11/20/13 Game Thread: Washington Wizards @ Cleveland Cavaliers, 7:00 PM ET

[Meticode]

Waiters is expected to be back for this game. I want to see the Beal vs Waiters matchup and the Irving vs Wall one.

[TheReturn]

Irving > Wall
Waiters < Beal

Can't pick a winner for this game though.

[Meticode]

It's official, Waiters is on the bench now. :oldlol: God damnit, Brown... C.J. Miles starting at the SG.

[Meticode]

Miles gets hurt somehow. Looks like his right foot area. Waiters checks in 2.5 minutes after the game starts. Wizards sinking every shot, mostly off Cavaliers turn-overs.

[ROCSteady]

Beal has one of the cleanest, purest shots in the league

[MP.Trey]

Down 21-9 early at home. Same old Cavs. :oldlol:

[rknine15]

Wiz playing nice... can they keep it up?

[scott0326]

Damn, Wiz are on fire!

[alenleomessi]

beal-waiters debate still goin on? :lol

[ROCSteady]

Love the way the Wizards are playing.

Good effort on the defensive boards, finding the open man and efficient finishing.

They look great this quarter.

Again, Beal's shot is beautiful

[Meticode]

Beal has one of the cleanest, purest shots in the league
Well like they said before he got drafted. His shot reminds people of Ray Allen.

[ROCSteady]

N they weren't lyin jack. So clean.

[Meticode]

beal-waiters debate still goin on? :lol
Beal hits 3 open shots he's expected to make and you post this bullshit? :oldlol:

[ROCSteady]

Haven't watched the Wizards since like the first week of the season. Seems like a good one to have tuned into.

Washington owes the Cavs some retribution

[ROCSteady]

I've always hated fckin Sideshow Bob. Dude is a pain.


Miss 2 freethrows ho

[scott0326]

I never thought I'd say this, but Wiz need Al Harrington healthy. Vesely and Booker are so useless.

[KingBeasley08]

Wall and Beal is one nice backcourt

btw does anyone have a good stream to this game?

[ROCSteady]

John Ball with 5 assists that quarter

[tontoz]

Maynor is suck.

[rknine15]

Wall is dropin dimes left and right

[MP.Trey]

:facepalm

[scott0326]

Another nice dish by Wall.

Is Bennett so bad he doesn't play or is he injured?

[Meticode]

Another nice dish by Wall.

Is Bennett so bad he doesn't play or is he injured?
He just sucks so bad, so Brown is benching him to observe apparently.

So far the pick hasn't worked out...literally at all in any way. There's literaly been so silver lining so far about that pick.

[rknine15]

I love how were cleaning the glass :applause:

[ROCSteady]

Nene lookin like Wall couple times early in this game.

Sick no look one hand pass & the steal goin coast to coast like butter on toast

[KingBeasley08]

Fastbreak points :bowdown:

[scott0326]

I knew he was doing bad, but holy shit, I just checked his stats. I didn't know he was THAT bad lol.

Nice and1 by Wall

[rknine15]

Wall has 4 steals

[Meticode]

Fast break, Clark gets a wide open look at the elbow three, pump fakes, takes one dribble step and shoots a 21 foot 2 point jumper? :banghead:

[ROCSteady]

It doesn't even bother me that Wall isn't the greatest shooter because he does everything else damn well.

If he gets a consistent J, sheesh.

[MP.Trey]

Worst defensive half this season I'd say. And about par with how our offense has looked so far this season.

So overall... horrible half.

[b1imtf]

Myk Bron pls

[Meticode]

I don't know what the hell is going on.

Bynum played the first 6+ minutes and now Varejao has played since about the 5:50 mark in the first quarter until the end of the second quarter?

[Meticode]

Worst defensive half this season I'd say. And about par with how our offense has looked so far this season.

So overall... horrible half.
Worse than giving up 70 in the first half to the Wolves?

[tontoz]

These two teams got it backwards. The rested home team should have a big advantage over the road team playing the 2nd of a back to back.

[KingBeasley08]

John Wall at the half:
9 points
8 assists
4 steals

:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[rknine15]

Bynum looks slow the pace of the game isn't for him

2 bad possession in a row for Wall...

[Meticode]

These two teams got it backwards. The rested home team should have a big advantage over the road team playing the 2nd of a back to back.
You wouldn't understand. You're not a Cavaliers fan.

