Live Thread: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Charlotte Hornets 2021-04-14 Off By Chris Francis Tonight, a healthier Cavs team (Jarrett Allen and Larry Nance, Jr. are back, Collin Sexton still out) takes on a sliding Charlotte Hornets team fighting to stay in the playoff picture. Go Cavs!!! Recap: New Orleans 116, Cleveland 109 (or, Hart & Ice, but too Much Beef) Recap: Cavs 103, Hornets 90
Bad close, bur good quarter
Bench unit earning that game ball tonight, they’re winning this game right now.
even Cedi, a couple of decent fouls there, not making things easy for the Hornets
Really like Nance off the bench and Prince over Cedi on the 2nd unit
Yup… they have been locking it down defensively tonight!!!!!
Prince with confidence. Contested trey.
Delly must be a fun dude to play basketball with…
unselfish guys who play defense always are!!!
He is.
OOOOO GREAT PASS DELLY!
Prince great sequence – swish the 3 then force the TO
BOOOM, 2x
PRINCE WIDE OPEN!!!!!!! LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO HUGE BUCKETS!
DEFENSIVE PRESSURE!!!!
Man, Prince is wet…
PRINCE WITH THE BAILOUT THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Osman a foul machine.
Finally caught up in time for a delly layup
it’s a fun one Nate!!!
Prince and Cedi need to take over here for the bench units. Expecting too much from Delly.
DELLY WITH THE CRAFTY FINISH!!!
oooo Nance open rims out
GREAT DEFENSE CEDI!!!!!!!! GETS THE TURNOVER!
Larry Nance going to have all the tshirts after this year lol.
NICE DEFENSE HART~~!!!! 3 or 4 blocks now????
nice take Nance…. you can tell these guys have never played with each other this season LMFAOOOOOOOO
hilarious challenge — what are they trying to ice Ice?
DG has mostly panned out, just not what the draftniks sold him as. I was expecting a gunner, but he has more pass first DNA in him.
To be honest that is sort of still what I would want in a 6’1” guard unless your name is either Curry or Lillard. Of course Curry is 6’3”. Lillard is 6’2 and hyper athletic and can shoot.
Yeah, I agree. I thought he’d be more of a Curry type of player, but not in Curry’s constellation…
DG has to shoot that wide open corner trey
or Prince, but glad they got the bucket.
Yeah wasn’t a lost possession, but some overpassing by the two of them. Turned out ok.
yup, and a bit of overpassing in the 2nd half too just in general IMO.
GREAT DEFENSE!!!!! ooo Okoro wanted a poster.
Bridges killing us.
WHAT A PASS PRINCE!!!! GREAT CATCH AND FINISH HARDROCK!!!!
DG money, needs to find shots to spark the offense.
Man, your feed is 2 plays ahead of mine
Oh my bad!!! i’m on local cable here, I’ll slow it up!
WHAT A PASS DG!!! HART GREAT CATCH AND FINISH!
WOW OKORO WAS HAMMERED ON THE DRIVE!!!!?????!!!!
Yeah Biyambo got some ball but mostly wrist. Didn’t go straight vertical.
yup, defeinitely brought the hands down and looked like hit arm first.
I like that love got a call. But I hate that call on principle for everyone in the nba.
Same. Just get rid of that crap. That one wasn’t as egregious as a lot of them.
OH NO LOVE MISSED THE BUNNY
Nice idea hart. Bit narrow a window or love couldn’t hang on to it.
LOVE WITH THE BIRD!!! NEEDED THAT!!!!
TO bug starting to bite.
Yup DG sloppy with the ball to start the quarter.
Gotta focus
Timeout was one possession too late…. DG having trouble reading the defense, having trouble getting the ball to Love. Have to figure that out.
Also passed up a few good looks from 3 the past couple of possessions it seems like.
Yeah hasn’t had enough patience or made correct angle on some of the post entry opportunities. Seems like we’ve had no one that can consistently make quick post entries. Lost fundamental in today’s game for a lot of guards.
