Preseason Live Thread: Bulls @ Cavs, The Rematch
2021-10-10Good evening CtB!
The Chicago Bulls come to the shores of Lake Erie for a preseason rematch against the Cavs. Chris Fedor of cleveland.com reporting that Sexland will not be available tonight:
#Cavs Darius Garland and Collin Sexton to miss tonight's preseason game, moving Ricky Rubio and Lauri Markkanen into the starting lineup with Isaac Okoro, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen vs. Chicago, sources tell @clevelanddotcom. https://t.co/bJWCqoTlQA

Fedor hints at the notion that the coaching staff wants to get Isaac Okoro going by starting him at the shooting guard position, and it will also be their second look at Lauri Markkanen at the small forward slot. Sexland’s absence will also mean a look at the scramble for the end of the bench and two way roster spots. Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM ET, and broadcasted on Bally’s Sports Ohio. Go Cavs!!!
MOBLEY IS SPECIAL!!!!
His hook looks …. hard to stop.
Showing some grit….me like!
LAURI MARKKANEN SWEET FADEAWAY!!!!
MOBLEY IS HITTING THREES!!!!!!!!
Mobley with a great finish!
How’s his minutes looking?
He’s already one of the best players on the team.
He and Rubio… and everybody else, Lauri at the small forward has been great… he’s next.
He’s played 30. Will be interesting to see how they manage his rookie frame.
oh sorry didn’t realize you mean quantity LMFAOOO
yeah, no way he doesn’t play at least 30 a night.
welp, the first three quarters were fun,
now that Rubio is out, it’ll be a slow descent….
Markkanen should be starting at the small forward spot, and he pretty much sucks at power forward or center.
Rubio should be starting of course.
Feel like this will be the pattern for a while as things shake out development-wise.
it’s going to be infuriating, oh well… hopefully it means Koby and JB are fired!!! can’t lose hope!
NICE STEAL WINDLER! NICE FINISH STEVENS!
TERRIBLE CALL REF THAT WAS A BLOCK!!!
CEDI IS ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!
Nice thump Okoro.
OKORO WITH NO MERCY!!!!!!!!
Mobley should’ve shot the three, no confidence in the jumper right now.
GREAT POST UP MARKKANEN!!! GOTTA GET HIM THE BALL!
Has Nomad lent you his keyboard?
Lol
I don’t think Nomad’s has punctuation though.
LMFAOOOOO THATS RIGHT!!!!!
PANGOS WITH THE RAINBOW!!!!
MOBLEY GOT HACKED!!!!!!!!! ALLEN GOOD REBOUND!

MOBLEY DEFENSE!!!!!!!!
MOBLEY TOUCH PASS BUT YOU HAVE TO FINISH LAURI!!
MOBLEY STEP THRU GREAT STRENGTH!!!!!!

MOBLEY BABY!!!
Lauri great defense on DDR but doesn’t secure the rebound.
Okoro’s defense was useless against DDR.
OK. Cavs live! Woot! Is KLove injured yet?
nice Simmo!!! KLove’s healthy and playing!!!
Hey JB, play Wade WTF?????
great half… Rubio should be starting.
Markkanen is definitely a small forward.
Allen nice bounce back game.
WINDLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????
damn, that was close
CEDI WITH THE FINISH!!!!!!!
WHAT THE HELL REF THAT WAS A CHARGE!!!
RUBIO VETERAN MOVE!!!
MOBLEY TO CEDI TO WINDLER!!!!!!!!! GREAT UNSELFISHNESS!
Love’s worst game of the preseason.
Not nearly enough 3s being produced… shooting over 50% and losing by 4.
good pass Mobley, Love just missed.
LOVE DUMB PASS SHOOT THE THREE!!!!
That was one of the most ridiculous plays I’ve ever seen… Mobley absolutely smoked Ball in the open court.
awful pass Love
WHAT A MOVE MOBLEY!!!!!!!! AND PASS TO ALLEN!!!!!!!!!!
Pangos is bad,
MARKKANEN STEAL!!!!!
Okoro terrible turnover. should’ve dropped off to ALlen trailing the play.
LAURI SMOKED DEROZAN!!!!!!
RUBIO TO ALLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RUBIO WITH THE FINISH!!!!!!!!
Where the hell is Wade JB??? let him play!!!
RUBIO TO OKORO AND 1!!!!!!!!!
RUBIO 8 ASSISTS!!!!!!!
Nice having a PG.
Derrick Jones Jr been a problem this game. Bulls backups actually are a gritty 2nd unit
CEDI IS BALLING OUT HERE!!!!!!
RUBIO WITH THE FINISH!!!
holy shit great pass Rubio and Markkanen can’t hit the WIDE OPEN 3… too open!!!
How was that not a shooting foul on Rubio
IDK LMFAOOO we’re getting robbed
Well. Much better start than the last time they faced off.
Should’ve traded Sexton and moved DG to the bench LMFAOOO
Yup

RUBIO STEAL RUBIO TO ALLEN!!!!!! AND 1!!!!
GREAT DEFENSE MARKKANEN AND LOVE!!!!
damn, another wide open look, Rubio needs to work on the baseline jumper.
WE’RE A PLAY IN TEAM IF WE START RUBIO!!!
Okoro at the 2: 3 rebounds in 6 minutes
my goodness Zach Lavine is ridiculous
MOBLEY REJECTION!!!!
THE OFFENSE IS HUMMING WITH RUBIO!!!!
ball needs to find Mobley when the offense bogs down.
great pass Rubio, Lauri wasnt ready to shoot.
RUBIO TO LAURI IN TRANSITIONI!!!
ALLEN FOUND THE TOUCH!!!! great two man with Rubio
DAMN LAURI WITH THE STEPBACK?!
great steal Okoro!
JARRETT ALLEN HAMMER!!!
WTF I HOPE RUBIO IS OK!!!
damn DDR just tackled him!!!
OKORO TO MOBLEY MAGIC!!!!
OKORO IS A TWO CONFIRMED
damn, great pump fake by Rubio and couldn’t cash.
Pathetic finish to this Browns game.
they didn’t win? LMFAOO
10 points 5 assists in 20 minutes per game for Rubio….
that’d be 15 and 7.5 assists if he was playing starter minutes…
