Live Thread: Cavs vs Knicks
2021-01-15Cleveland welcomes the Knickerbockers tonight for the fourth game (including preseason) these two teams have played since December. Cleveland has a hefty injury list, but given that their two games against Washington this weekend were canceled, this might be the last time for a while that we have to deal with a woefully incomplete roster.
Frank Ntilikina and Alec Burks are put for New York while the list is as follow for Cleveland, with Jarrett Allen and Taurean Prince also out due to having not cleared their physicals. The good news is that Andre should play.
16-0 Knicks run.
JB deciding to bench Wade and roll with 7, and McGee sucks tonight (-17 plus/minus)
bad decision there by Okoro, passed up open 3 for contested floater. All the perimeter guys gotta stop that.
Dunno how confident/consistent he is with that trey. But yeah probably should have kicked it out after getting halted.
okoro quietly having a great game.
Drummond will need to play the entire 4th…
Probably yes.
Blew a 12 pt lead in last 3 minutes.
Still in it with a chance to win it.
Oof dotson wearing out the rims
Quick turnaround by the knicks. Cavs struggling to manufacture offense with ced and dre out.
Offense struggling without Cedi and Drummond dump offs
Dotson woof
Just tuning in – hoping for a fun 4th!
Damn mcgee. Reverse poster by noel
Dotson struggling tonight.
Probably his worst game as a Cav…getting too many minutes, but understandable…
WOW, Noel what a block, but what a fall
Good to
Game getting a little ragged in a bad way.
Agreed. Can’t get to high. Have to maintain focus
Noel is so good, 5 blocks tonight, +10 off the bench for the Knicks
Cedi off balance there. Sort of a gimme.
Great recovery and block by nance
My eyes roll out of my head every time Randle hits a 3. Takes me 5 minutes to put them back in. :/
Cedi is having not just a jekyll half, but a jekyll game.
WHAT A SEQUENCE!!!
Cedi with 23 points!!!! 10 straight now!!! NANCE REJECTION!!!!
Damn. Cedi killing it.
Good d by okoro on quickly and by nance on barrett
DRUMMOND PASSING!!!! CEDI WHAT A FINISH!
Okoro bad turnover, work on the handles young man!!!
TWO MAN GAME OKORO AND CEDI!!!!!!
Osman got hatcheted on that triple.
Osman still hot.
Osman getting so good at that diagonal drive cuz Dre takes up so much space.
WHAT A SAVE AND PASS STEVENS!!! GREAT HUSTLE DRUMMOND! CEDI FOR THREE!!!
That was ridicous!
(the Cavs could trade Allen)
Fits better with the timeline, but both are probably going to make some money this offseason. RFA maybe helps deter teams.
When Drumm is playing like an MVP I consider it.
LMFAO no
Dre is now 8-14!!! two shots above .500!!!
Dre earning some money from some team if he plays like this.
Contract year Dre is Shaq lite…
Drumm is so good tonight on the block.
DRUMMOND BULLY BALL!!!!!! way to take it strong to the glass!
Lol
Nance intercepts the Drummond pass for a dunk.
DRUMMOND TO NANCE!!!!!!!!
Accidentally but I’ll take it
Another ridiculous Okoro steal leads to a Dotson banker.
DOTSON KISS!!!
Great feed ice to Drumm.
Dre drawing all kinds of fouls
Good feed dre. Good pin dre
Good feed okoro
great read Okoro!!! Drummond nice seal and layup!
Larry made that finish harder than it needed to be.
oh man, Nance almost a crazy finish.
Thought Dotson got fouled but wasn’t a great shot.
damn, Dotson gotta finish that.
What a dime.
nice find Nance, Dotson just missed
What a pass by nance!
OKORO FINISH!
This was such a sweet play.

Cedi needs to come out early and shoot. Stay warm and in a groove. No Mr. Hyde in the second half por favor.
Good thing they are a bit rested because starters are playing big minutes tonight.
As they should. We have some time off after this one. Save for Drummond, who has a knock and a competent backup, all the starters should be playing 36-40 minutes tonight.
Let’s get a win. Conceivably, we could get 5 guys back before we play again: Allen, Prince, Sexton, Garland, & Windler.
Can only hope.
Drummond with 20-14, ridiculous.
8-11 on FTs.
40/30 would be crazy.
Ice cutter.
Dre & Cedi & LNJ carrying the O. We were up 5 with the ball twice late, but end up only up 2 (missed 3 + TO).
Still up 2. Still fantastic effory.
Cedi +13 to end the half, might be one of his best stretches as a pro.
Stevens big off the bench with 3 assists and only positive plus/minus from the bench.
What bench? 8 guys have played. We need people to gt healthy asap
Pretty amazing half for the Cavs considering how undermanned they are…
huge indictment against the Knicks, as lowly as they are.
They aren’t the worst team in the east. Tied with us for 9th.
NICE DRIVE AND DISH DOTSON! OKORO CUT AND FINISH!
Ugh. Dot. Sloppy.
Okoro wide open, he hesitated.
Also could say Nance passed up an open 3.
Eh, nance needs a minute to wind up that shot. Not exactly quick release.
Bizarro fouls tonight.
Let’s close strong. Great steal Okoro.
Cedi +12 far above everybody else, he’s the whole offense really, besides Drummond’s ability to draw fouls and FTs
Hitting his open shots tonight
and passing well, 3 assists.
Him, and Dotson, and Stevens. Moving the ball well. Nance and Dre have had a few potential assists as well
He’s finishing tonight.
Javale got a LATE whistle.
Good hands mcgee
Whistles blowing now.
