Live Thread: Cavs @ Heat
2021-04-03The Cavs are back in Miami, where they haven’t won since Shaq was a Cav. In the Cavs’ previous game against the Embiid-less Sixers, Cleveland looked competent for a half and then collapsed when Kevin Love hit his minutes limit as they raced towards a 20-point loss with a lot of mind bending rotations including Collin Sexton playing in garbage time. I’m pretty skeptical that the Cavs are trying to field their most competitive teams. With Larry Nance Jr. out for an “Illness” for the second straight game, Jarrett Allen missing his second straight with a concussion, and Dylan Windler out due to a knee, the Cavs are down to 10 active players, including minutes restricted Kevin Love and Matthew Dellavedova.
The Cavs also elected not to sign Quinn Cook after his second ten day contract ended. With Delly back in the fold, and Quinn not exactly looking like a world beater, it’s certainly not surprising. With 13 roster spots, I’d love to see a flier on Emmanuel Mudiay, and to get Lamar Stevens’ two-way converted to a full NBA contract.
For Miami, Andre Igoudala, Gabe Vincent, and KZ Okpala are out.

Pretty decent half. I will say ball movement is so much more consistent with love and delly in.
Well i suck. Had the time on this game totally wrong.
One of their more enjoyable recent games…so far…
SOLID 1ST HALF —–D.G. REALLY LOOKING LIKE A FINE NBA PT GD —HAS REALLY TAKING SOME “LEAPS ” IN HIS GAME
Pretty much all floaters the past 6-7 possessions. Going in at least or drawing fouls.
Good pocket pass by DG to Hart and good finish
Nice half for the Cavs…DG with 17…
Wow…Hartenstein circus finish…
Love takes advantage of his optimal post up situation on smaller guy
LOL…Sexton tried to poster Poetl…almost did it…
That would have been insane
Oof prince bothered on a bunny. Good transition d by whomever the spurs guy was
Great d on last possession.
Spurs could use some shooters. Basically applies to last few years.
Ball moving well
