Live Thread: Mavs @ Cavs
2021-05-09Good evening CtB and Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers and mother figures out there.
Tonight we have the severely undermanned Cavs trying to take on the Luka Doncic led Dallas Mavericks. The Cavs would do well to keep this within 10, but that’s highly unlikely given the circumstances. Win or lose, the Cavs will either snap a terrible nine game losing streak or take one step closer to better lottery odds with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic, and Oklahoma City Thunder all in action tonight as well. Go Cavs!
#Cavs Cedi Osman and Isaiah Hartenstein are both OUT tonight against Dallas while Kevin Love WILL PLAY, sources tell @clevelanddotcom. The starting lineup will be:
Collin Sexton, Isaac Okoro, Dean Wade, Kevin Love and Jarrett Allen

GREAT TEAM DEFENSE!!!
Sexton’s shot looks like crap tonight
LOVE HUSTLE SEXTON HUSTLE!
WHAT A FINISH OKORO!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHOULD’VE BEEN AND 1!!!!
feel the Rick Carlisle fear that the Iceman cometh, Texans have to call timeout! Cavs a little closer this time
😂😂😂
Sexton wide open just missed, good ball movement
Lol Sexton
GO TO THE BALL SEXTON WTF
LIKE THE ” CABIN -JELLY ” NATE DID A “CLF “
now I get it! was sitting there counting the jars wondering if it was some kind of double three point reference, thank you NOMAD
KABENGELE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JJs feet were moving…
that is great defense again Wade on Luka.
JB benching him for the playoff push was total BS
Keep doing that, Isaac…way better than just standing in the corner..
OKORO DRIVE AND FINISH!
Love and Sexton come back in and the defense crumbles LMFAOOOO
U have to let brunson be a scorer if he beats u.
*sigh*
Sexton getting in the refs ear on the way back out
More complaining while not getting back on D
KABENGELE BABYYYYYY!!!!!!!
Cabin jelly
NICE PASS WADE AND LOVE!!!!
Kev rebounding well
6 already!
I like the Kabengele Love front court!
I thought Thomas did ok on Doncic last game. Doing same tonight m.
Gele!!!
KABENGELE!!!!!!!!!!! LUNCH PAIL GUY!
Cabin Jelly!
Thomas bad shot, just shoot the 3 instead. 4 point swing.
great defense THomas killed the break
nice challenge Thomas on Luka btw
KA-BoomGele
Wow, there’s a followup dunk for you…
KABENGELE CLEAN UP DUTY!!!!!!!!!!
Nice take sexton v reddick
Kabengele!!!!!
Woah!!!
there you go, Sexton attacking the mismatch got all the way to the rim.
Sexton clanking 2 midrangers instead of launching 3s cool cool
In the Big Game tonight, Wolves up 22-11 on Magic…
Defense just not keeping up with Dallas ball movement. Decent 1st quarter of O though!
Doncic dominating with the pass… what great guards do!
OMFG what a pass Doncic… no look to the cutter 30 feet away
DOT BLOW BY!!!
Doncic was a traffic cone there…
couldn’t handle the Dot hesi!!!
Austin Carr seems convinced Luka isn’t himself tonight, we will see how long that lasts!
He was sore & tired last game. Didn’t stop him…
ANDY HUSTLE!!!
Pattented Andy elbow j!
He’s in way better form than most expected. Great to see.
THOMAS TO ANDY TWO MAN!
Nice redemption Thomas after rhe to
Cavs shots a lot less noisy than last game so far. I am still recovering from the constant CLANKING.
not to be overly glib but there has to be such a thing as brick-induced PTSD, or maybe is that a Pavlovian response?
Definitely some kind of stress disorder
LMFAOOOOO @ both of yall LMFAOOOO
BRODRIC THOMAS COAST TO COAST!!!
DOTSON FROM DEEP!!!!!
Thomas deceptively tall too, what’s his height?
listed at 6’5” seems legit too
great sequence on his recovery, dang! unleash the 3
not sure why JB’s going with Andy over Kabengele especially with Allen out there… more of that two center foolishness that clogs up the paint.
Cavs are back to Bigball, this is great stuff!
LMFAOOOO I hate it!!! LMFAOOOOOO
a little sarcasm on my part but Powell was such an agent of destruction for Cavs in the first Q of the last game, good to see him matched/exceeded by Andy anyway
ahhhh gotcha, good eye!
Ice again
POINT OKORO!!! WITH THE KISS!!!
Credit to JB for putting Wade on Luka, it’s working.
Is that Andy at the scorer’s table?
dude is going to get his first first quarter minutes in a while, boom!
great defense again Wade on Luka
WADE FOR THREE!!!! RAGE TO CARLISLE!!!
Love what Ice is doing in this game…hasn’t converted on everything, but that’s his road to being a good offensive player…
funny how moving him to the shooting guard spot all of a sudden he looks like a legit NBA player LMFAOOO
There’s no doubt about it…that’s a position where he will be really effective, I think, although he doesn’t score enough yet…
Luka on Love, Sexton doesn’t pass him the ball.
Nice shot Sexton on the kickout three.
Sexton completely asleep on defense Richardon cuts on the baseline for an easy shot.
star call for Doncic, Wade’s played great defense so far on Doncic outside the one drive.
Richardson knows he can shoot over Sexton any time he wants.
thought that was Love’s cover, very soft there
could’ve been if they called a switch, so my bad there.
Sexton with the kiss!
YEP D.G. HAS “SCARY ” POTENTIAL IMO— AND WE WILL SEE THE “REAL ” ICE NEXT SEASON
Okoro has that practically unguardable shot in close
OKORO WITH THE KISS!!! off hand no less!
Nice drive, Isaac…
Wonder if some of the more casual Cavs fans understand DG is their best young player yet? (I’m super high on Okoro, too)
absolutely not LMFAOOO
Not many from what I’ve seen 😔
Love blows the bunny over Doncic, Sexton with a terrible turnover, rage timeout JB
Love with a throwback move there but sadly didn’t hit the rim, hard to be flabbergasted at the lack of a call there
great pass Love!!! nice cut and finish Sexton!
nice little sequence
nearly every player in the NBA knows they can shoot over Sexton and get a clean look LMFAOOOO
nice set play, Wade attacking Luka just missed the bunny.
Darius was looking good in some solo drills before the game, presumably getting closer to playing condition? JJ Redick also warming up early, can’t find confirmation he’s still out for this game, does Dallas have enough shooters? Cedi and Hartenstein out. Good to see Kevin Love will be playing this game, sprits high, go Cavs!
You at the game? Hell yeah!
I wish! Just was watching the long pregame warmups, i think available because people want to watch Luca’s routine?
Oh LMFAOOOOOO nice!!!
