2021-05-07Welcome to Cleveland, Luka Doncic and Co. The Mavs are missing the Zinger and J.J. Reddick. For the Cavs no Stevens, Garland, Love, Delly, Larry, Prince, and Windler. Try to make it interesting, guys!

sorry I missed you guys, not sorry i missed the game from reading the thread LMFAOOOO
oh well, tank heads rejoice… looks like the Cavs gain some ground against the NBA basement!!!
CLF, I tried to keep up your frenetic commentary posts early on, unfortunately my kids were wailing on each other. Mainly because when the Cavs aren’t winning, they don’t watch and idle hands take over.
I succumbed at the half, scrutinising a game like this doesn’t feel like time well spent.
totally understandable, you’re a real one for even tuning at all LMFAOOOO
at this point of the year, the data has been accumulated and it doesn’t look great… we’re on pace for the exact same winning percentage as last year.
And even worse, the offense has regressed big time even in a season where offense has never been better league wide.
About the only reason for optimism I see is the fact we brought in some nice centers in Allen and Hard Rock, DG’s massive improvement, and Wade being a legit 3 and D rotation player.
The Blazers strike a blow for justice.
Surprisingly close. Thought Bron was coming back, obvs not yet?
Seems his ankle is still bothering him.
Lindsey Come Back!!!!!!
Great pass , sexton.
Cavs not on Bally here in southern Ohio… looks like a bad one eh Cavsdom?
Not the greatest. Theyv settled in. Built a little brick house in the first half.
Wasn’t on in Columbus, so I just checked in on the score from time to time. I certainly wasn’t expecting a particularly close game. Would have been interesting to see Okoro guard Luka, though.
He wasn’t bad. Luka made his bones against brodric thomas.
Nice pass cedi!
Cedi a chance to cut it under 20
Nice follow, collin
Nice enrry pass to allen
Ok – gotta take the kids to a fete. Nomad I think the box score is irrelevant from this point on! Cheers guys
Night simmo! Have a great weekend. Also, whats a fete?
Never thought about the definition, so I looked it up to be sure 😃
noun
BRITISH
a public function, typically held outdoors and organized to raise funds for a charity, including entertainment and the sale of goods and refreshments.
“a church fete”
The fete was fantastic, full of octogenerians that wanted to feed my kids. Had a rockband, also made up of octogenerians. They rocked out! Much more entertaining that the second half I imagine.
That was BRUTAL
37-62 at the half. Poor passing and shooting from Cavs. Defense has been ok all things considered.
Sexton clank. 2 / 16 from 3 for Cavs
Powell exerting some authority with a dumb foul
Nice move cedi to the hoop
Wade contributing to the awful TO count
Cavs testing the structural integrity of these rims.
Cedi with some awful passing to guys who were covered.
A makeup 3 from Cedi
And an awful foul on THJ. 4 pt play…
And TO off his knee. Rough stretch
Cavs have no chance if Sexton can’t hit those midrangers
They have no chance
Okoro looking so comfortable with his ball handling now…it is palpable.
27-42, Cedi with the layup
Okoro solid drive. Thomas getting rooked by the officials
Iccccce woth the drive to the hoop!!!
SO I TAKE IT ALOT OF “BRICK LAYING ” BY THE CAVS SO FAR TONIGHT —-” BRICK SH-T HOUSE ‘ // WHO SANG THAT
23-35, threat of Cavs score being doubled is still there though
Cavs competing despite horrific shooting
Hart with the putback!!! Like to see him with more minutes
Thomas D on Luka is pretty good so far
Clank…clunk….turnover…
Oh jeez Dotson
Yezus. Thisis gonna be a long night.
Yup
Smart play wade. That sexton basket was great.
My god, the Mavs commentators are the most annoying I think I’ve ever heard. Might have to find another feed.
Texans suck.
I wouldn’t know but based on this sample …. Ugh
BRUNSON WITH 2 ASSISTS ALREADY—MAN WISH THE CAVS WOULD HAVE DRAFTED HIM —JUST HAS SUCH A GOOD FLOOR GAME /// ALWAYS UNDER CONTROL ——MODERN DAY LENNY WILKENS
That call was thiiin
Dotson shooting cold, JB needs to spin the wheel to someone else.
I dont know if there is anyone.
Bullish attack by sexton. Awful d thougb
Slick kickout passing by Thomas….more I see of him the more impressed I am
Points hard to come by
IS THE ZINGER HURT ————NOT WATCHING GAME SO I AM RELYING ON YOUR POSTS SIMMO AND BOX SCORE
Yeah. Bench city.
Right knee “soreness”
James Dean Wade.
Waaaaaade!!! Gonna have to score a bunch tonight, nice start
HEY CLF —PUT THE BEER DOWN AND JOIN IN —–LMFAO
Hey I enjoyed my Friday night, head a touch sore. Think CLF deserves a pint or two. 😊
MAVS HAVE 2 PLAYERS THAT I WISH WERE WEARING CAVS UNIFORMS—–POWELL ( WHO WAS A CAV FOR VERY SHORT TIME ) AND BRUNSON WHO REALLY KNOWS HOW TO PLAY TH PT GD POSITION
DONCIC WILL “WAKE ” UP SOON———-JUST FOUND OUT IF YOU SHOW YOUR COVID VACCINE CARD TO KRISPY KREME YOU GET A FREE DOUGHNUT ——EVERYDAY —FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR —-YOU KNOW WHERE OL NOMAD WILL BE VERY MORNING …………” MORE DOUGHNUTS PLEASE “—-LIVIN THE DREAM !!!!
Nice 2 man game, Wade to Sexton who gets a floater over some tall D
Doncic looks exhausted
Wade’s awareness & reach on D is an asset
Cedi’s good form continues…
