Live Thread: Cavs @ Hawks, Preseason
2021-10-06Good evening CtB!
Tonight the Cavs will try to bounce back from a horrendous performance last night in Chicago, in which they looked wholly unprepared and uninterested for their first action of preseason.
Per Chris Fedor of cleveland.com, they will be starting the same five as last night, hoping for a better result. Also, Fedor reports that Tacko Fall has rejoined the team in Atlanta after dealing with some bureaucratic issues relating to his job with the Cavs, but may not be available to play given the tight time frame.
Tip off is around 7:30PM ET, Go Cavs!!!
Sexton 8 shots, 7 turnovers
Mobley only starter with a positive plus/minus, the bench all in the positives.
and then there’s Sexton,,,,,,,,,,,,,
He calmed down. He’s so much better when he minimizes dribbling.
the problem is that he has no interest in minimizing it LMFAOOOo
DG finished it, but why the hell is Mobley not touching the ball????????
“Leeeeeeeroy!!!!”
WHAT IS SEXTON DOING????????????? GIVE IT TO MOBLEY!!!!!!
DG, Sexton, Allen, and Okoro don’t deserve to start…. if they do, JB should be fired.
Wow…Mobley…
CEDI TO MOBLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE PLAYING DEFENSE!!!!
CEDI awful play….. pass it or pull it up
You just see the potential of who Mobley can be with a few pounds and a little experience.Affecting the game on both sides.Changing/blocking shots, passing and creating for himself.
Yep. And he’s already solid at everything.
and smart.
Rubio geta the cavs sooo many easy buckets.
Rubio is gonna love Allen and Mobley…and vice versa…
RUBIO LOVE MOBLEY THREE MAN!!!!!!!!!!
Pretty impressed by Mobley’s rebounding in these first two games…better than I expected…
The muscle is showing.
Agreed. Summer league he seemed to have no interest.
no he was just playing with a bunch of ball hogs.
Lovin this lineup
Rubio! Rubio!
WHAT A PASS RUBIO WHAT A FINISH CEDI!!!!!!! GREAT DEFENSE TOO!
Mobley!!!!! Dunks all over that poor soul
RUBIO MOBLEY PICK AND ROLL ALL DAY PLEASE!!!!!
Absolute best way to use Mobley there.
Mobley already looks like one of the best players on the team…
It’s clearly he, Rubio and Love… the rest are bums.
nice pass Mobley, Lauri hits the spot up,

combo of both, imo…
When Rubio isn’t out there, the offense has the flow of 5 30-somethings playing pickup for the first time at the Y
Its looking better.
DG/Mobley PnR leads to Sexton spot up 3, that makes more sense at least
Sexton can shoot, just need to reign in so much if his game unfortunately
Jarrett Allen airball, Mobley never touches the ball. Fire JB
If he can’t integrate Mobley effectively into the offense, I have little doubt he’ll be fired…
yikes, glad Allen’s OK.
that offensive set was absolute garbage, bailed out by a late DG/Allen pick and roll
Cedi at the top of the key with ball pressure, what is he supposed to with that????
Scary fall for Allen there…
what the hell was that shot Sexton?????
believe it’s called an air ball…
Hard to watch, if he had a good shot fine, but those are just a waste.Listening to Jim Chones talking about valuing posessions.
Man, Mobley…don’t show him the ball…
WHAT A BLOCK MOBLEY!!!!!!
LOVE TO DG TO ALLEN!!!!! GREAT DEFENSE TOO!
LMFAOOOOO Sexton just dribbled it out of bounds lMFAOOOOOOO
Wasted possession.
My god DG, what an idiotic play was is going on
Nice defense Love, no one rebounds.
God, Rubio is so good…
MY GOD GET SEXTON OFF THE COURT!!!!!!
I actually really like this lineup so far.
Rubio and Love two man, smart play…. only guys who actually know how to play NBA basketball.
Kev got fouled
Sexton continuing to run PG while Rubio’s on the court, WTF
LOVE WHAT A MOVE!!!
Rubio looks like such a vet out there…
Love too.
No doubt…
RUBIO WHAT A FINISH!
Sexton playing PG while Rubio is on the court, this is dumb
I’m not sure Allen or Okoro (“2 key pieces of the young core”) have made a productive offensive play yet
Love and Rubio should be starting. Inexcusable not to.
AMEN BW!!!! this is bozo shit from JB/Koby
GREAT PASS MARK!!! Stevens can’t hit the shot
That wasn’t it, Lamar
Love and Lauri make3s no sense at all…
Defensively anyway. Offensively, they just ran a great set.
DG great move, blows the layup

Sexton’s answer to the zone is just to go one-on four every time. https://twitter.com/oldseaminer/status/1445899502221672455?s=20
GARLAND BABYY THANK YOU!
Lauri Markkanen taking a good shot!
Okoro bricks a 3, i could’ve shot it better.
Brick is an understatement
hence the diss!!! LMFAOOOOOOO
The turnovers are maddening. I understand they are trying to integrate new pieces, and it’s preseason etc, but those are mostly just slop.
This offensive system is a joke. Any time DG doesn’t have the ball, it should be in Mobley’s hands…. instead it’s Sexton dribbling to nowhere constantly.
For real.
Yeah, so many people really think Sexton is a PG….he’s not. Or he is, but a godawful one.
holy shit why is Sexton on the court??????
Oof it’s hard to watch. Stripped by tacko fall sr
Officially changing Sexton’s nickname to Leroy Jenkins.
Nice play Mobley, because he finally touched the ball.
Sexton was even late with the cut and the play still worked.
Nice recovery and contest Mobley
Does Sexton have 3 TOS in 3 mins
Yes,
And another that should’ve been and a block against.
Great defense Mobley, let him touch the damn ball.
LMFAOOOO Sexton just throwing up garbage.
Mobley barely touches the ball on offense, this isn’t good.
Man sexton’s passing is still awful.
DG!!! actually hunting his shot, about time.
Sexton is a turnover machine.
Sexton terrible turnover, but it was actually Mobley’s fault for passing to him in the first place.
Garland wide open layup, passed it and turned it over.