[MP.Trey]

Worse than giving up 70 in the first half to the Wolves?
Good point. I must have kinda had that game blocked from memory cause of how much of a stinker that one was.

[Meticode]

Good point. I must have kinda had that game blocked from memory cause of how much of a stinker that one was.
This is pretty close though. Considering...

1.) We're at home.

2.) The Wizards are playing a back-to-back and the Cavaliers had 3 days of rest.

[Meticode]

Beal has looked good. The offense the way it's ran really puts him in position to take good shots.

The Cavaliers on the other hand look like chickens with their heads cut off. That Mike Brown offense.

[Take Your Lumps]

How do you NOT play your #1 pick at all when playing against the Wizards? I don't care how bad he's played...you gotta give him some burn and at least let him try and feel his way through those struggles.

What a shitty coach. :facepalm

[Meticode]

I don't even want the Cavaliers to make a run anymore. I want to see how bad the Wizards can beat us. So far 64-38. I hope the Wizards get a 40 point lead. This coach and team doesn't deserve to be on the floor right now. Makes me sicker than watching the Cavaliers pre-2003 when you see all this talent on the team and you have players that have no f*cking direction and a coach that paces around with his hands on his hips wondering what the f*ck he's doing.

BRB, going to post on Gilbert's Twitter on what a stupid f*cking move it was signing Brown back as head-coach.

[Meticode]

Cavs getting boo'd. Servest hem right. Irving has 1 second on the clock and has a chance to shoot it and he passes it back to Clark? WTF...

[coin24]

The wizards are looking like the 7-8 seed I thought they would be before the season, beal is a beast:applause:
Wtf is going on with the cavs.. Nice 24sec violation:facepalm

[Meticode]

Nothing is going on with the Cavaliers. We're just this bad. It isn't going to magically get better. Brown is still going to sit there and do the same shit he's been doing and at post-game interviews say "I don't know what I was doing. I was just doing it on the fly."

I'm so close to just turning the game off and not watching another Cavaliers game until Brown is fired.

[GOBB]

If Cleveland mortgaged the future for Bynum they still would be where they are today or no? :roll:

Perfect game to give Bennett some burn, or is he injured?
Yeah not sure why they resigned that clown, he has no idea..

Back to the Knicks game

[rknine15]

Wall with the dunk over bynum

[Meticode]

Perfect game to give Bennett some burn, or is he injured?
Yeah not sure why they resigned that clown, he has no idea..

Back to the Knicks game
No, he just sucks ass so much. Why put him in a 30 point loss?

[RedBlackAttack]

I've caught a grand total of, like, 3 minutes of this game... But every time I walk past the TV in the office, the Wizards are getting an open shot/layup. I just happened to walk by a second ago as Wall waltzed right down the lane for a dunk with no one within five feet of him.

:oldlol:

This team is woefully pathetic at this point.

Let's get the Riggin' for Wiggins train going, guys. Woot, woot!

[tontoz]

Where's PB? :oldlol:

[coin24]

No, he just sucks ass so much. Why put him in a 30 point loss?

To get some shots up, try build his confidence up or something..
Better than just sitting him, he won't get any better like that..

[GOBB]

Where's PB? :oldlol:

Somewhere in a club, VIP giving a head knod to an athlete. :roll:

Why? He sucks. He's not going to fit with this team long-term. Horrible ****ing pick. Might as well trade him for money at this point.

[RedBlackAttack]

umad?

[coin24]

Personally I think waiters and Bennett were idiotic picks.. Someone might be stupid enough to trade for Bennett if he can show something..

[Meticode]

umad?
No, furious. Well...not so much right now. Our bench players came in and made a 11-2 run.

[tontoz]

Wall should be fined for every long 2 he takes with more than 5 seconds on the clock.

[B-Easy8]

Why? He sucks. He's not going to fit with this team long-term. Horrible ****ing pick. Might as well trade him for money at this point.

TT hasn't made a FG tonight and shoots 45% on the year.

Maybe if Bennett got as many chances as TT does he would succeed.

[tontoz]

Beal making everything from 3, missing everything from 2.

[KingBeasley08]

Beal is an absolute stud. I wanna win but imagine if the Wiz sucked one more year and got Wiggins. Hoooooooly shiiit

[Meticode]

TT hasn't made a FG tonight and shoots 45% on the year.

Maybe if Bennett got as many chances as TT does he would succeed.
Yes, let's start Bennett. Might as well, team ****ing sucks anyway.

