The Cavs defense helped them with that.

not really.
they missed HEAPS of open 3s

Three out of four games for TT that ahve been really impressive. 14-14 against Chicago, 17-21 against Denver and now 20-13 against L.A. If he can do that 3 out of every 4, we're on to something.

What's encouraging to me is both tonight and the Denver game, Varejao had good games as well. It helps ease the concern that those 2 guys can't be effective together.

The Cavs defense helped them with that.

Yeah definitely. I mean holding a team with an offensive talent like the Clips to under 40% is a good accomplishment. But you don't get to 32% shooting without missing a decent amount of open looks.

they missed heaps of covered. I also question whether you know the difference between a set in offense three and a rsushed three . Cavs need wins they got one. they played hard. Im not sure what your point is. the whole purpose of playing the game is to keep teams from doing what they normally do. Cavs have been averaging 53 points off the bench. they only got 25. once again this is just friggin silly. they scored less points so they loss.

Cavs played a tough physical game on both ends of the game. Thats something that can cause teams to miss open threes and out of their 35 three point attempts sure a few are going to be openbut lets go watch some video and count them.

bro idk what game you were watching but they definitely got lucky with the win tonight.

 

[wuck]

Lot of complaining for a back-to-back win in which the Cavs beat a team with rest that came into the game with a 13-7 record. I thought they would get clobbered by a good team from a much better conference.

I liked how the Cavs hustled, even though they weren't especially efficient. If only they had done that all year long. It wasn't just the Clippers failing tonight.

 

[B3team]

The clippers got all the shots they wanted, just missed wide open 3s. This game should have been a loss, but I'll take it.

Yeah just like the hawks got lucky last night.

Cavs controlled the game. they controlled the pace. they controlled the ryth,. those open threes werent shots they wanted and they shot lousy. If they go in you have a different game. you can go and watch any game and say well that team got lucky this or this would of happened. guess what it didnt. Cavs won. they protected their home game and the game is over. time to move on I enjoyed the game and the win and it was nice to see some tough physical defense.

you cant fault the team to not having to face a situation they didnt get a chance to respond to

I'll be a downer too. The Clippers, w/o reddick, look totally different. They aren't a 13-7 team without him.

Still, when we're 6-13, a win is always a good thing.

 

[Tornicade]

Ill Disagree. Dion and CJ missed alot of shots they normally make. The bigs outplayed their bigs. if The clippers were hitting their shots that changes the dynamic of the game and it changes how the cavs respond. The Clippers couldnt get any stops when they needed to and had to play physical. that impacts a team efficiency

I don't think so. If it wasn't for the reffing nonsense near the end of the 4th, the Cavs lead would be double digits.

The Cavs did play good defense the entire game. Seriously, watch it back. That was the difference maker. It wasn't luck.

 

[OptimusPrime]

True. The Clippers were lucky we didn't win by 30.

 

[The Oi]

God, everybody fuck off already.

Stop being a fan at this point. What's the fun?

 

[Tornicade]

btw the clippers shoot 34% from three as does the Cavs. they were 4-14. so if the Cavs had hit their open looks. they would of blew the doors in

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Glad to see Tristan, Kyrie, Bynum, and Varejao play so well. Don't know how long we can survive on 4-26 shooting from our wings...
