[Proctor]

Close game either way. My random predictions: Caldwell-Nope gonna drop 23 and Drummond with 16/21.

[CavaliersFTW]

I will be surprised if Drummond can rebound the way he has been against the Cavs front line.

Love. Thompson. Varejao. Mozgov... with LeBron as small forward.

That's the most talented rebounding front line in the NBA.

[Gus Hemmingway]

Jackson is smoking Mo :facepalm

[VengefulAngel]

Wow that Lebron airball...

Anyways nice start by LBJ.

[SpaceJammeR]

anyone got links to game

[Naero]

Andre Drummond has notched 5 rebounds already; that's greatly counteractive against perhaps the best rebounding front-court in the NBA in the Cavaliers, which negates one of their biggest upsides over other teams.

LeBron also seems to have been slowly re-establishing his three-point-shooting efficience, as it carries into this game.

[Naero]

When are teams going to realize that they need to be more attentive to Tristan Thompson than usual whenever Dellavedova is sharing floor time with him? :facepalm

[Gus Hemmingway]

Lob over Drummound, TWICE :cheers:

[Nuff Said]

Firstrow has had every single nba game for years now. Why don't ppl use them?

[RedBlackAttack]

When are teams going to realize that they need to be more attentive to Tristan Thompson than usual whenever Dellavedova is sharing floor time with him? :facepalm
Delly has actually been attacking the rim a little more recently, because teams had been flocking to TT as soon as the P&R started. It's just difficult to stop because those two run it so well, especially when they're surrounded by shooting.

I feel like Delly is one of the most improved players in the league when you consider where he was a year ago. I know his development really started late last season and in the playoffs, but he has willed himself into a legitimately important role player off the bench on a championship contending team.

I don't think too many people saw that coming. I know I didn't.

King.

[Uncle Drew]

That reminded me of the Bucks game of some years ago. Deep in the Bradley Center.

[Gus Hemmingway]

LeGAWD :applause: :applause:

[VengefulAngel]

Lebron looks quick as fucc

[stalkerforlife]

Bran gonna choke so hard.

ZERO assists.

LOL

[RedBlackAttack]

LeBron is tuned in tonight. No early season malaise this year.

Meanwhile, the Pistons are employing the "let's throw the ball up randomly around the basket and let Drummond tip it in" offense with great success. How was this guy not the 2nd pick in that draft again?

An absolute monster of a human being. Mozgov is really big and usually swallows up physical centers. Not against this guy. To be fair, Mozgov is still way out of shape and has looked completely off his game so far due to coming back from injury, but still...

Drummond plays grown man basketball.

[Rocketswin2013]

LeBron being this good with so much mileage just defies logic. Unbelievable.

Drummond is making Mozgov look like some recreational player, in a few year's if he refines his game he'll be very very scary.

I was about to say that K love needs to be involved more, cue a post up and 3.

Can't say I'm surprised... Mozgov has been horrible so far this year on both ends of the floor. He's still catching up after missing training camp, etc. after recovering from surgery.

He is totally out of rhythm and out of shape.

That isn't to minimize Drummond though... he's scary athletic/big.

[Naero]

Andre Drummond is my early-season favorite for Most Improved Player of the Year. He's been the best revelation to me this season so far.

[Magic 32]

23 point half. 1 point lead.

https://d1o50x50snmhul.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/big-impact!-logo_purple_siz.jpg

[Proctor]

Marcus Morris takes every fu**king late clock shot. Always. It's a rule of life.

It's like those Suns teams from years back who had Nash, Richardson, and Turkoglu, yet Channing Frye always threw up the shot. :roll:

[Rocketswin2013]

Fcking laggy stream. I don't even know who or what to bitch about. ****ing one point game at the half and I was sure Drummond tipped that ball too hard for it to go in..

[D-Wait]

Dat three by Lebron :facepalm I hate these rushed shots to ensure 2-for-1 opportunities...

[Funktion]

Zero Assists? So alpha

[Gus Hemmingway]

Lebron already outscored Kobe's "season highlight game" on 6 less shots :roll: :roll:

[Gus Hemmingway]

spashhhhhhh

[AcquiringSteak]

Lebron's team talk definitely motivated the squad, he was really pissed off after the loss to the bucks

[leMVP]

Kevin Love is getting lost on all the defensive rotations resulting in wide open Ilysova every possesion.

