Live Thread: Cavs at Wizards 2017-02-06 Off By John Krolik Cavs on the road against the Wizards. Wizards good at home. Cavs could stand to be better on the road. National TV game. John Wall fast basketball man. Check back here for recap. Recap: Cavs 111, Knicks 104 (Or, Leads Are For Blowing) Recap: Cavs 140, Wizards 135 (Or, HOLY CRAP)
I think lbj fouling out at least forced ty to make one substitution
Quietly, Korver up to 43.2% from deep with the Cavs (9.3 ppg). In response to Mr. Priceless (love that), I think Liggins has some edge to him, if Lue would play him.
Yeah, when JR is healthy, I love our top 9: James, Ky, Love, JR, TT + Shump, Korver, Frye, + RJ (think of offense with5 of Ky, James, Love + 2 of JR, Korver, or Frye. Shump is pretty good this year as well). Tad thin after that. If Shump is going to miss some time, we should ink Lance to a 10-day. Plus Liggins will play more.
lebron just called most recent trade report trash. and then barkley said “good week for him” with a straight face. great night for a cavs fan. love showing complete game, lebrons jump shot and career high assists and mr 4Q/ot. cant wait for jr to be back he is like an enforcer in these type of games. one hard foul on beal would have been nice
I’ll just say that our nosedive coinsided with Love’s food poisoning & his bout with back spasms, which affected his play (he looked stiff). The slam last game, the 39-12 + the two stops in a row late.
Love that Ky still wears his Whiplash hat… He had a rough game, but he came alive in OT…
First time LBJ has fouled out as a Cav since 2008… (he fouled out last for the Heat in 2014)
Wanna put money that that writers ‘sources’ are in the Knicks FO?
Man… I love February… much better than January…
In C-bus, birds are chirping.
Can we talk about how much better the Cavs offense has been since they comitted to using TT as a roll man? And he’s been a GREAT finisher.
TT in his last 5: 19, 0, 18, 12, 22. 30-47 FG (63.8%).
Goodnight. HAve a good “call” EG
Thanks Cols
Agree with Cols!
Best sporting event since last night. And I hate Tom Brady.
Agree on eah count. Especially #2. Lifelong Falcons fan. Run it twice & kick the FG & the game is over. You can’t fix stupid.
Barkley: he’s had a good week.
This poster on Morris early was awesome too…
Kevin Harlan is the best. At the end he just laughs at the ridiculousness of that jam.
Morris lost his shoe!
Shump on crutches after. Sign Stephenson to a 10-day.
Serious enough he can’t walk to the hotel.
Meh. Trying to keep swelling down. It’s just common sense with million dollar athletes.
Can’t wait until the new LeBron has occasion to talk about Skip Bayless.
I would pay money for that!
Nate you drinking or do you have a booty call like EG?
Nah. Just had some coconut cake though.
Sounds yummy
Coconut cake…also known as a Canton Booty Call
James rains threes in the fourth.
This is less awesome…
Eh. Doesn’t mean much. A precaution. LEt’s hope Beal didn’t literally break his ankles.
He stepped on Kev’s foot… looked painful…
Oh, I thought it was when Beal broke him down.
That’s what the announcers said… then they replayed it and it was obvious he went down before the Beal move…
How the hell is David Lee good on the Spurs? He was almost out of the league.
I hope we
Get them in the Finals. We’d sweep.
Popovich…
Witness Boris Diaw resurrection…
He had a pretty good spurt in Game 1 in the Finals 2 years ago vs. us, IIRC.
I bet the Wiz are still in shock. Classic Scott Brooks loss.
Beal was incredulous after that Bron shot…
I saw the video. You see Gortat hang his head after the Kyrie three?
Priceless… Sad Zangieff…
The Genie never gets a wish.
Sad Zangieff…ooh my…that was so funny.
He looks just like him…
Immensely entertaining game! What I learned tonight is that the handy “record an extra 30 minutes just-in-case” feature on my DVR may not be enough to do the job. Doh!
Good news for victims of the TNT Blackout Massacre…
Kyrie had a bad game… but a great OT…
Can we just talk about how great that pass from Love was? Like maybe 5 guys in league history can make that pass.
Absolutely. Right on the money
Like I said… KLove MVP of this game…
Yep.
TT’s reaction…
Brad Beal’s reaction to LBJ’s shot…
https://twitter.com/AirGordon_/status/828799932706414593
That’s my favorite…guess you should have fould him when he was catching the ball, eh, Brad?
TT got 20+. Eighth Cav to go for 20+ this year for us (James, Ky, Love, Fyre, JR, McRae, Korver, TT). For me, this was Love’s #1 game for us. 39-12 (11-17 FG, 6-10 3s, 11-11 FT). 3 dimes. 3 steals. Some huge 1 v. 1 D. Amazing. James with one of the craziest 3PT shots to tie I’ve ever seen (reminded me of the one JR hit a few years ago at half falling into the stands). Even more amazing after he missed a open layup 20 seconds earlier. Career high dimes for James. Season high points for TT.… Read more »
Anyone else feel like that game never goes to overtime with Liggins in the fourth instead of Felder?
+1
Raises hand…
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?
More than anything, I’m just happy they were able to fight back and get it done… even after LBJ fouled out… He gave them a chance with that miraculous shot and they all stepped up to close it out… Important win for team growth
My 112-109 prediction would have been way off for this one… lol
That game was amazing. Felt like the Cavs had 18 things go wrong, and took everything the Wizards and the refs had to dish out still found a way to win.
Almost everyone made a huge play this game. Or more than one.
Only things that weren’t awesome were Shump getting hurt & 20 TOs. The D needs some work still.
Love’s defense and rebounding tonight were off the charts.
Maybe his best game this year…lalthough I only was able to see like the last two minutes and the OT. Thanks TNT blackout…
What happened?
TNT seems to have blacked out the game on the East Coast
Hmmm… I turned on the telly early in the 4th quarter in beautiful New Jersey, and the game was on.
Might have just been Ohio blackout, no idea…I have never had that happen before….
Really good road win for the Cavs. It was a playoff like atmosphere and Kyle Korver didn’t panicked and knocked down some huge shots. Ky play great right after Lebron’s departure. Kevin played great too.
Top 5 reg season game ever for Cavs?
Probably….it was just so refreshing to see the Cavs make it happen without James….we hardly ever see that….
Nah.
Great game from Start to finish, that’s for sure.
It’s in my top 5 , yes
Pretty close… had some amazing moments
Thanks EG. You drinking?
Nah, got a call later…
Booty?
No, of the conference variety…
Holy cow
You can pretty much swap this with Game 7 footage… same shot…
Bird’s eye view…

Lol “improbable” . Cmon give him the “impossible”
A 30-second ad for a 33-second highlight. ESPN’s content-to-ad ratio is way off.
EG. I need a vine of love to Leb to tie.
Let’s give Love some love for some pretty good stops late.
Oh yes.
Oh yeah
Should have drawn that charge too. Instead wall got to do the point to his wrist ‘its tony brothers bail-out time’ move
Take that 17 game home win streak and stick it Wiz…
LeBron shot. Love pass. Awesome. Vine please mr genius.
Vine is dead, but will try to find some video…
Jeff, you’re absolutely right.
Campy is consistent!!
