Live Thread: Cavs vs Spurs
2021-03-19San Antonio comes to town mostly healthy, missing only Keita Bates-Diop. This marks the first game back since the All-Star Break for DeMar DeRozan who has missed extended time after the death of his father. For Cleveland, Kevin Love, Matthew Dellavedova, and Taurean Prince remain out. Joining them on the injury report is Javale McGee who is listed as out with “illness.” Could a trade be in the works? Hard to say. Should be an interesting night. The Cavs will miss Javale’s steady play off the bench. I expect to see a lot more Dean Wade at the four, and a lot more Larry Nance Jr. at the backup five.
It’s been a tough stretch for San Antonio without DeRozan, who is far and away their best player and joins Jimmy Butler on this season’s “ridiculous all-star snubs” list, averaging 20/5/7 this season. I assume Okoro will check him most of the night. He has to make sure he stays on the ground, cause DeMar’s pump fake is lethal. The Spurs are 5-5 in the last ten, but have lost 4-5 on the road. Tough matchup for the Cavs as the Spurs look to get right, and are missing their best bench player. Hopefully Nance, Garland, and Co. are up to the task.
DON’T BLAME YOU SIMMO —
WHAT IS UP WITH WINDL3R —HAS HE LOST HIS CONFIDENCE —–REALLY THOUGHT HE TURNED THE CORNER THERE
Think so yes, can’t hit the broad side of the barn
Still would def rather see Windler than Thomas
Well, it would be ok to keep watching if it were socially acceptable to be on the beers here at 9AM. As it is, Ima head out in the sunshine with the kids.
Later All.
LMFAOOOO ENJOY THE WEEKEND SIMMO!!!!
BRICKLAYER UNION “ON FIRE ” TONIGHT
Mills smoking. Big nighht for my fantasy squad. Three spurs on it.
No!!! We are in a tight one
Yeah. I screwed up my starters early this week. Annoyed.
Same Nate, Keldon Johnson >>>>>> LMFAOOOOOO!!!!!
Mills just ended the contest.
feels like it!!!
Laying some bricks here tonight
no kidding LMFAOOOOo no one off the bench has made a shot. Nance and Okoro laying some bricks too.
Wtf is sexton doing? Should have stepped straight into a triple.
DG with the hesi!!! GOT THE FOUL THANK YOU!
Ugh why did Sexton’s game turn into shooting floaters like 75% of the time
protecting his numbers.
WOW, awful turnover Sexton and Allen.
DG TO SEXTON FOR THREE!!!
SUCH A “CEDAR POINT RIDE ” TEAM/// ROLLER COASTER
Which one we thinking here? The classic magnum? The ol gemini?
nice defense Cedi on DeRozan.
MIGHT AS WELL GIVE THOMAS SOME RUN AND “MIGHTY QUINN”// LET HIM EARN HIS 10 DAY CONTRACT PAY
they’ll get their run soon enough!!11 LMFAOOOo
ALLEN SWAT!!! DG OH NO!!!
GREAT PASS DG!!!! ALLEN BARELY DUNKED THAT LMFAOOO
WOW, just no game plan discipline, attacking Poeltl in the post is dumb, attacking Murray on the perimeter off the dribble is dumb.
VINTAGE I WILL SPOT YOU A 6 PACK ….AND YOU WILL STILL HAVE A HARD TIME CATCHING UP :-)
DeMVP taking over.
Welp. Spurs too good too balanced too disciplined
Feels like the elastic is gonna snap.
Omg. ThaT was GARBAGE.
Have a seat, Ice
Garbage foul
Chucky Sexton
Zero bench points for a half.
You don’t see that everyday.
Missing javale badly.
Beer #2 coming up – don’t think I’ll catch up to you NOMAD
Vokings down 18. Not. Looking good.
Stevens and Wade gave quality minutes, play them more JB!!!
-20 Sexton in 16 minutes, -13 for Nance in 21 minutes
Nance not a great half, couldn’t finish a thing, some loose passing
yup sounds aboug right.
Is DG this team’s best player now?! I’m just super impressed by how he’s been playing lately
He’s been playing great offense lately. In fact he looks special on offense.
Not sure about best, but he’s good, and getting better.
no, he’s just the best passer and shooter that actually has the ball in his hands… still isn’t nearly aggressive or efficient enough to really surpass Sexton and Allen yet.
Spurs a very good, solid team. Need more out of non-Sexland. Bench awful
Sick pass Darius.
WOOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT A PASS DG!!!! NO LOOK TO SEXTON!!!!!
WHAT A FINISH DG!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!
Ice is melting this game.
Missing lots of bunnies it seems
WOW ALLEN COULDN”T FINISH!!! WOW dude looking tired.
Ugh.. rough 4, possibly 5 point swing
Im convinced he spent the all star break on the couch.
Okoro has to trust his shot and stop over passing
DG TO OKORO FOR THREE!!!!!!!!!!
No hesitation
WOW Gay big shot, Allen didn’t cover.
Oooh, Nance gave up an easy layup. That was a sick lefty pass by Garland
Allen a lot more active tonight.
NICE PASS DG TO NANCE!!!! ALLEN GETS THE FOUL!
There we go, Jarrett!
You literally never seen a Cavaliers player do what Johnson just did
ALLEN HUSTLE!!!! LIKE THE SHOT NANCE!
Bad fpul stevens.
THAT WAS NOT A FOUL!!! STEVEN GOT IT CLEAN!
dammit now Stevens fell asleep on the weakside c’mon man!!!
GREAT PASS DG!!!! GREAT TEAM DEFENSE!!! I LIKE THIS LINEUP!!! OKORO AT THE 2
Cleveland state down eight at halftime.
Love to see Darius’ growth – I remember when he was afraid to shoot in his rookie season
Nifty finish darius.
Non Sexland 4 points thus far?
Somehow Spurs are making Cavs go ISO to create offense.
DG WITH THE FINISH!!!!!!! I LIKE THAT LINEUP!!!!
Okoro Stevens Nance on the perimeter is fun defensively!!!
SOME GREAT DEFENSE STEVENS AND ALLEN!!!!
Nance needs to call for the ball and be aggressive, he has the offensive mismatch, he needs to exploit it.
DG and Sexton need to get him the ball.
He just doesn’t have that mentality right now
yeah won’t ever be his thing but he needs to realize it’s what’s best for the team.
Yeah has to realize that his strength of creating with his passing is limited if he literally never tries to score on his own. Defenses learn and adapt
nice drive DG, needed that.
WOW… Cavs just high on their own supply from the Celtics win LMFAO
This feels like men against boys
DG had the blow by and lost it.
Nice transition D at least
SO WHO DID WE TRADE KELDON JOHNSON FOR
Okoro gets no respect from the refs.
Current lineup …. no offense? Rights away 24 sec violation
Id like to to say jb waited two plays too long to call a time out. But at some point you gotta let guys figure it out. Especially in second quarter.
Cavs just plain and simple need some better shot makers…
TOTALLY DIFFERENT TEAM THAT WE SAW PLAY THE OTHER NIGHT
oh vey…. just not seeing the game clearly…. attack the mismatches!!!
Oh dear
Spurs have closed down on perimeter and Cavs confused
