Live Thread: Cavs @ Raptors (#TurnItOnAgain) 2016-12-05 Off By EvilGenius Apologies for the tardy Live Thread… Cavs need to Turn It On Again… and soon. Let’s see if they can do it against the Raptors and continue their winning streak against their neighbors to the North. Links to the Present: “A Mask Means Trouble” Edition Recap: Cavs 116, Raptors 112 (Or, Getting things fixed in the six)
Turn it on again is a great tune
This is a part we’re going to miss a Delly type when one of our starters go down. Hopefully for not long.
Since Lue isn’t going to play much of a Liggins/Felder combo, tendency is an increase of minutes to Ky & Bron
For sure. We could use Delly’s 20 minutes right now. LeBron is having to handle the ball too much.
Liggins made a huge step forward tonight. I would certainly give him a chance to see if he can keep it up and maybe take another step up.
McRae had more games of this kind yet he’s still struggling to find minutes in this team. It’s more on Lue actually. He don’t trust neither of them (see; Felder) enough where we all think playing them won’t hurt us as much and would allow us to rest JR more and limit Bron’s minutes.

“DeAndre Liggins gets the game ball…” – LBJ
Wait. Some people don’t think the first Transformers movie was good? Come on. It was excellent.
If you’re a 14 year old boy maybe…
And Michael Bay has never made an excellent movie… ever… The Rock was as close as he got…
The Rock was good. And transformers one.
No… the plot to Transformers is unfollowable…
They need the all spark. Which is hidden in the Hoover dam.
Oh is that it? C’mon…
I think The Rock is pretty bad, too. I suppose it’s superior Bay, for whatever that’s worth…
I mean, at least it had a discernable plot that wasn’t total fiction… but like I said, Bay is really good a shooting things that look cool blowing up… not an auteur by any stretch…
I like the movie The Island lol
Lue starting Liggins in second half and keeping rotation with Shump off the bench paid off…
Considering LeBron knows his body better than anyone. And he knows when he needs rest, I want the minutes police to shut up until further notice.
Nobody has to shut up about anything… There are plenty of things people would like you to stop posting, but we don’t prevent you from doing so…
But I’m right.
Not always…
Not always. I was wrong about TT. And other things I’m sure. But I’m right about th minutes police.
You’re not right, because people are allowed to be concerned that LBJ plays too much… it’s not always because he’s older and risk of injury… sometimes it’s just because they wish he didn’t have to… and also because his head coach has said that he’s trying to cut back his minutes…
And I’m not even one of the people that believes this… but I respect people who do feel this way…
Ok. I’m sorry I said to shut up. I suck.
Almost Never
There Fixed
Cols how old are you? I can’t ever come up with a mental picture of you.
38.
You are repetitive and narcissistic more than right
Bucks giving Spurs all they can handle in Milwaukee…
Ugly game for Delly. He’s shooting worse from three than LeBron. And His are of the corner wide open variety.
See… that’s about what I expected from you… but I don’t tell you to shut up… ;)
Predictable as always…..
Has to suck for the rest of the NBA knowing the Cavs are too good.
Bucks,Clips and Bulls didn’t seem overly concerned…
Important win right there. You know Toronto wants to prove itself against the Cavs.
Yeah. They just aren’t good enough. Cavs beat them easily without expending too much energy.
More trolling. James played 42/48 minutes and the team had to expend a ton of energy.
It wasn’t exactly easy… and it wasn’t without energy expended… it was a good win that they needed, but none of this “bored” narrative you’re shopping…
Needed it with JR going down too… Good to be 3-0 against the next best team in the EC…
Liggins is the new Delly this year….loved his hustle and D tonight…maybe he finally replaces McRae in lineup
Serenity now
New transformers movie looks dumb.
as opposed to the others???
First one was actually good.
Stop it… I’d say the first act of the first one was actually good… Mostly because that was Spielberg’s idea…
Domination
I don’t think that’s quite the word anyone else would use…
82 from Big 3
Shump did a great job on Lowry in the second half… really shut him down
Shump with dumbest foul of the year….him and JR leading the pack
Jim Harbaugh will be complaining about the officials after this one. Whoops wrong team up north
It all evened out though… Cavs got hammered with touch fouls early…
DeRozan still can’t hit threes…
Contested long range jumpers till I die #mambamentality
heel was outta bounds hahaha
WTF on a two pt game
They’re reviewing… looks like DeRozan stepped out
This is stupid…
4 back to backs this month?….sheesh
Both teams clanking or air balling 3s lately….ugly shooting for both teams having over 100 points a piece
Such a freaking flop from DeRozan…
thats what Raps do and then they complain if it goes against them
They’re the Clippers of the EC…
Cavs constantly letting Raptors in this game….shouldve been over 10 minutes ago
James has been great, but I think he has had 4-5 air balls on the jumper
Shump with the aggressive step towards back court…
Cavs out-rebounding Raps 48-31. That and out-shooting 48% to 42%
James shoots threes that aren’t wide open corner threes. 37% is pretty great for off the dribble threes.
There are a lot of wide open top of the arc threes that he takes…

Inception was a fun movie.
KYRIE!

That spot though!
LeBron at 37% from three this year.
He’s been better… but he’s not exactly good from range…
Not so good on the jab-step fall away threes…
Great ball movement… and even though Kev missed the three… Bron right there to put in the layup…
Great passing! Including Love’s pass to Lebron….
Irving turnover in a crowd. Got to pass there
Let’s not grab a nail biter from the jaws of an easy win
LeBron is really good at shooting threes.
Stop trolling…
If he’s really good, Curry must be bonerific.
Curry shrinks
LBJ with a big three
This game is far from over…let’s take it home
I wish the minutes police would stop and think about the fact the LeBron understands when he needs rest and when he can play. He’s really good at this.
To me, it’s not so much the minutes that Lebron has played, but the fact that in competitive games he needs to be on the court almost all the time to keep the team from falling to pieces.
He’s the best player in the NBA. Of course they are worse without him.
Worse is fine, they shouldn’t be lottery level bad without him.
Glad to see Shumpert’s hair has a bounce in its step again
Gotta run a better play than a deep LeBron offbalance 2
Dwayne Casey needs a Tech or his head might explode…
Cavs are bored.
Yeah… I don’t think so… Not against this team…
You need glasses. Intense game
They were bored against the Bulls.
And probably the Bucks too…
Watching on my phone. Lebron playing a lot of minutes (35 with 6 minutes to go). Just an observation.
Probably won’t be the 45 he played against the Bulls…
That was way more of a foul than some of the other garbage the Raps have benefited from tonight…
Gotta love it…
