Game Thread: Cavs @ Magic

[Meticode]

So far in the first quarter Magic have been hitting shots and pushing the ball, Cavs have been making bad passes and turning the ball over. 26-14 Orlando with 2:30+ left in the first quarter.

[Uncle Drew]

Road game = no defense. Magic just going 3-on-1 or 4-on-2 in transition all the time.

[Meticode]

Bull crap foul. Ref was behind the defensive players, all of them jumped straight up and Maxiell got caught mid-air and they called a foul for it.

[Meticode]

I don't know how, but even though whenever Bennett touches the ball he looks so unprepared, he's 3/4 from the field with 6 points. :biggums:

[Meticode]

Cavs keep hanging around the 5 to 10 point deficit mark.

[Uncle Drew]

Did Bennett just take a contested 3 with 10 seconds on the shot clock?

[Meticode]

The Cavs were trailing 33-40, over the course of 2 minutes they chipped away at the lead and Jack just tied it 40-40. During this whole time the commentators have done nothing but talk to Dennis Scott and only about Dennis Scott. They've barely referenced the game.

[Meticode]

Did Bennett just take a contested 3 with 10 seconds on the shot clock?
Yes, infact the defender's hand was right in face.

[Fudge]

All the Cavs do is shoot eh? It's not like they have Bynum on the floor or anything.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Yes, infact the defender's hand was right in face.

Did he make it?

[Uncle Drew]

Down by 1 at the half, I'll take it, since we were down 16 at some point in the 1st IIRC. Limit the live ball turnovers and there's no reason not to win. We need a road win.

[Meticode]

Oladipo bangs knees with Varejao. Was on the floor in pain for a couple minutes and he walked it off to the bench...

...during this whole time I'm thinking, "We need to really trade him before his stock just keeps sinking because of injuries."

[Meticode]

Did he make it?
No, he missed the shot. It was a stupid rookie shot, 10 seconds on the shot clock, face up jumper 21 feet from the basket.

[Meticode]

All the Cavs do is shoot eh? It's not like they have Bynum on the floor or anything.
To by fair. Vuvecic denied the ball from him really good. Almost every time they threw the ball into him, the ball would get deflected because of a combination of good defense and the Cavs throwing the ball into the wrong place.

[NattyPButter]

Hope AV is ok cuz i sure dont want to see soft ass Zeller out their.

[Meticode]

Irving quietly having a good game. 16 points, he hit two three pointers in the last minute to make it 50-51 Magic. A lot of his shots are coming to him, he's not forcing a lot. 16 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 turnover in the first half on 50% shooting. Quality game so far.

Guess who has more points than Thomspon, Waiters and Bynum combined in the first half? Anthony Bennett. :oldlol: And we're only down by 1?

Anthony Bennett: 6 points
Thompson + Bynum + Waiters: 3 points

[Meticode]

Hope AV is ok cuz i sure dont want to see soft ass Zeller out their.
Likewise, plus if we want to trade him, he's useless injured.

[Meticode]

Magic commit 3 fouls in literally 15 seconds of play.

[Meticode]

Irving is hot, but Magic or just shitting every single jumper.

[HylianNightmare]

good take by irving

[Meticode]

Oladipo quietly having a great game, not missing anything.

[HylianNightmare]

and good take by oladipo!

[HylianNightmare]

where's jameerthefear at? he should be balls deep in this thread right now

[Meticode]

Nice to see Varejao back on the floor.

Irving 27 points in 25 minutes. 12/20 from the field. 5 assists, 1 turnover.

Cavaliers need to play better defense though. Hopefully they turn that on in the 4th quarter.

[Meticode]

where's jameerthefear at? he should be balls deep in this thread right now
Probably a school night with his friends hanging out or something. Maybe some girl is giving him bad head right now and his eyes are rolling in the back of his head.

[Uncle Drew]

Somehow I have the feeling that we are not going to win this game.

[HylianNightmare]

oh's and aah's from the home crowd

[Meticode]

Somehow I have the feeling that we are not going to win this game.
Well it's not like you're going out on a limb there. We're 1-10 on the road and I think we've had the lead maybe 1-2 minutes this whole game?

I like the Cavaliers fight though, they won't go away.

[HylianNightmare]

Probably a school night with his friends hanging out or something. Maybe some girl is giving him bad head right now and his eyes are rolling in the back of his head.
:roll:

one can only hope.


OT, oladipo is gona have to work over the summer/during this season on driving and that handle, i have watched him fumble the ball and just look loose as hell on allot of situations like that this season

[Meticode]

Second time tonight we shoot a 22 foot two point jumper. Refs are going to take that three away...again...

[Meticode]

Cavaliers are leaving Harkless open all day.

[HylianNightmare]

how has earl clark looked this year?

[Meticode]

how has earl clark looked this year?
Usually lost. He's not worked out well. Maybe it's a new system or something

[Koala bear]

Waiters putting in work.

[Uncle Drew]

Dion is taking over this game.

[Meticode]

Waiters, 7 left minutes in the 4th quarter and has scored 14 points in the quarter.

Dellevadova hits a three to put the Cavs up 5.

[HylianNightmare]

good run by the cavs

[Koala bear]

Kyrie comes in and defers to the hot hand is exactly what this team needs. Putting his ego aside for the win. If Kyrie and Dion can get this worked out then we could have a great backcourt for a long time.

[Meticode]

Magic starting to collapse in with 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

[Uncle Drew]

Give the ball to Delly and get out of the f-ing way.

[Meticode]

Delly with another three to put them up by 10.

