Preseason Live Thread: Cavs @ Bulls
2021-10-05Good evening CtB!!!
The wait is over, the Cavs first action of the 2021-22 season is tonight! They are taking on the revamped Chicago Bulls in Chi-town, tip off is at 8:00PM ET. As per Chris Fedor, the Cavs are planning to start Evan Mobley at power forward, although J.B. Bickerstaff hasn’t decided on an opening night starting lineup as of right now. Go Cavs!!!
Austin Carr doesnt want to call JA and Mobley “Tower City” because the team played like garbage tonight LMFAOOOOOOOO
Markennan playing well after a disastrous start. Still has pretty rough defensive instincts.
Cavs redefining the term “garbage time” to mean the whole game.
oh, and okoro is really showing the benefits of all that work on his shot during this last off-season.. 2 pts in 20 min ??.. and garland is a -35 ??
Mobley just bullied his way to the paint, very nice!!!
95-54 @ 4:50 in the 3rd ?? i don’t know how you guys do it..i don’t want to say that the cavs are a joke, but the cavs are a joke.. a pro team getting blown out by 40 in their inaugural game with their revamped roster.. this is the definition of farce..there is a silver lining, however.. kolby must be hugging the bowl right about now.. if not.. he should be FIRED TONIGHT..

Agree 100%. I am out on the Cavs, methinks.
Farewell, all.
nice pass Cedi, nice catch and finish Mobley!
That’s not Rubio’s shot. Cavs look abysmal.
Has a coach ever been fired after a single preseason game?
Get used to it. 85 more to go.
On the plus side, we are really deep.
OK. It’s a preseason game. Chill.
Garland, Rubio, Love, Mobley, & Allen are our best guys. Okoro maybe.
I don’t think you can take anything away from this game. Garland and Rubio are stinking it up.
I am not just basing it on one game.
Rubio starting second half at the 3. WTF are the Cavs doing?
This is the result of letting four drafts with top 10 picks go by without drafting a true wing.
In a league run by wings, that means….well, you just saw it.

You cannot fix stupid. As John Wooden said.
ARGH

Good match with the quality of the product on the court.
nice one bro..
Correct BW LMFAOOO
Another reason to dislike the team.
We are gonna suck. Hard.

yup, pretty much LMFAOOOOo
Weird substitution patterns too. No chance for rhythm.
Wonder if this year will be like the Kyrie (pre LBJ) years. Where the youngsters start, we spot the other team 10, and a veteran bench unit brings us back (Rubio, Love etc)
No windler either??
not saying a word.. not even a syllable..
Another year of watching this nitwit Sexton drive into tall trees with no options,getting the ball stuffed down his throat and a transition basket the other way.To quote Charles Barkley “Turrible”!!!!!!
what you weren’t impressed by the 5 turnovers in 15 minutes???? LMFAOOOOOO
Definitely made an impression,like an ice pick in the forehead.
LMFAOOOOOOOOO

Hard to focus on who to be mad at here…
They needed it. Clearly Cavs not ready for this level of physicality.
Everybody not name Rubio Love and Mobley
Osman wasn’t awful.
Markkanen -19 in 10 minutes, he was getting abused by the Bulls on defense, it’s clear that they hate him and glad he’s gone lMFAOOOOO
Jarrett Allen can’t finish a layup LMFAOOOO
Sexton is a human turnover tonight.
Sexton drive to nowhere, leads to a Lavine dunk
Cedi asleep on the weakside LMFAOOO
DG missed Love for the open 3, and Markkanen gets his jump shot blocked LMFAOOOOOO
The Love/Markkennan lineups need to die.
Gee, who could have seen that coming?
WHAT A PASS RUBIO!!!! LMFAOOOOOOOO NUTMEG!!!
was that levine or lonzo?
I don’t remember, but it was perfect!!! LMFAOOOO
That was a hell of a rebound a minute or so ago.
I’d much rather Mobley get the ball in space against closeouts or on the roll instead of posting up.
Mobley 6 rebounds, 3 stocks 9 minutes +1 plus/minus
great rebound, mobley.
MAN’O’MAN what a block by Mobley. Made Caruso miss the next one too at the left wing. Alex heard footsteps.
MOBLEY SPIN MOVE!
Sexton with 3 turnovers in 10 minutes, DG 2 turnovers in 10
great defense to offense set for Cavs.
MOBLEY BLOCK!!! DG WHAT A PASS!!! YB FOR THREE!!!!
WHAT A PASS RUBIO!!!! WHAT A READ CEDI!
OMFG rubio
MOBLEY BLOCK!!!!!! RUBIO TRIPLE!!!!!
That defense from Sexton was absolute garbage
Calling it now. Rubio going to lead the Cavs in assist.
Rubio and Love two best Cavs players, surprise surprise LMFAOOOo
RUBIO IS SO DAMNED GOOD.
Kev looking like the only Cav who can do anything offensively.
Love can shoot at least
Kev just got DUSTED by *checks notes* Nikola Vucevic on a drive.
Not a fan of the rotations so far but who the hell cares, is preseason
steeling myself for another season of tanking LMFAOOO
Markkanen looks like ass, trying to do more than shoot 3s
Post up Love instead of Markkanen
Cedi picking up right where he left off last season
Cedi with a garbage turnover c’mon ball fake!
DG TO LOVE!!! Seen enough Love should be starting.
zero assists in over six minutes LMFAOOOO
Pretty unwatchable –
Flipping on the baseball
This is good. Cavs need their ass handed to them a little.
Man. Lot of chucking so far.
Lauri missed a point blank layup
Nice hustle play by Collin to get that bucket for DG.
Mobley needs to give the ball to a guard.
nice aggression Mobley, but gotta finish
3 empty possessions in a row, 2 bad shots and a turnover.
Definitely not making the extra pass.
yeah they got their only decent look on the weak side/secondary action.
Sexton with awful D there to allow the trailer after the Mobley block.
Pretty sloppy so far. I do like how quickly they’re getting into sets.
Even trying to do WAAAY too much.
Mobley trying to do too much
Jinx
Allen looks a little thicker. Not much, but a little.
nice pass DG!
LOL, they’re not even at the rock.
Thanks for getting this up, Chris. Excited for the game. You’d think Bally would have some pregame stuff, but I think they didn’t renew contract till today.
Of course Nate! oh shit i didn’t know that about Bally, but good to hear cuz I thought my feed was screwing up!
