Live Thread: Cavs @ Heat
2021-12-01Good evening CtB!
Tonight the Cavs travel to South Beach to take one of the Eastern Conference’s most formidable foes, the Miami Heat. The Heat have had the Cavs’ number for a long while, winning 9 out 10 previous matchups. Luckily for the Cavs, they should be coming into the game healthier after today’s report that Bam Adebayo will be out about six weeks after thumb surgery.
The Cavs will be again missing key reserves Cedi Osman and Dean Wade, along with Collin Sexton. The Heat will be missing Bam, Markieff Morris, and possibly Jimmy Butler and Dwayne Dedmon. They should get back Tyler Herro.
With Bam out, look for the Cavs to try and dominate the paint with their plethora of big men. On the defensive end, the task for the Cavs will be containing Butler, Herro, and Lowry from getting into the paint and collapsing the defense for easy kickouts or oops to the bigs.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:30PM ET, and will be broadcasted on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, GO CAVS!
???? NO ONE TOUCHED HIM????
DG TO LOVE!!!! LOVE IS IN THE AIR!
Strus is killing the Cavs
DG EASY MONEY GREAT HUSTLE ALLEN!
AGREED NEED TO SEE ME SOME WINDLER
I wanna see Windler. We need some more scoring with YB & Cedi out & BF struggling.
Down to 7 again. Good TO.
too much Stevens, no Windler is silly… also not enough Love.
MOBLEY REJECTION!
Unreal…
Lauri open just missed.
DG STEP BACK JACK!!! (get the ball inside)
Heat too well coached to quit. Gotta stay on the pedal
ICE FINISH!
X2!!!
MOBLEY STEAL LAURI FINISH!!!!
Mobley not looking to score, needs to hunt his shot.
One thing about Miami, they are never going to let go of the rope. No quit.
Okoro needs to step up, looking terrible defensively
Do we think JB goes with an eight man rotation or will Windler/Valentine get any neaningful minutes?
Miami goes a quick 4-4 to open that quarter, including three triples. Good timeout.
Cavs getting diced defensively now, good timeout
CAVS ARE DESTROYING THE ZONE LMFAO
LMFAOOOO WIDE OPEN THREE LOVE!!!
Cavs ain’t getting sand kicked in their faces any longer. Just punch teams in the face. Been crushing it since the JB timeout starting the third quarter in Dallas.
love the focus and intensity of this team!
Excellent quarter.
Miami is down their two best players. Don’t mess around. Bury them.
OH OKORO PULL UP MIDRANGE??????
That was sweet!
Austin Carr was overjoyed as well

Lauri gettin refballed
Cavs getting good shots, missed both
found the mismatch and punished… good start.
Listened to the Heat press conference comments after their loss to Denver, apart from the injuries essentially everyone was asked about Duncan Robinson’s shooting, he apparently has been really cold lately (about 30% from three overall) — went 1-9 vs Nuggets and is shooting 21% from three in home games.
THANKS MIKEO–WAS WONDERING HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN —-WOW THAT HAS TO BE ONE OF THE LONGEST – IF NOT – THE LONGETS IN THE NBA
Cavs have lost 20 in a row in Miami, over the last 10 years. Good chance to get one tonight with Bam out and maybe Jimmy.
LMFAOOOOOO wow that’s a helluva streak
This should go similarly to the game in Dallas if we shoot even ok from 3. Nice opportunity
WTF —BULLS // HEAT GOT OFF FRIGGIN EASY FOR THEIR PART IN COLLUSION
Bucks lost a 2nd rounder last year & did not even sign Bogdanovic.
This is a slap on the wrist. Designed to make it look like there is a penalty for tampering when there is not.
Same as Bulls and Heat. I have no clue if this a slap on the wrist or not.
I view second rounders as kind of a lottery — some times you are a winner and get someone good.
Bam & Jimmy out. Aling with Kieff. Gotta get this one. It won’t be easy, because the Heat are the Heat. But I think we can get this done.
Jimmy has a bruised tailbone.
This Cavs team is the last thing anyone with a bruised tailbone wants to see.
BUCKAROO ARE YOU GOING TO BE WATCHING YOUR ‘HERO ‘ –POSTING BUCKET BY BUCKET REPORTS”——-HE –( HERO ) – HAS MADE A BIG LEAP THIS YEAR BUT SO HAS OUR DRAFT CHOICE THAT YEAR—- D.G.
DG better, ranked 74th in EPM, zero ranked 138th
