12/12 Cleaver Cleveland

[Ale Xander]

Cheap tickets available for this one too

Cleaver the Cavs

Celtics have scoring margin of 16.8 points at home this season. May it continue.

 

[chilidawg]

No Mobley is a break, Allen will have to matchup with Porzingis which should mean no shot blocker at the rim.

Clobber the Cavs.

 

[RorschachsMask]

Tristan Thompson is only 32 years old.

Almost hard to believe.

Tristan Thompson is only 32 years old.

Almost hard to believe.

Fahrenheit or Celsius?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I will be pulling for the Celtics in this contest. That means the entire team versus just my favorites. In short, I want a win, ugly or not and then everyone to do well. But mostly just a win, even if they play terribly.

 

[timelysarcasm]

Feels like an eternity since the last game. Ready for it.

I find the cheap tickets phenomenon very interesting. What's going on with the softening of demand for a first place team with stars all over the place?

 

[bellowthecat]

Bought tickets for this game a month ago and my enthusiasm has only grown. Crush the Cavs!

 

[OnWisc]

Good evening, gentlemen.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Is Zinger drunk? What the fuck was that?

 

[ifmanis5]

NBC Sports Boston lost their video feed for a moment.

 

[timelysarcasm]

Both teams doing a lot of iso ball to start. Blech.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Nice move!

 

[SteveF]

Ugly, ugly, ugly start on defense.

 

[osori]

Not a big fan of JT quite often gambling for offensive rebounds he has 0 chance of getting, just to be the last one in transition D.

 

[timelysarcasm]

Death by a thousand cuts.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The Cavs are really putting it upon the hapless C's here, early.

 

[ifmanis5]

This is horrible.

 

[OnWisc]

These guys look like they spent the weekend in Vegas anyway.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

This offense is comically inept.

 

[128]

Tatum misses so many wide-open looks.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Orlando got Allen switched and abused him off the dribble and fouled him out. Would be nice if we would challenge him off the dribble instead of settling for threes when he is switched.

 

[SteveF]

There aren't enough timeouts in the world for this team right now.

 

[timelysarcasm]

Doesn't help that they can't throw it in the ocean.

 

[gammoseditor]

Feels like an eternity since the last game. Ready for it.

Too bad the team isn’t.

 

[ifmanis5]

These are the stretches where if you have a Superstar he just takes over and mitigates the run.

 

[Just a bit outside]

This is when the high school coach pulls all the starters to teach them a lesson.

 

[osori]

Wow did not expect that poster.

 

[OnWisc]

The Globetrotters don’t get as good looks as the Cavs right now.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Once again I am begging Joe to implement an offense that involves setting a screen.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Keep slinging the three's boys, eventually they might go in.

 

[ifmanis5]

Getting killed from 3.

 

[OnWisc]

Once again I am begging Joe to implement an offense that involves setting a screen.

It led to a pull-up three.

 

[OnWisc]

If we’re going to jack threes maybe at least find out what Hauser has tonight.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Time for PP to be the energizer bunny.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

It's frustrating that when they take the time to find a mismatch, they get a good look, but then they head right back to shooting deep threes. Sometimes, you just need to pile up some points in the paint.

 

[patinorange]

Maybe they will have a good third quarter tonight?

 

[128]

Maybe they will have a good third quarter tonight?

If I read the pregame graphic correctly, Mitchell averaged 37 points against Boston last season.

 

[mikeford]

Jesus these guys couldn't throw it into the fucking ocean

 

[ifmanis5]

This is the part of the game where Tommy would like something to happen down in the box.

 

[OnWisc]

That had to be a harder ball to save than it looked. Or Jaylen just quarter-assed it.

 

[osori]

PP is the winner!

 

[OnWisc]

It's frustrating that when they take the time to find a mismatch, they get a good look, but then they head right back to shooting deep threes. Sometimes, you just need to pile up some points in the paint.

Little is more frustrating than knowing what works and simply electing not to do it.

 

[ifmanis5]

Sick move by Garland.

 

[mikeford]

Cant recall ever seeing White get utterly cooked like that stop and go

 

[jablo1312]

nice double from hauser to end the quarter. not alone here but im starting to get concerned about horford's ability to keep up defensively.

 

[ifmanis5]

Scal blaming it on rust.

 

[OnWisc]

Scal blaming it on rust.

Like the demise of Marty Hart’s marriage.

 

[OnWisc]

Horford might’ve got away with one there.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

The thing that is maddening about the occasional lack of movement is that it really doesn’t take that much to get the defense out of position and create open looks. Jrue just did it by very little movement and a few quick passes saw him wide open.

 

[Just a bit outside]

I don’t think of hating the Cavs but Strus and Thompson make it a little easier.
