Live Thread: Rockets Vs Cavs
2021-02-24UPDATE: Victor Oladipo is starting tonight in his 12th game for the Rockets. P.J. Tucker is also starting.
The Cavs grabbed a last second win against the Hawks less than 24 hours ago. Lamar Stevens, a rookie who probably wouldn’t see the floor for most other teams in the league, caught a pass from Collin Sexton while barreling towards the rim with 4.1 seconds left to play. He finished it with a strong dunk to put the Cavs up 112-11. Stevens had eight points, four rebounds, two assists, and two steals.
Collin Sexton finished the night with 29 points and five assists, while Dylan Windler balled out going 5-5 from 3-land for 15 points along with five assists. The Cavs shot the 3-ball wonderfully in the win going 15-28.
Trae Young went 9-27 for 28 points for the Hawks, and he wonders why he didn’t make the All-Star team. He also had 12 assists. Kevin Huerter went 4-8 from deep for 22 points and grabbed four steals.
The Cavs will look to push the Rockets to their ninth straight loss this evening.
Cleveland is without Kevin Love, Andre Drummond, Matthew Dellavedova, and Larry Nance Jr. as of now. The Rockets are without Christian Wood and Victor Oladipo, Eric Gordon, and P.J. Tucker are questionable.
DG came to play this half. Allen is wearing them out
WHAT A PASS DG!!!!!!!!!!!! ALLEN RUNNING THE FLOOR!!!!
Ice has got to stop passing when he’s WIDE open.

ALLEN FOUND MONEY!!!
Cavs d is awful on the perimeter

And the closeouts are terrible. Like you can either close out or get blown by, but to give up both is bad.
Ankle breaker! Surprised him so much he missed the shot.

HOPING DG COMES BACK STRONG –( LIKE HE DID LAST NIGHT )—NOT A REAL PRODUCTIVE 1ST HALF
Hawks up on Celtics 72-49 at the half….very heartwarming…
we love it!!!
YEAH AGREE ON JB’S ROTATIONS —SEEMED TO TAKE CAVS OUT OF THEIR RHYTHM
JB’s rotation was bad in the 2nd quarter… brought in Stevens and Dotson way too late.
also, Wade played well in the 1st quarter… should’ve brought him in for the 3ball.
Im sorry guys, but Im officially tired of Collin Sexton.
Good, God.
ALLEN IS DOMINATING!!!!!!! PAY THE MAN!!!!
Everyone afraid to shoot
Inevitable House was hitting that 3…
GIVE AND GO STEVENS AND SEXTON!!!
Great break.
GIVE AND GO SEXLAND!!!!!!!!
Finally, Collin.
Jesus. Rock fight. Cavs should be killing them.
NICE SHOT SEXTON!!!!! NEEDED THAT ONE!
Lamar rejection on Wall leads to S3xton!
that was a great defensive play!
Cavs have gone cold, DG wide open, Dotson wide open.
Dumb challenge by Silas.
Dotson’s shooting has regressed to the mean…
that’s a ridiculous overturned call.
Sexton 0-7. Prince 1-8.
Prince just not a good shooter
WOW SOME GREAT PASSING, but might’ve overpassed.
Ya I wouldve rather Stevens shoot that. That was a lot of ‘unneccesary.’
Great play garland.
too much thinking Lamar, let it fly from the corner!
WHAT A POCKET PASS DG!!! WHAT A MOVE ALLEN!!!!! SPINCYCLE!!!!
Caught this guy on right night.

he’s just finding his rhythm… he’d been out a long time.
63-41 Hawks, still a couple of minutes until half…
Lamar, let’s go!!! bring the energy young fella
NICE LOOK DOTSON!!!! ALLEN FINISH!
Allen, lol.. he is just dominating them inside. Meanwhile our on-ball defense is very matador-ish
Sexton, Garland and Dotson on the floor…
Nwaba takes Sexton to the rack.
ALLEN PATIENT IN THE POST!!!
Dotson sighting. Yeah they have no answer whatsoever for Allen
maybe I’d like to see Lamar more than Prince??? is that wrong? Prince after his initial hot start has just been… super meh
Not wrong, IMO. I agree 100%.
TO to get DG back in I’d guess.
Sexton with a LeChuck special from back in the day.
Welp. There goes our 11 point lead.
Sexton & Prince 1-15 FGs.
Collin does so many inconsequential things on offense.
*not meant as a good thing.
Chucker. Tunnel vision. Poor defender.
Best case scenario = Jamal Crawford.
Sexton dribbling around without purpose… 5 point swing.
