Live Thread: Cavs vs Jazz
2020-03-02This feels like a “let’s empty the end of the bench” loss. TT, Drummond, Garland, McKinnie, and Exum are all out, while the Cavs while only Nigel Williams-Goss is out for the Jazz. Utah, meanwhile, desperately needs a win as has shaken up their lineup moving Royce O’Neal into the starting lineup and benching Joe Ingles. The Cavs will have Matt Mooney and Dean Wade from the Charge. We’ll see what happens. Go Cavs.
Offense wasn’t the problem tonight… Love and Sexton went off… it’s this team’s refusal to play professional defense.
Gobert destroyed them on both ends. Defensively he owned the paint and had two five-point blocks (layup block led to a three). His finishing ability destroyed Cleveland in the first half and then bent the defense so far inside that Utah had wide open three point shooters all game.
A lot of the bending the d was cavs just being bad on the perimeter. If a guy on the perimeter is able to break down the d in darn near every situation, including in isolation, your defense completely crumbles.
yup, that was Bogdonavic, Conley, Mitchell, Ingles…. all night long.
Both things are true.
Lol left corner three
Gobert with another block.
KPJ PRAYER 3!
Cavs destroyed by corner triples tonight
LMFAOOOOOOOOOO Ingles left wide open for 3… 40% shooter IIRC
nice pass Sexton to LNJ for the finish
Gobert so unbelievably coordinated for his size
looks better than ever
Fire sergey karasev into the sun
LMFAOOOOO YES!
Cavs defense tonight absolutely pitiful…. Utah 57% from the field, 47% from 3, 29 assists on 13 TOs.
Bogdonavic and Gobert >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I like watching this Jazz team play – just a solid collection of players. Hopefully Mitchell can up his game in the playoffs, they’re gonna be a tough out.
Not enough guys who can create their own shot (Mitchell and Clarkson). Go long stretches without scoring. Conley washed. I’d like them to be better but they’re a first round out.
Conley and Ingles can run an offense though, even if they’re not getting a shot for themselves. Most likely will be playing the Rockets in the first round and I’d def give them a chance against Golden Turd.
As long as they are playing a team NOT from LA, I like their chances.
LMFAOOOO no one can make a post entry pass, Sexton finally realizes it’s a bad idea to launch a midrange jumper on Gobert whilst in the air.
5 point block by gobert
What a dumb play, cedi.
Why, cedi?
Trying to do too much.
Porter swat!
Nice move, love.
Good hustle sexton to get the long board
NICE HUSTLE CEDI!!!! RAGE TIMEOUT!
Cavs hustling! Great energy!
Cavs trying to make their run
Sextons jumper just smooth as butter
Yeah, just unfortunate every offensive player cuts through his defense like a hot knife thru butter.
Average defense would turn him into the 2nd best player on the team.
I am not holding my breath while waiting for that to happen just based on his physical attributes.
smart move lmfaooooo right now Sexton’s Trae Young without the passing.
WOW, KPJ’s head almost hit the backboard!!!
KP’s Jimmies hurt.
Boy guys have taken some hard falls tonight
WOW, that was a massive collision between Bradley and Porter.
DELLY TO NANCE!!! WHAT A PRETTY PLAY!
KPJ just got worked on defense by Conley… great play Conley tho.
CEDI THREE!!!
At least they scrambled on defense that possession.
JC putting Cleveland to sleep
Also btw. Not sure if anyone noticed this and I forgot about it, but Cedi got five holed by Bogdan for an assist on a layup in the first qtr. Embarrassing.
yes, that’s what my “BOGDONAVIC WHAT A PASS” meant LMFAOOO
Ha. I laughed out loud when I saw that play.
Conley cold blooded three at the end of qtr. Huge shot to kill any cavs momentum.
sticking it to the OSU crowd LOL
Old. Man triple by Conley. Gotta make him a driver there.
Nance ready to shoot that time!
Larry!
Sexton prayer 3 answer!
Sexton gunning his way to another player of the week nomination.
lucky Conley missed, but that’s just pathetic defense from Sexton.
Classic JC triple from the corner.
nice take cedi…. CLARKSON RIDICULOUS SHOT!
Wow Lamond Murray. Flash from the past. Was fond of those Murray, Wes Person, Andre Miller teams.
Cavs fading. Going away from love was a mistake…
God’s own widows peak giving the Cavs some solid minutes.
nice pass Sexton.
LMFAOOOOo awful defense KPJ, no help from anyone.
Nobody even in the paint lmao
Yup
Zz
Sexton getting sonned by Mitchell
KPJ sacrificing his body on that play… that takes some toughness.
Great acting job by kpj on that gobert non foul. Still somehow in this.
That was thin. Jesus. And a blatant double dribble by Bogey
WOW AWFUL CALL REF…..
Wish we had gotten to see Windler this year
yup, looked so enticing in Summer League.
nice hands Sexton… need to see that way more often.
Dumb foul Ingles with Cavs in bonus.
NICE CUT AND FINISH KPJ!!! GREAT PASS DELLY!
KPJYD!
Love red hot then doesn’t touch the ball twice in a row after stoppage.
Love and Bickerstaff clearly going at it
Arguing?
yup, Love was clearly upset about something on defense two possessions in a row.
I’d have a hard time not rolling my eyes at kev.
If it was Bickerstaff telling him to guard Bogdonavic, i’m gonna side with Love.
DO LIKE THE ASSIST 17 TO T.O. 5—-BUT GETTING HAMMERED ON THE BOARDS
So many Cavs bodies piled up in that left corner. They’re killing them from there.
Good play call… got LNJ the foul
LOVE IS ON FIRE KEEP FEEDING HIM!!!
Need some stops but they got no answer for Rudy. But a couple Love triples give them hope.
EVERYBODY STANDING AROUND ON DEFENSE LMFAOOOo
SEQUEL TO THE “3RD QTR WOES ” HAS RETURNED
nice pass KPJ x2
Gross possession by Sexton that gets them a bucket.
KPJ with a sloppy pass, LNJ still bails him out.
If Nance isn’t going to shoot, move him closer to the bucket.
LMFAOOOOOO Mitchell just owned Cedi with the exact same move and shot!!!
Hand down..man down by the cabs twice in a row on Mitchell in the corner.Just bad individual d.