[b1imtf]

Mike Brown is ****ing dense. The game is beyond lost, play Bennett ffs

[RedBlackAttack]

No, furious. Well...not so much right now. Our bench players came in and made a 11-2 run.
I've never used that phrase in my life... seemed like the perfect opportunity. :oldlol:

I could feel your anger through the computer screen. I'm pretty shocked at how bad this team is right now. We need to figure something out or we really will be in the running for Wiggins... which is beyond pathetic at this point.

[RedBlackAttack]

Bennett will not play until he gets in better shape. That's been made obvious, guys.

EDIT: And he's in! F#ck me.

[ROCSteady]

Cavs have looked very poor. The Wizards look like a top 3 seed against them this game. We all know that's not what they are.


How is Cleveland this bad with some good players?


Oh yea... Mike Brown. Shoulda known, Lakers are my 1A team.

I think I could devise a better offensive gameplan than Mike Brown

[scott0326]

Eric Maynor is garbage

[rknine15]

Wiz gonna blow it

[tontoz]

Beal has been gunshy about taking it to the basket. He took some bad falls last year trying to dunk on guys and it looks like he just isn't driving at all any more.

[ROCSteady]

Geez Eric Maynor is the worst player on either team. Just brutal.

[alenleomessi]

my god waiters is the most horrible player i have ever seen

[KingBeasley08]

Offense is stalling

[ROCSteady]

Vesely blockin Bennett made me lol.


Lead only 13 tho now. WTF

[scott0326]

Wizards are about to blow this. SMH

[Meticode]

Amazing the Cavaliers cut it to 13 because the bench unit out there is hustling and showing effort.

I really want Dellavadova to be a part of the second unit rotation.

[rknine15]

yeah it's that time where the wiz just forget how to play basketball

[RedBlackAttack]

F#ck the starters... Seriously.

Let the bench play this out.

[Meticode]

my god waiters is the most horrible player i have ever seen
Yea, you were right. He's a f*cking scrub man. Congrats, now get your merry f*cking ass out of this thread with you negativity.

[ROCSteady]

Somewhere in a club, VIP giving a head knod to an athlete. :roll:

Somebody please link that thread. Classic

[scott0326]

Anthony Bennett lmao

[KingBeasley08]

:lol at Bennett's airball

[Meticode]

Bennett airballs that shit. Got boo'd from Cleveland.

[Take Your Lumps]

Ouch, Tony.

[ROCSteady]

Bennett with the glory airball.

What's his contract?

[scott0326]

Vesely is having a very nice game tonight.

[tontoz]

Bennett :lol

Someone must have opened the doors and let the breeze in.

[b1imtf]

Bennet must be feeling awful

[alenleomessi]

Yea, you were right. He's a f*cking scrub man. Congrats, now get your merry f*cking ass out of this thread with you negativity.
your first pick is right there too
man i feel sad for you guys.. gotta suck

Noel sitting on the bench rehabbing his knee would've more benefial for the Cavaliers than what Bennett has given us. Sims has played SOLID when he's had opportunities this year and he would've gotten a lot of minutes. But no, we have Anthony Bricket on our team.

[ROCSteady]

Cleveland should have never changed their uniforms.


Shoulda kept the Lebron 60 wins Days font.

[RedBlackAttack]

Cleveland should have never changed their uniforms.

Nah, they had to go.

[ROCSteady]

Why? Bad memories? Change identity?

Their uniforms now are so bland and uninspired.


Wow the Wizards may really blow this game.

[alenleomessi]

You're annoying.
but right

[tontoz]

No lead is big enough for the Wizards.

[scott0326]

What the hell are you doing Wizards?!

[ROCSteady]

[scott0326]

This is pathetic

[Meticode]

In the last quarter Dellavedova has turned into NBA first team defense. :roll:

[tontoz]

Are they really going to choke away the game again.

[rknine15]

yeah same old ****in wiz playing only 3 quarters

[b1imtf]

Noel sitting on the bench rehabbing his knee would've more benefial for the Cavaliers than what Bennett has given us. Sims has played SOLID when he's had opportunities this year and he would've gotten a lot of minutes. But no, we have Anthony Bricket on our team.
I know it's early but this really looks like a botched pick for you :(

Kyrie time

[Meticode]

When Delly denied that ball and stayed with his man the whole time I was pounding my first. I don't even I ever been that excited over a player playing defense before.