Delly time?
Maybe?
Bridges with a trey. Maybe had the dunk of the year the other night against capela
Wade playing a pretty solid game…
I like that he has a well-defined role and knows what it is
Yup, he knows exactly what he’s supposed to do and just does that.
WADE GREAT DEFENSE AND REBOUND!
DG was fouled no call SMH.
WOOOOOOOOOOO JARRETT ALLEN MEAN MOVE!!!!!! HUGE BUCKET!
Grown man move
wow
Love has to manufacture a shot there over Rozier.
Agreed. Mouse in the house.
DG STEAL!!!!!! GREAT TEAM DEFENSE!!!! LENGTH WORKING!
GREAT STEAL AND PASS WADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FREE MONEY!
GREAT DEFENSE WADE AND REBOUND!!!!!
oooh too greedy Garland, keep hitting singles and doubles.
WHAT A PASS ALLEN!!! OKORO GREAT CUT AND SLAM!
MANY PEOPLE HAVE POSTED IT ///SAID IT— SEXTON WOULD BE AN IDEAL 6TH MAN
CONGRATS TO KLOVE AGAIN—-PRETTY GOOD COMPANY TO BE HONORED WITH
I like Koby getting a nice look at this team sans Sexton starting (sSs). I think that is the direction we should go.
Agree, but then again I think much of the consensus has been electric sixth man has sort of always been the best role for him. Might not necessarily be the case if we had a 6’5” to 6’6” pg.
Yes, Charlotte is shorthanded, but that is another good 1st half.
LNJ is rusty offensively. But Love & DG leading the way. Prince, Allen, & Hart chipping in (could loose the TOs from Hart).

Special player — and that passing Mark Price (now “only” a few hundred threes behind LeBron) he’s closer to all-time Cavs leader in that category, not easy stuff
ICE WORKING HIS TAIL OFF ON “D”—DOING A NICE JOB ON “SCARY TERRY “
CONGRATS TO LAMAR—-DESERVES THE CONTRACT—–LIKE ICE —BELIEVE AN OFF SEASON OF HARD WORK AND WE WILL SEE A MUCH IMPROVED STEVENS
DON’T BITE THAT TONGUE TOO HARD—–BUT IT IS THE TRUTH
Defense held Hornets 37% shooting!!!!!! THE LENGTH IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE!!!!
KEVIN LOVE: 10 points, 4-5 (2-3 from 3), 6 rebounds, 4 assists, team-high +12 plus/minus in 14 minutes.
Hall of Fame type of performance.
DG enjoying a break from Sexland.
LMFAOOOOO I’m biting my tongue
dazzling work by Darius there
made possible by Okoro kicking it out again and thereby assuring Cavs would eat up all of the clock
LOL, DG with the supreme euro step…
BALL MOVEMENT AND GARLAND WITH THE BUZZER BEATER!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW WHAT A FINISH!!!!!!!!!
GREAT TEAM DEFENSE!!!!! OKORO AND DG AT THE TOP!! GREAT HELP NANCE!
These refs aren’t calling too much either way…
some playoff reffing here.
GREAT PASS DG!!!! ALLEN DRAWS THE FOUL FINALLY REF!!!!!
WOW Nance got hammered no call… NICE REBOUND WADE.
Cavs struggling on offense tonight without Love on the court.
Even when he misses I like the 3 point attempts from 28 feet out!
10000000%!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OKORO HUSTLE!!! Aww man Okoro just lost it on the way up.
man rozier is just a walking bucket
in addition to the propulsion in his game he’s shooting 3s twice as often as Sexton (8 attempts per game to Sexton’s 4+) and more accurately. great player
Really has blossomed in Charlotte.
Goodness Allen got murdered in the paint no call SMFH!
signed Lamar to multiyear deal!!!! yes, love that dude!!!!
So impressed in how hard Okoro plays…you never see him cadillac on D, just made a nice defensive play through effort…
He’s such a smart player, looking so much better with Love out there to space the floor for him.
Wade a solid rebounder
