Live Thread: Cavs vs Pacers
2021-03-03We’ll see how bad the Cavs are still battling growing pains tonight, and if they can compete with a very solid Pacers team. Indy’s lost four straight, and need a win going into the halfway point of the season. Surprise starter? Domantas “Boner” Sabonis (thanks, Jason) is returning from injury. The Pacers are only missing T.J. Warren and Caris LeVert and are more healthy than they’ve been in a while. The Cavs are missing Delly, Kev, and Lary Nance as both teams trend towards health heading into the All-Star break. Let’s see if the Cavs can keep the win streak going against a decent squad. Should be a fun one!
BELIEVE THERE WAS SOME ‘DISCUSSION ” AT HALF TIME ABOUT THE TO’S—–HAVE DONE A MUCH BETTER JOB OF TAKING CARE OF THE BALL THIS HALF
We need a TO.
Groin sprain for DG, questionable…
not good…. hope he heals up 100%.
25 & 10 for Collin with time left in the 3rd.
Noice!
Sexton on tonight with the floater. Really with everything except for taking care of the ball
KEEP THE FOOT ON THE PEDAL —-DON’T LET THEM BACK IN THE GAME
Pretty big game for Sexton, turnovers and all…
Sexton forced that pass, just shoot it.
Oh, Wade rushed that 3.
GREAT DEFENSE SEXTON!
GREAT SAVE WADE GREAT PASS PRINCE!!!!
That was absurd on so many levels.
brink of disaster to a basket!!!!! LMFAOOO
DG might be done for the night…. might be a rocky road until the end.
really need Sexton to step up now.
No TOs for 4.5 minutes. Lead up to 16.
TO to get McConnell in?
Aside from the TOs, we havebeen fantastic.
Dg is so good at the short step scoop. Great looks injured. Ugh.
HOPE DG IS OK
WOAH WHAT A FINISH DG!!!!!!!! OH NO he’s hobbled
Sabonis so smooth in the post
Sexton nice J.
Wade just a touch late on cutting the driving angle.
Outside the ridiculous giveaways, the Cavs have played great…
they have, the turnovers were just spectacularly ugly…. amateur-ish.
Looked like a high school team with regards to ball security. Like houston but even worse.
LMFAOOOO yup reminded me of my playing days!!!! LMFAOOOOOO
Cavs can’t miss from trey
OOOOOOOOOOOOOH Wade finally misses, great pass DG!!!
DG FOR THREE I LOVE IT!!!!!!!
DG 3, better call TO Pacers
Sexton so much better on catch and shoot treys than pulluos.
bad shot Sexton, c’mon.
WADE WITH THE DEFENSE!!!!
YEP GOTTLIEB KNOWS HER SH-T
Maybe she’s our Becky Hammon.
WADE REBOUND!!!!!!!!!!
DG TO SEXTON FOR THREE!!!!!!!!
not a smart play Okoro, don’t double off of Brogdon.
*finishes beer. Shrugs. Order Dean Wade jersey
GREAT CHOICE BW!!! LMFAOOOOOO
Let’s Go Cavs!!!! 3 party
Smooth Sexton!
Wowser wade. Keep starting him.
Hey another kickout
GREAT DRIVE AND PASS DG!!!!! WADE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WAD3 IS A KEEPER
I really like Lindsay Gottlieb…. I want to see her as head coach someday.
spot on the money with those comments man, really knows the game
Yup, exactly!!!
Allen and Mcgee have really become a safety valve for sexland. They must account for more than half of their assists. Glad to see sexton finally learning to be somewhat patient in p and r.
We have 17 TOs at half. McConnell, who did not start the game, has NINE steals in a half. That is depressing.
And we are up 10. We should be up 20. That is very encouraging. As is Wade’s play. And Allen’s. And Sexton’s. And Windler’s. And Garland’s.
MEAN DEAN NOT TOO SHABBY ON THE ‘D ‘ EITHER
Wade & Windler are both pretty good rebounders.
28-6 on the glass is impressive as heck.
WOULD BE NICE TO GO INTO ALL START BREAK WITH 5 GAME WIN STREAK——-REALLY THINK WITH ALL THE TIME OFF —WILL SEE AN IMPROVEMENT IN ICE’S OFFENSIVE GAME —————-WOULD LIKE TO SEE CAVS DEAL DRE NOW JUST TO GIVE WHOM EVER THEY MAY GET IN TRADE TIME TO ACCLIMATE HIMSELF TO THE TEAM—-WOULD THINK THE SAME WOULD GO FOREVER WHO TRADES FOR DRE // GIVE HIM TIME TO ACCLIMATE
Does anyone remember the last time we won five in a row?