[KingBeasley08]

Wiz have a 17 pt lead. My computer randomly shuts down and has to reset. Resets, reconfigures, and eventually comes back.

4 point lead.

:wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Such a Cavs game.

Always bumming and then comeback in the 4th.

[coin24]

Nice travel waiters:facepalm

[ROCSteady]

Why is Washington just giving Irving the lane the entire quarter?


Don't make them work for the shot or anything...


This almost constitutes as a 'bad win.'

Letting 27 point lead get down to 4 when Cleveland looked so eopt most of the game?

[scott0326]

Good game Cavs fans.

[rknine15]

Nice run by the cavs but just wasn't enough

:cheers: 1-1 Cav fans

[Meticode]

Another game where we claw our way back in the fourth quarter. I could be wrong, but I think all of our games has been pretty much fighting our way from behind the whole time.

Here's the question...

Are the Cavs just playing horribly for 3 1/2 quarters and then playing the way they should all game in the final 6 minutes... Or, are the Wizards playing great for 3 1/2 quarters and then terrible for the final 6?

I guess it can be looked at differently depending on your perspective, but I don't think either teams' fanbase comes away from this one all that happy.

Ugh. These were supposed to be two teams fighting for the playoffs, not two teams who consistently see which can out "bad" the other.

Cavs looked horrible most of the game playing offense while the Wiz were chruning like ur grandaddy's Caddy.

It all flipped. Wiz can't buy a bucket, Wall shooting like some kind of first option, which he isn't.

I'm not saying the Cavs didn't get better but there is no excuse to let a lead like that get widdled so quickly.

Reeks of the same young, immature crap over and over again.

[ROCSteady]

a win is a win but that forth quarter :banghead:

Yea def coulda ended worse but it would be nice to finish a game and not coast.

Up by almost 30 and the Cavs were a couple mental mistakes (travels, pass too high) from tying.


Def appreciate the win but Whitman needs to get effort all 4 quarters if these guys want to progress and eventually be a playoff team

Can't speak for the Cavs because I don't watch them, but the Wiz kids should be probably 6-5 if they haven't blown leads inside 3 mins. Like BLOWWWWN...I'm talkin up 10 vs. OKC with 2:30 to go. The team, as are most teams in Washington, are historically bad in clutch moments (outside of prime G-bert)

[RedBlackAttack]

Another game where we claw our way back in the fourth quarter. I could be wrong, but I think all of our games has been pretty much fighting our way from behind the whole time.
We actually had a big second half lead against the Bobcats. We pulled a Washington in that one.

[Meticode]

We actually had a big second half lead against the Bobcats. We pulled a Washington in that one.
Pretty much all of our games except for one then.

[Meticode]

I'm posting on RealCavsFans and here are some sad posts...


Maann. Went to the game with my dad. Had SUITE-level seets. Never had anything this nice before. Never seen sports so close in my life. Somehow, we ended up leaving early. The team had no energy, the arena had no energy. It was just so damn boring and waste of time. Come on, Cavs. This season is really bumming me out.

This one really bothered me...


Same situation here. I was center court ten rows from the floor but left at the start of the 4th... I've never seen so much arguing between the coach and players on a Cavs teams as even Tristan was yelling back and forth with Brown.

People can say what they want but the players need to man up and realize Mike Brown is here to stay so they either need to buy into his system or get used to losing. It's mainly on Kyrie though. He talks so much about how the great players come to play EVERY SINGLE NIGHT but he has been the model of inconsistency thus far.

Anyways, hopefully we get it together at some point soon.

[RedBlackAttack]

The fans take their cues from the players. When the team was making that run in the final minutes, the arena looked electric. These fans will stick it out... Always have, always will. This is Cleveland. We've dealt with a lot worse before.

Brown needs to make a statement to these kids. If that means bringing the entire starting unit off the bench in the next game, so be it. I feel immaturity on the roster is causing a lot of the problems. Guys are fighting against the tide.

There's no point in it. Either buy-in or GTFO. That goes for everyone. You saw how much better the team played when Delly came on the floor and laid everything on the line on every play. That's the kind of energy all of these guys should have and, frankly, that was a staple of Brown's 2006-10 Cavs teams.

Outside of James, they may have not been the most talented roster in the league, but they scrapped. This team actually does have the talent... they need to man-up. Plain and simple.

[Meticode]

Bill Simmons' on describing a Zach Randolph last three pointer against the Cavaliers years ago. Someone described one of Earl Clark's three pointers in the same fashion this game...

