Live Thread: Cavs vs Raptors
2020-01-30Outside of Windler and Knight, the Cavs have a clean bill of health. That means no minutes restrictions for Kevin Porter Jr. The Raps? Not so lucky: Malcolm Miller, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Dewan Hernandez and Marc Gasol are out while former Cavalier great Patrick McCaw is listed as probable with a nose injury. No honking the schnaz, guys.
The Raps have won eight in a row, and hung 130 on Atlanta two nights ago. Hopefully Tristan Thompson is auditioning for a Canadian homecoming and Kevin Love has a get right game after getting embarrassed by the Pels. Predicting a competitive game that the Raptors salt away by the mid fourth. Go Cavs.
NATE LET ME KNOW IF/ WHEN THOSE 50/50 TICKETS WIN—THEN I WILL PURCHASE THEM : – )
JOHNB THAT IS MY ONLY FEAR —-TRYING TO SCORE MORE PTS—–WAS WHY I POSTED —BECOME A COMPLETE PLAYER —WILL GET MORE POSITIVE NOTICE—-REMEMBER AFTER HE GOT SNUBBED LAST YEAR IS WHEN HE REALLY TOOK OFF —HE IS VERY COMPETITIVE AND ALTHOUGH HE WON’T COME OUT PUBLICLY AND COMPLAIN –HAVE TO BELIEVE DEEP INSIDE HIS FIRE IS HOT —-GO GET EM YOUNG BULL AND DARIOUS// KPJ ——IF LOVE / T.T. ARE TRADED THE NUMBERS WILL RISE JUST DUE TO ATTRITION
If anyone wants to buy some 50/50 at the charge game tonight, I’ll sell u the winning ticket.
WHETHER YOU LIKE / LUKEWARM/ HATE YOUNG BULLS GAME HE BEING SLIGHTED TO THE RISING STARS GAME IS WRONG !!!—HOPE THIS ” SPARKS ANOTHER FIRE ” LIKE LAST YEARS OMISSIOIN DID FOR HIM ——-AND DON’T THINK IT IS ALL ABOUT SCORING YOUNG BULL / SHOW THEM YOU HAVE AN ENTIRE GAME TO DISPLAY
Should have had Graham’s spot. Unfortunately Bridges probably had to be there due to positional requirements. Otherwise that probably would be Sexton.
Also hopefully it doesn’t make him hog the ball even more to try to score more and prove his doubters wrong.
Garland made Lowe’s 10 Things piece this week at the four letter. In a good way!
That’s cool. He’s seeing what we’re seeing, although still wildly inconsistent, of course…really needs to reign in the impossible pass attempts, but there are several Cavs I’d say that about…
Thanks for pointing that out. Read the last paragraph: Lowe says it’s never too early to wonder if a Sexland back court can work–we’ve been debating that since the day Garland was drafted!
JUST DON’T THINK BEING NAMED TO ALL STAR TEAM HOLDS THE SAME STATUS / APPEAL/ ALLURE THAT IT DID 15 –20 YRS AGO—-PRETTY MUCH A JOKE ANYMORE —–MOST PLAYERS WOULD PROBABLY WELCOME THE TIME OFF FOR SOME R & R –JUST MY OPNION
Can’t believe fans voted trae young in. NBA fans are so dumb sometimes. Less than 2:1 ast:tov ratio. Liability on d. Classic empty stats on worst team in league guy.
EH. He’s a scorer and it’s an all-star game.
That’s why the all star game sucks. It isn’t taken seriously by the players or the fans, so there is zero point in watching.
LeBron’s generatiom killed the all-star game.
There used to be some D played. Individually at least. Guys would go at each other. Back & forth. No help, though. It was fun.
Now it is just a joke.
Almost ever going to win against teams that are just mediocre, let alone contenders, with over 20 tovs. For all the flashes kpj had 7. They’ve had winnable games. But tovs simply kill this team time and time again.
For reference we average second most in the league.
Feel like if Kev would have had some cajones after that offensive rebound, it would’ve been a different ending. Four point swing there.
GOOD COMPETITIVE GAME —–CAVS NEEDED CONFIDENCE BOOSTER——MY PREDICTION 117-104 CAME PRETTY DARN CLOSE —T.O.’S STILL BIG PROBLEM WITH THE CAVS
Cavs covering the spread and competing is a win
Take away a few dumb turnovers, and Cavs might win this…annoying…
they score on 45% of those TOs, they win easy.
finishing with a turnover….
turnovers really kept them from being an elite offensive team tonight. They found a lot of good shots tonight.
Lol. Sabonis over Brogdon? That’s a joke.
Ingram making it is too.
Sabonis & Ingram have both been very good.
Trae Young is the new Kyrie. He should not be there at all. PG13 being hurt so much opened up a spot out west. And 1 Pacer had to make it. Brogdon missed some time.
No real complaints on the reserves. I might have made a different choice or two, but the only reserve from a non PO team is Ingram
Pg being injured is a fair point, but Booker is more deserving than Ingram. Phoenix is better, he is their best player, and he is having a better year than ingram. Or reward someone from memphis, Jackson or Morant.
As for the east Brogdon deserved to be on there over Simmons in my opinion, but Simmons is ok.
I think Booker is a guard and Ingram is a forward. It makes a difference. For Booker to be on the team, another guard has to come off. For the reserves, you have 2 guards + 3 frontcourt players + 2 wildcards. 4 guards max. Out west: 4 reserve guards are Paul, Mitchell, Westbrook, and Dame. All are more deserving than Booker. Ditto Morant. Frontcourt guys are Gobert, Jokic, & Ingram. Give me another forward/center having a better year? Gallanari? KAT? Minny has lost 10 in a row. And he has been hurt. Plus, NO & Phx are about even.… Read more »
Eh. They gotta get rid of these positional rules.
Powell probably available at trade deadline. Interest?
not really, but really has improved shooting over last season and a half.
yeah, they couldn’t give him away last year.
Sexton again.
And KPJ had to attack there.
i don’t like that on ball defense from Sexton, he let Lowry get by and create the advantage.
Shoot the freaking ball, Kev. Come on. That was your shot, and you didn’t want to shoot it.
dang. Big miss.
Garland draws the foul!!!
If they overturn this, we riot.
lnj foot was moving…
refs don’t want a riot tho
Not enough to overturn call on floor.
