Live Thread: Cavs vs Sixers
2017-12-09
Sans Joel Embiid, the Sixers look to avenge their late November loss to the Cavs at the Wells Fargo Center. The Sixers are electing to sit the probable all-star center. Philly is coming off a last second loss to Brandon Ingram and the Lakers, Thursday, as Ingram drained a three with .8 seconds left.
Cleveland, meanwhile, lost a tough one in Indy the night before and are 1-3 on back-to-backs so far this season. With no Embiid, it would behoove the Cavs to go to Kevin Love in the post early and often. Look for the Sixers to get some run for Trevor Booker, who they acquired from the Nets for Nik Stauskus and Jahlil Okafor. Dario Saric is also questionable.
I was picking the Sixers, but with Embiid out, I’m going to say that Kevin Love avenges last night’s loss to get the win train rolling for Cleveland again, 110-102. Go Cavs.
Wade pretty rough the last two minutes
How is that a foul on Wade? Bayless fouled him twice before the call…
Definitely looked like a Bayless foul, regardless of what Wade did after…
I don’t know where that foul was on Wade.
What happened to Wade at the FT line? Bad couple of games…
Man, Wade and the FTs…
Holmes has a point. There was no foul there. Wade twisted his butt into him.
T Holmes…
Vintage Wade…
Holmes is a terrible three point shooters. They’re closeout recklessly on him.
Good sell by Channing…
Nice flop, channing
Definitely a travel by Booker…
Man, green is taking a beating tonight.
Jeff Green taking NFL hits out there…
Dinobots assemble!
Jose’s passing game is on point
Might be time for a couple of Zizic minutes…
Don’t think you’ll see him again until garbage time… that’s the problem with Ty not playing him more regularly… it’s too much to ask him to come in and spot start…
Yeah, likely right…it’ll be Frye only for a big…
Jose with a very nice game tonight. Whole floor game.
Yeah, good game for him…
Bad clock management…
Crowder with the ugliest banana ever…
Banana on the floor…
Surprised Simmons doesn’t just do that every time…. Cavs have no interior D right now…
Reddick found his range…
OLE!
At some point, Crowder has to start hitting those corner threes…
With no DRose and Shumpert, this is almost the most frustrating thing about this team right now.
Jose doing work on D…
If Simmons could shoot….right now he is bricktastic…
Bron should have got an and one there…
Yeah, he took a pretty good full-body bump. That was a TOUGH shot. Honesty, he mighta got the call if he missed the shot.
What’s the rule for who can shoot that tech? The coach got T’d up after the first half buzzer. Must the player be playing at the end of Q2? Playing at the beginning of Q3? Or can in be any player of TLue’s choosing?
Someone take some clippers to Saric’s head and face…
Strong three from Jose!
Jose Fuego…
No Z… Jeff Green starts the second half…
Jose with a rare miss on the tech FT…
After 6 turnovers in the first quarter… zero in the second…
Bench is the difference tonight… all starters in negatives…

Get ready for the Browns to draft him.
Maybe if Sashi was still there… but not the new GM…
Kind of a miracle halftime score after the wretched start…
Brett Brown just got T’d up…
Good finish by Cavs after letting Philly back into it…
Nice close to the quarter.
Great pass Jose!
Great pass, Jose!
Bron drawing a smart foul on out of control Simmons…
Yes way Jose!
Up and under by DWade!
Figures we get Booker tonight…I’d rather have Oak…
Run by the Sixers… Cavs need to finish the half strong…
Nice finish, Wade!
Bron whining. Cause he got his weak shot blocked
Bron arguing fouls instead of getting back on D…
Bron not hitting his inside shots as much…
JR just passed Kobe for 12th place on the all time threes made list…

PIPE AND ONE!
Wonder if we’ll see Zizic again…
Happy Birthday Richaun Holmes… now 1-37 on threes…
Good aggressive drive from Bron… hope that continues…

The difference between last night and tonight? Bench is so much better.
And hitting shots…
Channing is ready to play !
Give LBJ the second quarter off…
Next time Saric turns his back, Cedi needs to cut backside.
Channing turnaround!!
Cedi’s hustle to get through that screen caused the offensive foul. I love this kid.
The Jedi is EVERYWHERE!
Not a foul?
