03
The Cavs disposed of the Raptors in Toronto and now they get a chance to play the Celtics, the other team oft-mentioned as one of the few that could challenge the Cavs’ supremacy in the East.
The Celtics are a little banged up right now. Â Olynyk is for a few more games after recovering from offseason shoulder surgery (ironically enough). Â Al Horford might be out because of a concussion and Gerald Green and Jae Crowder are nursing tender ankles.
The Cavs are spreading and firing all over the court. Â They lead the NBA in 3-pointers so far this season. Â We’ll see if they attack the Celtics’ interior without Horford. Â We should see a ton of former Cavalier Tyler Zeller tonight.
Let’s talk about it tonight!
Celtics look a lot better in this quarter. They are getting a lot of easy baskets
Meh…

Sick reverse from Kyrie. Cavs need to get their intensity back up though
Cause they need to be up by 20+ at all times…
OH MY KYRIE!!
GIF Magic…

I love Reggie and the Czar chastising Amir Johnson for not outrunning LeBron.
LBJ FOR THREE!!

Sorry, Gents, had to spend some QT time on the couch watching the Cavs with the better half. Couldn’t celebrate with y’all. Cavs look goood… I just thought of something. TT should gun for DPOY.
Cavs gotta do a better job against Bradley. He’s isolated on the wings and getting to the cup too easily.
I’m okay with it since he’s on my CtB fantasy team…
JUST CAUGHT A QUICK GLIMPSE OF A REPORT THAT ” THE MOZ ‘ WAS INJURED —ANYDODY KNOW THE EXTENT OF THE INJURY ?
Inconclusive x-rays on orbital bone fracture. I guess his face is still pretty swollen. That’s what I heard yesterday, anyway.
Should be our ball tho right?
JR says NO!
OHHHHHH! Kyrie with the All Star backboard assist to LBJ on the break!

TT preventing Bron from getting his triple double with the rebounds…
Oh Tyler… you can’t stop a locomotive…
LeBron just pivots and swishes a 20 footer…
So strange…

They just cut and pasted Ernie’s face onto TT’s body holding hands with Khloe… LOL
“It’s a 68-51 lead for the World Champs” – Ernie Johnson. Sounds so sweet
GOOD TO SEE SHUMP HAVING A GOOD GAME —MIGHT BE A CONFIDENCE BOOSTER
he’s having a great game. Haven’t seen him play this well offensive in over a year
Yo that Kyrie defense!!! What is it November 3rd??? What is this some alternate universe??
yeah he and LeBron are playing at an insane level tonight.
I thought Stevens was supposed to be a good defensive coach… Cavs almost get 70 in the half…
to be fair, they are without crowder so no one can guard LeBron. And he’s just picking them apart with passing while they scramble
I’m not interested in being fair to Stevens…
That move by Kyrie was SICK
When did Kyrie learn how to play D?
he’s done a great job denying Thomas the ball when he’s trying to catch and drive
LeBron just drawing doubles and finding guys spotted up for 3. It’sa thing of beauty
Get used to seeing it…
Bron 6 points away from passing Hakeem for 10th all time…
26 away. Broadcast team made a mistake
I really like how aggressive the Cavs offense is. They look like the 7 seconds or less Suns on offense

15 assists already. I think 23 looks like a lock
JUST GOT HOME FROM MY TEAM FAL LBANQUET ( CROSS -COUNTRY — HAD TO SAY ” GOODBYE “TO 15 OUTSTANDING SENIORS) —SO FAR SOUNDS GOOD —STILL A LITTLE BAFFLED ON THE ‘ NO SHOW ” OF KILLER SHRIMP AND BIRDMAN —OH WELL WHO AM I TO QUESTION A COACH WHO WON AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP —GO CAVS !!!
TT is DANGEROUS tonight!
You might even say he’s…
This is like the Harlem Globetrotters playing …those other guys.
LeBron purposely backed out that possession to try to get some 2 man game going with TT. Celtics kept bodies on him the whole possession. he still put back LeBron’s reverse layup that rolled off the rim.
TT FOR PRESIDENT
TT is UBIQUITOUS!!
TT WITH NO REGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE!

Marcus Smart… Skyhook?
Marcus Smart with a 16 foot running hook shot. Won’t see that again this decade
Cavs have 60… and there’s almost 5 mins left…
Cavs in transition are just terrifying.
SHUMPERT AGAIN. Man he’s having a nice game
Kyrie is…

Isaiah Thomas has the smirk going again – knows he got away with one
LeBron makes it look easy driving in for the layup off a half court set
Mike and RJ running the two man cut! Soo much fun!
Kyrie’s confidence is through the roof after outplaying the unanimous MVP in the finals. And for good reason. He is on serious fire this year.

Any reason Kay Felder isn’t dressed for the game?
Ty Lue hates him…
Kyrie is completely engulfed in flames right now
Heat check? Nah, Ky is CONSTANTLY on FIRE!
Kyrie shooting like 60% from three this season
Can’t believe Lue is younger than Stephens. They look a decade apart
UNCLE DREW!!!
omg KYRIE
There you go Kev!
Well Kevin hasn’t been shy about firing. Got that long 2 to go
Shumpert actually looks pretty good so far tonight. I’m pleasantly surprised
Maybe he’s learning? Or maybe Boston sucks like Cols says?
LeBron back to chewing his nails. I thought he stopped that in Miami
Shump! Flashing to the hoop!
Kyrie is back…
Love can’t get anything to go down
Kev has missed a few tonight…
Still no turnovers for the entire game.
Nobody like Russ West…

I love that man. Working construction before a game.
Dude, this made laugh so hard..
Frye looks so good with this team. He’s so damn mobile.
One last eerie note on the WS… Both teams scored the same amount of runs… 27 (not unlike the Cavs and Dubs in the Finals)
We scored 4 more points than them. It was 699-699 before KI’s final three.
2015 Cavs=2016 Indians.
omg Channing Frye missed the stuff but he is active
Shump carving them up!…
Is this the “Tall Forwards Lineup”?
This is the: No obvious playmakers lineup.
