Live Thread: Cavs @ Jazz
2019-01-18
The Cleveland Cavaliers’ brutal January run continues tonight at they visit the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City. Despite losing several players to injuries, the Jazz have been playing extremely well lately, winning five games in a row and eight of their last ten. They’ve pulled into a tie for the seventh seed in the Western Conference, and with a fairly easy schedule the rest of the way, are primed to move up the West standings.
They also present a particular matchup problem for the Cavaliers. The Jazz typically start a combo of traditional big men in Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors, but the Cavaliers will be without their top three big men tonight as Tristan Thompson, Kevin Love, and Larry Nance Jr. are all out with injuries. This leaves Channing Frye and Ante Zizic as the Cavaliers’ only active big men. The Jazz also have an elite guard in Donovan Mitchell and a plethora of big wings who can shoot. Considering the Cavaliers’ difficulty guarding the perimeter, this could be a long night for the Wine & Gold.
A night like this is when it’s definitely better to focus on the development of the young players over the final score. Stop on by and share your thoughts on those players here at Cavs: The Blog.
Watched the first quarter and that was all I needed to see.
TFZ!

Skipped this one, sounds like it was the best idea I’ve had in weeks…
Rage time out down by 30. Cavs shooting 25% from the floor, 13% from 3. That’s the story of the game. No energy, no chemistry, no chance. Good night ctb …. Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic are playing now.
Nice hook shot Zizic
Wow, Burks been chucking tonight…. Gets an and 1
Cedi looking rough, terrible misses floater. Nice drive Sexton draws foul

Nice pocket pass Sexton, Zizic can’t finish in the paint
CLF LOOKS LIKE YOU WILL GET “BLOGGER OF THE NIGHT ” AWARD : )…………………………………..DANG IT WE WANT “DENG IT ADEL ” : )
Lol I wouldn’t wish watching this on anybody
Sexton awful pass… Should look to score there.
Korver just played excellent one on one defense on Clarkson.. Forced the miss
Sexton is tough, took a shot and drew the foul
Donavan Mitchell toying with cedi on that play….
0/11 FROM 3 PT LAND—NOT A GOOD RECIPE FOR A “W”——————AND ATTACKING A ZONE
Great idea Sexton, just didn’t execute the pass correctly should’ve lobbed to Zizic not bounce pass.
WITH NO MOVEMENT THEY ARE PLAYING RIGHT INTO THE STRENGTH OF A ZONE DEFENSE —-WTF
IN A WAY IT IS A GOOD THING CAVS GOT NETS PICK LAST YEAR —WAY THE NETS ARE PLAYING AT PRESENT IT WOULD BE LIKE THE 15TH PICK—–THEY HAVE ASSEMBLED A DECENT TEAM—-THERE IS HOPE FOR THE CAVS FUTURE
Cedi terrible turnover.
IT REALLY BOTHERS ME CAVS / PRO TEAM CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO ATTACK A ZONE ——MOST TEAMS WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A ZONE THROWN AT THEM
No chemistry… Willing to bet this group hasn’t played a minute together this year.
Awful offense no body movement. They’re playing extremely tired.
Hood makes the jumper, only guy who can get his shot on offense.
Nice attack hood… More of that
Utah goes zone defense Cavs have no idea how to break it…. No chemistry
Nice idea but bad pass delly
HEY CLF—-WHERE IS EVERYONE——WHAT IS WRONG WITH T.T. —-NOT WATCHING GAME JUST BOX SCORES

Dumb shot Clarkson, had kick outs.
Cedi ugly shot… Had a wide open floater and got caught between the shot and pass.
Cedi with the drive and finish!
Sexton with the speed and finish!!!!! Pretty! Couldn’t replicate it tho on the next play. Sexton rhythm jumper!!!
Nice deflection Burks!
Burks two nice buckets!!!
Terrible shot Sexton, hood terrible decision gotta shoot that easy floater. Good defense cedi!
