Game Thread: Clippers at Cavaliers, 12/1/16
2016-12-01Alright folks, here we go. Neither of these teams particularly want to see each other right now — the Cavaliers just turned in a miserable performance for their 3rd loss of the season, and the Clippers are riding a 3-game losing streak on this road trip after coming out of the gates as one of the best teams in basketball.
This team is in a bit of a rough patch, but CP3, Blake, and DeAndre are still going to bring it, and them being desperate might make them pretty dangerous. Let’s keep the ball moving, stay away from overpassing and falling in love with the 3-point shot, and bounce back from that Milwaukee loss with a statement win.
Don’t envy whoever is writing this up. Good 1st, then it was like the globetrotters playing the generals.
The disappearance of Jr Smith has a lot to do with our problems. He’s again a defensive liability and has no gravity on offense right now. We are fortunate to have padded our record while we work out whatever Lue has to work out to get us to play defense
Someone remind me, before Cols gets back to jump on my case, how much was Delly’s deal and how much was JR’s deal?
JR was a lot more…? I think. Regardless, Delly was not JR and vice versa, let’s be real.
How many PPG are the Cavs allowing this season? The Cavs defense is just non existent. I guess it will be a long season for us Cavs season if this continues.
We didn’t get that Delly replacement on D and we still, (STILL) do not have a backup BIG. Biting us in the ass now
We have Girls JR High HS refs officiating tonight. They have demasculinize this game.
MFQ is here. Wish we could play d.
TIME TO GO BOWLING —OH YEAH THAT COACH IS GONE —SO AM I– GOODNIGHT !
I did expect a Bucks loss BUT NOT THIS! The hangover is real
Yeah, seen enough for tonight…someone page me if they show any life…
Well this was… disappointing…
Are you kidding me with that?
I’m confused?
I’m sure it’s sarcasm. We are all disappointed of course.
Are you not disappointed in how this game played out?
Griffin has 11 assists, the Cavs as a team have 8.
I guess the Clips were more embarrassed by their loss to the Nets than the Cavs were in their loss to the Bucks… Okay, I’m going to go watch some football…
Who’s playing?
Dallas at Minny… close game. Defensive struggle.
The Truth just talked Bron into missing both of those FTs…
I’d have snapped the ball at his face. Probably why I never made the pros.
Shoulda run for president instead
Too much of a conscience.
Lue got that stank face on again… wonder how long he goes with the starters with the back-to-back in Chicago tomorrow…
Jesus. Just let Austin Rivers walk into a three.
LeBron literally not guarding anyone on half the Cavs plays.
Or the Clippers plays rather.
LeBron gets mauled but ends up with a T. Looked like incidental post-mauling contact.
Yup… pretty much.
LeBron set the tone and the tone was laziness.
Guess LBJ heard you… locked down on Austin, got the rebound… then drew the foul on the drive LOL.
Can’t believe they’re reviewing this… what a joke.
Where’s Lauren Holtkamp when you need her?
That’s what’s up!!! I miss our girl… saw she was working the last Clips game.
Love’s not having a bad shooting night… maybe need to run the offense thru him for a bit.
As long as he doesn’t put the ball on the floor, because the Clips seem to strip him everytime…
Definitely… Luc Mbah a Moute has stripped him twice in the post… I think Griffin did it once.
who the hell is anderson?
PANIC BUTTON TIME YET——SARCASM–DON’T GO BANNANAS ON ME COLS
Cols isn’t around…
3rd quarter starting in Minny EG LOL.
Not defending the way they should and absolutely not movement on offense.
Just $***** basketball.
I guess Chuck was prophetic…
He had money on the game LOL
Cavs playing like they have money on the game…
Shame on them…. it’s not like CavsDan didn’t pay them LOL
Yeah had a bad feeling about the Milwaukee loss. Too nonchalant about their crappiness.
Clips are not this good… I’ve seen them play twice this year in LA… Reddick has certainly not been this good… Cavs have a long way to go on D…
If they play like this against the Dubs, getting beat to every loose ball and turning it over like they’re getting paid to, they mighg literally lose by 70.
Blake basically grabbed love and pulled him out of bounds.
Kevin Love facing up Blake Griffin: uh oh.
LeBron just watched Griffin grab that rebound.
Jump shots and one and one Jump shots and one on one Jump shots and one on one Jump shots and one on one Jump shots and one on one
LeBron is ass right now.
Used up all his energy dancing around in the pregame…
Man this is some bad basketball… might have to switch over to the football…
Got both on…. about to be halftime. Dak is balling out though.
Scratch that… already halftime.
Cavs playing likd they want to lose by 30….
Just like last game out lack of an offensive game plan or any passing leading to easy points for other team
Cavs once again getting outplayed. Again I know it’s just December but can the Cavs can compete and show some fight against the top teams at least.
Not sure if the rule of 23 assists applies to this year, but we are currently at 7.
Rough first half. Especially the last few minutes. Forgot how much I hate the clips.
Well at least they’re not arguing tonight. Not that they have anything to argue about it
KG and Sheed bring a weird energy
I agree, but I still want to see more.
This Mountain Dew ad with Jimmy Butler in the convenience store haunts my dreams
JR is a liability in this game. But it’s more than just him doing bonehead nonplays
Getting absolutely destroyed on the boards this quarter.
Oh God are you kidding me??? Cavs not putting in the rebounding effort either
risky play by lebron
WTF on the boards fellas?
Disappointed in the defense
They gonna let Reddick get 40? He’s hardly missed.
Yeah… LBJ didn’t get hacked at all that time…smh
DO we NOT try to defend Redick?
JR just tried and they called another cheap foul…
True but there more than just that one time.
Happened at least twice that I’ve seen…
Hey… Cavs finally getting some these stupid whistles.
Except LeBron just got hit about four times on the way to the hoop with no call.
Touche
KYRIE HOW DID he Get That?
Kyrie is MAGIC
TT with the bailout!
Great shot-put form
https://vine.co/v/5UUquPuz2F0
LOL TT
This is the best I’ve seen Reddick shoot all year…
T-Top!
Very nice and composed Kyrie
Refs calls are getting Cavs out of any rhythm. There is just too many calls
That was a great look by Blake, in all fairness…
Doc Rivers cries more than any coach in the league…
He’s annoying as hell…always has been
Is the damn whistle blowing every 30 seconds?
Cavs not doing a whole lot of driving and kicking to three point shooters… waste of Channing’s time on the court…
These fouls are making this game unwatchable.
Yeah, Chris, the Big O would get on his guys by sneering at them and calling them dummy because they weren’t as good as him…some leader…
These calls are way out of hand!! Seems like a revenge ref game from last year
Ball don’t lie apparently…
Are you effing kidding me??
