Live Thread: Houston at Cleveland
2016-11-01
Sorry for the delay, Cleveland fans. The early 6pm start time threw off your European correspondent. Tonight, the Tribe could bring another championship to the Land. Our beloved Cavaliers might not be the main headline, but any game featuring The King and The Beard should be entertaining. Sound off.
Even though GS beat Portland pretty handily, they better figure out how to get Klay more involved on offense. So far KD going to GS has turned GS into a marginally better offensive team than OKC was last season but worse defensively. It’s two guys doing mostly all of the scoring. Draymond still isn’t scoring at all (only had 18 in the first game and <10 in each of the other three). If this continues, Draymond may be their weakness on Offense as teams will start to leave him like we did Harrison Barnes in the finals. Klay doesn't seem… Read more »
Well, Tribe pinning all of their hopes and dreams on Game Seven tonight. On the bright side, the Holy Triumvirate of Pitching (Kluber, Miller, Allen) are all on the slate for tonight. Going to be one tense game. At this point, we need to win if only so we don’t have to listen to all the 3-1 BS…
Barf
Naquin turned things sour early on for the Indians. Maddon might have turned things sour late for the Cubs by using Chapman, who at the very least should have a sore knee tomorrow.
Cleveland gets two championship-deciding Game 7’s in one year.
Crap! I hate super slow mo.
THE MOZ ( WITH WHAT SEEMS ARE GOING TO BE HIS NORMAL STATS ) 6—8 PTS / 4—5 REB’S —–DON’T THINK THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IN A 16 MILLION DOLLAR PLAYER—-I LIKE THE MOZ BUT NOT THAT MUCH
WTF is the guy with the sound dish doing reaching for the ball?
LEBRON HAS HIM IN HIS HYPERBOLIC/ FREEZE CHAMBER / WHAT LEBRON USES FOR RECOVERY—I WAS NERVOUS EVEN ON SAT WHEN TRIBE WENT UP 3-1 —-FIGURED THOMLIN HAD A ‘BAD ” OUTING IN HIM ESPECIALLY WITH THE WIND BLOWING OUT ——JUST HOPE THAT THE CUBS BEAT DOWN ON THE TRIBE TONIGHT DOESN’T SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF THE PLAYERS OR THE FANS ( I KNOW IT IS ONLY THE 4TH INNING AND I HAVE THEM LOSING THIS GAME ALREADY )—GO TRIBE !!!——–DASPEC90 —I HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS ABOUT KLUBER —THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TIME IN ABOUT A WEEK THAT THE… Read more »
LeBron and the Cavs are off tomorrow, so they can help fire up the players and fans.
Cubs pitching coach Chris Bosio gave up this home run to Jim Thome in Game 5 of the 1995 ALCS, which turned the series in Cleveland’s favor.

Nice clip. Thome could really hit the ball.
I hope Kluber is somewhere getting a full-body massage, chiropractic adjustment, electro-stim — whatever he needs for recovery and prep — followed by a good night’s sleep.
I hope that the Cubs haven’t seen him too often.
THOMLIN PITCHING LIKE ‘AUGUST ‘ THOMLIN—-DON’T THINK TITO WILL BRING IN THE ACES TONIGHT —MILLER / SHAW / ALLEN –SAVE FOR TOMORROW NIGHT
GOING TO COME DOWN TO KLUBER /RELIEVERS IN GAME 7
Bullpen going to get shredded with Tomlin going low innings.
It won’t be the Big 3 from the pen tonight unless the Indians do some scoring. Otero to try to get out of the jam, and then some combo of Clevinger/Manship/McAllister/Merritt.
Nice play, Shump. 4-0. Let’s keep it going.
MFQ!! Making it look real easy.
Cmon tomlin…3-0 in the freakin 1st inning?!
The Cubs hit a lot of balls on the nose. But Tomlin would have gotten out of the inning down only 1-0 if not for a Naquin misplay that you will see replayed many times.
Let’s see if Tomlin can settle down.
Lebron plays at half speed. I don’t think he has sprinted the whole game.
Gordon has a beautiful stroke. I don’t think he has missed in the second half.
Man can both teams fill it up. Glad the Cavs can play D too when it matters.
Refs have been bad tonight against both teams…but the last four calls against the Cavs have all been unassailably wrong
Great hands by Love. Back to back steals on those pocket passes
Weird game tonight. We don’t really care about winning the game, they don’t care about losing in general.
Wow…that was probably a foul on Lebron but harden made it look like he punched him. Unreal.
Harden is such a turd.
We are just a few makes away from a fifteen point lead. Keep firing JR!
NEED MORE OFF REB’S/ 50-50 BALLS
THAT WAS A QUICK HALF / ENTERTAINING —YES GLAD LEBRON IS TRUSTING MORE IN YOUNGER PLAYERS ( KY / LOVE ) WILL HELP COME PLAYOFF TIME
Lebron is trusting the young guys(Love, Kyrie) a lot more this year. Just 5 shots in the half. Both Kyrie and Love in double digit shot attempts. That is the correct chill mode, Lebron. Let the younguns get theirs and save yourself for Atumn and Summer.
Nice first half. Free-flowing game. Easy to the eyes. I wouldn’t mind seeing some D in the second half.
HIgh scoring basketball is the best basketball.
Jr smith with the smart foul to stop harden w 4 ticks left! How is he the new delly right now?
he’s always been much much much better than Delly.
Haha not at defense Cols.
Harden is a handful for sure. He is sneaky super-strong, I mean like Lebron level strong. If he turns the corner, you are buried. Very gifted passer too. Too bad he flops so much.
WELCOME BACK CHANNING —ADDING TO AN ALREADY IMPRESSIVE LINEUP /ROSTER
WOW I HAVE NEVER AIR -BALLED A FREE THROW —-EVEN WITH A FEW BEERS IN ME
Lebron is a much more willing rebounder this year. Ben worth’s prediction that Lebron is in Magic mode and going to average right near a triple double seems accurate
When our offense is on, it is a sight to behold! And I have a feeling we are going to love Dunleavy. Very smart player, knows what to do with the ball before he gets it. Excellent cutter, shooter and passer.
Why is the dude who is in Germany putting this up? What happened to NATEMALLORYTOMEVIL?
Work, maybe?
And thanks Ben for putting this up!
Def need some more Channing frye this year. He is so locked in with Lebron on offense.
The cavs should just win or lose as quickly as possible so they can go over to the Jake. The suspense is making Cols Angry. SERNDIHREUI NOW
About time!
No defense allowed in the game thus far.
