Live Thread: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Charlotte Hornets 2021-04-14 Off By Chris Francis Tonight, a healthier Cavs team (Jarrett Allen and Larry Nance, Jr. are back, Collin Sexton still out) takes on a sliding Charlotte Hornets team fighting to stay in the playoff picture. Go Cavs!!! Recap: New Orleans 116, Cleveland 109 (or, Hart & Ice, but too Much Beef) Recap: Cavs 103, Hornets 90
Doncic with a ridic 3 for the win. And he could have been a Cav with some luck.
WOW I JUST SAW THAT LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO what a gut punch for Memphis
Man that was some shooting down the stretch. Nice ball movement and open guys just drained 3s to make it look easy. Fun times!
BTW, got my 2nd Moderna shot today…feel great right now, probably will feel crummy tomorrow. Please get vaccinated, everyone.
Great job mate!!
Cool, good to hear!!!
I kinda see this happening.
IMO Okoro is a guy who impacts the game without scoring… and he also needs to be surrounded by other smart players (Love, Delly, Hartenstein, Allen, etc.) to unlock his scoring abilities. He’s really taken off with Wade, Love, and Hartenstein in the lineups creating space or passes for him.
LMFAOOOO that’s right!
CLF THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR WORK ASSISTING NATE ——REALLY APPRECIATE IT ——YOU THE MAN !!!!
Not a problem, all thanks to Nate for keeping the ball rolling!!!
PRINCE 48% FROM 3 PT LAND THE LAST 6 GAMES ….”ON FIRE ” !!!
Credit to JB for some nice rotations in the 4th, going 5 out with Love/Wade, riding Prince’s hot hand.
The defense was truly great tonight…. I know they’re coming off of a back to back, but Charlotte’s one of the best passing teams in the NBA… they make you guard 2/3 options all the time.
Very entertaining game, good team win. Some hope for a future sans-Sexton
WOW what a win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If the Cavs played like that every night, they’d be a playoff team in the East…
There is talent. But not health. And frankly looking at the personnel no real reason to expect health from a number of key guys.
Helps having 3 of our best players back and playing!!!
And Charlotte’s two best not (Hayward & Ball).
True.
They may have lost this game (or not) if both teams were fully healthy, but I will maintain they are probably in the playoffs, or play-in, if they played like this most of the year. That assumes better health, of course, which never happened.
I don’t disagree with that. Though we haven’t had the same personnel all year either not even counting health. Or played the ones we had consistently. Wade didn’t really start getting a look until like what January or later?
Yup, great point, we don’t even know what the real team looks like cuz we’ve never really seen it!
It would have been nice to see what this team could have done healthy… maybe next year
Yes for sure!!!
Not dead quite yet. 2 wins behind Chicago for 10th. We have 2 games with them left. Win both and we can be right there in a 4 way fight for 10th (Chi, Toronto, Wash, Cavs).
WOW…. If DG/Okoro/Sexton can get playoff minutes so early in their career, that would be big.
Bad day for me to drop Taurean Prince for McDaniels in fantasy…LOL
Lmfao
Lol yep, both prolly going to be be inconsistent though
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
What a ridiculous trade the Allen/ Prince pickup was for the Cavs…even if Prince is traded, it’s a crazy pickup…
Almost enough to keep Koby… probably more about how dumb Houston is and the nets desperation to keep KD happy.
Yup, Houston owner is a broke boy, didn’t want to pay for anyone.
Prince is like what people hoped Crowder would be.
So true.
I always thought Crowder pretty much sucked, but good point…
good point!!
LMFAOOOOOOO great pass DG, caught by Allen by surprised.
Oh great ball movement, Love just missed it, but great shot.
MY GOD PRINCE???!!?!!?!?!!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!
GREAT TEAM DEFENSE!!!! PRiNCE REBOUND!
What a catch going oob and pass by wade for a wide open prince corner trey.
And then nails his own corner trey
that was a HELLUVA play!!!
