Summer League Live Thread: Nuggets (0-1) vs. Cavs (1-0)
2022-07-10The Summer League Cavs have their second matchup of the summer tonight taking on the Nuggets at Cox Pavilion in the City of Sin. The Cavs put forth a complete, professional team effort dispatching the Spurs relatively easily last game. One thing that really stood out about the Cavs was how disciplined and well-coached they were last game, which is a feather in Mike Gerrity’s cap (and RJ Nembhard’s) especially with a bunch of young players playing together for the first time. Hopefully the trend continues and they can make it two in a row.
A nice little side note, former teammates and national champions Christian Braun and Ochai Agbaji should be facing off against each other.
The game will be televised nationally on ESPNU at 7PM Eastern time, as well as streaming online on ESPN3/ESPN app. GO CAVS!
cap up
Sylla was awesome and got only 18 minutes, take an L Gerrity!
I feel like that guy will be on an NBA roster sometime down the line…
Young, bouncy, with some good feel… he’s got time on his side!
Nembhard definitely the best player on the ‘22 Cavs summer league team. Doesn’t mean he’s the best NBA prospect, of course.
Nembhard big shot, but need stops.
another offensive rebound given up. Jack White Duke guy killing the Cavs on the boards.
Nuggets have been owning the boards. Kind of crazy.
Kamagate and Watson dominated for sure.
Nice pass Nembhard, nice cut Pickett.
I do like flexing in the summer league….such a good look. 🙄
Cavs offensive efficiency tanked in the 2nd half. They did step up their perimeter defense though… but all for naught because they sucked at rebounding tonight.
gave up 14 offensive rebounds, unacceptable.
Cavs in trouble, that might be dagger.
NEMBHARD TAKING OVER!
Cam Young bad shot, get to the rim or move it.
Nembhard nice finish! LETS GOO
That was smooth.
Drive to the hoop Travers! A bit too unselfish…
Passed up a drive and kicked it out. Gotta be aggressive there
Yeah, I mean if there are doubts about your jumpshot, you gotta get some contested layups.
100% Simmo, he’s done that at least twice.
3rd quarter sloppy for the Cavs
yeah that was brutal LMFAO but they close the gap here in the 4th!
on the plus side, they’re shooting well from the floor and getting to the free throw line.
Cavs stink on the boards and at the free throw line, it’s the difference in the game. Also ball movement lacking.
Denver’s simply outhustling the Cavs, Cavs need to turn it up a notch.
nice stepback Nembhard to close the half. Cavs keeping it close.
Nembhard everything but the finish, my boy Christian Braun starting to cook.
Caris LeVert in the house tonight!
Man Ochai with the quick trigger, barely touches the net, smooth stroke
his shot is looking REAL good.
i jinxed that last attempt LMFAO
AGBAJI FOR THREE! RAGE TO!
there ya go Mobley nice pull up!
bad defense next play
Mobley not great tonight, and Hall terrible foul.
and didn’t get the rebound again on a missed free throw.
Agbaji 3 rebounds already, hopefully he keeps that up.
Cam Young steal and foul!!! Nembhard AND 1 STEPBACK!!! great finish to quarter!
Nice Finnish and 1 Ochai !
Agbaji with the scoop and one…I didn’t see him make those at a good rate at Kansas. I hope he doesn’t shoot many for the Cavs.
WOAH AGABJI AND ONE ON THE DRIVE!
#20 (Hagans?) stinking up joint for the Cavs. also Cam Young get on the floor and hustle.
NICE PASS AGBAJI! CAM YOUNG AGAIN!
Cam Young! nice pull up!
Osborne and Mobly whiff on the blockout, terrible play
Myles Garrett in the house and working the camera??
Agbaji got to the rim but didn’t finish, 5 point swing, bad foul Nembhard
Sylla with that energy! Travers nice passing
picking up where they left off!
good start, but guys need to make their free throws. 0-4 off the rip
SYLLA!!!!! AND ONE!
Sylla still hasn’t missed a shot…
bad shot Nembhard 5 point swing.
TRAVERS TO MOBLEY AND ONE!
Sylla great finish! But missed a wide open Nembhard for 3.
RJ Nembhard just COOKED Kamagate in isolation!
yikes, Travers needs to learn how to shoot.
Yeah, I think he could probably get minutes in the NBA this year if he was a good shooter…
LMFAO if only!!!
Right off the jump great pass Travers to Sylla!
