Live Thread: Cavs @ Pacers
2020-12-31Weird Thursday afternoon vibes for the Cavs as they see if the Cavs can bounce back from a tough loss to the Knicks. Exum gets the start at the three, thankfully moving Cedi back to the bench after a stinker in the Big Apple. MIA: Okoro, KPJ, Windler, Love, Delly. Look for Dotson to get more run and more shots this afternoon.
For Indy, no TJ Warren, but it’s not as if they need him with Brogdon, Dipo, and Sabonis averaging over 20 a night and Myles Turner being no slouch either. Aaron Holiday joins them in the starting lineup. Hoping for better shooting and that Drummond keeps beasting. Go Cavs!
Where was the foul?
WHAT A FINISH SEXTON!
DG TO NANCE!!!!!! They need to be the offense!
Bad foul. Gotta let that go.
C’mon Drummond you gotta finish that play!!!
Yeah. Rough miss.
Sweet finish
WHAT A FINISH GARLAND WITH THE ENGLISH!
I don’t know how you can guard Sabonis when he gets unlimited steps on spin moves and can just throw his shoulder into you when you’re set.
NICE PASS DRUMMOND TO NANCE!
DG TO NANCE FOR THREE!!!!
GARLAND FOR THREEE!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW CLUTCH SHOT
Dotson wide open just missed.
DANG IT DG MAKE THE EASY PASS….
Ok! Cavs play starters against the bench to get back in it.
GARLAND FOR THREE!!!!!!! DOWN TO 12!
NANCE IS ABSOLUTELY BALLING!!!
SEXLAND!!! C”MON!!!!
Drummond bad decision, Sexton bad execution… leads to a turnover.
Great feed Sexton.
nice make Dotson maybe that gets him going.
plus/minus tells the story…. Garland and the bench have just been awful.
Disagree. Think Garland’s been fine.
Sexton tried to go two for one at the end of that quarter and instead took a horrible shot with 22 seconds on game clock. Gotta be smarter.
Cavs are missing two of their best passers on the team in Okoro and Love… can’t be running the same offense without them.
Maker has suck a weak lower body. He’s such an easy mark Sabonis.
Yeah, just a terrible matchup. I think the Cavs match up pretty badly across the board with this Pacers team. And the injuries just make it worse, of course.
And officiating. That third was garbage.
JB and the coaching staff inability to adjust offensive strategy due to injury is obvious in this game IMO.
Sabonis gets away with another travel.
So many horse s**t calls this quarter.
Cedi no man’s land on the weakside defense.
Finally a call for Cleveland.
bad DG game…. Sabonis money in the post.
These refs are ridiculous.
OMG. that was a flop by Sabonis.
awful call ref, nothing there.
Dot had the step and lost the ball
Drummond can’t finish from the post
Ugh. Can’t buy a call.
SCREW “The National Desk” Sinclair Broadcasting BS.
Sweet feed Drummond to Larry.
NANCE FINISH!
Looked like the hammy was bothering Sexton after he almost got that steal. Hope that’s nothing.
he pulled it for sure.
Probably so. He kept grabbing it after that run for the steal.
Now on the bench.
Sexton heating up!!!
nice steal Drummond!
GLAD TO C DIPPO HEALTHY AGAIN
OMG Pacers traveling on every play
Dipo definitely looking more like pre quad injury Dipo.
bad pass DG, 5 point swing on that turnover.
KEEP IT CLOSE CAVS

Nice passing…. Sexton, Nance… nice cut Dre!
nice hustle Sexton…… but he might’ve just tweaked his hamstring
Sabonis took six steps after that almost Garland steal.
Sabonis is so good in the post.
Drummond got wrecked there in the paint by Turner.
Yeah
Gotta get into his body and throw in some pump fakes.
Might try some Dotson minutes over cedi minutes here.
need both of them to produce really…. and Exum starting really hurts their playmaking abilities further.
And he can’t shoot.
NOT GETTING A WHOLE LOT FROM DOTSON / WADE / CEDI ——HOPEFULLY CHANGES 2ND HALF ———-REALLY MISSING ICE THE LAST 2 GAMES // ALLOWS ALOT MORE DIFFERENT ROTATIONS / SUBBING
yup… they’re missing Nance in the 2nd unit, and Okoro in the 1st unit.
CEDI IN 2 GAME RUT 😡
LMAO 🤪🤪
Maker gives em a good two minutes to help close the quarter strong aside from that bad end of quarter d for a sobonis layup.
STEPPED OUT FOR A MINUTE—- “ LE” THON SIGHTING 👍😋
(youngbull)
better 2nd quarter, we gotta game!!!
Couldn’t join until mid 2nd quarter, I figured this would be a tough matchup for the Cav guards. Still, close enough at the half after that Sexton prayer. How the heck did Javale get four fouls?!
SEXTON BAIL OUT THREE!!!
Maker gotta catch the pass
Maker again!
nice pass DG, but might’ve gone with open Nance for the three
Tricky finish, Collin!
LeThon!
Cedi not good, Sexton nice finish
Seems like he’s pressing a bit.
THON MAKER WHAT A MOVE!!!
Might maybe could’ve been a travel
Well this should be interesting
