Live Thread: Warriors @ Cavs
2021-11-18Good evening CtB!
Back on the shores of Lake Erie, the Cavs come home to face off against the best team in the NBA so far this season, the Golden State Warriors. The Cavs face a monumental task tonight trying to contain Steph Curry’s offensive playmaking, and they will face that task massively shorthanded. Here’s the latest injury report:
#Cavs Jarrett Allen, Lauri Markkanen and Lamar Stevens remain OUT tonight vs. Golden State. Collin Sexton and Evan Mobley are also out, of course.

Back to back games are an idiotic idea in today’s NBA, in the year 2021. The Cavs will consider it a victory to just maintain the competitive edge for a full 48. All that being said, it wouldn’t surprise at all if the pesky, scrappy Cavs can cover the +9.5 home dog spread… yes, yours truly is an optimist!
Tip off is scheduled for 7:30pm ET, and the game will be broadcasted by Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, GO CAVS!
Caught Curry’s presser after the Nets-GSW game, he didn’t sound particularly convinced about Wiggins and his ability to produce on a consistent basis. Not quite a public roasting, but certainly making it known publicly that consistent effort is expected.
yeah I caught that too… kind of weird, but the flip side is he might be the kind of guy that needs that.
Cavs should be damn proud of themselves, up 3 on the best team in the NBA.
24 more to go babyy!!!!
Yeah, surprisingly competitive half…
Enjoyed Davis’s efforts particularly
found something in the second half of last night, carrying over tonight big time.
He was incredible…
DG emerging as a star
he’s making the All-Star leap!!!
DAMMIT !!! Great hustle DG!!! just couldn’t make the last one thought that was golden.
KEVIN LOVE HUSTLE!!!!
Cavs lucked out there
KLOVE FOR THREE!!!!!
LMFAOOOOO what was that wiggs?????
lolllll
DEAN WADE HUSTLE!!!!!!!!
GREAT TEAM PASSING DG FOR THREE!!!!
Windler wide open, at least he took it.
DG looks so much more aggressive and confident when on the floor w/o Sexton….not Sexton’s fault, but just saying…
Koby better be taking notes!
DARIUS GARLAND WIDE OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!
Wade with the reverse!!
Davis making a case
Holy crap Davis
DG TO DAVIS AGAIN!!!

DG is so good…
Lol Wiggins

Ed Davis is having a damn game!!!!! 10 rebounds!
How many more games before I get a Rubio jersey…
If he signs for on beyond the season it’s a certainty
Right?
If you’re the jersey buying type, several games ago…
Lol fair enough
RUBIO TO OKORO RAGE TIMEOUT!!!!!!
DARIUS COOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Showing what he can do tonight…
Love his handle!!
Oh oh, here comes the mouthguard
RUBIO TO THE RIM!!!!!

Filthy dime by Curry

Love and WIndler gotta give the team something tonight.
ALOT BETTER THAN I ANTICIPATED —HAVE TO HEAD OUT —GO CAVS !!
have a good night NOMAD!
Ciao Nomad!
Damn the guys are hooping tonight!!! Rubio and Mobley completely change how these guys compete.
Yeah great to see the fight!
That will most likely be the best quarter for the Cavs…
RUBIO STEAL AND COAST TO COAST!!!
RICKY!
Looks like they’re competing and Ed Davis is a board machine. Cant watch again tonight.
Hey Nate, hope you’re having fun!!!
OKORO PASS THE BALL OUT! Use a ball fake!
Cavs playing well, their bench just can’t compete with Golden State’s given the injuries.
WOW, Denzel’s jumper looks ugly as hell LMFAOOOOO
Chicago nods…
3 days off after this right?? Boys are gonna need it…
DENZEL GREAT HUSTLE!
NICE PASS LOVE! GREAT CUT AND FINISH VALENTIN!
Okoro gotta finish that, had the layup good aggression at least
Wiggins keeping that same energy
holy crap what a pass DG, Wade gotta dunk that.
TOTAL BULLSHIT CALL REF!
DG going to do Curry tonight…
great to see DG get up for the challenge! sign of growth
Yaaassss!
DARIUS GARLAND RAINBOW!!!!!!!!!!
Smack em in the mouth & see if they can be bothered responding. I like the tactic.
LMFAOOOOO 100%!
DEAN WADE!!!! GREAT READ DG!
RUBIO TO OKORO!!!!
GREAT HUSTLE WADE!!!!
damn, Rubio had STeph stumbling LMFAOOOOO
DG GREAT FINISH!
Smoked Wiggins…
love to see it! Wiggs’ defense improved a lot.
DAVIS ADDS SOME VETERAN LEADERSHIP ON THE FLOOR
“ALL GRIT –NO QUIT —HOLY SHIT ” WHAT A START
DEAN WADE!!!!!!! RAGE TIMEOUT!!!!!!!!
THAT WAS A CHARGE!!!
DG might score 40 tonight…
DG MIDRANGE PULL UP!
WADE GREAT DRIVE AND PASS! DG FOR THREE!
DG STEAL ON CURRY!
Nice, Ice!
Okoro took Curry to the paint!
In a game like this, a surefire loss and so few available, I would like to see a lot of Windler and a lot of Okoro.
Hell yeah congratulations to RUbio on the NBA award, Koby sign that man up!!!
Woof jeez CtBers I’m feeling a bit of vertigo about the Cavs tonight but at least this tweeter makes a fair point. Still impressed how they fought last night tho. https://twitter.com/armentro1landon/status/1461487136167940096?s=21
yeah definitely
Calling it now, Kevin Love MVP performance, locks up Steph to win the game… it’s inevitable.
Love’s best NBA moment was 10 sec of D on Steph at the end of game 7. He shut him down!
I know I love it, Kevin Love is a two way player!!!
LMFAO this is ridiculous
https://twitter.com/ChrisFedor/status/1461479361194995717?s=20
Far out man. I remember a few short weeks ago we were all hoping for no injuries & see how far the team could climb. This is devastation.
LMFAOOOOO when it rains it pours WTF LMAOOOO
More hilarious since someone here was telling me (forget who it was) that Rubio should not be starting because he was an injury risk. He’s like almost the last one standing.
Freaking love Rubio, what a tremendous get…. best move of the Koby era besides drafting Mobley!!! LMFAOO
Jesus.
HOW ABOUT DENZEL “WASHINGTON ” FANS —MIGHT HAVE TO SWITCH TO ONE OF HIS MOVIES EARLY IN THE GAME ————–” ALL GRIT –NO QUIT “
I would rather watch Denzel Washington act than Denzel Valentine play basketball. I’d probably rather watch Denzel Washington play basketball than Denzel Valentine play basketball.
LMFAOOOOOOO you’re on a role MikeO!!
This one is essential viewing for Denzel Valentine fans.
LMFAOOOOOOOOOO truer words never spoken
😂😂😂
