LeBron James (R wrist) will play tonight vs. SAC.

[Meticode]

I was hoping he would play, or at least play through slight discomfort to keep the winning streak going.

[DukeDelonte13]

let's go cavs!!

[Meticode]

Hopefully we see more ball movement than last game.

[LBJ 23]

J.R. :applause:

[CavaliersFTW]

High quality livestream link anyone?

[DukeDelonte13]

J.R. :applause:


funny as f*ck. He's trying to get CJ miles' sloppy seconds on allie. :oldlol: :oldlol:

[Uncle Drew]

lets do dies

[Uncle Drew]

Mozgod.

[Meticode]

Great ball movement so far to start the game.

[VengefulAngel]

PnR with Kyrie and Love is deadly.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Love trynna get 55

[BigTicket]

Nice to see Kevin get off to a good start, he has been strugling lately.

[DukeDelonte13]

Love with a 16 point quarter cookin right now.

[VengefulAngel]

Wow, what a pass by Lebron. K love with 16 :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[RedBlackAttack]

Beautiful basketball. When Love is playing well, this whole offense is taken to a whole different level.

How can you help off of LeBron or Kyrie?

[StrongLurk]

Love warming up for the Twolves. Crazy pass by Bron.

[lilteapot]

What a beautiful pass by LeBron. Almost too creative, he almost lost it

[SpaceJammeR]

any links to the game?

That's what I'm watching

[StrongLurk]

Bron makin sure he has his patented wtf first quarter every game.

[StrongLurk]

Jeezus Bron:facepalm. 2 missed shots and 3 turnovers last 5 possessions. Had an easy score there too. I'm calling this the first game he doesn't score 10 points and breaks his streak.

[RedBlackAttack]

Cavs don't even look like the same team defensively as the first couple months of the season. Swarming.

[Meticode]

Will be surprised if Love gets more than 25 in the game. He always has good first quarters then slowly disappears throughout the game.

[DukeDelonte13]

Cavs don't even look like the same team defensively as the first couple months of the season. Swarming.


they looks like they are having fun out there too. Cavs should go bowling more often.

[Meticode]

Glad to see them getting Love the ball in the post.

[navy]

Cavs have missed some easy rim shots.

[DukeDelonte13]

Cavs have missed some easy rim shots.


You can say that again... they are getting what they want just not finishing.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Whoever that was on the Kings is making Shaqtin a fool

[lilteapot]

Nice off ball passing by Lebron James

[DukeDelonte13]

cavs are doing a good job of not making anything easy for cousins.

[RedBlackAttack]

Tristan has been playing really well lately. His energy off the bench is a key. We are starting to approach the point where there is a clear rotation and everyone understands their role.

That's why all the hand-wringing early in the season was much ado about nothing. Building a real team the right way was never going to be easy. The seeds are beginning to sprout though.

[VengefulAngel]

The Cav's playing some great basketball, they look like a 60 win team. Shame they've had so many injuries and really hadn't meshed until recently. Could have been battling for the 1st seed.

[RedBlackAttack]

The trade was really the turning point. The roster they started the season with wasn't close to a 60 win team, even without all the injury stuff.

But, I agree... this has looked like one of the best teams in the league for a couple weeks now. Really ever since the new guys got some practice time and the injured guys got healthy. Completely different team.

Based on what I'm seeing, I doubt the Cavs will look the way they did last month again... for a very long time. They were truly atrocious during that span, even before James took his rest.

[J Shuttlesworth]

lol what was that miller/JR handshake thing?

[navy]

Cavs are playing good defense, but the Kings offense is truly horrific. No spacing, terrible movement, isos. It's not a wonder why they dont win games with a 24/12 center.

[RedBlackAttack]

One thing that LeBron has seemingly lost which will likely never come back is his explosion in transition. Don't get me wrong, he's still absolutely lethal in the open court... hell, he might still be the best in the entire league along with Westbrook.

