Live Thread: Cavs vs Hornets
2017-11-24
Tonight the 11-7 Cavaliers face off against the 8-9 Charlotte Hornets. Cleveland is riding a six game win streak and beat the Hornets on the 15th 115-107 in their last meeting. LeBron and company tend to bring the heat when going up against MJ’s team. It’s as if James wants to give Michael a first hand view of the new king of the NBA.
In their last several outings Cleveland has seemingly turned things around, aided by superb outings by several contributors. Korver is back to shooting lights out as his shooting percentages in the 4th quarter in particular have been nothing short of astounding. Jeff Green has been surprising and the team is performing much better as a whole.
Charlotte, on the other hand, followed up a six-game losing streak with their current three straight wins. Batum is questionable tonight after reinjuring his elbow. For the Cavs, Shumpert is still nursing a nagging injury while Derrick Rose is reportedly away from the team and evaluating his future in the NBA. Cleveland should have no trouble dispersing the Hornet’s nest tonight. Go Cavs!
Wtf was that?
13 offensive boards to 3
With Dwight out, why no love in the post?
Finally
Dumb foul by Wade.
Every time Lamb scores, an angel dies…
The Sacrificial Lamb
Lol
Don’t need the threes Jae… get it inside…
So many second chances…
Different lineups to start the 2nd & 4th. Wade, Korver, Green, Love, Frye.
Did Kemba just miss both FTs?
Fred jinxed him!
Channing doing a nice job on the boards with 7…
Weird three point try by Wade there…
Off the dribble. Never a good option.
Hawks win their 4th over the Knicks tonight.
Nice flurry at the end. Kemba cools off. James’ jumper is wet.
Cavs keep going way under the pick on Walker. He’s gonna hit one of these threes…
Good to see Cavs snag the lead back going into the fourth…
Every game there’s at least one, and sometimes two, opposing players with a season best in points. Tonight Marvin Williams. It’s early in the season so it’s easier to get a high in points, but still….
LeTrey!
I’m convinced he made a deal with the devil to improve his shot…looks like night and day…

Hornets contest almost every three by the Cavs…
Just canny t leave Williams open…too easy…
Too many open shots for Williams…
Contested shots do wonders…
We need to bitch about JR more. He has hit three from deep since then !

Frye! To the flame!
JR with three straight awful calls against him.
Glad Lue didn’t listen to me on JR. Howard is still an ass.
That was a waste of a tech and a possession…
Wade baited the ref into that call
Just when JR’s shot was about to be declared dead, he hits two in a row.
SWISH!
Channing Frye with the swat!
Cavs cannot buy a call. In their own building lately. Two absolute BS calls on smith.
I didn’t see a foul there…
Gotta agree with Kyle. LeBron’s jumper has rarely looked better.
Juust a bit outside Jae…
Wow didn’t realize how good that Bron pass was till the replay.
Lamb’s game is aesthetically insulting…
10th assist for LBJ….
Some redemption…
So lethargic at home. Bugs playing harder.
Swish!
Let’s get some Cedi hustle in there.
JR needs to sit. Bring on Korver or Cedi.
JR should start losing minutes at this point
JR fell asleep…
JR is nowhere.
Kemba heating up…
We in trouble. 2nd unit gonna have to win it.
Gilchrist travels, falls down, gets a bail out foul call
No heat check?

WHAT?!
Did LeBron change his shoes at halftime?
Definitely.

LeBron was fouled by both Howard and the ref on that three.
That was a tasty banana…
Charlotte up on us 53% to 33% on triples & 9-3 on the offensive glass.
Seems a lot like the last game…
