Live Thread: Cavs @ Rockets
2021-03-01#Cavs J.B. Bickerstaff said his expectation is for Cedi Osman to play tonight. Osman was listed on the injury report with low back spasms. He went through shootaround this morning.
Taurean Prince (left ankle soreness) was listed on the injury report as out tonight.

From what I gather, Oladipo and Wall are playing and Gordon, Kurucs, and Wood are out. Same starting lineup for Cleveland . Should be an interesting one. Let’s see if they can win four straight. Go Cavs!
WOW, Jones with a prayer.
Okoro wide open, but no arch on that shot.
Bad look at that time.
Arc. Not arch. Sorry, pet peeve.
Cavs bench should be dominating.
yup, Windler and Stevens pairing struggling a bit tonight.
Cedi! Nice to see.
GREAT TEAM DEFENSE!!! LETS GO MAKE THE MOVE!
CEDI GREAT CUT AND SHOT!!!!!!
Gawd awful d on Tucker who gets a layup. Then flops his way into a call next time down. You should never ever bite on a Tucker pump fake unless he’s in the corner.
what a ticky tack call.
Ugh, Javale cheapo foul..,
I think Houston’s really collapsing the paint on Allen to prevent the lob. Gotta find the kickouts and guys gotta shoot them.
CASE IN POINT!!!! SEXTON WIDE OPEN 3!!!!
Nice recovery last couple minutes. Aside from Allen joing the TO race. Agree with Nate, result of ignoring him for 2 quarters.
Allen turns it over after they ignore him for six straight minutes, because of course.
Nice answer, Cleveland. Hope dg is OK.
He is a key player.
DG WITH THE DRIVE AND FINISH!!!
Uh oh, he came up limping….. don’t like that.
AC babbling about dribbling into threes when they specifically ran a set for Garland to get a open catch and shoot three that he airballed.
WOAH Allen chill out LMFAOOOOO
Ignoring the advantage inside.
WADE FOR THREE THAT WAS CLUTCH!!!!
LOOK AT WADES DEFENSE!!!! STELLAR!!!!!!
He almost never leaves his feet early. And guys usually don’t go by him.
yup, love it!
TO race: Dipo 6, DG 5, YB 4.
Jesus, they’re cold. Bring in Windler.
WOW, what’s going on with DGs 3 point shot???
Pass. The. Ball. To. The. Center.
two wide open 3s passed up by Wade and Okoro.
DG NICE TAKE!
ANOTHER TO!
Sexton bad TO, just a tick too late, had Wade wide open for 3.
NICE DEFENSE WADE!
Wade is a really solid and smart defender.
He really is… great feet and smart.
Sexton nice take!
Lol. U see Garland fake wall out of his shoes?

ouch
Garland got the memo.
yeah, got up only 4 shots in the first half, unacceptable for him really.
GREAT PASS SEXTON!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okoro and Sexton hammered on consecutive plays
agreed, a lot of contact
WOW DG STRONG FINISH!!! WHAT A DRIVE!
Nice lil’ Cavs run…
DG JUMPER PURE! c’mon kid get it going!
DG wide open gotta hit that.
Collin?
LMFAOOO what’s going on? that was weird, did he get benched to start the 2nd half?
WOW Allen use the glass big guy!
JUST LIKE DG< WITH THE KISS!!!
Garland low key bad this game so far. 0-fer with three turnovers. In and out of lineup. Hurt?
JB’s rotations kind of weird tonight, subbing guys in and out more than usual…. bench as a whole kind of struggled.
Cavs not shooting well, and not defending the shot all that well either but are up 1 just on hustle and unselfishness.
just need DG to make better decisions after a disastrous 2nd quarter.
TOO EASY SEXTON!! GREAT DRIVE! GREAT READ!
Yeesh, Sexton has 21?
Wall 23
Feels like Wall has 35…
nice take Sexton, had the angle.
The gods of dumb passes smile upon us.
dammit, great rebound Windler, but just couldn’t hit the jumper.
WOW, 7 turnovers in the quarter
Maybe go to your center who’s 4/5 with an enormous mismatch. Idk.
Why lob that? Stevens wide open.
ah C’mon Stevens, you gotta expect that pass you were wide open.
nice take though.
Windler is a bad MFer on the boards..,
yes he is!!!
Sexton with a no nono yes bucket.
oh man Sexton bad take, 4 point swing….
nice take Sexton, patient with that play.
Good timeout
Maybe let Allen touch the ball.
Agreed, get Allen on a roll or post.
WHAT A REBOUND WINDLER!
Bad take DG c’mon man take control.
Wade I thought
You’re right.
Mentioned by others below, but Dotson looks clueless tonight…
This feels like a game we end up blowing.
Ice has a bad habit of fouling in bunches
What are you doing, Damyean?
No more Dotson please.
WADE HUSTLE@!!!! c’mon guys move the ball.
Where’s Garland?
quick sub out for Okoro, Wade, and Allen… definitely weird. Maybe to prevent the 3rd foul from getting picked up?
Was odd. Maybe bleeding or something. Back now
oh no that reaction from House does not look good.
not good ball movement there…. Wade needs to flash to the high post and collapse the defense and kick or dump.
Looked like House banged knees with Allen…
Thought he got hit in the jewels at first, but looks otherwise
NICE DEFENSE ALLEN!!!
That was straight from the Nate Smith basketball Academy!
I mean the pick…
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO
Havale McGeejuwan!
LMFAOOOOOOO what is this Nate?????? LMFAOOOOOOOO
Paton now being guarded, nice to see
MCGEE ANOTHER BLOCK AND FADEAWAY KISS?!?!?!?!?!?!!!
MVP MVP