[Meticode]

Damn, refs won't let them play.

[Uncle Drew]

Kyrie :facepalm Stop bitching and get your ass back to defense.

[Meticode]

Irving drives to the hoop in the teeth of the defense and loses the ball and Nelson hits a three. Hopefully Irving doesn't go Hero Ball mode to f*ck it up.

[D-Wait]

magic and their friggin 3 pointers :mad:

[Uncle Drew]

Loving the defensive effort from Dion to go after the block.

[Meticode]

:eek: Irving with that cross.

[Jameerthefear]

At least Oladipo is playing well.

[Uncle Drew]

Kyrie back to back 30 pt games.

[Jameerthefear]

Vicotr :applause:

[Meticode]

If I was coach I would ripping into Irving so hard right now.

He turns the ball over with a lazy over the head side pass and lets Oladipo get the steal, then that very same possession and get's lazy and lets Oladipo get a layup, then that next possession Irving shoots an airball three with like 15 seconds on the shot clock. Stupid, stupid. stupid three plays in a row.

[D-Wait]

:applause: Irving and Waiters combine for 52 points...

that kyrie airball though :facepalm

[Uncle Drew]

One stop and this game should be over. /jinx

[JimmyMcAdocious]

:applause: Irving and Waiters combine for 52 points...

that kyrie airball though :facepalm

Whose alt?

[Jameerthefear]

Well Oladipo played well and we lost, so good game. :applause: No but seriously good game Cavs fans :D

[Uncle Drew]

Hey Chris Grant,

Never, ever trade Varejao

Thanks in advance

[Uncle Drew]

What the f is wrong with you Nicholson?

[D-Wait]

Whose alt?

:oldlol: no alt, long time lurker here, just starting to post...

[PleezeBelieve]

Dion bout to punch that nikka in the face! :roll:

[Meticode]

Nicholson just mean mugged Andy, then he flopped out of bounds and acts like his left knee is hurt. :roll:

[RedBlackAttack]

Nicholson just mean mugged Andy, then he flopped out of bounds and acts like his left knee is hurt. :roll:
Um, that was dirty as hell.

The shove came 2 seconds after the layup. What the hell is he doing?

[Uncle Drew]

Somehow I have the feeling that we are not going to win this game.
I'm happy to be wrong. 3 in a row, road win. :pimp:

[Meticode]

Um, that was dirty as hell.

The shove came 2 seconds after the layup. What the hell is he doing?
He pushed him, but Varejao so over-exaggerated it. He almost did a tumble roll on the ground. :oldlol: It's obviously he pushed him, when he got confronted he backed off because he knew what he did.

[RedBlackAttack]

I love Dion's swagger so much. He and Bynum give this team an attitude. Big win tonight, fellas. Big win.

That makes 5-of-6 and a rare road victory.

Fire Mike Brown?

[Uncle Drew]

Flagrant 2 :oldlol: That's too much.

[RedBlackAttack]

He pushed him, but Varejao so over-exaggerated it. He almost did a tumble roll on the ground. :oldlol: It's obviously he pushed him, when he got confronted he backed off because he knew what he did.
I don't know. He looked legitimate hurt to me. Remember, he banged knees in the second quarter.

That was just flat-out unnecessary on Nicholson's behalf.

[Uncle Drew]

Aren't we in 8th seed now?

[Meticode]

Fire Mike Brown?
Yes.

[Meticode]

I don't know. He looked legitimate hurt to me. Remember, he banged knees in the second quarter.

I'm not saying he wasn't hurt. Also he banged his other knee in earlier. I'm just saying Varejao rolled a little more onto the floor than he needed too probably. It's clear it's a ejection call because he did shove him.

[Uncle Drew]

Wooooo!

[Meticode]

Aren't we in 8th seed now?
Tied with Bulls unless they win tonight, then we're still ninth half a game back. They lose we are half a game up on them.

Wait, nevermind, I'm so confused.

[Uncle Drew]

Oladipo doe, nice statline.

http://puu.sh/5LUo9.png

[Jameerthefear]

Oladipo doe, nice statline.

http://puu.sh/5LUo9.png
Yessss. very efficient. stat sheet stuffer :D

[Meticode]

Oladipo doe, nice statline.

http://puu.sh/5LUo9.png
Damn...

26 points at 69% shooting, 3/4 from three, 5/5 from 5 rebs, 4 assists, 3 blocks, 4 steals.

[Meticode]

Yessss. very efficient. stat sheet stuffer :D
Where the f*ck we're you? Please go back in the thread and look at my comment earlier.

[Jameerthefear]

Probably a school night with his friends hanging out or something. Maybe some girl is giving him bad head right now and his eyes are rolling in the back of his head.
:D sadly this wasn't the case and i just fell asleep too early :roll: :roll:

[RedBlackAttack]

Aren't we in 8th seed now?
Should be, yes.


Yes.

I know I'm not going to change your mind because you really dislike the guy, however...

I believe this is the first time we've won 5-of-6 since James left. Also, the Cavs were 4-17 at this stage in the season last year.

To put things in even better perspective, we didn't get our 9th win of the season until Jan. 9... and we lost the next three.

Considering how this season started, I don't see how you can't be pretty happy at this point.

[Meticode]

:D sadly this wasn't the case and i just fell asleep too early :roll: :roll:
Did you jerk it? I get really sleepy too after I bust a good juicy load in my belly button as well. I pull up my boxer briefs and turn over on my side and sleep like a baby...


...then I wake up and **** smells like fish.

I'm happy with the player growth and chemistry. I just don't feel Brown is the long-term answer for this game.