LMFAOOO gotta be since LeBron.
Has to be Bron’s last year. I mean, we won 19 & 20 (21?) the last 2 years. Do not think there was 5 in a row.
Yeah I think I would remember a stretch like that.
It was Lebron’s last year. I’m pretty sure the last time they won *three* in a row was Lebron’s last year. I think it was mentioned on a podcast recently.
i think the NBA wanted the all-star game to happen so players/teams could collude and make some deals happen.
Wade really has shown me something the last three games.
Wow wade is on fire this game.
YEAH SAW THAT REB EDGE —–WOW
26 to 6 rebounding advantage for the Cavs!!!! WOW!!!!
shooting nearly 60% from the field, 50% from 3!!!!
except for the turnovers, Cavs absolutely dominating the game.
HEY JUDE —( MAN THAT WOULD MAKE A NICE SONG ) —-HAVEN’T HEARD FROM YOU IN QUITE AWHILE ————REALIZE WE MAY HAVE BEEN A LITTLE TOO HARSH ON YOU /// HAD SOME NEGATIVE VIBES DURING LOSING STREAK—–BUT WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU BACK // JOIN US AGAIN
Hey sexton had an actual kickout to garland
God this McDonnell thing is just embarrassing. DG and Sexton should be embarrassed to call themselves guards. Woof.
WOULD LIKE TO SEE WINDL3R START HITTING SOME 3’S AGAIN—TO HIS CREDIT STILL PLAYS A SOLID FLOOR GAME
TOs are awful to watch but not when you are winning by 10!!!
they are bringing the energy tonight, just need to get smart about McConnell.
26 ASSISTS IS ‘MAGIC ” NUMBER FOR A “W”—–NOT SURE ABOUT T.O. MAGICAL NUMBER
LMFAOOOOO we’ve already exceeded the TO number, i guess we just have to exceed the assist number!
Most surprising thing in this game, is our starters are completely outplaying Indiana’s starters…. and Indiana’s major advantage is their starter talent over the Cavs.
Wade and Sexton absolute plus/minus monsters so far, +18, +21 respectively.
good news, 19 team assists in one half!!!! bad news, 18 turnovers in one half LMFAOOOOOOOOO
I will say cavs still playing with so much energy tonight. Midway thru second in my stream. Still sloppy tho.
AGREED 10 ASISTS FOR COLLIN IS A MILESTONE —JUST CLEAN UP THE TO’S
I CAN ACCEPT TO’S IF THEY HAPPEN IN ATTEPTING TO MAKE AN AGGRESSIVE PLAY —-BUT THESE TO’S ARE PRIMARILY SLOPPY / LAZY / UNFOCUSED PLAY !!!
19 turnovers in first half, and Cavs up by 10 somehow…
Cavs played defense in the 2nd quarter, and they’re moving the ball beautifully when they’re not getting stolen LMFAOOOO
That has to be close to a record.
Never seen a sloppily team lead at half. We should be up literally 25 points or more
WOW, Sexton with 10 assists in one half???????? !!!!! That’s huge
Also 5 turnovers…
2:1 assist to turnover ratio is probably better than his season average LMFAO
JB PLEASE HAVE A ‘FATHERLY ” TALK ABOUT NEGATIVE EFFECT OF TO’S
“Fatherly”better include a smattering of f-bombs.
McConnell with 9 steals at half…embarrassing…
MEAN DEAN WANTS TO KEEP HIS RECORD UNBLEMISHED —–5-0
Embarrassing
WHAT THE HELL COLLIN WAKE UP!!!!!
TO’S SUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OKORO WITH THE FINISH WHERES THE CALL REF!!!!
WADE REBOUND! WADE WITH THE THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
WAD3!
Half of Indiana’s points off of turnovers.
There’s McConnell’s 8th steal…
What is the single game record? Dude is averaging a steal / minute it seems like.
two are tied with 11…McConnell will shatter that…
DEAN WADE IS ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!
Wade shooting clinic…
Love Nance giving Wade love!!!
DG WITH THE BALL FAKE AND THREE!!!!! SIX POINT LEAD!!!
