Live Thread: Cavs vs Wizards

2018-02-22 Off By JMay

After more than a week of no NBA basketball in Cleveland, the new-look Cavaliers return to action. The last time we saw these Cavs play they just finished off a convincing four game win streak which saw them beat the T-Wolves, the Celtics, and the Thunder. The last game against OKC was a pretty thrilling and convincing test for the new team before they were forced to pump the breaks and head into the all-star break. It will be interesting to watch the continued growth of George Hill, Rodney Hood, Jordan Clarkson, and Larry Nance Jr. as they progress toward the playoffs.

The Wizards and Cavs haven’t met since December 17th. The game resulted in a 106-99 Cavs victory. Before General Manager Koby Altman had his official coming out party at the trade deadline, that game likely represented the last time Cleveland was playing good, sustained basketball. Luckily, Washington will have to face off against a whole new squad and a rejuvenated LeBron James. The King and his Knights of the Round Orange Ball will look to continue the success they had going into the break. If James’s play during the All-Star game was any indication and with John Wall still out with injury, they shouldn’t have any trouble maintaining their mojo. Go Cavs!
