Live Thread: Cavs vs. Knicks
2017-10-29Derrick Rose is back in the fold. His new starting teammates are Tristan Thompson and J.R. Smith. After lazy effort against New Orleans, Cleveland looks to rebound (literally and figuratively) against the mediocre Knicks. If the Cavs go after loose balls and play like they give a crap, they can beat anyone. If they don’t, they can’t. Go Cavs.
Rose is so awful. Completely lost on that p/r D.
Never heard of him.
Opposing coaches’ strategy:
Attack in transition and look for the open 3.
Easy way to beat the Cavs.
Baseball season isn’t just around the corner!
“IS”
The Tribe would be playing right now if management hadn’t mixed up the IR list with the playoff roster.
Collectively, we suck. Worst since Bron took two weeks off before we went bowling.
I don’t know what Griffin would have done if he had been resigned, but he would certainly have put together a roster that made more s nse than this mess…
This is Comic Sans Dan’s plan. He wants to be the GM.
Sign washed up players and Jeff Green…I still remember a few weeks ago how some online Cavs fans were crowing about Corby’s ‘awesome’ offseason…
We’ll see once IT is back. Early returns are not good. TT & JR stinking it up have not helped.
LeBron’s buddies from Klutch. TT had one good season after the mega deal, JR none. I think TT is done due to Kurse of the Kardashians. Don’t know what happened to JR. Too old?
So, yeah, things are looking pretty bad. Of course, they have before and they got things together by the end of the season. So there is that.
Corby for EOY?
Maybe we should consider that we just aren’t that good.
Right now they are terrible…a tier above the Suns, maybe, below everyone else…
Good is as good does.
Maybe we tank, get two top 5 picks, & try again next year after Rose, Calderon, & Green are gone.
Lue for COY?
Crowder r rushed to hat corner trey.
Saw that one coming. Cavs just expect people to stop trying.
Rose is in. This is over.
Promptly throws it away
Touch foul there.
Wade has to step into that corner three.
Six point game. Let’s see if they can sustain. Cavs defensive energy has been so crap out of timeouts.
I stuck with it. Maybe they’ll win for me ;)
No way, they’ll lose by 14…they have been outplayed almost this entird game…
Wow, good call, Mike. A couple minutes later it’s back to 15.
Look it is working. Cavs just like to procrastinate.
maybe we’ll come back and win and we’ll say this was the moment they woke up and turned it all around
That’d be nice
Cavs look like the best team in the league. Frauds don’t stand a chance.
Cavs are awesome
Cavs hustling tonight, good d.
Cavs playing gritty tonight
Since he doesn’t seem to be around tonight, and since I am unable to watch the game, I will play the part of cols tonight.
Cavs look good.
Korver is about the only guy who can hit a shot…
Lebron is playing at 40%. Lazy passes, lazy jump shots, lazy defense… dribbling off his feet at least three times. He’s the leader, everything radiates from him. Haven’t seen this level of BS from him since that last go round against the Celtics before he left for Miami.
Well put.
I like Rose is spurts but not as a starter. I like DWade off the bench. Green can take a hike. Shump can take a hike. IT will help but not in the playoffs. Corby and Dan can take a hike and sell the team!
LeBron looks like an average NBA player. Lue looks like a deer in the headlights and the whole team is looking around while 3’s are swooshing through the net. This is bad.
I’m out. Sorry for the person who’s doing the recap ;(
Here is a positive though. Somehow, despite the horrific defense, we aren’t last in defensive efficiency rating through 6 games, only 26th. Though if they give up another 30 point quarter they might be getting close to last after tonight.
This all started with Comic Sans Dan not resigning Griffin.
Yep. He signed Corby the lap dog.
Not somewhere where I can watch the game, but based off the comment section, maybe three years of bad habits and poor regular season leadership has caught up with this team
It’s a combination of a disastrous offseason, terrible coaching, an entitled, lazy attitude, and bad habits/leadership by LeBron.
Wtf was that shot by Jeff Green?
You could say that after every shot he takes.
This team has no chemistry and the one guy that was able to bring everyone together,
RJ, they cut because of Shump.
Old. Lazy. This team is washed. Time for a redo on at least 4 guys.
Why wouldn’t you give Zizic and Cedi a shot at this point?
I don’t understand Lue. TT is useless and so is Green right now. Why not give the hungry guys a shot?
Lue isn’t going to take a vet like Jeff Green off the floor.
Everyone sucks.
maybe the earth is flat…
Can’t decide if the Cavs look more like they’re playing a preseason game, or just a pickup game with a few good athletes.
This is the second worst team in the league right now. No doubt in my mind.
Green should be out of the league, but Corby and Dan will probably sign him to a max next summer.
Coach. Lue. Out.
