Game 5: Cavs at Denver Nuggets 10:30 EST, ESPN FSO

King Stannis · Post #1 » by **King Stannis** » Fri Nov 7, 2014 9:11 pm

LeBron James and the Cavaliers look to come together on the road against the struggling Nuggets. Will the Cavs learn to play team ball? Will Kevin Love have plays run for him? Will Kyrie Irving have an assist? Will Mozgov drop 93 on the Cavs? Tune in at 10:30.

Carried by ESPN and Fox Sports Ohio.

Keys to the Game:

1. Playing some species of defense
2. Ball movement
3. Rebounding
4. LeBron James

I expect a solid win for the Cavs, no way Lebron wants to go 0 for 3 on the trip.

Let's hope for some progress on both sides of the ball and better rotations from Blatt

Let's see if the Cavs can get more than 6 assists this time ...

I liked the Cavs defense in the second half of that Jazz game. If we can build on that while moving the ball we should be able to get back on track.

Much better outside of this 4th Quarter. It's a game of runs, but lets hope we didnt run out of energy in the altitude.

This game made me really hate the Nuggets mainly because all they do is run and chuck three's.
Anyway great game from Kyrie, Love, and Lebron. Kudos to the defense as well.

Liked the ball movement and unselfish play. Love finally got his touches but didn't shoot well. He needs to post up more: He is a foul drawing machine.

Didn't like the bench surrendering the lead and returning to ISO hero-ball.

But, I'll take it.

We don't really have a bench. Two of starters are on the court at all times. I'm not sure how we resolve that.

Delly being out messes up the rotations a bit.. But I am sure that the Cavs will manage. This was a good and much needed win, but there is still have a lot of room for improvement.

1st half was pretty damn great on both sides.

2nd half was some slippage, but this has been a LONG road trip, 4 of our first 5 games - that's ridiculous so good to get the win period.

I really liked the Love/Lebron P&R game.

Pros - good ball movement and effort on defense
- Kyrie played really well and was looking to pass a lot. Had a lot if "extra" passes where he'd usually shoot and they resulted in a lot of good looks.
- Kyrie played defense, granted it was against a midget but the effort was there
- love got a lot of touches down low

Cons - let them back in the game
- they still scored a bunch even though i thought the defense was pretty solid.
- waiters was chucking and taking a lot of bad shots when the rest of the team was moving and passing well

Overall good game I think

bron needs to drop 30,and k love dominate the board,we are due for a 10plus game win streak 8-)

Ugh. I am glad I went fishing instead of watching the game.

So, on a scale of ten, how frustrating was it to see them lose to a terrible team?

Not as frustrating as watching the browns

Bron shot like crap last night I actually thought he should have realized he was off and lead by passing