[Indian guy]

Love has some serious issues finishing inside shots if it's not a post-up. It's like he panics or something.

[Proctor]

Can't stand Marcus Morris. He always looks like he has to take a mega shit :facepalm

[Naero]

Another pass bungled by Andre Drummond. :facepalm

It seems that most teams haven't been able to capitalize during most intermissions of LeBron on the bench this season. They definitely don't deserve to win here if they can't.

[Gus Hemmingway]

This stagnate offensive bench from the cavs makes me cringe:facepalm

It's going to be so nice getting Shump and Irving back :applause:

[D-Wait]

:mad: :mad: :mad:

[stalkerforlife]

CHOKE time for Bran.

LOL

[Naero]

Great game by both teams so far. :applause:

Drummond's 17 rebounds = counteractively instrumental against one of the best rebounding front courts in the game, and his team's collective hustle has always managed to nurse the bleeding in a timely manner.

[Rocketswin2013]

JR Smith comes in and the lead is evaporated.

Horribly stupid foul on Morris, and just blew a rotation in embarrassing fashion that leads to a 3. Bench the ****ing idiot. Why does he even get minutes down the stretch? He's worse at literally everything than WIlliams. This guy has made mistakes down the stretch in games since forever. He nearly sabotaged game 2 in the finals.

[Rocketswin2013]

Blatt.

[Naero]

Great game. :applause: Cavaliers always win the fourth-quarter differentials, however, so I'm waging on them to win it in the end

[D-Wait]

The East is such a bloodbath this season

[AlphaWolf24]

WTF happened.....I was just looking at the score like 5 minutes ago and Cle was up 10

[G0ATbe]

Vintage LeBald. Another solid chokejob:bowdown:

[D-Wait]

Mozgov taking the J ? Really? :facepalm

[VengefulAngel]

WTF happened.....I was just looking at the score like 5 minutes ago and Cle was up 10

Lebronze Choke.

[stalkerforlife]

WTF happened.....I was just looking at the score like 5 minutes ago and Cle was up 10

Take one guess...

[bigkingsfan]

Pistons just lost to the entire state of CA and goes home and beat the Cavs. :D

[Magic 32]

The East is such a bloodbath this season

Compared to the usual level sure.

[tragicbronson]

Whole team choked like crazy with LeBron leading the way

[Naero]

The game still isn't over yet, however

[DMAVS41]

Mozgov taking the J ? Really? :facepalm

Kind of happens when Lebron drives in and puts him in a tough spot.

lebron should have pulled the 3 to go 2 for 1....

[AlphaWolf24]

[QUOTE=Naero]The game still isn't over yet, however

[AcquiringSteak]

on yahoo...it says the Cavs lost 98 - 97 :confusedshrug:

turn on the tv lol

[Funktion]

Bran gonna call his teammates again?

[AlphaWolf24]

turn on the tv lol


why? I was watching the Duke/Kent game...I checked the score it said it was over...

now I see it still going..ok cool

[Magic 32]

OT :applause:

Cavs loss :applause:

[Naero]

Clutch free-throw-shooting by Reggie Jackson. :applause: Oklahoma City, who now has the worst squad of players when you crop out the top-three contributors, is sorely missing him.

[Magic 32]

What a pus*y

[stalkerforlife]

LeDefer.

[warriorfan]

LEbald holding the L as he choks on tha D :roll:

[Naero]

Game over. :lol

Thought LeBron would hit the game-tying three-pointer after evincing a killer instinct for most of the season and shooting unconsciously it from earlier in the game, but he regressed back into LePassive mode.

[Trollsmasher]

blatt may the worst playcaller in the world

too much zyklon-b in his brain

[Naero]

LeBron's throwaway turnover symbolizes how his passive mentality effectively threw many games down the stretch. :roll:

[Proctor]

Drive home safe, Cleveland. BEEP BEEP

[Funktion]

Bran with 4 2nd half pts up to the last flaccid layups

[Rake2204]

I usually support James' diverse approach to the game (i.e. always looking for the right play and whatnot), and I was more concentrated on my Pistons than I was on him tonight, but in theory it seems he should have ended up with a lot more than 30 after a 23 point first half, no? I'd love to think the Pistons locked him down, but I'm not sure they're capable of such.
