Live Thread: Cavs @ Nuggets
2021-10-25Coming off an impressive win against the contending Atlanta Hawks, our Cleveland Cavaliers visit the offense-happy Denver Nuggets and incumbent MVP Nikola Jokic on the start of a brutal West Coast trip that will pit them against the cream of the crop in the Western Conference. The Cavs will look to build on their hot offensive start (13th in the league in offensive rating, per Cleaning The Glass), and staunch the bleeding on defense (27th in the league).
The good news is that Darius Garland is back, per the official Cleveland Cavaliers Twitter account. Dylan Windler remains a game-time decision.

Tipoff at 9:00pm ET. Looking forward to discussing the game live!

Jfc. That call garbage.
Basically one guy on the team that can make that oop.
Disgraceful offensive execution
by both teams….
Pretty sloppy and frantic.
Not sure what’s going to happen in this one but jeez…. entertaining stuff!!!
SCREW YOU TONY BROTHERS!!!!
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?????
RUBIO STEAL RUBIO TO ALLEN WOW!!!!!!!
Cavs going cold, defensive hands active
Frantic pace. Allen with more good effort. Okoro probably should have kicked it or stopped for a floater
Maybe some Windler minutes here? Get a fresh body?
100%, and Wade I hate JB
Mobley gotta take charge there. Mix it up. Okoro should’ve trusted his three ball.
dammit, Okoro has to finish that with the left hand… 4 point swing rage timeout
Gassed.
yup, agreed… Nate mentioned that earlier too
Great effort by Markkanen and mobley
That Sexton possession was butt.
oh my god Mark gotta make that 6 point swing
Mobley with multiple defensive efforts.
HOLY SHIT THE DEFENSE LOCKING IT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!
what the hell was that Sexton?????
NICE CHALLENGE MOBLEY!
hand on ball twice on two different players. Great hands.
Damnit. Denver gonna be in penalty shortly
What was that foul by rubio? Stop play?
nice take Sexton to draw the foul
Watch the fouls, guys
Lol
Who the eff was porter guarding?
OH MY GOD GREAT PASS DG, Sexton just missed
You better make it if u dribble that long.
He takes so long to load up on pullup treys
OOOOOH GREAT RECOGNITION DG!!!
SEXTON WITH A GOOD ISO ON THE MISMATCH!
THAT WAS GARBAGE DEFENSE SEXTON!!! WTF????
DG TO ALLEN TO MARKKANEN!!!!!!!
Jarrett Allen earning his pay!
Great read by Mark and good coverage by cut by okoro. Pet play by Jokic to that cutter off handoff lures jokic into pass to wing
Sorry guess that was sexton or dg.
ALLEN DEFENSEE!!! FORCES THE TURNOVER!!!!
CLEVELAND”S DEFENSE FOR REALL????!!
They’re trying. But we also thought that might be the case thru 10-15 games last year. Having mobley helps.
running with one of the big dogs.. woof..
NICE DROP OFF SEXTON!
i guess those 2 losses caused some introspection..
damn Mobley got got by Jokic
Mobley seems a little gassed tonight. First time in the altitude.
i agree, definitely think gassed
LAURI STEAL!!! SOME GREAT DEFENSE TONIGHT FROM HIM!
DG TO ALLEN TO MOBLEY GREAT TEAM PASSING!
Good d by allen on mpj. Cut off drive good contest on trey
3 seven footers at the rim, Jokic gets the rebound.
HOOOO WEE DG!!!! NICE FINISH!
I swear Okoro had more than four points.
Sexland is a dead end. Gotta see something from DG this year as far as consistent decision making. Sexton zi am over unless we try him out as 6th man. Them in the same lineup I have been over before it began years ago.

got it figured out, decent first half so far!!! horrible last two possessions allow the lead to get cut from 10 to 4
Uggh. Bad last sequence. DG didn’t look for love. Had mind made up to just jack a pull-up with time to go. Then reaches
Seriously awful call there. They didn’t even review that.
agreed, saw the replay getting ref balled again
that was a garbage possession by DG and terrible foul
had Love on the switch in the high post and didn’t get him the ball
Have we led wire to wire thus far?? I think so, not used to that
LMFAOOOO somehow yeah!!!
Big shot, Joker.
dammit, Allen has to close hard and trust the help
DG handling nicely.
Secret Love in the corner!
DG DROP OFF TO LAURI!!!! NOW WE’RE COOKING!
DG STEAL AND ASSIST TO LOVE!!!!!!!!!!
ALLEN HUSTLE!!!!
Bad signs….Rubio sloppy, DG no impact. When Nuggs start hitting shots…
Nice reverse jinx.
Cavs should put me on a retainer.
I love Denver’s court.
love Denver wanted to move there!
Lot of Aussies there, obviously a quality place :)
NICE!!!!! y’all have great taste!!!
As awfully as rhe Nuggs are shootinf, the Cavs should be up by more.
getting outrebounded, not shooting enough 3s
holy crap what a frenetic pace that last minute or two
Stagnant o last couple minutes.
Super messy
OKORO STEAL AND PASS!!!!
LOVE REVERSE LAYUP FROM THE LEFT POST!!!
I know it’s early in season, but my God, where would we be without Rubio??
Up Sexs Creek that’s where…
NICE CHALLENGE OKORO!!!
GREAT PASS DG!!! AND ONE ALLEN!!!!
bad shot Rubio
Looking a touch puffed
Definitey fair to assume!
Some good and bad rubio so far
yup doing everything well except shooting LMFAO
Sick defense.
NICE REBOUND OKORO!
