Live Thread: Cavs @ Hornets (#BuzzOff)
2017-03-24The Cavs are on the road to finish a long, strange trip tonight against the Charlotte Hornets. Given how they’ve played defense lately (or not as the case may be), they might want to bring some of this with them to the contest. Charlotte is yet another team fighting for it’s playoff life (they’re currently 2.5 games behind the Heat for the 8th spot in the EC), and they’ve won their last three in a row to climb back into contention. The Cavs are coming off a disappointing loss in Denver, and have just a 5-7 record in the month of March. Some good news… Kevin Love has been cleared to play in back to backs now, and the Cavs have also recalled Larry Sanders from Canton for some potential additional help in the paint.
Cavs probable starting lineup: LeBron James, Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, J.R. Smith, Kyrie Irving.
Hornets probable starting lineup: Kemba Walker, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Marvin Williams, Cody Zeller, Nicholas Batum.
Prediction: The Cavs spray the ball around from deep, and get back to their winning ways as they swat some flying pests, 113-109.
Action starts at 7pm EST, and can be seen on Fox Sports Ohio.
There you go Kev!
Needed that JR SWISH!
JR from out of nowhere
Just take the layup!
Rrghhh kyrie. Ridiculous shot followed by walking back in transition in a 4 pt game.
Second pass LBJ has thrown directly at a Hornet…
11-1 run…
Cavs no synergy on offense right now…
Bad time for a defensive transition breakdown…
This game has Lue brain fart loss written all over it.
What is up with JR? Why is Lue playing him over Shump? Shump clearly better tonight.
Bad JR D on the pick and roll…
Good to see Kevin back in there after the shoulder scare…
bad possession from LeBron at both ends. He looks gassed. Again.
Would be nice if we fed Love in the post more in crunch time.
DWill shoulda just let it roll out of bounds…
Well, that was horrible…
Don’t save the ball under your own basket!
Another great defensive possession for the Cavs…
First miss for LBJ after going 9-9 from FT line…
MKG with five fouls…
Ouch. Ouch ouch
This should be a 12 point lead right now…
Refs look at EVERY SINGLE questionable Cavs foul…
Wtf. They don’t look at lamb but they look at that.
Man, that Batum three was annoying…
Shump turning into ole reliable with the Dion Waiters pull up
Great D leads to Shump shot!
Meanwhile… in Milwaukee… tilting at giant windmills…
Man, I don’t know if there’s a shot I like better than an LBJ baseline jam…
La flama blanca caliente!
?w=650
Damn, you beat me to it!
Oh that was a sweet play to Korver in ythe corner
No T for Belinelli?
Thought it was clean on the ball but Marco hooked the off arm.
Thank you for that travel call…
So Frye…rest?
Cavs are gonna get a letter…
Tremendous first defensive possession by the cavs in the 4th
Korver got dunked on.
Technically he got dunked past… he wasn’t even in the picture…
Nice DWill drive!
Pudge for two!
Good D!
These refs are working my last nerve…
Gonna need Kyrie in the 4th with dings to KLove and LBJ
Nate sabotaged me
Likely story… ;)
My comments are not worki
How come they aren’t looking at a flagrant?
They just did… called it incidental…
Ahu
Dude… stop drinking and commenting…
¿Que?
Delly looks great against the Hawks. Looks like he’s faster than when he was in Cleveland. He must have finally gotten in shape!
Great big time move by the King.
Hit in the face… no flagrant? No play on the ball clearly…
WTF Shump?!
Great D by Shump that time…
Nice effort, Shump!
Shump is be
¿Que?
Great two man game between Bron and Ky that time…
Kracken!
And Kevin Love gets his shoulder yanked again…
GD it Kevin. Stop doing that.
Kyrie best player on the floor tonight.
Kemba second best…
No. LeBron traveled
Agree to disagree…
Fa
¿Que?
JR d is awdul
He’s out of sorts for sure…
Looks mentally wiped.
Looking like another PG score-off tonight…
Kyrie had pretty good D on Kemba that time… still hit the three…
X sports go sucks
JR finally looked ready to catch one that time…
That was a nice pass too.
Cavs just walking the ball up again…
Kyrie should’ve taken that layup
Tristan Totally screwed by two calls.