Read this, Simmons makes this hilarious...


So, Gordon is inbounding the ball from the left hashmark near midcourt. Thornton, Novak and Randolph are stacked at the top of the key. Baron is under the basket. Thornton cuts through to the left corner. One Mississippi. Obviously, he's not getting the ball. Baron starts moving up toward the top of the key, only the Cavs know he's getting the ball -- (two Mississippi) -- so they block his way. Everything is congested. The fans start panicking. Three Mississippi. Baron accelerates past the 3-point line, only LeBron sees him and jumps in the way so he can't get the ball. This is an awesome play. Four Mississippi. Gordon finally passes to Randolph, who takes two dribbles and …

(Oh no.)

Picks up his dribble and …

(Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!)

Launches a 28-foot 3-pointer with a hand in his face. His third air-balled 3 of the night. Actually, it was more than an air ball -- it almost killed the ball boy.

Cavs ball, 1.8 seconds left.

The fans are in disbelief. Randolph's teammates are in disbelief. Dunleavy is making a face that my friend Sal later describes as "A face I have never seen a human being make before." What ensued in the next 20 seconds could best be described like this: Imagine being trapped in one of those big hospital elevators with eight other people. One of them pulls his pants down and just starts going to the bathroom -- not No. 1 but No. 2. At that specific moment, the doors open for the next floor. How fast would everyone else in the elevator flee for the door? Lightning-fast, right? Like, Usain Bolt-level fast, right? That was the entire stadium after Z-Bo's air ball. He basically took a dump on the 3-point line.

[andremiller07]

Bennett to me in terms of attitude/effort/mental state looks a lot to me like Thomas Robinson on the Kings which is not a good thing, both in there rookie season go out on the court, don't really care and take really low% shots and are terrible finishing on the inside.

As far as the game Nene should get some All-Star consideration he's raped the Cavs frontline both times this year, Beal until Delly went beastmode on him was unreal and Wall had good impact.

The current Cavs in terms of the way they play reminded me of last year Kings which is not a good thing, the offense is a mess and they are trying to play D but don't have the roster personal to do so........They been super disappointing so far for me.

I pretty much agree with your assessment thus far, but Delly's effort deserves a more comprehensive breakdown.

Beal was killing us all night. Finally, Brown calls Delly's number near the end of the third quarter. The entire Cavs' team immediately shows more effort/intensity than it had all night. Sims was a big part of that, too.

But, there was a series of about four consecutive defensive plays by Delly midway through the fourth quarter that was the main reason the team was able to get back into the game.

First, he stayed in Beal's hip pocket off the ball, forcing an errant pass/turnover. Then, he contested a Beal three-pointer so thoroughly, it resulted in an airball. On the next Wiz possession, he forced Beal to pick up his dribble and then forced a turnover/fastbreak by obstructing an entry pass to Nene.

Finally, on the very next defensive possession, Delly had the play where he denied Beal the ball on that dribble handoff, forcing a 24-second violation.

Kyrie will get all the credit for his scoring 18 points in the final 4:30 or whatever it was, but Delly was the only reason the team had a chance at the end.

Here's the sequence of defensive plays I'm talking about....

Delly. :applause:
Delly for me impacted the game more than any other Cavs player and the biggest knock on him coming into the NBA was athletic ability/defense and he blow those two off like they were nothing 2night. I would not mind seeing more Delly/Irivng on the floor at the same time, while Waiters is talented I don't see the fit with him atm with Kyrie imo he could and should be the Cavs super sub (but they bought in Jack which makes it even more confusing).

Maybe a trade might not be to far away what do you think RBA? Cavs got lots of good little pieces they can move around they are to talented to be performing the way they are new coach or no new coach. If I were the Cavs I would dangle Waiters and something for Gordan Hayward

[no pun intended]

[DukeDelonte13]

something i've noticed over the past few games.

Can anybody grab a f*cking defensive rebound? Cavs gave up so many damn second chance opportunities last night it was disgusting.


Delly was the bright spot. TT had probably his worst game all season. Dion's shot was off. Kyrie needs to get more aggressive in the first half.

WTF is up with Nene last night? He looked like he couldn't miss. Beal had a great night because he was left wide open so much. I can't count the number of wide open threes he knocked down. He looks like the real deal though.

Gotta give props to the Wiz for moving the ball well last night.
