Game Thread 2018-19 Season Game #61 | Cleveland Cavaliers vs Portland Trailblazers| Feb 25th, 2019

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Pretty impressive game. Absolute fluke shooting game from Portland and we were right there, but got fucked by the refs right at the doorstep on two separate occasions.
 
We went away from Cedi when he was having a great game. It's so frustrating when he's having this good of a game you need to give him the keys for the night and see how he does.
 
Cavs showed fight like their motto. Earlier in the year, would have been a 40 point loss. BeTheFight!

What was it? 3 point game when Love should have drawn a charge from Nurkic, refs miss that easy one, a couple of shots from deep and suddenly a close winnable game was out of reach.

Actually a really good loss. Great effort. And a loss I could live with a lot of these type losses the rest of the year
 
Good game but frustrating. Blazers aren't going to make 18-29 threes very often. Nobody does, but we did give them too many uncontested (or poorly contested). Really need to ramp up the defensive effort to stay with top teams. Still, it seems like progress to me.

4 point play wiped out by review after Kanter ran over Delly trying to get to Nance. Delly would have been shooting to give us the lead.
 
What happened to Zizic? Why so few shots and rebounds?

And if the team needs more defense, why don’t they start Nwaba over Knight? Knight kind of sucks...

Yeah, that was rough. Close ones didn't go our way in the 4th quarter.

Looked to me like Zizic had trouble getting into the flow of the game tonight.

I think they want to get Knight comfortable and showing he has recovered from his knee injury. The bench also was getting rocked when they tried to put 3 PG out there. For Knight's trade value you also don't want him fight for shots with Clarkson. While Knight probably get traded at next year's deadline, there is an outside chance a team will come calling for him in the summer if he plays well these last 20 games.
