Cleveland Cavaliers vs Brooklyn Nets Play-in Game Thread

[nickagneta]

I don't think we should confuse Cleveland's lack of scoring with Brooklyn playing good defense. Cavs have missed many wide open threes and about 10 shots(maybe more) from within 3 feet of the basket.

Cavs have played terrible offense and aren't doing what their coach told them to do...run the ball and be aggressive. This game could easily be tied if Cleveland was shooting even a little better

Kyrie in Boston is gonna be a sight hopefully the crowd doesn't boo him we don't need to throw gasoline on the fire.

No chance in hell the Boston crowd lets up on him.

I wonder if we see hack a Drum employed early

I like a few of the pieces on this Cleveland team, but honestly it's hard to believe some of these other guys get major minutes on what was a top 6 seed in the conference for much of the season.

Brooklyn is stepping out of bounds and turning the ball over left and right, yet Cleveland cannot make up any ground

I hope they do.  Tatum likes Kyrie for whatever reason and I’d rather him not get distracted by the home crowd’s negative energy.

TP. Was about to say exactly this.

This second quarter…woof. Making my eyes bleed.

[colincb]

Cavs shooting 33%. BKN 57%.

They need to somehow get to halftime without any further damage being done, try and regroup, and hope the long break interrupts Brooklyn's momentum.

[JSD]

LOL The Nets have stepped out of bounds three times in the 2nd quarter

[ozgod]

Brooklyn have only scored 8 points this quarter. Come on Cavs keep the defense up!

[PAOBoston]

Levert thinking he still plays for the Nets. Doing a lot to help them so far tonight.

I feel like the start of game 1 will probably be pretty boo-heavy, but I imagine it will let up. We'll be too busy cheering on the gentleman's sweep to notice him
