Live Thread: Hornets @ Cavs
2021-10-22Good evening CtB!
The Charlotte Hornets come to the shores of Lake Erie to take on the Cavs in another test against a playoff hopeful. The Cavs are slight underdogs according to Vegas (+2.5 points as of earlier today), and will be without their starting point guard Darius Garland. Ricky Rubio is set to fill in for the injured guard. It’s also reported that Dean Wade will be good to go, while Dylan Windler is still nursing a hip injury.
In spite of the many protests of fans online, Coach J.B. Bickerstaff will go with Lauri Markkanen at the starting small forward spot again, and the advanced metrics say he’s justified in doing so, at least from an offensive standpoint (Cavs turned in a 117.4 offensive rating with Lauri on the court last game).
In a perfect chance to fade the public, look for the Cavs eek out a close one 114-109, GO CAVS!!!
Mobley was fouled 3 times there…
GREAT PASS LOVE!!! good flash to the rim Mobley got the foul!
good idea Okoro, terrible execution
Ugh, that Oubre drive…make him eat that crap…
LOVE GARBAGE DUTY!!!
that was vintage Minny Love right there!
Mobley alters the shot!
Cavs running well. Kev looks great. Charlotte looks like they were not expecting the Cavs to be competent.
Super entertaining game so far
Mobley really affecting Bridges’ shots…
CEDI TO SEXTON RAGE TO!
yikes, Mobley a little shaky offensively tonight
GREAT DEFENSIVELY THO!!!!
Nice look from Mobley…
nice strong post up Markkanen drew the foul
Wow, wide open 3 Love gotta make that
damn another one just missed
1/10 to start the year for love 0/4 tonight 1/6 Monday. Law of averages?
he’s playing well outside of his shooting, so he’s locked in still!
3 on ball!!!
Sexton pretty good getting buckets…
SEXTON AND 1!!!
3 on Allen? Yeesh…he’s playing really well…again…
RUBIO IS COOKING!!!!!!!!! ALLEN AGAIN!
great timeout JB regroup
oh man Evan great step thru but blows the left hand finish
That was almost incredible…
his left hand finish is his biggest offensive weakness
OH MY JA!
HOLY SHIT JARRETT ALLEN!!!!!!!
Dunk of the year candidate so far
Leader in the clubhouse…
That was insane. He threw it down from 3 feet away.
Ball is slick around the rim, no doubt…
SEXTON LETS IT FLY!!!
Sexton hesitated, just let it fly!!!
then turns it over LMAOOO
Like Sexton taking that 3…
yup he was wide open and didn’t have numbers to the rim
nice shot Mark!
MARK TO SEXTON FOR THREE!
great pass Rubio, great cut Sexton
Sexton completely lost and lazy on defense, lucky Allen had his back
Love with 5 rebounds and 3 assists in 7 minutes… pretty good!!!
Need to get Oubre under control…
first team to play defense wins LMFAOOO
great defense causes the turnover!!!!!!!!!
Pangos smart player
LOVE THE OUTLET!!!! OKORO THE FINISH!!!!
get the ball to Okoro on offense, run pick and roll with Love
CEDI TO THE RIM!!!
Nice kick out Love, Cedi missed
CEDI FOR THREE OFF THE DRIBBLE??!!!
Good look Love just rushed the shot, good pass Wade!
That jumper that Okoro just on the dead ball took looked good… really smoother
Liking the effort on D…
Pangos sighting…
ICEEE!!
OKORO JUST BEASTED ON OUBRE!!!!
He needs to make that his patented move…
Liking what Im seeing. Is heyward out?
nope, thought he was playing?
He’s been in…
I like how the offense looks with Rubio running the show. Mobley and Allen are clearly difference makers on both sides of the floor.
Ricky!!
My hot take tonight: Evan Mobley is pretty freaking good at this game…
That was thin
RUBIO WHAT AN OUTLET!!! EASY MONEY SEXTON!
Great look from Rubio to Mobley…
I like the emphasis to get the ball inside to Allen and Mobley to start the game
damn wide open 3, Rubio missed badly probaby should’ve drove and shot the floater
ALLEN WITH THE FINISH!
JA and one!
THAT”S A TECHNICAL OR FLAGRANT REF WTF??????
Flagrant anyway…
Lol LaMelo..
LOL…love that D from Rubio…
damn, good look Rubio just missed.
Nice pass allen
BS call ref!!! that was great defense!
Lauri doing what he’s paid for,,,
MARK FOR THREE!!!
Mobley already looking good on D…
nice two man Sexton and Mobley
Del Curry sneak dissing Sexton LMFAOOO
JA and Mobley getting stole on LMFAOOO
Defensive struggle to start!
Should be fun. Kind of a must win, considering the upcoming schedule. Let Mobley eat!
