Game 5 | Cavs at Warriors | Nov 7th 2012 | 10:30 PM ET

[B Mac]

That Kyrie guy is pretty tough. Need Dion to help ease the load in the 3rd quarter.

Oh and the Lakers lost again.

Kyrie takin it over!

He's looking good as always except for that left handed 14 footer

[LoveThemCavs]

Well considering how horrible that first quarter was for the Cavs. I will take it being down 8 at half. Kyrie stepped it up in the second quarter. I realize he's improved his left hand shot after hurting his hand this summer, but I don't wanna see left hand floaters/shots too much from him. Dion needs to get more aggressive with his shot since we are so short handed. I will be surprised if we win this game, just over matched right now inside without Zeller/AV in there. Too many easy looks inside for the Warriors.

[LoveThemCavs]

Oh and hopefully the refs don't call things so damn tight in the second half. I hate watching games where a whistle is blown every damn play. Half the team is in foul trouble. Gibson and Miles were decent off the bench too.

[fart]

Honestly, Samardo is better than Tristan. Tristan has been playing like a pile of **** so far. I never understood how you could be a professional basketball player getting paid millions just to work on your game all day and not hit atleast 70 % of your free throws.

[DelontesLip]

Klay is the 2nd best player in the 2011 draft

[LoveThemCavs]

Well its gonna take one hell of a fourth to win this. Kyrie looked exhausted on that turnover to end the third. Dion is gonna have to get into it NOW.

[TheOUTLAW]

Is anyone watching this game? What's the deal with all the charging calls on the Cavs?

[LoveThemCavs]

Well time to call it a night. This game was lost because of no Zeller/AV, no way we lose on the boards against the Warriors with them. That is the big difference. Just get ready for the next game on this road trip.

[Dupp]

That was awful to watch. Anyone know how long Andys gonna be out?


So the golden state commentators said Sloan was one of the two players warned for flopping. Anyone have any idea what play? Seems weird. Seems like they are gonna target the role players more and even if the stars do get fined its 5k flat so its nothing too them but will add up for some role players who they are probably target abd guys like cp3 and lebron still flow like crazy.

Related note barnes had a massive flop today against miles.

[ScramboD8]

I like how Samardo played. I hope he can be part of the rotation.

We won't win these tough road games without Varejao and Zeller. Hopefully both are back soon.

From Jason Lloyd. This in addition to Varejao/Zeller down and Irving/Miles affected by food poisoning last night.
----
Dion Waiters was hobbling around the locker room, couldn't put weight on his right leg because of a bruised thigh

Waiters said he injured the leg in the third quarter. He iced it down, but it's worth monitoring going forward.

Just to follow up. Here's today's report from the Cavs official site. No mention of Zeller, so I'd assume he's OUT.

Kyrie Irving – did not practice today (gastroenteritis) and is listed as PROBABLE for tomorrow night’s game against the Suns in Phoenix.

Dion Waiters – did not practice today (right quad contusion) and is listed as QUESTIONABLE for tomorrow night’s game against the Suns in Phoenix.

Anderson Varejao – practiced today (right knee contusion) and is listed as PROBABLE for tomorrow night’s game against the Suns in Phoenix.
