Live Thread: Cavs @ Kings
2016-03-09As bad as things may seem at times, with the Cavaliers lack of focus and myriad excuses for falling short of greatness, it’s important to remember that it’s barely been two years since the Cavaliers lost 124-80 to the Hapless Kings. What’s even stranger is that they led the game 32-30 after the first quarter. This game was one of the four low points of the #seasonofHuh. Akron-Beacon Journal Beat Writer Jason Lloyd threw some shade after the game:
They’re just too soft. Under no circumstance should the Kings beat any team in the NBA by 44 points. They’re the freaking Kings!
It was the Kings 3rd largest margin of victory in the history of their franchise, which extends all the way back to the Rochester Royals and the founding of the NBA, a full decade before moving to Cincinnati where The Big O tripled doubled all over the Queen City.
So, the Cavs were on the receiving end of something historic. Tony Allen knows all about that.
Let’s hope DeMarcus Cousins says something mean about LeBron’s fortune cookie tweets or something, anything, to light a fire under our boys’ behinds.
Let’s also hope that fine gentleman Rajon Rondo of BrokenJumperShire is forced to hoist instead of waltzing through the lane with his monoCLE.
testing again….
testing…
And here’s another view:

Here’s one view of JR chest-bumping Love’s head (hopefully Kevin won’t miss the next game with a concussion)…
That’s hilarious. JR is the best.

Evil’s streak extends to 4 games…
Technically I suppose…
You’re good. Alex Trebek gave us the judges’ ruling the other night.
Cavs must have gotten this fortune cookie before the game…
TT had 7 offensive boards tonight!
JR was jumping on Love like they just won the championship, like Yogi Berra on Don Larsen.
JR with the awesome videobomb!
Uncle Drew and Canadian Dynamite postgame interview…
I am most impressed that LBJ didn’t just do a step back three right there, but went to the rack.
That should be part of this seasons highlights. That’s a genuine team moment right there.
Sit Lebron after these FTs. Lue still leaving him in way too long on a regular basis. He’ll probably play him tomorrow as well, which I hope he doesn’t.
Doubt he will have a choice. Doubt Lebron will agree to not play Bryant one last time.
Lebron himself said Coach makes the decisions. Be nice if these guys actually mean what they say sometime.
I effin love JR…
Fristrating game but a fun win. Thank you sac town for not being able to make layups or freethrows
Sacramento is the quitingist team out there.
JR SWISH!! Everyone hitting now!
hey guys, see how the team reacted after that KLove 3? there’s progress.
So the Cavs had the ball for about a minute (two O-boards) and ended the possession with Love’s 4-point play. That’s a nice wrinkle on the prevent offense.
Lue needs to make a new team rule…lebron is not allowed to shoot 3s under 4 minutes in a close game…
If you extend that to the last 36 minutes of any game, period, I’m with you.
And maybe the first 12 as well. But anytime between the first 12 and the final 36, he has free rein.
Also, maybe he just needs a hand on his arm when he shoots.
Four point play!
The best part of that vine is everyone’s reaction after
That should do it!
That. Was. Huge. Not just making, but his teammates continuing to go to him.
Love actually getting some love from his teammates.
I definitely love the reaction of everyone after that made 3..
Klove TOTALLY REDEEMS HIMSELF!
JR IS FIRED UP!
TT is so valuable!!!!!!!!!
IF YOU’RE GONNA HIT ONE! HIT THAT ONE!!
BANANA REPUBLIC IN THE TAILPIPE!!!! (props to Nate)
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. You win again, EG.
Finally!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course you didn’t foul Demarcus, no you didnt
TT to the rescue AGAIN!
Nice give and go between James and Love. Think we need more of that. Seem to recall love got a ton of points from cutting and receiving great passes from Rubio.
Good passing, good job not settling for a 3.
FINALLY… they get the ball inside and attack… you know, since they’ve been in the bonus since the 9 minute mark…
The last four shots have been missed threes for the Cavs… smh…
Nothing like jacking off balance threes when you’re leading. No use getting two pointers. /s
This quarter is taking an eternity
I wonder if Kevin’s confidence is shot because LeBron always calla him “Wiggins” in the locker room.
Yikes. That’s enough of a failure to grab the shooting coach, really break it down, and see what he’s doing differently.
Following Leb’s lead….
LeBron and Love need to stop jacking 3s.
Jr’s shot has been off the past couple games.
Love can’t even box out Collison… my LORD!
LeBron missing g box out after Box out.
That was Kevin I think…
Can’t give up rebounds to Collison.
Cavs insistence on taking threes is letting Kings right back into this game… smh…
KLove should probably be sitting down… his confidence in his shot is, well… shot…
Sad face rimshot
Kyrie with the glide through the air
With the greatest of ease…
