Live Thread: Cavs @ Nets (#Reassembled)
2017-01-06What’s so special about an early January game on the road against the worst team in the NBA? Well, for the first time in four games, the Big Three is back together… and just in time for the longest road trip of the season (six games in 11 days) that ends on MLK Day with a rematch against the Warriors. Kyrie is back from his hamstring trouble… Kev is back from his fishy culinary misadventure… LeBron is back from a nasty cold. Oh, right… the Cavs are also on the verge of bringing in another weapon as they work to finalize a trade for sharpshooter Kyle Korver. If the deal makes (and sources say it should be done soon), we’ll be saying goodbye to Mike Dunleavy and Mo Williams (as well as the Cavs’ 2019 first round pick) and hello to the best spot up three point shooter in the league this year.
Catch all the action on Fox Sports Ohio starting at 7:30pm EST. And, don’t forget to chime in here…
KLove still,with 9 boards despite shooting almost as bad as Joe Harris. How the heck is Harris starting for any NBA team?
Well, it is the worst NBA team… and he’s only starting because Linsanity is out I think… Remember, this team also has Gum Drop Bear…
Ooh! I hope we get to see him in the second half.
He is hoops excitement personified…
I expect a barrage of threes in the second half as Cavs pull away…
Cavs have 8 steals and have held Nets to just 33% shooting… so even though their shots aren’t falling, they’ve turned up the D…
WASN’T SMOKE”LESS ” JOE ONE OF GRIFF’S PICKS —–ONE OF GRIFF’S FEW MISSES
Tough to hit on second rounders….seems like mostly luck. (maybe less luck with International players)
Milwaukee sure hit on Brogdon at around 35 I think. May prove to be the steal of the draft. A four year player from Virginia
Don’t forget K2Zero!
Although, Griff had just taken over as permanent GM in May…
I don’t think that’s how Ty Lue drew up the last play of the half…
I’m so glad I don’t have to watch Joe Harris struggle to play basketball anymore….
So many wonderful memories…
WOW KEV / KY 5/21—PLUS T.T.’S ” ALLERGY ” TO MAKING FOUL SHOTS —WE SHOULD BE UP BY 25 AND GAME OVER AND LET “MAMBA ” HAVE HIS LAST MOMENTS AS A CAV
To be expected with having a few games off… Kev still doesn’t look healthy… TT just needs to get out of his own head
Booker might be the McRae of Power Forwards… you just know what he’s going to do every time…
Liggins finishes a nice 3-man break from McRae and James.
Lig had to get fancy that time…
LBJ with back to back rim attacks…
LeBron goes on an 8-0 run.
What, Joe Harris missing open threes?
Shocking, I know…
I always seeing former Cavs like Joe, where as soon as they put it up you’re just looking for where the rebound is going.
He must be great in practice to stay in the league.
MAYBE KLOVE USED DUNLEAVY’S FORK TO EAT THE SEA BASS
That Shump crossover J…
Sorry Phil…
Love looks sickly. Skin is ghost white and he definitely dropped a few pounds
Nets with 14 fouls already…
Does Smokin’ Joe have 5 fouls yet?
I missed one… 0-9…
Time to go underhand TT…
Really, if that technique was good enough for Rick Barry…..
Might need to sit Tristan down just to let him get his head together for a minute.
0-8…
Tristan makes how much?
0-7…
Of course he’s 0-6…
The Nets foul TT every play…
Free throws now in TT’s head at 0/7
Rumor now that Millsap might be traded to Houston…
Yikes…..for what?
Where’d you see that?
Said on broadcast…
This is what I get for watching and playing with the kids at the same time. :)
If it helps Houston beat GS I would love it. Haven’t watched Houston enough to know
SMOKIN JOE WAS PART OF THE FRYE TRADE CORRECT ?
Not for Frye… as part of the trade involving the Portland picks…
Joe can’t hit the rim.
Uncle Drew!
HARD TO FIGURE THE SHUMP OUT —HIS SHOT LOOKS SO PURE / SMOOTH AT TIMES
He looks pretty good when the guy guarding him is Smokin’ Joe…
Smokin’ Joe still way off…
Shump gets the crowd oohing and aahing with crossover and J.
#DontGetCarriedAwayShump
SHUMP! Crossover and J!
There you go Ky!
Not a typical shot chart for Kyrie so far — only red around the basket.
PACE FAVORS THE NETS RIGHT NOW ——WOULD ALSO HELP TO MAKE SOME SHOTS
Shump’s posture looked great on that J…
Pretty sloppy stuff… but expected with Ky and Kev playing first games back…
Frye drive!
Good evening
How many fouls the nets have comitted already…. Geez
Fouls in the first quarter: Nets 7, Cavs 0. But the Cavs were just 2-8 from the line (TT 0-5).
Tristan is an animal
TT with the LeBron-like grown-man finish and one!
EG we didn’t get your usual score prediction tonight. Is the game off your Vegas board?
I just forgot… had to get the Live Thread up quickly…
Since the score is essentially tied what do you predict? Cavs by 15?
Cavs 116-98
Thx your predictions are usually very close
CHANNING!
Was that his first touch? Ball in his hands for about a tenth of a second before his first three.
This should be about the time that Korver checks in against Phoenix on Sunday…
Man… TT 0-4 from the stripe…
Kyrie is a little rusty on his finishes
Missing some bunnies…
Got to love the Voltron reference!
Let’s go Cavs!
Fratello mentions Chalmers and Jarrett Jack as possible PG pickups — and says Jack is rehabbing his knee in Cleveland.
I would prefer Jack if you ask me.
Everybody touched the ball that possession…
I love when LBJ plays defense…
TT attacking early
Fadeaway a go!
THAT IS ONE UGLY / DEPRESSING ARENA —-NO LIFE –ENERGY
I like the floor tho…
Herringbone for hipsters

Fratello (analyst on Nets broadcast) says Korver is the perfect player for the Cavs to pick up.
Kyrie with the dime
Imagine being responsible for attracting fans to that arena on their marketing staff.
Even Jay-Z left didn’t he?
Nice help from Kyrie to prevent a dunk by Lopez.
KLOVE like shooting sea bass in a barrel…
I like this floor in Brooklyn…
Bummer… we will not be blessed with Linsanity and his topknot tonight…
Smokin’ Joe starting for the Nets tonight. To space the floor for Lopez, according to the Nets announcers.
The best team in the NBA verse one of the worst. What could go wrong?
Talk about ominous…
Two nights ago, we had to have Pink’s “You Make Me Sick” as the thread theme song. With the Big Three on the court again and Korver waiting in the wings, I think Clapton’s “Wonderful Tonight” is a good upbeat choice. “And I say, yes, you look wonderful tonight” Cavs. Let’s kick some Brooklyn butt.
No. That’s bad wedding DJ music. We need something more upbeat. I prefer a little song called “Soy Yo”
Lol DJ Cols