Let’s go crazy
Every shot that Prince shoots is so pure, nothing but net
His shot looked broken for a while there… not anymore!
NICE TO SEE THE BALL MOVING AND 3 PT SHOTS —-
Great block Okoro
Love is like the greatest tall old guy playing at your ymca. Always in position. Doesn’t make too many mistakes. Can’t really move but still manages to draw fouls. Always boxes out Can’t leave him open.
Total old man game, which is why I thought he’d age well.
DWade bringing the shooting late…
DEAN WADE DAGGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A PASS OKORO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OKORO WITH THE STUFF!!!!!!!!!! BALL MOVEMENT TO PRINCE FOR THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH damn Love great cut and shot, just missed
PRINCE IS ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW HUGE BUCKET!
Man, Prince RED hot…
“EARNING ” HIS 30 MILLION —–LMFAO
Love playing well the last few games. Getting back into form.
Great fundamental box out by love on Biyambo
VINTAGE KLOVE
Old school play
love to see that!!!!!
LOVE CLEANING GLASS!!!!
LOVE BBQ CHICKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh man that looks good LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO
Love is boss…
So savvy
K LOVE slo-mo demolition in Charlotte
Alligator arm!
WOOOOOOOOOO LOVE WITH THE CLUTCH AND1!!!!!!!! WAY TO RUN THE SHOW DG!
Tough luck for DG there, he gave it a good attempt…
AHHH man DG got got
still no points scored by Hornets on that possession
Defense has been incredible!!!!
and in spite of his struggles on offense, Larry Nance Jr was part of that as well
Sick look garland. That was a delly play where you take out rhe wing’s defender by dribbling into him and then pitching back. One of the easiest assists in basketball.
Man that Martin dude looks so much like fournier.
great call!!! LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO
and he has an identical twin!!!!
Triplets. Fournier was lost in the newborn ward.
LMFAOOOOOOOOO
funny
Prince still rolling
WADE BIG TIME THREE!!!!!! DG KNOCKS EVERYBODY OVER LIKE BOWLING PINS!
Dellyesque I say
LMFAOOOOOO
Wade finally hits one!
DWade stepback, looks like James Harden out there
Breakin’ egos and ankles!
Rozier passes to no one.
dang it Prince should’ve taken the shot… too unselfish.
ah burn a little clock ain’t all bad and it gave DG another extended range 3 point attempt, he needs more of those although if they weren’t mostly of the bailout variety it would be better
yup the bailout situation was the issue for sure.
LOL Rozier
WOW, you can tell Nance lost weight.
GREAT SHOT PRINCE!!!!! HES LOOKING SMOOTH!
Really struggling with stamina.
Nice physical take by allen
GREAT TEAM DEFENSE AT THE POINT OF ATTACK!
Nancr huffing and puffing.
Yeah, never see him turn it over like that ever.
Yeah that sloppy TO means get him out
GREAT SET PLAY!!! ALLEN STRONG TO THE RIM!
that Nance on Rozier decision looks like a good one. Could also try Stevens just to mix it up but rotation seems pretty short tonight
Therw we go
Great pass DG to Nance
THE BALL MOVEMENT!!!!! WHAT A READ DG!!!!!!!!!!
love the Delly competitiveness after the whistle, totally determined not to let Rozier shoot the deadball three
Darius at scorer’s table, should be coming in to end the butterfingers episodes
Ragged start ti quarter.
no kidding!!!! kind of ragged overall 2nd half!
oh man Nance was wide open, pass just off and Nance couldn’t catch it.
I’m looking at the talent on this Hornets team compared with the Cavs..honestly think the Cavs are better. If they can be a game over .500, we should’ve been in playoff contention had health been on our side this year
And yes, I realize Ball is out
Lamelo was pretty good for them though.
START 4TH QTR FAST—PUT THIS GAME AWAY
Larry struggling and not entirely there but still almost blocks that shot at the end of the quarter, great athlete — glad he is getting some points from the line anyway
Delly lob to nance to draw a foul
