Cleveland Cavaliers vs Brooklyn Nets Play-in Game Thread

[JSD]

Kyrie is playing out of his mind

[Atzar]

I detest the guy, but man, Kyrie is capable of some really wild stuff on the basketball court.  That shot was nuts.

[Goldstar88]

Yep. Would much rather player Brooklyn than Chicago…

It’s a shame Kyrie is such a nut job. He’s an incredibly good 2nd banana

Man, I gotta say, if Cleveland misses the playoffs entirely they'll have a bone to pick with the league. They go out, earn the 7th seed over 82 games, then have to play a healthy Brooklyn who took half the season off because all they really needed was to finish top-10. One more loss and no more playoffs.

Makes me almost glad we'd get BKN next and a chance to whoop them.

Kyrie looking like the greatest of all time right now. ..

He's very much the NBA equivalent of Chad Johnson (fka Ochocinco). Supreme talent, and has had a very good career, but is still held back from legend status by his antics.

Especially before Ben Simmons is fully acclimated

Kyrie and KD can’t play any better and Cleveland is in striking distance

[Kiorrik]

Hate that Kyrie's a bball god.

Why didn't those talents get given to, idk, Semi Ojele or something.

I think the player you're referencing is Michael Jordan.

He is today. Been really inconsistent lately tho.

The Nets are shooting 59% to the Cavs 35% and are only up 14. This game is screaming for a Cavs run in the second half.

This is one of the rare cases that I agree with Chuck about what’s going on. This game is going down to the wire.

Brooklyn and Chicago are both poor defensive teams so we’d never be out of a game, but the lack of size and depth on the Nets gives us several ways to beat them. I’m relishing the chance to eliminate the Nets this postseason.

Cleveland unraveling. Seems like the moment is too big for them.

They really self-sabotaging here.

Lotta open looks that first half too.
