Live Thread: Cavs @ Bulls
2020-01-18Cleveland lost a close one last night, and heads to Chicago tonight to take on the Bulls. No injury report out for Cleveland yet, but I’d be surprised if we saw both Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson. For the Bulls, Thomas Satoransky is out while Chandler Hutchison, Lauri Markennan, and Ryan Arcidiacano remain probable. Daniel Gafford, Wendell Carter Jr., Otto Porter Jr., and Max Strus are all out for extended periods. The injury bug has hit Chicago hard, and they only have wins against Washington and Detroit in their last 10 games.
The Bulls lost to the Cavs 117-111 in October, and with this game and two more on deck before the end of the year, I’m sure the Bulls will be hungry for a victory. A win to close out the road trip would be a nice bookend for Cleveland too. The back-to-back looms hard though. We’ll see what happens. I predict a Cleveland squeaker as both these teams stumble to the finish line. Go Cavs!
Omg. That set of calls.
Major league dumb there. Deserved loss.
Some nice clutch D from TT. Twice!
Gotta foul there…and NOT on the shot…woof…
No foul upon review…what a joke…there was a whistle…
Where was that foul? Jesus what a joke.
Just tuned in.Kev! And1!
Cavs were destroying them until they forgot how to play hoops in the 4th…ridiculous giveaways…
Two great TT blocks at the rime…Markkanan and LaVine…
One of the blocks of the year by TT…
Just playing giveaway…Cedi that time on a lazy entry pass to Love…
Another TO. 25.
Against all odds, TT makes 2 FTs for a one point lead…four and change remaining…
Crapping the bed this quarter…for real…
Great and 1 from DG! Great pass from Love on the drive…
Love missing a bushel of shots down the stretch…starters back in…
2 points, 7 TOs, 4 FGAs, 0 FTA.
Heck of a 6 minutes.
Pretty dumb save out of bounds there by LNJ…right to LaVine, open 3, one point game…
2 points in 6 minutes.
It’s laughably obvious how much better a defender Exum is than any other Cav wing…
MAN DIDN’T KLOVE HAVE 23 @ THE HALF—ONLY 2 PTS THIS HALF ————-GUESS THE 4TH QTR IS GOING TO BE THERE MELTDOWN TONIGHT ——-DAMN TAKE CARE OF THE BALL
Five TOs in a row.
Yeesh. Sloppiness.
4 TOs in a row. Awful.
Hard to say we deserve to win with this many TOs.
These TOs must drive Beilein nuts…most of them are just bonehead plays…
Garland headed for a double double with TOs.
17 TOs with 10 minutes left. They should be up 20-25.
Turnovers comng back for another scare…
TT, please stop dribbling…
Bron only 6 pts at half. Though they missed an obvious goaltend on one of his shots. I do not get how 3 refs can miss a ball hitting the backboard before a rejection.
Up 15 after 3…
Dumb TO there by Garland on a travel…he tries to be too slick at times…
DG oop to Nance..DG always looking for that on drives…
Wow, DG and Tyler Herro are tied with 3 point makes with 80…who would have ever thought it?
The Hawks are absolutely putrid…not even fun to watch, they suck…losing by 30 tonight…
If Garland were 6’4″ I bet he’d be a good defender…he knows what’s going on out there…he’s okay on point guards, but it’s a problem when Sexton and DG are on the court together, to no one’s srpise…
MSMART WITH 21 / 3 PT SHOTS TONIGHT –HOLY CRAP ” PRES STEVENS ” WTF ARE YOU THINKING —HE DID MAKE 11 OF THEM –SO YEAH GOOD CALL BY THE “PRES “
And they lose…grats, Marcus…
WOULD BE A GOOD STAT TO LOOK UP —-DOES SEEM HE TIRES OUT / COOLS OFF THE 2ND HALF ——TOO MUCH ” BUTT SLAPPING ” HALFTIME / LOCKERROOM / WASTED ENERGY : – )
Has anyone ever done a breakdown of Love’s shooting splits by quarter? Seems he cools down often after half.
I don’t know, but I guarantee you that all his realy hot quarters have been 1st or 2nd…
Lol…they’re hedging on Sexton like he’s Steph Curry…but Sexton has been destroying them…
AGREE WITH YOU MIKEO—-BALL SHOULD BE IN GARLANDS HANDS / T.O.’S ARE PART OF THE GROWING PROCESS —–STILL TRUST IT IN HANDS TO MAKE SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE HAPPENING
Cavs up 18 after two Cedi FTs…
Sexton looking really good tonight…
24 points…
Ligtning quick drive by Sexton for the layup…
For the record, the Blazers saved around $5 mil with this trade. Still over the luxury tax threshhold.
Celtics losing to Suns late /HAHA
I realize the Bulls have a lot of injuries (Otto, Carter, etc), but that was a scorching half.
OK THEY SPOTTED THEMSELVES A 17 PT CUSHION TO ALLOW FOR THEIR 3RD QTR MELTDOWN —HOPE WE DON’T SEE IT —–GOTTA GET GARLAND TO TAKE CARE OF THE BALL——–IS THIS THE MOST WE HAVE SCORED IN 1 HALF THIS SEASON
It’s their highest scoring half, yes. Actually, I’m pretty confident when Garland has the ball these days…TT and Sexton scare me more…and Love in traffic…
If we didn’t have 12 TOs (Garland 5), we’d have cracked 80.
Scorching shooting half…Cavs up 17 at half…
Cavs shot 68% that half…looked like a legit NBA eam (for a half)…
DG!! Buzzer beater 3!!
Sexton en feugo this half…
Man, Love feeling it…
TO by Garland there, just lost it out of bounds on a drive…I can forgive that one…
Really Cavs nshould be up by more as hot as they’ve been and considering it’s the Bulls…worried about another 3rd qtr Hindenburg…
BLAZERS CALLING KOBY RIGHT NOW
GUESS I “PISSED ” DARIOUS OFF WITH THE T.O. POST : -)
Love with 20…
11-15 from deep as a team.
DG is on fire!! 11 of 15 from 3 for the Cavs…
NOT WATCHING THE GAME WHAT’S UP WITH GARLANDS 4 T.O.’S —FORCED / SLOPPY ??
I missed the 1st quarter, but yes, probably…
Deeeep 3 from DG….
Sexton looks great on 3’s when he has time to set himself…kind of a weird shot…
Smart foul by Sexton there to stop the break…
AGREE ON LOVE / TRADE TALKS —-TRYING TO UP THE “ANTE ” FOR HIM
Nice biiig stepback 3, Collin!
First back to back for Love this season and likely his last as a Cav. Smells like trade.
18 for Love, almost 7 minutes left in the half. And I didn’t expect him to play tonight.
9 turnovers already…echh…
9 ASSISTS AND ” NO BUTT SLAPPING ” THE 1ST QTR —–WOULD CALL THAT A PRODUCTIVE / POSITIVE QTR
KLOVE HEARING ABOUT BLAZERS CLEARING UP CAP SPACE –( TRADES TODAY )–PUTTING UP STATS TO ‘ INTICE ” THEM : – )
I AM GOING WITH THE LATE PLANE FLIGHT —POSSIBLE LOVE / T.T. ” BEHIND SLAPPER ” NOT PLAYING AS THE REASONS THE BULLS WILL PREVAIL TONIGHT —–113 –106———-
