Playoff Live Thread: Game 4, Cavs @ Heat (or, Get out your Brooms)
2025-04-28Cleveland looks for a sweep tonight in Miami. I’m surethe Heat have a fishing charter booked for Tuesday. Cleveland will be without Garland. Kyle Anderson is questionable with an illness while Kevin Love (death of his father) and Rozier also remain out. Given injuries and the grind of the other series. Let’s put the Heat out of their misery. Go Cavs.
newfound respect for spoelstra based on his after-game interview.. worth watching
Rockets are toast!
I don’t think the fat lady has sung on this series yet.
It is really hard for me to root for any team woth Brooks on it. Not a big fan of Udoka, either. Dray on the othercside, though.
I try to just enjoy the skill on display (Butler & Sengun at the moment!) & ignore the meatheads.
I can’t stand the Rockets. Was rooting for the Dubs.
FVV playing with real cahones tonight
Dubs in a battle.
We could easily have Giannia, Luka, LeBron, Curry, Jimmy, and Joker all out after Rd1. Plus KD & Embiid never even made the play-in.
Rockets Warriors turning into a steel cage match
Draymond Green with the reflexive half kick to the balls of Houston’s Eason, a la Lebron.
Draymond is a dirty player. And fake tough. He diesn’t start any beef when Adams is around.
Rockets / Warriors in a brawl fest. At this point hoping they just kick Dray and Dillon Brooks out of the game and maybe the other guys could play some basketball.
Just lovely. Really enjoyed the businessman’s handshake that JA had w someone —was it DH? — after the two collaborated on a score fairly early on. Just another day at the office, w smiles. Lots of smiles.
I think it was Wade.
Yes! Nice contribution from Dean, and cool acknowledgement of his closeout defense made by Candace Parker.
The @cavs tallied 77 3PM in their First Round series to advance to the East Semis 🔥
That ties the MOST threes ever hit in a 4-game playoff series, joining…
The Cleveland Cavaliers, in 2016 🤯
Apparently Herro shoved a ref? I missed it, anyone catch it? Penalty?
BTW, this is only one of the top days in Cavs history. here is to more historic days soon!
One of the most satisfying eviscerations of my lifetime.
same
some here were worried about Cavs as a first round out or struggle a month ago.
And by “some” you mean your bullshit strawmen.
The Hear worried me some. The games i Cleveland were close. G2 almost got away.
There were plenty of posts by NOMAD and buck and others about how things looked shaky and how the Heat were going to be scary
“EVERY ROUND A DOGFIGHT” – Nomad 3 weeks ago.
“I don’t want to deal with the Heat” – Arch
The Heat are the first team in NBA history to lose back-to-back playoff games by 30+ points, per @keerthikau.
Both were home games…
Let’s go Cavs! From eeking out a seven game series against the Magic to stomping the Heat in four this year. I’m excited for the next round.
OMG Tyson makes it 60. Couldn’t hold though. Heat Culture funeral was only 55.
now that is what uncle buck calls an ass-kicking, with a humiliation chaser (wedgie on their home court).. outstanding job.. you know the buck mantra.. get the boot on the neck, and apply pressure, as necessary.. hope they saved up some similar hot sauce for the pacers.. riley needed some extra brylcream for this one.. klove laughing or crying ?
His dad passed away yesterday.
klove’s father ? did not hear that.. that is very hard.. been there
This is a glorious beat down
And the Guardians got walloped again!
Cavs played better in Miami than at home.
Not even close.
Better sans Garland & Okoro.
Not suggesting getting rid of either.
GREEN GOT THE GREEN LIGHT 🚦
tT!
DEFINITELY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN ICE s MONEY TO TY ——- I KNOW HE WAS HURT ALL LAST YEAR—— SARCASM DOSED WITH TRUEISM
Hoping $14 mil will be enough. But that, hopefully, is a something we won’t have to worry about for 3 more series (knock on wood).
Up 51!
Great steal & slam & 3 & an Ice 3.
Closing Ty.
Yeah extended garbage time!
I need “the diff” to help me keep track of the score differential.
Ty with a half court circus shot to close the 3rd 🤯
I can’t believe we have a whole quarter to go!
Love how Okoro is now relegated to garbage time.
Looks like Kenny is starting to empty his bench.
WILL I BE ABLE TO WATCH THE REPLAY????
It looks like Bam and Wiggins decided to play this quarter
DRE MAKING THE TRADE LOOK BETTER ALL THE TIME———— “ EVIL 😈 “ COME JOIN US 👍👍👍
recall about two games ago, there was a lot of griping about that being a bad trade. recall saying something like: “we will need him soon”
SHOULD BE “ OKE – DOKE “ TIME SOON 👍🏀
NONAD IS OUT THERE— LITERALLY-🤪—- HERE IS THE SECRET TO CAVS SUCCESS—-YEP ANOTHER TRACK MEET TONIGHT ( GRANDSON s ) SO FAR WHEN I AM AWAY/ DONT WATCH—- CAVS BLOW THE OPPONENT UP …………… “ MORE TRACK MEETS PLEASE 🏃🏃👍👍
EG, I know you’re out there somewhere
I have a “George Forman Grill” that puts Bob Ross’s pic on the sandwich
They literally should’ve paid Merill what they paid Okoro
Yep
Sam I Am with 2 straight 3s
Interesting… I forgot the Cavs had a 41 point lead at the half vs. the Celtics in 2017 playoffs.
At this rate, we could go scoreless the entire half and still win by 6.
Cavs did have 80 points at the half earlier this season. Can’t remember which team it was against. I think Golden State.
This is no longer a game. It’s a crime scene.
Serial killers.
Up 40. Bust a 40. Drink em if you got em.
haven’t had a 40 in a long time, but lots of stories
Edward 40 hands
Lol holy shit. We going to see the 3rd start out as garbage time ?
Kev and TT hugging. Bring this man home.
What a start! Belt. To. Ass!
Holy Moly! This is beautiful!
Dean Wade with some awesome defense
THANK GOD KA UNGLUED HIM OFF THE BENCH AND PUT OKORO ON IT
Heat culture funeral.
Love starting the game with a CAVALANCHE
HOW ABOUT A CAVALANCHE THE ENTIRE GAME
NATE YOU DA MAN!!! LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO GET YALL BROOMS OUT
Put em in a body bag
I AGREE GO CAVS
Miami is done.
Great f’ing start!
Cavs already forcing 3 turnovers a minute and a half in.
JA with the steal and slam!
