Live Thread: Cavs vs. Wizards
2017-12-17
The last time the Cavaliers faced off against the Washington Wizards, LeBron went off in an explosion for 57 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists leading Cleveland to one of its early season marquee wins. In addition to LeBron’s supernova, Jeff Green had his coming out party, putting up 25 points of his own. A lot was different in that first match-up. The Cavs were struggling at 4-5 and the Wizards were 4-4. Derrick Rose was starting and played 29 minutes.
Now, both teams have risen back to the top of the Easter Conference, Cavs holding a 22-8 record, Washington a 16-13 records. The Cavs are resting DWade tonight, IT still hasn’t made his return, but TT should be getting 14-15 minutes, per Ty Lue. The Cavs and especially James have been playing very well of late so I expect tonight to go well. Cleveland tends to get up for games against “rivals” so hopefully that remains the case tonight. Go Cavs!
Two awful shots by James. WTF
Come on lebron
LeBron chucking tonight!
That’s offensive interference. Missed call by refs!
Wizards playing the clock. Cavs playing the Wizards.
Love with a 3 & some D & LeBron spin cycle for 1. JR steal.
Hmm mm interesting JR. EG should make a meme !,, lol
Sweet having the bench greet JR
Haha Cavs bench hilarious
JR, this is why we love you!
Nice defense by Love and JR and finish by Bron!
Alright!
Another bad Bron pass there.
Wow!!!
Needed that
KLove!
Ball don’t lie!
That’s not much of a foul.
Horrible pass by Bron!
Damn it
Close with Love, Green, Bron, Korver + JR.
JR just 1/7 from deep and a few could have been momentum changers.
Yeah he’s had some unlucky bounces.
Idk Need focused JR to come in
Good call on that charge.
Time for Love. We haven’t scored in a while.
Gortat did the same thing earlier and it was a foul on Cavs!
Man if JR hit that shot
The refs favoring Washington tonight with the charge/block calls.
Bron pushed off. Easy call.
Gortat did the same earlier and it was a foul on Cavs.
Great block. JR has to hit those.
Laxy pass from James there.
Indy up 13 with a tad more time left.
We are on fumes but battling.
Jeff Green has been so good for the Cavs.
Nice pass from Bron & great finish by Green. Up six if he makes the FT.
Green Machine!
Need that Green Machine meme !!
Heck of a pass and finish by Lebron/ Green…and Lebron has his triple double…
Jeff Green fuck yah
At least someone is throwing touchdowns for Cleveland today!
Jeff Green, touchdown dunk!
LeBron with a bad-Melo-Esque shooting night.
James too 3 happy now
James defending and rebounding like he is possessed
He’s stealing rebounds from his teammates.
A Westbrook specialty
Yeah, that stretch was very Westbrookian as far as rebounds go…
Lebron knows he needs the boards for the triple double…
James can’t make two deep right wingers in a row.
That didn’t look good leaving Bron’s hands.
Nice pass finish – LeBron-Korver!
When TT isn’t rolling, he’s worthless on o
Don’t really like TT in this group…
Well, they held their ground with Bron out. TT is at 12 minutes.
Only watched 3rd qtr but is TT doing anything on the floor
Scotty Brooks stating he’s glad LeBron is getting older
KLove with 20/8 after a slow start. Hopefully James does his usual 4th quarter magic
Both teams look tired and just jacking up shots
It would be nice if the Cavs could get the Cavs some cushion when they enter the game. The starters looked gassed.
Just love Green game
Kev with a lucky bounce! Cleveland survives to be down only one because of some key misses by the wizards and some big shots by Kevin Love.
JR & needs to hit some shots. Nice roll there for Love. Back within 1.
Bullets totally deserved that bounce in three from Love…
Wizards gonna shoot themselves out of the game.
Time for bench
We are taking too many jumpers.
Tired legs
That’s a charge on Beal.
The only difference between the charge and the block is that Beal is a star and Oubre isn’t.
Exactly
Second unit needs to check in
Kev settling a lot tonight.
Crowder with a great finish! After a LeTouchdown pass!
Cavs look tired and uninterested, let the bench try to get this one.
Ah JR
Kev with a big thee set up be a very nice JR screen.
I hate B2Bs.
