Live Thread: Warriors vs. Cavaliers
2021-04-15
Tonight, the Cleveland Cavaliers play their second game of a back-to-back against the Golden State Warriors, who destroyed the Oklahoma City Thunder last night. Steph Curry looks as good as ever and Warriors appear to be heavily favored. But if Love and company can get hot, that would give them a shot. Chris Fedor is reporting Collin Sexton will be playing tonight. Go Cavs!!!
Garland, Sexton, Okoro, Love, and Allen are the starting five tonight for your Clevelanders.

Sexton with an absolutely terrible shot.
at least DG launched from 3.
What was that dg? Change your mind in mid air?
perhaps? think he got confused that it wasn’t Allen on the roll LMFAO
Ugly 3rd quarter so far but Cavs hanging in… need to start launching some damn 3s.
Okay but not that 3 DG c’mon man work the ball.
WTF is going on????? LMFAOOOOOO
I’m confused
LMFAOOOOO me too!!! looking like some rugby or something out there!
Cavs overpassing. Someone gotta shoot.
jinx!
oh over passed, bad TO Okoro but great defense drew the call!!!
Nice steal okoro!
How tf was that not a foul?
Good lord. That was way too easy a layup for curry
DG STEAL AND PASS!!!!! SEXTON Finish!!!!!!!
SEXTON WAS FOULED!!!!
Good shhot Sexton
Glad Sexton made that, cuz he had a wide open Love in the post.
No energy. Get a to.
Wow curry misses one of the most wide open treys he has ever gotten
Sexton crappy defense, forced Love out of position. easy basket.
More mid-range floaters….ugh.
Goddamn 25-6 bench points.
awful offense and defense to start off… WHY IS DG ON DRAYMOND????????
Because we’re tiny?
LMFAOOOO
Coach Gottlieb on the money, team defense pitiful in the 2nd quarter.
Looks like Curry sitting to start the 3rd? Pour on the gas, lads.
Wrong, my bad
Cavs righted the ship a little there at the end.
DG/Okoro/Wade/Nance/Allen lineup.
Sexton -17, Prince -18 plus/minus.
Sexton should come off the bench and just try to score most of the time. Pairing him with delly is probably ideal. Delly doesn’t want to shoot and just wants to pass. Sexton mostly wants to shoot. Wade should start.
Yr right – harness their natural games
Makes too much sense though. So we definitely shouldn’t do it.
No, that would be crazy.
Wade should start LMFAOO he’s really earned it.
If curry starts making treys in the second half it could get out of control.
yup, Green and Curry’s passing everybody’s eating, their bench absolutely killing the Cavs bench.
Need to get Love more involved with the offense, too much Sexton and the role players can’t get going.
Good defense DG and Okoro getting back at the end, forced a non-Curry shot. that’s good basketball.
Good passing in and out and good pump fake by dg
OH MAN good pass DG, looked like it just went of Nance’s hands.
Allrighty! Stick with it, keep moving the ball, gonna be a high scoring game – Cavs just gotta trust each other & keep shooting.
100%
Cavs really need Nance to be a little more engaged, not that one muffed pass destroys the half or anything and the guy is clearly trying to get his wind/legs back, but given the Cavs size advantage it would be nice to see him power in a dunk or get a few more boards esp. as Allen is in minor bit of foul trouble with three
BS CALL REF DRAYMOND FLOPPED!!!
ok maybe not LMFAO
Shaq impression
I like it… worth the body blow.
good possession CAVS
BALL MOVEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DG THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice read DG, PUNISH CURRY ON DEFENSE!!!!
Too early for a heat check and too far down.
WADE HUGE THREE!!!!!!!!! QUICK TRIGGER!
Damn Curry is on now.
Feels like Curry has had 8 uncontested layups this game…I know he hasn’t, but seems like it…
he’s like 0-7 from three but getting quite a few uncontested layups yup
Another wiggins trey
Too greedy DG, should’ve rewarded Allen for the steal.
WOW HUGE SHOT DG!!!! NEEDED THAT!
oh man DG IS HEATING UP!!!
DG steal and finally something good happens. Listening to Warriors feed but hearing Austin Carr in my head saying something optimistic yet obvious like “Now is the time for the Cavs to man up and cut into this lead, get it closer by the half”
and the answer appears in the form of Darius Garland, wow, happy for him to take over like this but yeah, a little bit of Allen to mix it up would have been good
Cavs get a bucket. Kerr calls to.
DG THERE YOU GO!!!!!! STEAL AND FINISH!
Wonder if DG could ever be the type of team defender curry is.
Bench and Sexton getting destroyed.
awful shot DG.
I step out and an 19-3 run has me thinking of stepping out again.
Everyone but curry killing us
Bring in stevens. No one can defend.
not to be captain obvious here but Warriors are UP 16 / 17 what is happening??
Sexland is looking goofy…. Sexton just obliterates passing rhythm, been stuck on 9 assists the whole damn quarter.
He actually is trying but has no feel with the ball.
yup… exactly. Just doesn’t have it.
Oh FFS sexton what the hell are you doing?
Cavs just need to dump it inside, forget the creativity, just get a couple buckets / fouls in succession and get a stop
Midrangers. Falling into what warriors want us to do.
GREAT PASS DG! Allen nice attack.
Sexton breaks the dry spell
Cavs really looking like a team on the 2nd night of a B2B this quarter…
WHY DIDNT SEXTON REBOUND THAT BALL????!!!!
I was wondering the same thing…
Great touch pass by prince. Not so great shot by dg
true
Prince missed a wide open Wade. Hes getting a bit chucky.
need someone on the sideline to remind him he isn’t modelling his game after Jordan Clarkson
Sexton leading the starters with a -11 plus/minus.
Have warriors feed. Watching the douchiest actual tv commercial of all time. Something about two brothers offering luxury real estate and lifestyle in Bay area. Gross.
DG CMON BE READY TO SHOOT!
awful passing rhythm right now to be fair.
DG wide open just missed.
holy crap what a bad possession!!
Hilarious and pure dada — this calls for a Damyean Dotson musical recommendation
Screengrab?
oh yes, from my files from yesterday’s game
LMFAOOOOO
Well, saved a point.
And a foul. Still a good challenge.
good point, that’s probably more meaningful actually.
Oh FFS
Good play to challenge. If changed to offensive thats a four point swing.
DG decent drive. Couldn’t finish but warriors reached at end.
Hey NBA…nobody likes those trash calls. Nobody. Get rid of them.
amen brother
WOW BS CALL REF SHOOTER KICKED THE LEG OUT!!!!!!
DG still late on the contest but c’mon ref!
Half of Warriors shots are 3s…. less than a quarter of Cavs’ shots are 3s.
Don’t love the rotations tonight. Way too much b2b delly not enough wade. Hart probably not a great matchup tonight.
great call on Wade, kind of ridiculous he hasn’t touched the court.
Yeah where is wade? Has he even played?
just checked in last TO.
Ha nevermind
