Live Thread: Cavs vs Sixers
2017-12-09
Sans Joel Embiid, the Sixers look to avenge their late November loss to the Cavs at the Wells Fargo Center. The Sixers are electing to sit the probable all-star center. Philly is coming off a last second loss to Brandon Ingram and the Lakers, Thursday, as Ingram drained a three with .8 seconds left.
Cleveland, meanwhile, lost a tough one in Indy the night before and are 1-3 on back-to-backs so far this season. With no Embiid, it would behoove the Cavs to go to Kevin Love in the post early and often. Look for the Sixers to get some run for Trevor Booker, who they acquired from the Nets for Nik Stauskus and Jahlil Okafor. Dario Saric is also questionable.
I was picking the Sixers, but with Embiid out, I’m going to say that Kevin Love avenges last night’s loss to get the win train rolling for Cleveland again, 110-102. Go Cavs.
Oumf!
Looks like back issue
Wow, huge shot from Crowder…
Now they’re saying his back or hip possibly…
Looked like he might have hurt his knee…
Hope the dude is OK.
Covington is my kinda player. Gotta respect selling out for the loose ball.
Didn’t appear bad, but who knows what he hit…
Agree with Nate. I love guys like that.
Nice hustle when it was really, really needed…
Hope Covington is okay…
Way to stay with it!!
Great hustle on that loose ball after a terrible shot by bron
Good D forced Holmes to take that shot instead of Covington…
Vintage DWade miss…
Hope he’s right…

Bron’s J just not there tonight
As slow as Bron started… he still messed around and got a triple double…
That was a fun run!
Jelly to peanut butter!
BOUNCE PASS!!
:)
Kenny powers, motherlovers
We don’t have a lot in the tank…just gotta hope we don’t miss much
I’m glad Bron got the and one… but it could have easily been called a travel…
Great finish Bron.
STOP THROWING PASSES TO THE POST IN TRAFFIC
Weak pass by Wade…
Wow. Bron watched Holmes lay that in from two feet away.
Need to force some turnovers and avoid the same…
Huge time for shots to start falling. Just need stops.
Crowder comes out of the stands to make a three. Wow that was unexpected and sorely needed.
Needed that from Korver…bad…
La flama thank godda
The 76rs are legit. They are Milwaukee-like in their length and they have better shooting
Where’s Jason to tell us the Cavs deserve to lose this one?
I say we pull it out !
I missed the entire thing until the end where Covington got hurt & Crowder hit that 3.
Hope that is a big shot for him. Monkey. Off. Back. His reaction & everyone else’s seemed to say so.
Hope Love is OK. Thought TT was gonna be a go this week.
Lol. Frye slid that pivot for like 20 inches
God, these TOs are just brutal…
Lebron’s shot not too wet tonight…
Argh. LeBron with a lechuck special.
LeBron leaning on that jumper…
Yup. Looks like 2015.
Ben Werth so gd prescient on Calderon.
LeBron showing his age with that missed dunk.
He got fouled pretty hard… and was also losing control of the ball…
Much better ball movement that possession…
Well rested Simmons coming in…
Five turnovers already this quarter…
Man Cavs just too three happy. Just run an offense.
Great play calderon.
Maybe stop just jacking threes guys…
Get LeBron the ball on the move. Cripes.
Covington and Redick doing all the damage… Simmons not even out there…
What a pass from LeBron.
Frye bricks. LeBron makes two bad passes after.
Gotta bench Cedi. Rook can’t get a call.
AC bot in overdrive…
“They’re not going away…”
“Cavs got a tiger by the tail…”
“Cavs are playing with fire…”
Get some new material man…
Same for Fred.
TOs absolutely kiling Cavs the last 5 minutes…hardly even getting shots off…
Terrible pass by Bron leads to three for redditch.
Sixers just picking on the rookie with lame plays…
Shouldn’t even be a shooting foul. Didn’t even throw it up till Cedi landed.
Welcome to the NBA world of cheapos, Cedi…
That was horse crap.
LeTHREE…
Flop by bayless. That’s when you “trip” and teabag the dude for being a douchey flopper.
That was a classic Curry flop…
I don’t think Cedi touched him…
Pretty cheap foul on Cedi…
That JR pass…

Nice layup to finish the quarter by channing.
Channing drive!
Vintage Frye…
Way to stay with it guys!
Back to the turnover game…
