Game Thread 2018-19 Season Game #45 | Cleveland Cavaliers vs Portland Trailblazers | Jan 16th, 2019

People keep trying to explain the 3rd quarter but I think it is pretty obvious teams don't take them seriously, but when they do, the game gets out of hand

The only one not taking it serious is Osman.

Wow...end of the third and only 1 page of comments...ah I remember the good old days

Post LeBron sugar high crashes always take a year to recover from

Could have been worse....

Not sure what TT's story is. He had that series of games where he was playing really well, but recently...meh.

Zizic is needed against bigger guys like Nurkic.

Portland shooting some amazing shots . They are living up to their reputation tonight.

Zizic is looking really agressive. Needs to be that way every game. He needs some time with Love, he would kill it.

He got taken off the floor. Aminu cooked him and so did some guy I don't know

 

[JrRD35]

Payne and Zizic building chemistry.

 

[Cavatt]

Zizic looked nervous and I know it's cause he is tired but he was to keep rolling

This scrub Payne has shown me more in the last 5 minutes than Sexton has all season.

 

[JrRD35]

Give em the pain PAYNE!

It is amazing Ante is able to score as well as he does considering our guards suck at knowing how to use a traditional big other than using them for screens.
Also, I really hate watching Clarkson play basketball. Like I get that he scores but he does it in the most unappealing ways possible

 

[Cavatt]

Payne had 1 bad game? He looks like he could be the athletic guy to play with Delly.

He has looked good. Is it possible he has just been hurt?

The worst thing to me is that there is this whole section of basketball missing from his play book. Like he could get the ball to Ante with a point blank shot almost any time he wants . He is so stupid

I doubt any teams are scouting the Cavs right now
-everyone knows we suck
-we don't have any good trade targets and the ones we do are known quantities (TT, Love) or folks no one really cares about (Hood, Clarkson, Burcs)

 

[Cavatt]

Collin is fighting over those screens but Nurkic is huge. Mcullum and Lillard are just such good shooters they don't need much room

 

[JrRD35]

Still remember this kid Sexton calling Anfernee Hardaway's son trash. But he is looking trash at the moment.
