Live Thread: Pistons @ Cavs
2021-11-12Good evening CtB!
Tonight the Cavs will try to bounce back from a gut wrenching loss to the Washington Wizards, taking on the struggling Detroit Pistons in a Central Divison matchup. The Cavs will still be missing Lauri Markkanen and Kevin Love due to Healthy and Safety Protocol.
This is a matchup that the Cavs should win, but the question for this young Cavs’ team is whether they can ignore outside expectations and execute on the floor. Are they satisfied being a .500 team, or do they want to push the envelope as Cedi Osman’s quote reveals:
"With the way we're playing right now, if you want me to be honest, I think we can go to the playoffs. Not the play-in."#Cavs forward Cedi Osman on Cleveland's season so far.

What would be awesome is a double digit beatdown because the Cavs are clearly playing better, but what feels more likely is a defensive struggle that comes down to who has the last shot. Here’s to hoping yours truly is dead wrong lol.
Tip off is at 7:30pm ET and broadcasted on Bally’s Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, GO CAVS!
MOBLEY WITH THE TOUCH!!!!
Mobes!!!!
DG and Mobley plus bench has been stellar
Beautiful oop.
Tried to nutmeg Mobley but he was just too long.
Man, DG looks confident tonight…
yup, settled in offensively tonight.
MAN I LOVE D.G.’S PASSING
It’s special, he can pass like the greats!!!
MOBLEY DEFENSE!!!
DG TO MOBLEY WHAT A PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They cavs run some cross screens and the offense opens up. Amazing.
Mobley with a rough possession there LMFAOOO guys kind of look tired
DG WITH THE DEFENSE ON BALL!!!
Mobley blocks and keeps it in bounds. As he does.
Released the Kraken for garland!

DG STEAL AGAIN!!!
RUBIO TO DG!!!! GREAT READ DG!
hell yeah, defense great, offense good enough, just have to freaking rebound
Settle shot to end the quarter. run a play.
Yeah everyone a bit flat-footed there.
end of quarter situations and inbounds plays no longer a total crater for this team but could definitely use some more work
DG with 2 for 1 triple
DARIUS GARLAND FOR THREE!!!!
GARLAND DEFENSE!!!!!!!!
WOW, Mobley should’ve pump faked, got rejected at the rim. great pass though
Agreed. Need to be a bit crafty there.
HOPE STEVENS IS OK
Sorry Stevens is hurt, but Cavs chances to win just got better.
WTF was that get the ball to Mobley Cedi!!!
CEDI WITH THE FINISH!!!!
SIMMO —-WHAT KNEES —-CAR ACCIDENT A FEW YEARS BACK–( WHEN I WAS OUT FOR A RUN )– CURTAILED MY RUNNING ///HAVE 3 ” OF STEEL IN BOTH KNEES—-DOING ALOT OF BIKING NOW…. AND “MORE BEER PLEASE “
NICE TEAM WORK!!!! STEAL BABYY!
Cavs offense so far sans YB is just bad… no one can break down the D once the initial action breaks down
they’re shooting pretty good tonight actually and the other night too i’m pretty sure
Their rebounding is garbage though, already given 3 offensive rebounds and doubled up 10-5
damn Lamar’s hurt, hope he’s OK
Another one bites the dust…this sucks…
OH MAN WHAT A PASS DG Mobley jumped too early
MOBLEY FOR THREE!!!!!
ALLEN DEFENSE!
Cabs gotta set some better screens
Ricky crafty!
RUBIO WITH THE OLD MAN GAME!!!

GREAT JOB SIMMO —IN MY COLLEGE DAYS I WAS DOING 80—100 MILES / WEEK —-TOP 5K TIME WAS 14:33
Verrrry slick! How’re the knees these days?
Allen slices to the rim!
MOBLEY MIGHT BE TRYING TO HARD ( DUELING WITH CADE )–JUST LET THE GAME COME TO YOU
Allen has to go up strong, went up weak.
Okoro gave up a defensive rebound to Cade, rage timeout
Garza trying to guard JA is kind of hilarious…
DG TO ALLEN HOLY CRAP GARZA WENT DOWN HARD
