Live Thread: Cavs @ Thunder
2018-02-13
A lot has changed in the few short weeks since Oklahoma laid a 148-124 embarrassing beat down on Cleveland on their own court. The Cavs have swapped out six old, tired, or useless legs for four brand new shiny pieces of what they hope is an NBA Finals roster. With the additions of Rodney Hood, George Hill, Larry Nance Jr., and Jordan Clarkson the mood has drastically shifted in The Land. Oh, and the Cavs won’t be forced to put a hobbled, overly proud Isaiah Thomas on the court.
LeBron is back to looking like he enjoys being the best basketball player on the planet and its lead to three straight wins, including possibly one of the best wins of the season against the Boston Celtics. Tonight should be a much better measuring stick for where the Cavaliers and their new guys are currently as the Thunder aren’t slumping and, as stated earlier, are fresh off of pummeling Cleveland in their last match-up. Cedi is still in the starting lineup and everyone else is available for this match-up. Hopefully the defense is much improved and Cleveland can get an exciting road win against a tough team. Go Cavs!
Larry Nance is better than TT boxing out Adams…
plz tell me something he isnt better at??!!
Impregnating kardashians
Impregnating everyone…
lol!!
jeff is best when attacking the paint, sucks though when he takes those iso jumpers
Nance is having himself a game.
Such a difference defensively compared to last game vs OKC…
will be good for these guys to get time together at all star break to get more acclimated with each other / plays / defense etc .

Clarkson just out-Westbrooked Westbrook…
Nice dish to LBJ by Clarkson after he got in some trouble

AGREE IT IS ONLY 2 GAMES BUT “L-JR” SHOULD GET MORE MINUTES THAT T.T.
yes !!! theres not one thing that nance isn’t entirely better than tt. lets see how long it takes clueless to make this move. one improvment ive noticed with lue lately is finally calling timely timeouts
Hood off the dribble and Nance screen

Felton reminds me of a chucker I used to play with n pickup…he was also fat…
Felton the fattest non-center in the nba?
Did Larry call Felton “Burger King” or something?
Can’t believe Felton is still in the league.
Since when did he become a good shooter?
Wide open, everyone’s good…
Mmmh, not Rose, Wade, or IT.
DO NOT WANT THIS COMING ACROSS THE WRONG WAY —–RODNEY’S HOOD NICNAME —-WHISKEY THAT IS SOOOOOSMOOTH LIKE HIS “J”———“BLACK VELVET “
nance can really score off his dribble , havent seen thst from our centers in years
Felton tonight’s scrub Fuego?
He’s Clarkson’s guy… so maybe
The young guys are a bit tense.
Arby’s nashville hot fish. Or as my buddy Eric called it, “make your own chum.”
Nance looks way more active and alive than TT does most of the time…
nance should be gettng 30 plus minutes with tt under 20
LIGHTS!
wow nance is owning this!!
Nance rocks…
Ok at least Nance can get some boards against Adams.
Nance with a nice dive and o board layup. Playing really well.
Jordan’s knock. He can be a bit of a chucker.
Love that double screen for hood and handoff by nance.
Nance with a sweet roll and finish
Rodney hood “velvet “—-
Rodney Hood’s J is a work of art
jr really kept us in there in 1st quarter
so far competitive game / so much better effort than the previous OKC ( of course that isn’t saying much )—swish looks like the “old swish “—good to see ——what BIG IS OUT THERE to pursue—here or over sea ‘s or g league
keep tt out for most of this game , his defense sucks , and hes a big zero of course on offense, cant catch that ball from jr of course ect
I’d give Nance some minutes against Adams…it’s not like TT has done anything to slow him down, or block him out…
Agreed.
LBJ probably going to have to play a lot this game unless the bench can get some separation against theirs.
I may be annoyed at Clarkson next week, but right now I really like him…
Right now he’s king of the “No No Yes,” but a lot of those are gonna turns into “No No Nos” unfortunately.
Gonna be hard to take JR out of the starting five with his shot working so well right now…

Felt like OKC controlled the pace and physicality, but Cavs still up 1 after 1
Cavs played pretty well on d. Adams abused us but they still made some nice defensive plays, some of which resulted in bad calls.
No 30 point quarter.
Got the lead after one… even with the Adams destruction…
And it was some pretty massive destruction.
11 points and 5 Off Reb for the Q
Nance is awesome…
Dumb foul by OKC…
Nice to see much better effor on D again…I was getting a little board of the constant layups by opponents pre trade…
Great help by nance on that postup
Nance is such a shot altering force
Clarkson with a nifty drive!
Clarkson got manhandled by grant on that postup.
Ray Felton still stopping at BK before games?
arch the only way to find out if “zz” would get “devoured is to ” feed him to the lions ” and see what happens—ty didn’t play cedi and thne he did and well we saw what happened –not saying we are going to see as good as results with ‘zz” but hey for a couple of minutes why not ??
Yeah Cedi is older and has more experience. ZZ is 20. Plus we have Nance, who’d id rather give minutes to.
Nance! Guy needs to start…
Maybe not against Adams. Tt was getting pushed around. Nance is thinner than tt.
But taller and can contest with wingspan at least…
True. But is he taller? Not sure about that.
Great pass by Clarkson to Green!
Adams destroys the Cavs on the offensive boards, but he’s also such a huge body that his picks are brutal…hard to get around them…
Nate on point with the illegal d. No way those guys are getting two feet out of the paint in even 5 sec.
You gotta make those Jeff…
This is still a much better energy then the last one against OKC…

Tough matchup for our undersized centers and love. He is one, big, athletic, brushing dude.
Hill with a really nice play on runs despite what runs thought
Nice lob to tt from hill
Why is Bron shooting techs?
Russell bitched his way into that call. Meanwhile He’s forearming guys on every okay
Play
