Live Thread: Kings vs. Cavs
2017-01-25
Starting lineup for the Kings: Boogie Cousins, Kosta Koufos, Garrett Temple, Arron Afflalo, and Darren Collison
Starting lineup for the Cavs: LeBron, TT, Shump, Love, K.I.
Will be interesting to see if LeBron continues his strike on playing defense or if the Cavs come out to put the Kings away early. Meanwhile, the Kings are 2-8 in the last 10, but are 2.5 games out of a playoff spot in the West. So, theoretically, they still have something to play for.
Another TO from James there. Down 1. Run it through Kyrie here. James can sit out top & cut.
Guys are too tired because of no OT substitution rule
I see what you did there.
Throw away a 5 pt lead with plain sloppiness.
Let that TT block moment be the turning point of the season
GD it, LeBron. GD it Kevin.
Kev should NOT have thrown up a weak putback.
Poor pass from James, we got a 2nd chance, no dice. TT to the rescue. Get. That. Weak. Stuff. Outta. Here.
Kevin has to double harder there.
Total foul by Cousins there on Bron on the drive. TT erases it at the other end though!
That block was Rodman-esque
Kev playing well in OT. James getting some help in OT from Ky & Kev. Cousins is 9-27 they say on TV.
K-Love and Kyrie AWESOME this OT.
Let’s put them away this time.
With how Shump has shot, makes no sense he has been on the pine
Is there a rule im not aware if that you cant sub in players in OT?
TD pass, Love to Kyrie.
Great steal KEvin!
Well, he got one. :) Makes that one after a steal from Love!
Why didn’t irving use the left hand there?
Mister fifth quarter?
Get Kyrie a shot!
Jesus. Get Korver out. Put Shump in. Shump was hitting that Corner three.
Fred saying we are 1-0 in OT. He must have a memory issue on the Spurs game.
RIGHT!?
OK, Guys, let’s do this.
I’m betting by the looks on their faces the Cavs lose this one.
Ugly. You know, we deserve to lose again. Missed FTs. 10 pt 4th quarter lead vanishes at home to SAC. Can’t get a stop & let them go to their #1 option. A pass to a guy who wasn’t open from James & we fail to get a shot.
Miss this many FTs, and you’re probably losing….they may as well be turnovers…
Cripes. Cousins ran through him for that steal. Kevin with an awful seal. Cavs just lackadaisical again.
Easy layup. Any kind of decent shot here is OK. I’d like to get it to Irving. He hasn’t attempted a FG this quarter, however.
That was a nice play by the kings. TT probably helped too early, but they were clearly playing that not to give up the three.
With the ways it had being going with the Cavs I wouldn’t be surprised. I don’t even want to mention it. Let’s just get a stop.
Kyrie over Liggins is comical.
Dude hasn’t played all night. Good call
We sure don’t need another OT
The defensive glass is also an issue. When you play 2 PFs all the time, giving up that length hurts us most nights. And Frye/JFJ as the next PF/C t ypes hurts more.
I can haz shump?
YIKES. Kyrie even misses one. MFQ. Ugh.
58-55 Hornets over Dubs, about midway through 3rd….
Great rebound, Love!
Irving hasn’t got a shot up since he re-entered. Odd. We have gotten good looks, for the most part. Just strange. Love does get passive some nights when his 3 is shakey. I think he tends to run out of gas late.
Got it again! Helpful call there. Let’s nail these FTs! One down! Two down!
Love overpassed that. He should’ve shot there.
LeBron yelled at him for it.
Awful toss helped us there. Do it again is correct thing.
WEDGIE!
LeBron looks absolutely exhausted
Another 40+ minute game, looks like…
Name another player ever 8-12 with a triple double who is under performing lol
Put in shump plz
Kyrie nees a shot.
So much of a better look when KI runs the offense.
We are shooting a higher % on 3s than FTs. Seriously.
Sometimes LeBron tries to force passes that just aren’t there.
Dear God, please let Tristan hit these Free Throws.
James forcing. Lead down to 3. 7-0 run.
Why doesn’t Lue call timeout and get the bench scrubs out. 7-0 run Kings and it was all on Lue.
In his defense, we are getting good looks (Frye & JFJ missed 3s & Felder’s open floor TO). Then a James TO. FT shooting continues to suck.
Is there a problem with Frye’s shoulders? He can only seem to get his hands above them with he’s shooting.
Nice….and true.
Lol
I think Felder & McRae should play spot minutes all the time. Liggins should also play more. Reduce the minutes for guys a tad so we can up the intensity while we are out there.
Korver has really helped the offense tonight.
I need more champ in my life. And the mindfreak
Agree with NOMAD. Moreland deserves a callup.
Good D there! :)
How and the heck do u guys get paid all this money and can’t hit Free Throws …..
Here’s some things we can do to improve:
1) Make some FTs
2) Use the entire roster (I see JFJ & Felder today)
3) Play some friggin D (Dear Mr. James & Ty Lue, if you are playing so many minutes you can’t play D when out there, we’ll reduce your minutes. Ditto for Kyrie).
========================
Lets see where we go from there.
4) Dear Dans: 2 useless rosters spots on a team with championship aspirations is kind of unacceptable. Add someone on a 10-day if you have to.
13 missed ft’s, with at least 8 of those the Cavs would had a double digits lead.
A dios mio. I don’t understand why Kay is playing over Liggins. He’s just not… very good.
I think theyre trying to find another playmaker so lbj doesnt turn it over sovmuch
Actually thought Liggins’ passing looked good the other day. He ran a couple p/rs that got guys open looks that they just didn’t convert.
An unbelievable 11/24 from the lone. I think the Pelicans was like 12/22
“Line”
These free throws are you kidding me.
Free throws
guys are actually cutting through the middle when LeBron posts instead of standing aroudn the perimeter.
This – i dont know why this is so complicated
Let’s make some freebies, Bron.
Nice run to close the quarter.
We’re seeing the Channing Frye the magic were glad to be rid of.
Yep, was thinking the same thing…
Yeah hes been bad the last few weeks and tonight is a masterpiece performance
Bench lbj and frye
I’m telling you Cavs have better with LeBron on the bench for the last week.
