Live Thread: Cavs vs Celtics
2021-03-17Count me among those who were pleased with the improved effort from the Cavs last night. While Jimmy Butler ate their lunch, there was a lot of growth and rhythm developed among the Cavs players, who lost to a team that looked every bit like last season’s Eastern Conference champions. Tonight, the Cavs play a St. Patty’s Day challenge against a Boston team that has been pretty up and down this year and definitely struggled on the road.
Cleveland will be missing the usual suspects of Love, Prince, and Delly. Tristan Thompson, Kemba Walker, and Romeo Langford are out for the Celtics. Hopefully some home cooking and some rhythm will help the Cavs woeful shooting, and get them back into a better offensive and defensive groove. I’m predicting a surprise win for the Wine and Gold as they turn the luck of the Irish against the Leprechauns.
Cavs gotta get allen some looks.
DG good pass, Sexton good shot just missed.
Sexton tough shot!!!
Larry probably could’ve been off a step.
Bally sports?! Wtf
Huh? I missed that.
Seems like Fox sports got bought out by Bally? Not sure but I think that’s what they said
No. They got bought out by sinclair when they broke up fox for the disney sale. Think this is the name they decided to brand under.
FLOP
SEXTON GOOD PASS!!! NANCE FOR THREE!
Nanc3!!!
Nance getting his j rolling would be huge. Good to, Jb.
Came out flat… good timeout JB
That was as predictable as the tide.
Kids amirite??? LMFAOOOO
OKORO GET THE DAMN REBOUND CMON
DG NICE PLAY!!! NANCE FOR THREE!!!
Ice. Nice.
OKORO REBOUND AND COAST TO COAST!!!
nice finish Sexton off the glass
awful defense Sexton… just giving up a wide open 3 to a 3pt shooter.
Cedi had a great half of ball… 2 assists, 2 steals, bench high +7
What is happening? Garland breakout half (scoring wise).
Up 17. I simultaneously feel optimistic and fear a Pacers redux.
the only negative plus/minus at half is Cook LMFAOOOOOOOOO
they should play Dotson if they need 3 minutes.
17 PT LEAD NOT SAFE AGAINST THE CELTS ——HAS D.G. EVER HAD A 30 PT GAME IN HIS NBA CAREER
nope 25 is his high.
Cavs are playing some stellar defense tonight and putting some effort into rebounding…. and sharing the ball better on offense too.
CONCERNING SOMEWHAT ON ALLENS RECENT STRUGGLE TO MAKE BASKETS ———–ROCKETS LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE HANDED OVER “THE REINS ” TO KPJ —–13/ 4 AT THE HALF
He is shooting 40% from the field and 20% from 3. Let us not go overboard. Good assist numbers, though. He has good feel.
Darius!
WHAT A FINISH DG!!! but Sexton was open top of the key.
Okoro gotta try to create there
great pass DG, but fine the kickout there’s three Celtics at the basket!!!
WOW just launch it Sexton, just got pickpocketed for no reason.
and just ran some shit offense on the next possession.
Tatum wears the tightest/skinniest jersey I’ve ever seen lol
REALLY LIKE WHAT I AM SEEING FROM D.G. —KID KEEPS ON IMPROVING /// HIS “D ” IS ALSO IMPROVING
HEY SEXTON WITH A DEFENSIVE PLAY!
Sexton with some nice acting!! Lol love it
Part of the flagrant there was Grant Williams chasing him the length of the floor, pissed about the block.
NANCE HUSTLE!!!
Dirty ass Celtics… why does it always seem that way with them? Maybe I’m just still having nightmares of Kelly O ripping out Loves shoulder
Williams yuk, thought we got finished with that Olynyk style of play yesterday
Williams should get teched at least. Was barking at ref about goaltend on what looked like a clean block.
WHAT A BLOCK ALLEN!!!
DIRTY PLAY CELTICS GET OUTTA HERE>
Fedor really coming into his own.

LMFAOOOO he’s just saying that feign objectivity about Sexton.
Nah. He’s been really on point lately.
agree to disagree LMFAOOO he’s awful
DG looks really, really good tonight…not just scoring…
Yeah DG really just starting to understand how to attack the defense and you can see his confidence growing
Cavs playing well plus Celtics looking like dog poo
They’re bad…. bad vibes after the draft.
Celtics definitely looking like poo…so far…
Sexton and Smart getting yelled at by their respective benches simultaneously, a thing of beauty!
interesting timeout by JB up 18, hope this is a teaching moment about how to dominate until the end of the half
DG en fuego
DG IS ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!
Larius to Darius!
Wow, DG…
WOW, what was that Sexton LMFAOOOO
Dribbled it for literally 18 seconds and clanks a long 2. Uggggh
yeah — maybe that’s a ‘second night of the back to back preemptive get the wind back’ kind of possession? LJ probably happy to get some oxygen but it was not a productive trip other than that
Sexton iso into a good ol contested midranger
Wtf was that
DG AGAIN!!!!!! NANCE WITH THE FIND!
Cook stinks.
DG READY TO SHOOT!!! THERE YOU GO KID!
I dislike this lineup. Cook stinks.
stealth tank? hmm
Sexton is so famous that the Celtics broadcast team thinks Cook is Sexton…oops
still trying to figure out why Cook is in
dammit DG, no shot clock awareness should’ve shot the 3.
Yep
Let okoro handle a bit again.
I wanna see Okoro at the 2.
WOAH DG trying a dame shot LMFAOOOO
Brown two steps blatantly before a dribble. Ridiculous
Brown WALKED
NANCE GREAT DEFENSE!!!!! wow OKORO YOU HAVE TO REBOUND THAT!!!
Cedi rollin.
ok Darius and Cook on the floor at the same time, JB this is your move
I like it, Cook knows to defer to DG.
and it’s not paying off so far LMFAOOO
Canny stuff from Dean Wade, big (Lamar Stevens esque) dunk and selling the moving screen TO, boom
I legitimately have fun watching McGee play (most of the time)
Tatum is a little like a crappy version of Koby…if he gets hot he can fill it up, of course, but man, he takes (and misses) so many garbage long jumpers…
CEDI CATCH AND SHOOT THREE!!!!!
off ball set play for a wide open look!
Cedi’s handle has been garbage, but his passing has been on point.
Wade gotta run Brown off line there.
CEDI WHAT A PASS WADE RUNNING THE COURT!!!!!
WHAT A STEAL MCGEE!
WINDLER MORE GREAT DEFENSE!
CEDI GREAT PASS!! damn MCGEE couldnt finish
K Love first man out to high five Sexton there, while the Cavs are “robbing” Boston, hell yes
