Game 16: Cavs @ Hornets, Thursday, November 27, 2015, 7:00 PM EST

I dunno, someone really needs to convince me again that Thompson is a good defender. The great Cody Zeller just walks right by him on the simplest of moves.

The special thing about TT is he can defend a lot of different positions at a mediocre level. So he can switch on to anyone and give below average defense

 

[Zog]

Somehow it is ridiculous how after trailing 90% of the game we are getting consecutive stops and build up a lead, winning the quarter 20-12.

Stupid stupid Blatt.

From following along on my phone, the Cavs were doing basically nothing, and then Lebron came back in and the game totally turned In the Cavs player. People were bitching that TT couldn't guard anyone.

I think it has quite a bit to do with LBJ and less with an ingenious decision Blatt made.

 

[InBoobieWeTrust]

We're flying around and switching everything.

Can't do that with Love at the 5.

Doesn't take away from how good he was tonight or how him battling all-game led us to the point where this line-up can close this game against this particular line-up of this particular team.

 

[cavsfever]

Ugh. That would have been a game winner

 

[3 Ball...GOT IT]

Watching RJ trying to create offense makes me miss Kyrie so much more

Stupid stupid Blatt.

He's been the best player for us tonight. So yes, he is stupid thinking Tristan Thompson on an off night is a better option than an all-star on a good night.

7-12, 18 points, 16 boards. Don't play him! He's been costing us the game tonight.

 

[cavsfever]

Looking very disorganized on our last few offensive possessions

 

[Zog]

Are we going to put Love in the game for this crucial offensive possession?

Nothing ingenious, but we are winning the game after trailing 90% of it and you are not even watching the game. So how you can make a dig at Blatt is beyond me.

 

[red.]

Is that really Blatt's defense? Before we went small, TT hasn't been on a tear. Protecting the rim and playing stellar defense. He was getting piped like everybody else.

Sorry, I'm not buying it. Love 18/16 sitting.

They are playing different positions.
TT is playing at the 5 in the small ball lineup we are running.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

How do you change that call?

 

[3 Ball...GOT IT]

Delly got plowed over. Another missed call by Scott Wall.

 

[redscoon]

Massive charge by Batum.

 

[The Red Viper]

LeBron is clocking one of these refs for sure!