But, there was a time when his breakaways resulted in ferocious dunks literally every time, regardless of who was back and/or the contact. He can't do it that way anymore. A lot of his transition opportunities end these days with the opposition simply fouling as he begins his move... which is fine. But that very, very rarely worked in his younger years.

Just my two cents.

[StrongLurk]

Bron shouldve sat out tonight.

2 dunks and a bunch of bricks.

[navy]

Lebron broke as fvck. Looks like he got his wrist retaped.

[RedBlackAttack]

Nah, he is helping quite a bit. Simply having him on the floor to facilitate the offense opens up Irving and Love to focus on putting the ball through the net. Scoring it literally the last thing we need from him right now.

[Uncle Drew]

Mozgod!!

[navy]

And to think. Mozgov is an average rim protector.

[DukeDelonte13]

mozgov has been a perfect fit for this team.

[DukeDelonte13]

Cavs staff just needs to start whipping basketballs at Mozgov after practices. Dude needs to work on those hands.

[navy]

Jr Smith is gonna keep his starting job. Plays defense.

[StrongLurk]

I understand but the Kings are garbage and they play the wolves next who are shit as well. Should've just rested again these 2 games.

[LBJ 23]

Like I said a few weeks ago, Mozgov with that Birdman effect. Get ready for 20+ games winning streak :pimp:

[BigTicket]

Another solid win for the Cavs. Time to give the starters some rest since they need to play again tomorrow.

Please don't jinx. I know they're up by 20, but still 11 minutes left in the game.

[VengefulAngel]

Looks like Lebron is gunning for MVP, stat padding like crazy.

needs to get back some rhythm for tomorrow:coleman:

MVP season is over for him, too many games missed.

If the lead is 15 or more by the 6 minute mark, Blatt should pull him. Rest the wrist, and much needed rest for tomorrow going to the Twin Cities.

[Lebron23]

MVP season is over for him, too many games missed.


AI won the 2001 NBA MVP while only playing 71 games.

[VengefulAngel]

If they go on a big win streak, MVP isn't over for him. Cav's looking good and could get top 2 seed in east.

Say "rest the wrist" really fast 5 times

[Meticode]

Blatt pulled LeBron before the 7 minute mark. Kings just cut lead to 15.

Curry and Harden are at too high a level

[navy]

Blatt pulled LeBron before the 7 minute mark. Kings just cut lead to 15.
Kyrie is coming back.

[navy]

Cavs need a back up point guard though. It's obvious Blatt doesnt trust the bench to give Kyrie and Lebron no fourth quarter minutes.

Dellavedova is trash

[Meticode]

12 point game, Mike Miller giving the Kings points basically.

part of me hopes those mo williams rumors are true. :oldlol:

[VengefulAngel]

Mike Miller and Delly should only play when Lebron is playing.

[Meticode]

Blatt not trusting the bench at all with Irving on the floor. Kings cut it to 12 with 4 minutes left and their whole bench on the floor, Blatt puts LeBron back in the game.

[navy]

Lebron back. lol

[Meticode]

That was beautiful, LeBron drives to the rim, jumps, passed to Iman on the corner, Iman passes to Irving immediately on the wing, Irving immediately passes to J.R. at the top of the three point line, swish. Beautiful.

[Lebron23]

J.R. Smith

:pimp: :pimp: :pimp:

[navy]

Jr Smith and Iman Shumpert for Dion Waiters. :roll:

101-90 Cavs. Solid win. Game was much wider apart than that final score most of the game.

Cavs got to travel to Minnesota tomorrow, hopefully they won't be too tired and can pull that out.

Kings shot 36% from the field.

Chance to get into a double digit win streak think they find a way.

Great play :pimp:

Looks like Shumpert is starting to fit in a bit too. Love needs to find a way to get going after the first quarter though.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Oh shit I though the T-Wolves game was on Sunday. All these back to backs man. Damn :rant

[Uncle Drew]

Rumor has it that the Cavs are close to trading for Mo Gotti. One of my favorite Cavaliers of all time.
