Sharpe’s hot shooting has continued

Simons bad pass, followed up by bad shot attempt

CLE shooting starting off very cold, POR shooting very hot, we’ll see how long that lasts

Scoot leading the team in 3pt FG% @ 37% :o

Camara picks up second foul, no that was not a push

CLE shooting is ice cold

Scoot hits a really tough shot in the lane

Very physical game

TO Banton, followed by two bad shot attempts

POR with 7 TO, they are lucky that CLE is shooting so poorly

I wonder in a playoff series, if Deni is going to be able to get away with those pushes that he does. I would bet they end up getting called offensive fouls

3rd foul by DC, not flagrant, good decision

Reath sighting, I don’t think Billups was happy with Walker

Scoot with quick 5pts, tie game

41 of 42 points by young guys

Just horrible shooting by Cleveland right now, 33%


With Mitchell out, CLE needs Garland shooting, and he is 2/12, and most of his shots have looked ugly

I have no idea how people think that we overpaid for Deni. He is our best player.

DC picks up 4th

Camara draws offensive foul

CLE timeout, down by 15

CLE getting reverse home cooking from the refs, really bad, good for POR though

3Q has become the Avdija show, 22-8-6

lol, Scoot with the 3 off the backboard as the clock expires, when things are going your way..,

Can POR hold a 10pt lead in CLE?

Banton has a lot of dumb plays to end 3Q & now start of 4Q

DC 5th, bad luck there

4pt game

Murray blows an open lay in

Banton with a 5pt run, not yet evening out what he has given up via bad TO, fouls & shot attempts

CLE finally able to take advantage of that mismatch of Simons on Mobley in the post

POR lead down to 1, 8min to go

Avdija & Jerome trade and 1’s

Banton, prayer answered

Hunter hits another 3, CLE first lead since 1Q

Yeah, I was surprised that Deni didn’t get an offensive foul called on him earlier\more often, 3min left, that one hurt

Mobley fouled, CLE up by 1

Deni, 30-10-10, first triple double of his career

DC picks up 6th

Is it gonna become the Simons show now? Yep

Mobley fouls out, not flagrant

Sharpe took that shot, tough miss

That is the second time that Sharpe has had a put back, off a Simons miss nonetheless

Strus hits a tough 3, 14s left CLE up by 3

Which Blazer takes the last shot?

That was a weird foul by CLE

OT

CLE got Hunter for (3) 2nd’s, nice pickup, CLE 8-0 since he joined the team

Simons & Hunter exchange 3pt shots, CLE up by 2

Deni goes for the win, misses the 3. Holton is right, they were just a too frantic at the end.

Ballgame, don’t think POR could’ve played any better of a game. I wonder if CLE rests Mitchell against POR next time?

Crolshey and Billups already ruined the tank, at this point the tank doesn't even make sense...go for the win.

It's soooooo Chauncey to not call out a timeout (with two of them in his pocket) against a defense that is already set only down by 2. AND THEN call a time out to draw up a 3pt play with 4 seconds on the clock, down by 4, and end the game with a timeout to burn.

It's literally worse than High School coach game management.

Guys fought hard against the best record in the league, DC has got to learn to stay on the court especially when other bigs are out again a team with guys like Allen and Mobley. Ty Jerome had himself a game

With those who thought the players played their butts off. Billups in this game :nonono:

Camara and Avdija and definitely a nice forward combination. Tough not having either Williams or Ayton against this team.

It appears he is indeed our best player at least currently. I wouldn't say we overpaid at least upfront but I would say if trading for him cost us a top 4 pick in this draft it may have been costly indeed to make this sort of trade before we had a superstar (or potential superstar) on the roster. Usually when you don't have a top 25 player in the league eventually you lose everyone anyways once you can't get out of basketball purgatory
