Cleveland will start Cedi Osman at the four. Meanwhile, the Denver lineup will be without Gary Harris and Paul Millsap and the questionable Will Barton appears to be starting. We shall see if the Cavs’ shot selection and time off has helped their spirit, or if they really are the worst team in the association right now.
WHAT A PASS AND CATCH!!! ALLEN DOING WORK!
Great catch and finish. Allen has phenomenal hands tonight.
also a better FT shooter than that other former starting center on the roster
finally the tactic of force feeding inside seems to be paying dividends instead of turnovers
I’ll have 3 points the old fashioned way, please
WHAT A PLAY OSMAN AND ALLEN!!!!! AND1!!!!!!!!
Nice hands on that tough catch by Allen. And 1.
Lol. Osman wide open for half the shot clock. They finally get it to him too late but bailed out by a bad foul.
yup, ball stuck to Sexton on the swing, ruined the rhythm of the play.
Nice sequence there. And Okoro finally gets a back door cut
Sexton MOVE THE DAMN BALL TO CEDI ON TIME!!!!!
Great cut and pass the iceman.
Allen gotta pass out of that
HOLY SHIT WHAT A PASS GARLAND!!! GREAT CUT OKORO!
GREAT DEFENSE CEDI!!!
Allen’s gotta find the kickout he was triple teamed.
jokic cruising to a triple double.
nice defense for once Sexton!!!
Malone is getting worried, timeout, we have them right where we want them! (Down by 16, with aspirations to lose by 8).
good hustle Okoro!!!! Starters showing a little fight!
CEDI GIVE AND GO FOR THREE!!!
oh my god that was ugly from Okoro.
SHOOT THE THREE SEXTON !!!! c’mon!!!
I think he was trying to feed Allen instead, but yes, needs to pull the trigger there
that’s definitely what he was trying to do, but that’s not his role and has to pull the trigger there.
Sexton can’t find Allen on the roll, but makes the tough shot.
CEDI FOR THREE!
Allen gotten schooled twice now by Jokic.
what was that shot DG????
great team passing!!!

yeah that article was an embarrassing piece of team propaganda, and he’s obviously reading the threads on here with his ridiculous Bridges comp LMFAOOOO
The most revealing thing tho is the Cavs’ admitting they don’t care about impact stats and are relying on the “eye test” LMFAOOOOOO
well said Nate! tonight Austin Carr said “Cavs culture” also means…something not about scoring more points than the other team
SO WHO DO YOU THINK WE EVENTUALLY TRADE DRE TO AND FOR WHOM —-WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRADE TO / FOR
rather trade Sexton and keep Dre.
A bag of peanuts? I’ll be seriously shocked if anything comes back
AGREE CLF ICE’S SHOT LOOKED RATHER PURE TONIGHT —LET’S HOPE THAT IS A CONSISTENT IMPROVEMEMT GOING FORWARD
ALREADY BROKE MY 1ST LENTEN RESOLUTION OF “BEING MORE POSITIVE WITH THE CAVS ” OH WELL SH-T HAPPENS ——-GO BACK TO MY 2ND RESOLUTION ” DRINK MORE BEER ” AND EAT MORE ” PACKZI ‘S “
LMFAOOOOOOOOO we’re human NOMAD!!! Dotson and Windler have looked nice!!! Okoro too! DG scoring a little bit and playing some good defense!
Allen too
Okoro’s shot looks smooth tonight, and now he’s looking to shoot, which is a major mental hurdle he had to overcome.
Yeah, still gotta attack when he beats first wave of defenders. Been terrible about that.
Congrats to the Cavs for not fouling Jokic on final posession and therefore ensuring they would not again give up 70 in the half! #smallvictories
Murray and MPJ just murdering Okoro and Sexton.
NICE DEFENSE DG< REBOUND THE DAMN BALL OKORO!!!!!
OKORO READY TO SHOOT!!!! NEEEDED THAT!
DG just passed up a wide open 3 and ruined the possession.
SOOOO TRUE CLF –( ON ALLEN )
WOW, Windler wide open just missed, didn’t like that shot from DG, attack and kick!!!
AGREE MIKEO—-IT’SNOT “IF ” IT IS WHEN WINDL3R GET’S HIS SHOT—-YEP HAVE YHOSE MEMORIES OF ‘MIGHTY JOE ” STRUGGLES WITH THE 3 FIRST FEW YRS ——BY THE WAY J.B. PUT WINDL3R BACK IN THERE
Not a good sign that Jokic impact has been minimal and Cavs still down 15
disagree his impact has been minimal, 6 rebounds 6 assists already… he just hasn’t had to work for anything.
+14 already in one freaking half.
Hope Windler is taking notes on Porter Jr.
that would be awesome.
Like growing three I ches and getting longer arms?
he meant his game obviously LMFAOOOO
Sexton gets bailed out in the falling down around the shorter guard. ouch ouch ouch on the Murray 3. Allen looking good anyway
Allen was born to be a perfect fit on this team. He’d be a perfect fir on quite a few teams. The Nets, for example.
LMFAOOOO i love how they just gave up the next Rudy Gobert for virtually nothing LMFAOOOO
Sexton bobbles a perfect pass, WAKE UP SEXTON!!!!
Great board, JA
ALLEN WITH THE HUSTLE!!!! NICE TEAM PASSING!
Sexton holds onto the ball too long, he sucks at passing in rhythm.
Bickerstaff stealth tank technical TM
LMFAOOOOOOOO for sure
Damn, that campazzo pass was sweet. The Allen du k was sweeter.
nice pass Sexton, needs to see DG filling the space at the top of the key though.
more 3s and some foul line traction would be nice
SEXTON POCKET PASS!!!!
Denny green…. not an NBA coach
FLOP
Just dunk it. Come on.
Yikes Ike
I hate those home run passes, seem like they result in turnovers more than not.
GARLAND WHAT A STEAL!!!!!
OKORO WHAT ARE YOU DOING???
Okoro responsible for 6 point swing that sequence.
DG WITH THE OFF BALL ACTION!!!! LOOKING LIKE CURRY OUT THERE!
Nice three, DG! Smooth.
more of those, please! then a nice steal on the defensive end
c’mon Sexton… that’s a bad turnover.
Garland back in, immediately has to deal with Jokic
DOTSON AND WINDLER PASSING!!!
Any bets on McGee splashing a 3 or having a full-court breakaway dunk in this game? Nice ball movement on the Sexton three
That flagrant was garbage. But I did get to see porter fall on his butt so it was worth it.
Replays make the game so exciting. More replays please.
*replay reviews
They’re FAN-TASTIC!
GOOD GAME PLAN BW
Mcgee gonna get a reputation flagrant here.
ridiculous call…. one of the softest flagrants i’ve ever seen.
why the hell are we reviewing this?????????
Just looked like a hard foul to me
AGREE CLF WINL3R HAS A KNACK FOR THE BALL / REB’S ——JUST CAN’T WAIT UNTIL THAT 3 BALL STARTS TO DROP
+1 NOMAD! well said
I’m inclined to give young good shooters time to put it together. Remember how Joe Harris’s shot looked when he was a Cav?
Windler can’t make a shot, but has 3 rebounds and 2 assists, +2 plus/minus
He’ll get there. Already a better player than Wade.
Sexton gets a couple dunks and finds his j.
