Live Thread: Cavs vs. Hawks (#GoingForThree)
2019-12-23Quick thread post because I completely forgot about it in the midst of last minute holiday shopping…
Cavs go for their third straight win for the first time this season, as they take on the sliding Hawks… losers of seven straight. Atlanta gets back PF John Collins tonight, following his 25 game suspension for violating the NBA’s drug policy. Before his absence, the Hawks had gone 2-3, but only 2-18 since.
The Cavs will be without Larry Nance, Jr. who is out with knee soreness.
Even though Collins usually has big games against the wine & gold, I’ll stay positive in my prediction and say the Cavs win a holiday barn-burner by three… 129-126 to win their third in a row.
Catch all the action starting at 7pm EST on FSO… and as always, sound off here with all your Cavs takes and yuletide joy…
GREAT play by Sexland!
COMING IN LATE ALSO —–HOLIDAY SEASONS —–WOW –HOPE I DON’T JINX THEM—GO CAVS
Way to just walk down the floor TT…
Love with a pair of TOs.
Soooo many turnovers…
Cavs never win a game, the other teams just run out of time.
But nice that they can generate a lead that can be whittled away… ?
We are trying to make this interesting.
C’mon Sexton, bad sequence.
Cavs given up 29 points on turnovers…
It’s been ridiculous…if they can clean that crap up they will be competitive with better teams…

Cedi gliding thru the air!!!

Hawks have stopped playing D…

Garland & KPJ instrumental in this run.
Good to see.
Bet those two are on the next Cavs playoff team…as starters…
That’s a nice vision
KPJ hotter than David Woods in his long underwear
Ha haaaa!
KPJ WITH A RIDICULOUS FINISH!!!!
OHH MY GOSH GARLAND!!!
This game is so much fun!
These young guys!!!
Garland a quiet 19…and good god, KPJ…
Funny how before the season people were saying how the Hawks would be a must see League Pass team…they just suck….(yeah, I know the Cavs do, too, but they were never talked up as a league pass darling…)
Collins getting hit with that suspension really messed their season up.
And he’s clearly still on the juice…
LMFAO
Agree, it hurt, but that team is built on Trae taking a zillion bad shots a game and losing almost every night…
GARLAND UP AND UNDER IN THE POST!!!
Knight has had a pretty rough night, gonna take a game or two to find rhythm.
Porter got a hand on that one too!
GIVE AND GO KPJ AND TT!!!
KPJ going to be the steal of the 2019 draft. He’ll unfortunately probably be so damn good we won’t be able to keep him.
Who else they gonna pay?
They have him for a good while…I think he’ll in retrospect be a top 10 player from that draft…so it’s fair he was talked up as a lottery pick…
Sexton and Garland would rock in a 6’2” and under league.
Porter hit the brakes and they flew right by…
GARLAND!
huge 3!!!
18 turnovers…oof…
That KPJ finish earlier…

Cedi with the interception…
Almost another one… just rimmed out…
Porter is going to be so good…as long as he keeps at it…
KPJ 3!!
So K3J?
Wait… it’s tied at 94…
TO bug bit us a bit that quarter. Still only down 1.
Yeah, 7 TOs yikes…
KPJ!!!! DEFENSE AND OFFENSE!
KPJ you filthy thing
Porter has some serious skills… can’t wait to see him develop more…
K.P.J!
OMG…KPJ!
Henson with a terrific block!
Think that’s 3 offensive fouls Delly has drawn tonight…
Delly drawing the foul!
awful call…. wtf refs no one paid to see u
John Collins… juicing the ball
Sexton’s starting to get to the rim at will with that speed!
Nice flop attempt, Trae…
Too funny
Pretty awful ball protection this quarter…
Young Bull And One!

Sexton’s floater is money.
GREAT play by KPJ dish for the Henson Jam!
Anticipated the help defender, perfect pass eye level to the big man!
Man, Porter is a smart player…
Love just gets inexplicably owned by Vince…
Way to leave Vince open…
yeah that was awful.
As much as I hate the mid range floater as a shot, Hawks don’t seem to be able to stop it. Garland and Sexton could really dine out here.
Sexton floater!