Or we might have to accept we stink until IT gets back.
Hmm, not sure that fixes the defense though.
Don’t put TT back in the game, please.
Alright. I’ve had enough. ✌️
Jeff Green is awful. He’s just stinks at basketball.
Trade the Brooklyn pick and TT for McCollum.
Why would Portland do that?
TT 0 rebounds halfway thru the 3rd. Are you kidding me?
This could be another 19-20 start for the Cavs like in 2014-15
That would be improvement over what we’re seeing now. Cavs are losing to losing teams.
This is bad basketball
Watch this timeout sap the Cavs’ spark.
But Lue has the best time out plays!
I AM “THROWIN IN THE TOWEL “—–THIS IS MORE FRIGHTENING THAN “HALLOWEEN –CHUCKY –NIGHTMARE ON ELM ST ” COMBINED —–I DON’T WANT TO HAVE NIGHTMARES TONIGHT—–HOPING FOR MIRACLES THAT THE CAVS CAN PULL IT OUT —NOT HOLDING MY BREATH ON THAT —-WE HAVE SOME SHOOTERS FRYE —BELIEVE CEDI ALSO—-BUT TY REFUSES TO PLAY THEM
TT has all but forgotten how to properly rebound…
Rose and LeBron convert the old-man earthbound fast break.
Lots of flopping by Kanter!
It’s his most developed skill
Love had an open 3 then dribbled into a contested 3.
I WOULD MAKE THAT TRADE RIGHT NOW—SUNS WANT TO UNLOAD HIM
Where’s the foul?
We need more shooters on this team.
TT just go up for a shot!
These refs…. Kanter got blocked by the rim and it’s a foul on TT who didn’t touch him.
TT got him on the arm. Good call.
I didn’t see that.
TT has got to start rolling harder.
Cadavers can’t roll…
Wonder how many minutes the Cavs have led this season…
WHERE IS WALTER TAVARES WHEN YOU NEED HIM (SARCASM )
TT for Tyson Chandler straight up?
JMAY —SO TRUE ABOT T.T. —-OTHER TEAMS KNOW THAT —-SCOUTING REPORT IS OUT ON THE CAVS HOW TO BEAT THEM — TY DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO ADJUST —-BEING OUTCOACHED EVERY GAME
Guess Kyrie took this team’s mojo with him…
Th that was a terrible call. Zinger jumped into him.
Derrick Rose has to box out.
YEAH WHAT IS CONCERNING IS WE ARE NOT PLAYING WHAT I THINK ARE VERY GOOD TEAMS—-WAIT UNTIL THE WIZARDS COME IN THIS FRIDAY—TALKING ABOUT BEING UGLY
Can I take minute to talk about Tristan Thompson’s disappearing act right now? It’s like he’s not on the floor.
One block tonight that I noticed but other than that, nonexistent. If he isn’t rebounding lights out then he’s a wasted spot on the floor…
He looks finished…
Yeah said down below the Kardashian’s curse has him. Two of our starting fine have sucked and one other is gone
Watched about 3 minutes before the half against my better judgement. Not sure what to say. We are in deep trouble if these guys can’t get some wins under them.
O.K. TY LET’S USE THE OLD EXCUSE OF WE PLAYED ” BACK TO BACKS ” —-YEAH WE WILL ACCEPT THAT
MAYBE T.T.. WANTS TO JOIN HIS “DRAFT ” MATE KY IN BOSTON
HEY A BRIGHT SPOT—OUR BENCH OUTSCORED THE KNICKS BENCH—13-5 —HOOYRAY !!!
Knicks have averaged 95 points going 0-3. On pace for 120 tonight. Think the Kardashian curse has possessed TT. Little impact this year and none vs Knicks.
LIKE THAT POST “ALL STAR FOR THE NIGHT ” BECAUSE IT IS (SADLY ) REALITY ——–WTF TY—-ARE YOU EVER GOING TO LET CEDI PLAY—FRYE —-WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE BUT ANOTHER GAME WHICH IS GOING TO HAPPEN ANYWAYS ——-APOLOGIZE FOR BEING SUCH A NEGATIVE PESSIMIST BUT WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH THIS TEAM——-WE DON’T JUST SUCK AT 1 OR 2 THINGS THAT CAN BE CORRECTED ——-WE AREN’T DOING ANYTHING RIGHT ——-THEY MIGHT NOT EVEN MAKE THE PLAYOFFS—-L.A. LOOKING BETER AND BETTER FOR LEBRON ——-COME FEBRUARY IF THIS CONTINUES YOU MIGHT SEE A “HUGE ” BLOW UP —FIRE… Read more »
Haha ok no we’re not trading lebron in Feb. we’ll figure something out and make the playoffs at least
