Live Thread: Cavs @ Nets (#Reassembled)
2017-01-06
What’s so special about an early January game on the road against the worst team in the NBA? Well, for the first time in four games, the Big Three is back together… and just in time for the longest road trip of the season (six games in 11 days) that ends on MLK Day with a rematch against the Warriors. Kyrie is back from his hamstring trouble… Kev is back from his fishy culinary misadventure… LeBron is back from a nasty cold. Oh, right… the Cavs are also on the verge of bringing in another weapon as they work to finalize a trade for sharpshooter Kyle Korver. If the deal makes (and sources say it should be done soon), we’ll be saying goodbye to Mike Dunleavy and Mo Williams (as well as the Cavs’ 2019 first round pick) and hello to the best spot up three point shooter in the league this year.
Catch all the action on Fox Sports Ohio starting at 7:30pm EST. And, don’t forget to chime in here…
Well, we’ve shot like crap (sans James & Shump). Stopped playing once we got up 20. Sloppy. Disjointed. Good thing we had the nets. Game not over, we should hang on.
Bad transition D after the KLove three miss…
Kyrie with some El Toro defense.
I gotta say, I dig the Nets’ organ music. “Don’t stop believin’.”
Shump gets bailed out.
Nice three from Klove!
But so can KLove…
Lavert can shoot…
Brooklyn commentator complaining about how Cavs complain “after Every. Single. Call.”
Against Brooklyn, they have good reason… all those guys do is grab people…
Ridiculously efficient shooting night for LBJ… 13-18
LeBron going back to bully ball in the post.
That looked like a good block from TT…

WOW. Kyrie: ball on a (ham)string.
Nice…
Holy Toledo! Kyrie!

Fans gotta learn… it’s not wise to jabber at Cavaliers during games…
Gonna be in Cleveland next weekend. Renting a place for the whole weekend and just enjoying the city. Any suggestions?
I got Sokolowski’s, Greenhouse Tavern, Table Top Board Games in Ohio City, West Side Market, and Guitar Riot on the agenda.
Sokolowski’s is very good as is Greenhouse.
Lola Bistro, Town Hall (have seen Cavs here several times, great food), Rock and Hall of Fame if you haven’t been there and Happy Hour at the Ritz (good food and drink deals beginning at 5)
Where’s the Ritz?
Ritz Carlton in the Terminal Tower
oh, huh.
The food deals are in the main lobby bar lounge. We usually hang here before games as there is a corridor leading right to,the Q. Cavs’ opposing teams typically stay here. Cavs Dan owns the hotel
UNCLE DREW! MFQ!
Cmon guys this is such a dreadful start to the 4th
WOW. What a bullshit call.
Cavs settling for quick jumpers and Nets taking it to the hoop…
K-Love looks so drained
Bad shot by RJ and Irving hoisted it too quick also
JUST BACK—-ENJOYED THAT PICTURE OF KLOVE WITH THE ” ROTO ROOTER ” BANNER IN THE BACKGROUND —–SEE A COMMERCIAL BREWING WITH THAT AFTER HIS RECENT ” SEA BASS ATTACK “—WORK YOUR MAGIC WITH THAT EVIL
Who’s more likely to be employed by the NBA in the year 2020 Jordan McCray or Joe Harris?
I assume that was a misprint and you meant to say end of 2017…
Probably McRae, but I find it hard to believe either will be…
To anyone decrying the Korver trade: Look at all these open looks the Cavs get from LeBron and Kyrie. It’s going to be sick.
Imagine Korver shooting them instead of McRae.
McRae gives up,theee and misses a wide open three to close the third. Maybe he has a few prongs of the Dunleavy fork in him.
Korver will love hitting that wide open corner three that McRae just butchered…
Is there anything weaker than a McRae foul?
Drop him, add Hollis Thompson
GUMDROP HAS ENTERED THE BUILDING…. oh wait, that’s just LavERt
The singer?

