— Cleveland Charge (@ChargeCLE) March 4, 2020
Really cool video here on Sir’Dominic Pointer, who’s been grinding in the G League for five years before being called up to the Cavs. If you haven’t followed the Charge, they’ve won seven straight and ten in a row at home after a double OT win this afternoon in Canton. Sir’Dominic is one of the team’s leaders, and even though he’s averaging just 12 points, he’s adding 5.7 rebounds, 2 dimes, and 2 steals in 26 minutes a night.
As for Cleveland, They’re limited to 7 guys tonight (10 if you count the G-Leaguers and Pointer) as they are again without Drummond, McKinnie, Exum, Garland, and Thompson. The Celtics will be without Jaelyn Brown, Javonte Green, Gordon Hayward, Kemba Walker, and Robert Williams III. The Celtics’ scrubs are usually the world beaters, so I don’t have a lot of confidence.
Apparently Dean Wade did not play for Canton today while Matt Mooney did, so maybe we’ll see Wade. Cavs hang close, but lose late 115-108 as Marcus Smart does something dumb yet somehow gets rewarded. Hope I’m wrong. Go Cavs.
watchn yt recap.. sexton en fuego.. go young bull.. cavs played well.. i was actually engaged.. looked like they would be humiliated several times, but fought back.. if darla can grow a set worthy of an #5nba pick.. i might even get excited, although my excitement qualifies as NOMAD’s yawns.. if the big vets (drum, tt & luv) decide to put forth a consistent professional effort and dominate the glass, sexton is better than we could have hoped for.. kpj is a work in progress, but looks promising.. darla and windler are currently half and nought, respectively, of nba pros..… Read more »
Anyway, super fun game. If only Delly could shoot.
Yeah with kpj they win that.
love how cols criticizes Tatum’s passing, yet he led his team in assists and definitely closed this one out like a star.
Hell of an effort short handed. Just not quite enough.
Lol. Smart.
LMFAOOOOO i hate laughing about things like that tho
I’m 100% sure he was faking.
I thought so, too. Looked like Love’s hand wasn’t close to his groin. Smart is a huge tool. He really should be booted from the league.
No one deserved it more.
Cavs doing a nice job of extending the game. Much better than I ever saw with Beilein
not enough defense in the first half, not enough offense in the second half…. and even with Sexton, Love, and Nance going off, they might not hit their season average tonight.
highest scoring quarter right now is first quarter with 27 points… that’s just not gonna get it done.
I don’t understand the fouling with a minute left.
Ojeleye walked.
Yep. Looked obvious.
Celtics play good d
top 5 in the NBA
Love has barely touched the ball in the 4th quarter… Sexton should’ve been playing off of him and Nance.
Yeah.
That is why Sexton sucks. Low IQ player. It is like early TT.
He’s 21. There aren’t a ton of high iq 21 year Olds.
Agreed. Just a statement of the now.
TT was awful early and improved. Sexton has, and is, improving. But he is a chucker at heart.
Could use a 3
That’ll do. At least competitive for the entire game. Bad d and execution down the stretch.
awful perimeter defense on that play… Smart just waltzed down the lane.
Sexton hero Ball ain’t the answer
lost his rhythm in the 4th.
Haven’t really stopped their offense. They’ve just had a ton of tovs.
Sexton doing too. Much now.
Dagger three by ojeley
That smart foul was back breaker.
Sexton as the PG in crunch time has been underwhelming.
That was not good. Execution sexton.
they really tried to stop sexton then. Still can’t.
no one touched Smart LMFAOOOO
Smart is a joke
Omg. That was awful.
Tatum best player on the court…. Sexton taking the challenge tho!
Challenge?
God, Smart sucks. Foster just bailed out his trash.
Got way too deep before being cut off tho.
Way too easy. Someone got to step up and help
Whatever happens. This has been a great effort.
Cavs have absolutely locked it down in the 2nd half.
Sort of. Cs 7/13 this qtr. Lots of tovs though, unforced and forced.
Gotta make a post entry when live gets a switch.
LOVE AND1!!!!!
WOW…. what a play Delly, Sexton too hesitant there, shoot the paint floater!!!
Huge delly hustle leading to almost a tov by sexton. Love!!!!
Oh yes! Love and 1!!
Hellovarebound
Nice hustle, Delly!
Tatum just bullied Cedi there.
Can’t stop them save for good plays by nance or mistakes by cs.
Gotta foul harder, cedi.
I’d hate to play pickup with you Nate!
Huge cedi trey
He’s waking up. Time to shoot helps!
Big shot, cedi!
WHAT A PLAY NANCE, You gotta finish that Sexton or drop off to Cedi.
Bwahaha. Tatum had that eyed the whole way. Erased Sexton.
Tatum with a 4 point block.
Ojeyle has it rolling in the fourth
right read Sexton, Delly just missed, maybe delly should’ve drove and kick that.
SEXTON KICK OUT TO CEDI!!! that play never happens before.
Boy that was some brick by delly.
Yeah. He’s got to slow down that release.
Terrible. Had ton of time and space, too.
Delly and cedi just shooting wild.
nice timing Sexton there, Cedi just missed.
What happened to KPJ?
Hit his head against dean wade.
Blech. Thanks guys.
Concussion protocol on an inadvertent Wade elbow.
Thankfully cs a bit sloppy on o.
great cut Sexton, great pass Nance!
Just tuned in a few minutes ago, but Sexton appears to be wearing them out…
Sort of, but we can’t seem to get more than one stop in a row.
Delly doin work against Tatum on d
Sexton still finishing.
Sexton best game?
Probably
no question on offense
a few more assists & it’s certain
Probably near his career high in assists.
Yes.
Yeah just based on efficiency.
Sexton late on the pocket pass, agreed with AC, Zizic should’ve shot that.
Sexton bad pass to Cedi.
Sexton got extremely lucky. Just left his man on d and no one picked him up. Cs didn’t see. Then bad tov.
Sexton needed to hold that for one more bounce.
good team defense WHAT A PASS NANCE!!
Finally cedi breaks the ice from the field. Great passEs by nance and delly
Cedi! 5 big points to start the 4th!
Bad call on the kickball
Cedi finally on the board. Much needed.
Nice pass delly.
I’d sub Pointer for Cedi here some.
i like that idea to see if it’s a defensive spark.
These guys are going to run out of gas in the fourth.
They needed the quarter break for sure.
With Porter out and only Zizic and Wade having played……
