Game 44: Hornets @ Cavs, Friday, January 23, 2014, 7:30 PM EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Thought we'd get a little nice press over this one. But nobody gonna be talking about it tomorrow because....

KLAY THOMPSON SCORED 37 POINTS IN A QUARTER!!!!!!!!! :eek:
 
The Cavs (by my measures (a.k.a.; they could be wrong)) are now:

10-2 when recording 25+ assists
and
7-0 when recording 27+ assists

They tallied 29 tonight (In case anyone is wondering, their season high is 39 in a blowout win against the Hawks). Great game, by the way!

Onto the next one... the return of Dion!!
 
Every Cav scored tonight. Absolutely dominating performance on both sides of the floor this season.
 
Cleveland is slowly but surely figuring this thing out and its showing glimpses of just how good this squad can be. I could go on and on about the individual offensive match ups tonight but I got to go team-wide when it comes to that brilliant offense.

At one point, the lead was at 49. That is hard to be up that much on another professional basketball team and I felt Cleveland made the step in the right direction without removing their foot off the pedal because in the past, this would have gotten down to 15 or so at one point. That offense in the first half was amazing to witness, at one point they went on a 14-0 run in an overall 24-4 spurt. I also knew this squad had to fasten the game up to be consistently dominating and that was evident tonight with 27-9 in the fastbreak category.

Good intro for Shumpert. He defended and looked good on offense. Mosgov is the real gem in my eyes and JR is light years more consistent than Waiters. Griffin looking like a genius right now, for sure.










I got to say, I am kind of getting fed up with the type of coverage Fox Sports Ohio is doing with Cavaliers games. I am consistently seeing shaky camera work throughout the games when one particular cameraman decides to zoom in. If you can’t transition smoothly then don’t do it. Simple concept yet lost. Also just the lack of fundamental direction for the telecast, showing highlights of plays we just saw, a close up of a player or anything else that completely misses a significant amount of time in a play. For example, it’s a jump ball. How the hell do you come back from commercial and not show that? Come on. I brought this up in the last game thread but its becoming more and more consistent as the season goes on.

is Ballstreams working for anyone? I get a failure to connect on all the on-deamnd streams
 
One small thing - really liked Delly's minutes tonight. Will go unnoticed but I liked how he made a point to get Haywood a basket late in the game and how he kept the offense rolling in garbage time. I know he has had his struggles this year but I still love the guy, he always brings the effort.

Still hope that Sixers loss doesn't come back to bite us in the butt. That loss was a$$. Delly cost us big-time there.
 
Urban can motivate a sloth into marathon and have it win. The guy just is just something else.

I mean, did you watch the Trailers that Ohio State Athletics put out for each game this season? Just his quotes in those videos made me want to throw pads on and go to war for him. Just a master motivator in every sense of it. Milks every ounce of worth from his teams.
 
That's his psychology background. He plays peeps like a fiddle!

I know because my wife is a psychologist, and she tries to mind control/manipulate me all the time... but that shyt doesn't work on me. I'm wise to her little games! In fact, the last ti.... oh crap, I didn't notice what time it is! Shoot, the wife said she'll bring me pizza tonight if I get all the laundry folded! Gotta go fellas! Whoo whoo, pizza night!
