Live Thread: Cavs vs. Hawks (take 2)
2018-10-30
Larry Drew makes his debut tonight as the acting interim coach voice of the Cavs. Sam Dekker looks to start at power forward in Kevin Love’s absense again. Look for the Cavs to play hard after being embarrassed by the Hawks last week. And with this being a chance to silence some of the noise, and to get a win before playing the Nuggets and going on the road for two games.
It’s not hard to imagine that Larry Drew is coaching for a contract tonight, and that a bad showing might leave him out in the cold.
Let’s hope he comes through and this team starts playing better basketball.
haha terrible call but we’ll take it
Nice pass by Cedi.

Nice hesitation dribble Sexton! Draws the foul
Nice pass Cedi… Sexton draws the foul
Exact same rotations as last game so far.
There is no coach… just a “voice”
Dekker…what? that was so dumb.
Dekker at least getting in passing lanes on D… creating turnovers
Damn nice pass hood, and nice ball fake cedi but he traveled. Dekker putting in some good minutes!!! Great steal!
No JR… Gilbert should be happy…
Hood still doesn’t seem to ever go north to south.
Just swing the damn ball to the corner, Cedi. You’re trying to do too much.
+1
Now Cedi taking long two’s. Jeeezzzz
Some awful shot selection…
PETE –TOTALLY AGREE—–AM REALLY SURPRISED/ FRUSTARTED WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANTE ——-MAYBE THIS IS DREW’S WAY OF TELLING KOLBY –I WANT A LONG TERM CONTRACT ———-
Too bad Hill just picked up his third…
Gator arms couldn’t score over tiny Trae Young…
Cedi!!!!
FREAKING REBounD ALREADY!
CEDI FINISH!!!
Nobody blocking out…
Cedi goes spin cycle for 2!
Again with the freaking long twos early in the clock.
CEDI SPIN CYCLE!!
Larry Drew should be ashamed of himself for playing TT over Zz.
Nice pass Nance!!! Nice pass dekker!!!
Nice interior pass by Dekker… unfortunately it was to TT… who, as usual had to gather, dribble and give the defense time to block his shot…
Lol yup… If it was anyone else receiving that pass, it’s a great assist.
This season makes no sense. Clarkson shouldn’t play. He is garbage and will never change.
Larry with another brilliant pass.
LOVE Nance’s passing awareness!
LONGINBARDI—WE NEED TO PUT AN —“UE ” ENDING TO HIS NAME SO HE CAN BE FIRED ALSO —-QUICKLY !!!!
I’m watching it closely… and Clarkson is almost always running to the wrong spot on D…
Argh. Sexton gotta get that rebound. Nice foul, Kyle.
Hill has found his his jumper!!!
Hill’s got it going from three… maybe get him more shots?
The Clarkson /Sexton combo just doesn’t work. Drew needs to realize this asap. We also need some Zz.
At least Love will check back in soon… oh wait…
If Clarkson was on my pickup team, I’d punch him in the face.
Nice play Nwaba good situational awareness.
Nwaba with a good pass to trailing Korver… KK just missed it…
Why is it that Nwaba is the only guy who can set up Korver?
Cause he’s the smartest PG we have.
posting up clarkson?!?!
Ridiculous move and pass trae young
Why, Larry?
Dumb shot.
Can’t let Old Man Vince beat you…
are you froggin kidding me Drew? a double team on trae young?
I don’t think it’s intentional.
NWABA!!
PLAY THIS MAN!
The lead was fun while it lasted.
wait WHAT? even with the new rules that didn’t seem like a foul…
Nice pull up j Clarkson
Some total defensive breakdowns on the p/r so far.
Terrible help defense by Clarkson or nwaba
Clarkson…
Communication Breakdown…
SURPRISED/ DISAPPOINTED NO ANTE YET —-OTHERWISE NOT A BAD START
honestly…Trae Young coming in and breaking Klay’s 14 isn’t out of the question right now
Some bad defense by the 2nd unit outside of Sexton.
favorite play of the quarter was the hood cut and nance laser pass for 2. He and dekker are sneaky good cutters from the corners
If only Clarkson remembered he’s playing next to a HOF 3pt shooter.
clarkson is pretty sure HE is a HOF 3 point shooter
Ha 😁😁
I really don’t enjoy watching Clarkson play basketball. Does anyone?
Some times he can be fun to watch. Probably about 25% of the time.
Well… at least Cavs are scoring… still gave up 31, but could have been worse… granted, it IS the Hawks…
yikes. that lead disappeared in less than a minute
It’s what happens when you make no attempt to cover the perimeter…
Great vision and pass Sexton… Nwaba muses the open 3
Man. This Sexton/Clarkson backcourt is a freaking disaster. Just bleeds points.
That was a promising kick out by Sexton… Nwaba almost knocked down the three…
KOrver drive and finish!
Clarkson…no. bad bad bad. you just got stuffed by Jeremy Lin…who just had to relearn how to walk in the summer. just run an offense if there’s no numbers
Nwaba/Korver two man game makes me smile…
Dedmon with a really nice stretch.
Nate Smith All Star…
The only guy the Cavs didn’t fire was the guy I wanted them to fire… LONGABARDI MUST GO!
God I hate “Empty Box” Clarkson