That LeBron pass to McRae was incredible, even though McRae couldn’t finish. Left-handed, almost the length of the court, led him beautifully on a bounce…
LeBron with just a 70 feet left handed pass to get McRae to the free throw line.
Oh, just a left handed 70 foot rope from the King… ho hum…
Wig had 41 tonight… but was still -4 and his team blew a fourth quarter lead to lose to the Wiz…
Looking at the Brooklyn roster makes me think this is a preseason game against a European team. Who are these guys?
They have to trade Lopez. I mean, what’s the point of keeping him?
I love it when LBJ almost posterizes the towel guy…
LeBron has a discreet chat with a boy sitting courtside in a Cavs jersey
Prolly told him who the Cavs are trading for at PG…
Good gravy the Nets are bad. I’m only holding out for gumdrop.
Gumdrop should really be wowing crowds finishing ally-oops from Rondo….in Xinjiang…
Could you imagine the Gum Drop Bear statue in China? Epic…
The Russians did a better job fixing the elections than fixing the Nets…
Nice
Hack-a-TT in effect…but he makes both!
4-12!!!
Getting into Drummond territory…
3-11!!!!!!
Cmon TT
LBJ… just nasty
Booker started that jump five feet too early….
Holy hell, is TT really 0-9 at the line?
Leb has been coaching him….or vice versa…
Like a badge of honor….
Yep we have discusssed needing the Rick Barry underhand technique. And many of them were bricks

Nets throw more balls away then RG3…
This…

That KLove pass to LBJ for the dunk earlier…
https://twitter.com/FOXSportsOH/status/817552353876287489
That three gave Kev another double double…
Love went to the bench shaking his head. Looks like he’d be happy with an IV drip in the locker room for the rest of the game.
LIG!!!

Uh-oh. Joe Harris heating up. Now 1-8.
Declared him hot too soon Phil Hubbard. 1-9
Dinwiddie…
http://www.electricscotland.com/history/other/images/rdinwiddie.gif
How many wins did Dinwiddie wid if Dinwiddie did win wid?
Kyrie starting to feel it bruv…
Dinwiddie killed the Cavs last time they played.
Remember they had a 40 point lead, and he had a huge plus minus in the fourth.
Gonna be tough now on the bench wid four fouls…
K-Love looks like a stick-man.
Dinwiddie didn’t win did he?
I hope you saw my picture from megamind, below.
Loved that!
Great pass by Kev to LBJ for the crush!
AC just stole my line… “maybe TT should start shooting jump shots that way…”
Nets throw more balls away then a blind juggler…
Spencer Dinwiddie would be a great target as a backup point.
Is it me or is it completely obvious when LeBron is gonna brick one of those turnarounds?
The Lopez brothers should star as a pair of twin villains in a bond movie. Ok, maybe not star, but they should be henchmen.
Like those two goofy henchmen in ‘Diamonds are Forever’
K-Love (lookin super skinny tonight) starts it out with a rainbow three.
Sea Bass diet…
Just tuned in……. TT is 0 for 9 from the line ……… O_O
And most haven’t been close…
the Kardashian kurse.
Ugh. My wife insisted we watch jeopardy so I had to catch up to the game. A couple thoughts: Justin Hamilton is the whitest person in the NBA.
Liggins will be better when he gets a little confidence. He was so much more engaged after that made reverse.
The Nets are awful with no hope of getting better any time soon. They have to find a way to move Lopez.
Justin Hamilton… mouthbreather
Great likeness…
Billy King should be burnt in effigy for giving away all their picks to the Celtics…
King was a bad GM< but he was really just doing what his owner wanted…I blame the moronic ownership. They should just do a Philly style tank for about 5 years.
King was an epically bad GM for multiple teams.
Joe Harris should get a tattoo… 0-4EVER
What’s a better nickname? Chokin Joe, or Joke Harris?
Either would be acceptable…
hah, catchy
