Live Thread: Cavs vs. Nets (#Let’sPlayTwo)
2021-01-22Greetings from Bucharest CtB! Given the time difference, I was only able to see the tail end of the Collin Sexton NBA Jam Experience, but WOW! What a show!
Tonight, we’ll see if the Young Bull can pull off a repeat performance as part of the NBA’s new tribute to Ernie Banks of teams playing back-to-back games in one city tips off. He should have an even easier time getting his shots off as Kevin Durant won’t play in this one.
The Nets still have plenty of firepower with James Harden and Kyrie Irving, yet Durant was the primary reason Brooklyn was even able to stay in the first installment on Wednesday. If the Cavs can once again dominate the Nets with their waves of giant bodies, offset by their rising superstar scoring guard… it might be a long night for Steve Nash and Co.
Catch all the action starting at 7:30pm EST on Fox Sports Ohio, and as always… chime in with your thoughts below!
LET’S GO CAVS!
Three straight bad possessions let Nets right back into the game…
Man Drummond refuses to learn. I mean, we know that. But blahhhhh
Dude’s gotta go… you don’t re-learn things 8 seasons in…
He’s not far from a really, really good player…but at this point, he is what he is…a good player with limitations…
Cedi rushing his shot tonight… not getting back on D
GD it another dribble drive Dre, another dumb play.
4 pt turnaround. smh.
Oh thank god… Jarrett is back
OMG YOU HAVE TO FINISH THAT DRUMMOND LMFAOOOo
Take Andre out please JB…
EG is JB’s burner acct confirmed.
Ugh… gotta take a better shot there Dre…
WHAT A PASS DRUMMOND!!!!! NANCE SUPERMAN!!!
WOW! What a sequence! GT couldn’t BELIEVE that wasn’t goaltending LOL
BIG MAN OOOP!!!!
Nitpick… I’d rather see LNJ as the inbounder instead of Cedi…
good call.
HAVEN’T SEEN DRE TAKE TOO MANY WILD SHOTS TONIGHT —THINK / HOPED HE LEARNED FROM THE OTHER NIGHT —-PLAY WITHIN THE SYSTEM OR YOUR MINUTES WILL BE REDUCED
you spoke too soon NOMAD lol
Rotations are gonna be interesting, hope we can build some continuity with everyone getting back healthy
Honestly feels like they’re gonna have to move on from Drummond if they can find a solid trade for him… Jarrett Allen is the future… and the future is BRIGHT
“DITTO” EVIL ON JB AS OUR COACH
nice two man DG and Drummond…. great finish Dre!
God, when healthy, this is one of the more fun teams in the league…Allen puts them over the top…
Windler and Prince are pretty awesome infusions on the wing also…
yup… throw Love in the mix with these guys…. his shooting and rebounding,
DG HAS TO ‘FEEL ” THAT BIG GUY ON HIM —MAKE THE PASS
Gotta shoot the glass there DG… DeAndre can’t do much anymore… but he can still block floaters into the fifth row…
DG has the luxury of some great finishing big men now… love it
what a read Okoro, anticipation>>>>>>>>>>>.
Can’t stress enough how impressed I am with JB… perfect coach for this young team
hope he’s our belichick… finally growing into his own.
DG from Iceman! Great pass!!
BALL MOVEMENT!!!
Gotta clean up that D, cant allow a layup on a inbound play
Lol… LNJ doing his best Steph impression there… maybe a bit too confident
honestly a welcome sight given how hesitatnt he can be.
Is it too early to perhaps suggest…..the Cavs are a problem??
Starting to look that way…
NANCE WITH THE HUSTLE!!!!!
That was like four second chance opportunites there!
Look at this team fight!
Absolutely destroying the O boards
SIGN ALLEN LONG TERM RIGHT NOW—–THIS TEAM IS SOOOO MUCH FUN TO WATCH
Co-sign!
Sexton forcing things that time… shoulda passed out
yeah or maybe had the Dre Lob there.
Yeah, that looked like old Sexton…
That 2 on Kyrie? Get him in foul trouble & they’ll have to lean on the beard.
Banking hours open for C3DI!
THE KISS!!!! *Raftery voice*
Luck is a fortune
SEXTON MONEYYYYYYYYY
SEXTON!!
Have Allen and Drummond played together? I think you could play them two and see.
i hope not LMFAOOO only in defense only situations.
I can see them working good together down low.
two non-shooters these days is recipe for disaster IMO teams can pack the paint.
They could still do an Ultimate Brute Squad lineup of Drummond, Allen, JaVale, Larry and Cedi…
don’t give JB ideas EG!!!! LMFAOOOOOOO
AC is right… Allen’s hands are great
Opposite of Drummond on offense…
“Don’t reach young blood” – Uncle Drew
He should practice what he preaches lol
Poor Joe Harris will not want a copy of that poster lol…
ANOTHER SEXTON PICK AND ROLL ANDOTHER GREAT PASS ANOTHER ALLEN HAMMER!!!!
ALLEN WITH THE HOOK@@@!!!
Jarrett Allen WILL NOT BE STOPPED!!!
HOLY F&#K
OMG ALLLLLLEN
Jarrett F. Allen.
OH MY GOD SEXTON PICK AND ROLLL GREAT PASSS ALLEN POSTER!!!!!!!!
WHAT the WHAT????
JARETT FREAKING ALLEN!!!!
WOW WE ARE RIGHT IN THIS GAME AND CEDI HASN’T SCORED A POINT
Woof… Perry shouldn’t shoot those
WINDLER THREEE!!!!!!!!!!
WINDLER!!!
Horrible shit by Cedi.
Shot
Same diff lol
A little sloppy but they’re making the right reads.
Tough miss for Ike… liked the decisiveness on the shot though…
wow, halfway in.
Not Cedi’s strongest move.
Up 1 after 1. I will take that. We are playing 10 guys!
Cavs score 34 in the first Q and I don’t even get the feeling they were doing anything that crazy. Just taking what the D gives them and making smart plays
yup, just flowing really
Nets have very little D with Durant missing…
EVEN THOUGH HE MIGHT NOT BLOCK THE SHOT –ALLEN DOES A GREAT JOB OF ‘ALTERING ‘ SHOTS —-NBA SHOULD HAVE A STAT FOR THAT
Garland trying to do too much by himself. He needs to stop that.
WOW, thankfullly we have a full 10 man rotation tonight… that’s a relief!!!
Part of that rough perimeter D was a direct result of Okoro picking up his second foul…
yup… i agree.
I feel faint at the thought of having Allen long term…Nets were morons to lose him…
they’re definitely sad to lose him.
MAN WITH ALLEN’S HAIR HE SHOULD BE LISTED AROUND 7″ 5″
Like in Fletch…
Looking bigger can mess with guys. I love it.

DG a bit of a rough patch there…. rustiness getting knocked off.
DG DOING HIS DRE IMITATION—-TOO MUCH DRIBBLING
The Golden Turd just hit a giant fan!
DG’s outside shot looking rusty. Understandably.
Gotta close out on shooters there though…
To go from watching TT always bring the ball down before going back up to seeing Jarrett Allen’s straight up put backs is a treat I didn’t expect this season…
Drummond and Allen are both upgrades from TT. On both ends of the court. Though I do love TT.
Love what Koby has done to put the “trees” around Sexland..
