Live Thread: Rockets at Cavs
2018-11-24The Cleveland Cavaliers are fresh off a big win against the Philadelphia 76ers for only their third victory of the season. The Cavs will now go up against another tough match-up in the Houston Rockets and will be doing so on the second night of a back to back. The last time Cleveland played on the second night of a back to back, things got, well, let’s just say ugly. The Cavaliers were pummeled by a less than enthusiastic Wizards team and will be looking to avoid a similar fate against the Rockets.
Houston has had a bit of a rough season themselves with James Harden missing the first portion of the year. However, before losing to the Pistons just last night, they were on a small hot streak with five straight wins. Hopefully their tired legs will be more evident than Cleveland’s own. They will need all the help they can get going against one of the tough Western Conference teams. It would be nice to log two wins in a row but they will have to avoid sloppy turnovers to have a chance at all in this one. That hasn’t been an easy task for Cleveland this season and gets worse when tired. Here’s to hoping for another exciting game. As always, Go Cavs!
YEAH DO NOT HARNESS / REEL IN THAT YOUNG ENERGY—LET IT GO AND LET IT FLOW !!
WILL YOUNG BULL GET 30 TONIGHT ?
Lakers would probably love to have Clarkson the way he’s been shooting this season…
YEAH ARCH IF I WAS DEFENDING HARDEN—I WOULD JUST SIT ON HIS LEFT –IF HE GOES RIGHT AND MAKES IT –OH WELL
The Cavs energy on this back to back is amazing
We are pummeling them on the boards.
GO WILD —-MAN THEY ARE ATTACKING THE BOARDS —LOVE IT !!!
These guys enjoy playing with energy.
Nwaba tip in!!!
Hope LNJ is OK.
Sexton, Clarkson, TT, Korver carrying the O.
Harrison NICE!
I wish Andrew Harrison’s first name was Harry
Harrison sweet finish!!!!
Nwaba really struggling from 3 lately
Yep. Still a positive player. Harden was 1-11 with Nwaba on him at one point.
Has split all his FT trips as well. But still bringing it.
30% for his career… He’s never been a knock down shooter.
Clarkson taking over JR’s former role of taking and MAKING shots that are more difficult than they need to be.
Can’t let Harden go left
Just tuned in…. Great shot Clarkson! And again!!!
Capt. Bandaid
CLARKSON!!!
Nwaba needs to reayhe was beat, just let him take the shot.
*realize he
Ugh!
Nance turned that ankle. Hopefully it’s nothing serious.
Just checking in checked scores and WOOOT Go Cavs, I love this team’s attitude right now!
Gotta play a full 48 minutes, so far so good through 36 but Rockets can score in a hurry. Hopefully Nwaba and Cedi can slow down Harden
Up 10 after 3. Loving it.
It’s clear now JR was the tank commander…or maybe JR and Lue both…
It’s rather interesting isn’t it?
I’m not sure what switched but something clearly did, and these young guys are out there proving they can hang.
It’s amazing what happens when a coach puts his players in positions to succeed
Finally Harden doesn’t get a whistle. Thank you jeeezzzus.
Damn. Harden + LNJ/TT miss FTs. Down to 8.
AGAIN WIN OR LOSE JUST GOING TO ENJOY WATCHING THESE YOUNG KIDS (HOPEFULLY ) GROW INTO A DYNAMIC TEAM
i don’t want to get too far out ahead of my skis, but we may be witnessing something rather historic in sports history
Please elaborate.
a phoenix (not PHX) rising from the ashes.. not many happen in such a short time..
Ha I don’t think we are there yet. But can’t hurt to be excited about it.
really quite amazing, when you consider what the prologue was..
HERE’S TO YOU JRL !! : )
Thanks!!!
Salud!
Damn, Nick Collison looking like an all-star.
REALLY LIKE WHAT I AM SEEING ——-HAVE SWITCHED OVER TO “LAGUNITAS CITRUSINSIS “—HERE IS TO YOU YOUNG BULL !!–ROY !!
I just opened a Columbus Brewing Citra Noel. Good stuff.
Sexton on fire 🔥
Just tuned in to see Sexton take Harden to the hole
He drilled a 3 right before that on him.
Sexton growing right before our eyes.
Sexton. And Clarkson. And Nwaba. And Hood. And even TT.
Very true 👍
Rockets want to roll over.
Up 10. Lucky call on that goal tend. They owed us one.
COMING IN LATE —YES —-KEEPING THE “GOOD VIBE WEEKEND ” GOING !!!!
TT playing like a man possessed.
Good energy from the team. I’m surprised considering the back to back.
TT been getting TT injections?
73-64.. wow again..
Lets run them out of here.
sexton and trae have identical per.. 12.79
Still up five. That TT/Cedi foul up stunk.
Sexton/Clarkson really good tonight.
sexton ppg creeping up.. young bull no busto
Drew over Lue.
If we start hitting 3s
Is it just me or does Harden look a little extra pudgy this year?
they may not win.. but they are no longer playing like losers
mind-body duality is a beautiful thing..
If Clarkson learns how not to ignore open teammates, we may be onto something.
Clarkson assisting!
Kyle Famaing!
Oh how sweet is progress
Nwaba getting 3 steals and a block in the first two minutes was amazing.
Couldn’t play for Lue, however.
cavs transforming in front of our eyes..fascinating.. (who said that?)
Harden killing us.
Still in it. Keep them off the line & we can win this.
TT making me hate him less and less every game.
shame can be a powerful motivator..
If he can be moderately efficient/threatening on offense, TT becomes a legit player.
LA FLAMA BLANCA!!!!
Clarkson passed it!!
Anything is possible!
Nice pass by Nance and better finish by TT. Awesome
Tristan running the floor, very nice
Finish off a one foot jump, I think.
These refs are something else tonight.
Banana in the tail pipe 😆😆😆
I’m glad I will witness the bearded turd never winning a ring in my lifetime.
Rockets on the bonus since the 7 min mark. Jeeezzz
Anyone else out there?
😆😆😆
Completely bullcrap foul on Cedi. WTF?
Nice transition play
The rockets are not threatening at all.
Couple of dumb to’s
just might be a winnable game.. they aren’t what they used to be..
Can’t wait to see all the ‘fouls’ that the Bearded Turd ‘draws’…
