Live Thread: Cavs vs Nuggets
2018-03-07
Well, Cleveland’s last meeting against the Denver Nuggets did not go well, to say the least. It wasn’t so much the final deficit, or even the margin between the two teams throughout the game. It was Cleveland’s complete and utter inability to show even an ounce of defensive capability. The first and second quarters saw the Nuggets score 37 and 36 respectively. That’s inexcusable. Though they managed two 31 point quarters to start the half, they were never able to offer up enough resistance to give themselves a chance.
Luckily for the Cavs, it appears the defensive drain Tristan Thompson is unavailable tonight. Now that Lue is forced to use other players, perhaps Cleveland can show a little more moxie on defense. I expect them to perform better tonight, despite the altitude. Jeff Green should be available tonight, hopefully that doesn’t mean less minutes for Zizic. As always, go Cavs!
ESPN why
pretty sure they are running an extra 15 second ad and then making up for it in game
I almost never see Jeff attacking rim anymore
Great steal Kyle!
STEAL-ZUS!!
not a fan of this Heineken ad. feels like its 3x time longer than it is
So mych for my don’t let Green shoot 3s above the arc theory.

Wish Plumlee would just stick to beach volleyball and leave the NBA to basketball players…
Is it wrong that I sing Edelweiss every time he’s on the screen?
Makes sense to me…
Geoff Green from straight on. Not something I want to count on but I’ll take it!
Threezus turns into d-zus!
2 posessions in a row! you know wilson chandler is like I got this…but no
I did not expect Jeff Green to give us back the lead
Korver off tonight.Lot of bail outs on pist moves for them.

Need someone to hit some shots…
That call was garbage. Chandler initiated all the contact.
wtf is wrong with the ESPN feed? keeps advancing 2 possessions at a time
Argh. Nance should be playing jokic and Zizic plumlee.
Not a great stretch…
JC dribbling like Shump out there…
That’s what Jeff Green should do all day long…
Nice drive jeff
Bron done resting.
He makes sure the ball doesn’t move for 20 out of 24 sec on the clock
There are some truly awful movies coming out this spring…
too many of our possessions result in a wide open Jeff Green 3
nanxe is a animal!
1 shot in six minutes. Altitude taking its toll
Usual Clarkson screw up
Barton traveled all the way to the hoop… but okay
Argh. Cedi. Missed a wide open Kyle in the corner.
Then charged
Nance one man +/- machine
Sorry Nate… if Cedi’s not going to shoot that shot, it’s a big liability…
He has to shoot those, make or miss…
Something I’ve noticed the last few games is that Lue is playing Lebron the whole 3rd. Is that really necessary? Am I incorrect in this assessment?
Or Nance the whole fourth.
A couple easy missed buckets by zz hood lebron free throws ect. A lot of hard shots made by jokic. Cavs are playing a really solid game
Nance is good…
Nance is a beast!
Glorified liggins
Need some Nance Korver action…
It’s baffling that the Nuggets, Jazz, and Bucks are borderline to make the playoffs. What do these teams look like when they don’t play the Cavs?
George hill has done nothing the whole game mayb had some good d
Five assists.
The ball is in his hands for a total of 3 min a game

The Pels have been winning too much, so God is punishing them…
Agile & fragile.
We don’t have enough depth at pf or c
Well, two of them are out with injury so…
We haven’t made a basket for four minutes
Nance should be matching every second jokic is on the floor.
0-11 run to end that quarter.
Where was Korver there? Need some la flama blanca…
It’s a game now, at high altitude…
Can’t stand Jokic tbh…
Nuggets have zero shot blocking. We need to keep attacking the rim.
Is it still a two for one if you miss your FTs?
Zizic cannot reach.
YES!
Two for one?
Where was the foul??
Jokic is the Harden of bigs…

Guys who don’t use the glass going to the hole drive me nuts. Especially when the miss is off the heel.
what is wrong with hood….
He’s one of those players then when his Sean isn’t falling he lets it Infect the rest of his game
For the love of pete
That’s the second time this game that Hood has gotten caught between a shot and a lob…
Terrible stretch here
The more I watch Zizic the more I feel like TT needs to ride the pine the rest of the year unless there’s an injury…
I feel that watching TT
Team absolutely fell apart with Nance on the bench. That’s on Lue and LeBron.
Hill Block!
That was pretty good D by Z2… Jokic just with the great touch…
Another nice play Zizic
Z2 can do PNR too!!
Nance has such an insanely wide catch radius.
Magic and Lakers deadlocked at 79…
It wasn’t even balls that flew out to the free throw line it’s balls right by the hoop
Playing good D but cannot clean the glass. We miss Love.
11-4 offensive rebounds in Nuggets favor…
