Live Thread: Kings @ Cavs
2021-12-11Tonight, on the shores of Lake Erie the Cavs welcome the Sacramento Kings for a second game of a back to back (with travel!) for both teams. Luckily for the Cavs, they took care of business early against the Timberwolves so they come into tonight’s game in the ideal circumstance. The Kings come into the game the opposite fashion, a brutal loss in Charlotte at the hands of the walking wounded Hornets. The hangover potential for the Kings is real. The challenge for the Cavs will be internal, finishing the five games in a week strongly and with a winning record. Doing so will create momentum heading into another tough stretch of schedule until Christmas.
Cavs should have all hands on deck outside of Young Bull, while it looks like the Kings are missing a major piece in Richaun Holmes. Without Holmes this squad is completely reliant on guards to pressure the rim and score. If Tower City comes out with the right mindset they should be fixing for another beat down. The Cavs have stepped up to every challenge this season has presented, so it should be a fun one tonight at the “Rock.”
Tip off is scheduled for 8:00PM ET and will be broadcasted on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes. GO CAVS!
WHAT A PASS RUBIO,
Rubio wanted to play for a contender…. Maybe he is
Noooooo JA! Lol

Real pleasure to see Okoro looking more confident…
This team is playing so well…it’s insane how well they’re going right now…
Dirk Garland is awesome
We might need to change Ice’ s handle to the bowling ball.
C3DI!!!!!
CEDI AND OKORO TO PERFECTION
EG talks some smack on DG’s hair and he changes it up the next day. Who knew EG had so much sway.
EG goated!
DG…too good…
DG WHAT A DRIVE AND FINISH
DG and 1!
HOLY SHIT WHAT A FINISH DG!
Cedi getting respect. Love it.
Do we see some DWade in the first half with Kev on 3 fouls?
thought we might but looks like not.
Letting a Sh@#ty team hang around. We need to crush their spirit and go into halftime
Good timeout. That offensive foul call is decent.
Was literally just typing I’ll allow it once they start calling their screeners

DG TO CEDI
TT getting the friendly reunion calls
DG TO MOBLEY!!!!!!
TT splirs it.
it’s almost unfair to have 2 centers who play on ball d on the perimeter like Allen and Mobley do
Fouling TT as good as a steal
LOVE IS IN THE AIR!!! damn he’s so smart, saw the switch and leaked to the 3 pt line.
nice read DG too
LOVE DEFENSE!!!
RUBIO TO LOVE OLD MAN GAME!!!!
Not a sliver of light under their feet

WTF???? that’s not a foul????
BALL DONT LIE!!!!
ICE TOO EASY!!!
Serious hustle.
Great steal and break!
Steal and dish there you go D!!!
DEFENSE IS FUN
Indeed. Something I noticed after watching a couple games with Mobley.
LAURI AND OKORO DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!! RAGE TIMEOUT!
If Okoro can do that consistently enough that teams have to cover him this Cavs team is going to go deep
CANT STOP THE MOBLEY FADEAWAY J
Nice start, let’s go Cavs!!!
IC3!
LAURI KICKOUT TO OKORO!!!!
good defense, but no one got the rebound rare brain fart LMFAO
GREAT PASS ALLEN! good cut Lauri!
Ice strong move!
DG running a layup line out here LMFAOOOO
DG EASY MONEY
Mobes schools Bagley…
MOBLEY BALL FAKE AND FINISH!
easy money Lauri! good defense Mobley!
That’s the first tip off we’ve lost in memory
New arena announcer ?
Will interesting to see how many times Mobes/ Allen block TT’s ‘post ups’.
I forgot TT was on the Kings. He’s craftier than a lot of generic bigs actually wouldn’t be surprised to see him do ok. Will definitely get stuffed a couple times though.
You know the cavs are playing well when the preview mentions the chance of a beatdown without worrying about jinxing it. And you’re right. It likely will be.
LMFAO that’s right, going full “rat poison” mode
