Live Thread: Cavs @ Knicks (#Gardening)
2021-01-29Greetings from the future Cavs fans! Well, not really… even though technically it’s early Saturday morning for me. But, what better way to kick off the weekend than with a little light Gardening?
Time to tune in to check out the Cavs’ first visit to Madison Square Garden as they themselves kick off a quick weekend roadie that will include a stop in Minnesota as well. The wine & gold got back to their roots of winning on Wednesday after a couple of disappointing losses (a blowout in Boston and a missed opportunity against the defending champs), by weeding out the Pistons 122-107. Now, they look to plant the seeds of a streak with the first of three winnable games before facing their month-long February gauntlet of challenging contests.
It sounds like they’ll be at near full-strength to handle Julius Randle and the Knicks tonight, as Larry Nance, Jr. is expected back… meaning the Cavs are only down Kevin Love and Matthew Dellavedova. Let’s hope his presence along with some stellar defense and dynamic offense from Young Bull helps these entertaining Cavs continue to grow and flourish.
Check out all the action (wherever you are in the world) starting at 7:30 EST… Li-li-li-li-Live from the Garden! (or if you can’t Call Ticketron…) catch it on Fox Sports Ohio. And, as always, chime in below!
GO CAVS!
Well next 10 games could be real rough….
Two against Minny shouldn’t be… but February is a grindhouse
Need at least one against the knicks. Not holding my breath on that. We’ve never felt in control of this game since the first because obviously of missed transition opportunities, but also because halfcourt feels absolutely hopeless against this team.
They got one against the Knicks… just not this one
Ha I meant one of this and the next game.
Cavs going to set a record for missed dunks
WOW what is going on????? Allen just get the ball in the basket!!!
Yeezus… this is dumb basketball
DG terrible defense.
Quickley cavs killer
More like DG defense Cavs killer…
Shooting horrible, from 3 or the rim
Another missed dunk…yeesh…
Worst offensive performance in a reaaaaallllly long time. Sheesh not a man played well tonight
WOW trash call ref.
Too much dribbling… no passing at all
Rivers is such an uber annoying player…
ALLEN HUSTLE!
Seems like only Allen can use the glass…
I thought Drummond would’ve been a shoe in to get 7 points to hit the 9k mark… lol nope
our bench has been absolutely spanked tonight.
Slip-slidin’ away….
Yeah, this one looks over unfortunately…
Well that might have been the dagger.
Sexton not getting calls either…
Just not the Cavs night.
This is a game where it would be good to have a big who could shoot… like Love or a non-rusty Nance…
yup LMFAOOO good call.
that was terrible defense.
Gotta have outside shooting to beat a team that packs the paint…
Windler with two trey attempts is a travesty. Hell we’ve only taken 18 because we can’t generate them in the halfcourt. Need to run Windler, Prince, DG off screens more.
Knicks been pulling away after the cavs start.
DRIVE AND DISH OKORO!!!
One pass one shot. Gotta be shooting real well for that to succeed. Limited time for shooters to wind up and get set because closeouts coming fast.
JB should challenge that…
Can’t let Barrett go left, scouting report.
AC read my mind!!!
I have zero confidence in Cedi’s shot… he never plays well when I watch games…
hasn’t been great so far this year.
damn Sexton, find the open guy
Prince bad offense there… but somebody gotta help him out.
Randle fouling Allen repeatedly on that dive to the deck…
Bad time for a Sexton one on three ISO…
Allen with a nice spin and very good finish on a roll.
ALLEN SPIN MOVE AND FINISH!
Jarrett knows how to use the glass…
nearly 70% from the field with the Cavs!!!
Uggh. So many opportunities in transition missed. Bread and butter, what we depend on to score. Credit knicks for not giving up on plays. Playing hard for thibs.
Story of the game… this is a decent lead for Cavs if easy transition buckets are made…
True. But transition can be real sink or swim over a season. Would help if we could generate consistent looks in the halfcourt too.
Still a young team…
No doubt. Just want JB to throw a couple more set perimeter actions in. Simple stuff, but I think would make a difference.
Use the effing glass in transition guys…
OMFG Cedi !!! WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!
Great strip by Cedi… then blows the transition bucket…
Cedi drive and dish…. bad turnover.
bad defense Drummond, put pressure on the balL!!!
CEDI FOR THREE!!!!!!!
Another transition trey by cedi.
Big trey from C3DI!
TO bug biting us.
DG and Sexton playing a lot better in the 2nd half… may it continue!
Too many turnovers…
Dumb foul… though it didn’t look like much
Was pretty borderline, but yeah
Cedi D!!!
CEDI GREAT DEFENSE!!!!!!
Cavs have left about 8 points out there despite coming out with more energy
DG probably should have just reset. No reason to be trying to break from 40 feet out
DG, trying to get too fancy bad turnover.
DG FINISH!!!!
WOW Okoro can’t finish, he’s out of whack.
GREAT PASS DG!
OMG… what is happening around the rim tonight?
Oh jeese. Okoro misses another bunny on cut
Hope DG is ok
OH NO it’s his injured shoulder
Robinson is a walking moving screen… future Warrior?
Hahaaaaa!!!
Sexton probably just needs to take over in the halfcourt.
Yup
SEXTON SNIPER!!!!!
GARLAND FINALLY BREAKS THE SPELL!!!
Another transition trey by dg
WOW, Okoro can’t finish…. issa disease.
Good to see DG starting to heat up from distance…
Some missed bunnies in transition. That hurts.
Ugh… two missed opportunities on the break…
dang it, Sexton gotta grab that.
