Live Thread: Cavs @ Suns
2017-01-08
No Kyle Korver tonight, but the rest of the major players are ready to roll. The Jazz are coming off wins over the Heat and Mavericks, but are 12-25 on the yer. They’re not to be taken lightly though, with their three headed guard lineup of Bledsoe, Booker, and Knight averaging almost 53 points a game and T.J. Warren and Tyson Chandler patrolling the middle.. Should be a good defensive test for the Cavs
LeBron had some extra messages for Tyson Chandler after the game, conversation went on about a full sentence longer than the usual greetings/congrats. Although I have no inside track on this quote, presumably the King said something like “Much respect for having beaten me for the 2011 title; come to Cleveland and we can join forces to beat up on nut-kicking Draymond Green to hoist the 2017 trophy, so please speak with your agent and I will put in a word with Griff yet again.”
I expect LBJ to take a game off in the middle of this trip.
Not complaining or anything but have noticed of late that he seems to be taking 10 seconds off in the middle of the occasional possession to complain to the refs. Anyway your original point stands to reason.
Ugh, game.
I like Booker, very bright future. He’s getting too many open lanes this game tho.
Entertaining game, just hope the unnecessary minutes don’t hurt them on the last game of the trip…
Yeah, James and Irving playing 40 mins vs a 12-25 team isn’t good.
Phx really stepped up in second half.
And we fell asleep..
Game over. Mercifully.
Classic definition of playing down to,the competition after a 22 pt lead
Looks like we escape. Whew!
Shmp has been our best player this game.
Shumped!
Off his foot. Cavs ball!
Wow. They played that out.
Liggs out there.
Tucker’s tough. Would you rather have tucker or Korver?
Probably Korver this year…
14 TOs between KI and the King
Whew! Lucky there. That trip sucked.
That LBJ layup *should* seal it, but this game, who knows…
Nah he didn’t call that. Lucky shot from Bledsoe.
Shump’s shot. Lucky as hell from Bledsoe.
Booker is going to be an absolute assassin.
SHUMP! Shot is back?!
Really tired of easy baskets by Booker….
Liggins should be on him in crunch time.
Last time was a switch. TT.
LBJ saving the day again. A couple more stops and this game should be over.
I wish they went to Love inside more. He was killing them earlier.
Two steps forward & one back. TO.
Whatever happen to our defense?
Wow. LeBron tackled in the air no call.
Ditto.
Lol these refs
King clutch from the left arc.
Thank God Bledsoe bricked an ill conceived, and LeBron redeemed them. LeBron AGAIN. 4-4.
TT for RJ. Overdue there. Suns can take the lead.
Damn. 7 pt lead gone in a minute. Awful call.
That block was epic, and the call was epically crappy.
Wow. What a horrific call. One of the worst all year.
Terrible, terrible call….
I have zero confidene in RJ’s shot. I’d like to see Liggins close this one.
Can we all agree that Jefferson has been hot garbage this game? Liggins should be getting his minutes.
RJ Is just terrible tonight
Age is showing. I just hope he gets good again soon. Adding Korver to lessen his minutes hopefully helps.
