Live Thread: Lakers @ Cavs
2022-03-21Good evening CtB!
Tonight fans are in for a treat as the Cavs welcome home 2016 NBA Champion LeBron James to the shores of Lake Erie to battle with the Los Angeles Lakers. The Cavs are riding the high of their 3-1 home stand and will be looking to make it a clean 4-1. The Lakers are in freefall mode and are in danger of falling out of the final play-in spot in the Western Conference. It appears that LeBron is in record chasing mode though and he loves to get up for occasions such as these, a homecoming game to the city where he won a ring. There’s no question it should be electric at the Rock tonight.
The Cavs’ struggle tonight will be managing the hype of LeBron’s return and just stick to business on the basketball court. The Cavs are clearly the better team and they’re expected to win, but it will take their best effort when facing the likes of LeBron. The Cavs’ defense and rebounding will dictate the outcome of the game. The Lakers are a mediocre to bad rebounding team but they love to push the pace. If the Cavs can make this a half court game and control the boards, it should be a workmanlike win.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM ET and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, Go Cavs!
Yezus. Reeves cooking em.
run the effing offense Darius!
How many games in a row have the Cavs done exactly this ?
WTF is JB and DG doing?
can we get a couple Moses mins?
WTF, GET TEH DAMN REBOUND
rebounding a miss that bad is harder than usual
This might be worth a challenge just to save third foul on Mobley.
fully on board
Westbrook is highly unlikable
wherew as the foul there?
mobely fouled russes arm with his abdomen
lol cant tell if this is sarcastic or not
Steven’s been really good so far.

LAMAR FOR THREE!!!!!! GREAT KICKOUT MOBLEY!

DG is COOKING Austin Reeves tonight
WTF DG fell asleep weakside
Maybe Lauri should take like 12-15 threes a game. Just bump his ppg up to 50 and play defense really hard
MOBLEY HELP DEFENSE!!!!!
That call was garbage. Nice flop, DJ
learned to hold his head like lebron to really sell it
GREAT PASS DG! LAURI FOR THREE!
THAT WAS A FOUL ON AUGUSTIN!
WOW DG two wide open looks,
DG AND ONE!
when you’re making the lakers defense look like the celtics defense…you’re doing it wrong
Darius gotta cook.
STEVENS HUSTLE!!!! DG FOR THREE!
DG screwed up that possession, had Lauri/Cedi wide open on teh wing move the ball.
THat was a terrible shot Cedi get the ball to Love on the mismatch WTF
Not much of a beatdown but there’s still time….more kung fu from Mobes!!!!!
Goodwin gotta score that when it’s just Carmelo at the basket.
CEDI WHAT A FINISH!
we’re screwed. all the good mojo left the arena when we got careless with the ball up double digits. gosh i hate the cocky crap that sneaks in
They were not good without Garland
CEDI BIG SHOT!
dammit that might wake LeBron up
lol mobley went Draymond Green on #6
Smack him around, Evan!
Hilarious how Vogel seems to think Avery Bradley isn’t completely washed…
You spelled “GM LeBron James” wrong.
lolol
Where have we seen this before
And there’s the side of Lebron I really don’t miss…
Some things never change
GOOD RECOGNITION MOBLEY!
Just caught up. Great first quarter aside from falling asleep on Augustin.
no. they fell asleep on the whole team. Augustin was just the only guy making his wide open looks.
My goodness BG with some speed!
THERE YOU GO GOODWIN!
KEEP ATTACKING!
Just tuning in… solid 1st quarter ?
Very
Bench didn’t play any defense.
That was better play, same love missed
LeVert with his 3rd foul sheesh
He wasn’t playing that well so maybe a little sit down gives him a reset. bring on windler’s hustle baby
cedi and goodwin need to get their head in teh game on defense
Where’s Windler?
stop losing focus cavs…the blowout is there for the taking if you just freakin make the simple plays. they suck.
DAMMIT GREAT REBOUND LOVE JUST SHOOT IT!
Man my head is spinning!!! This is heady stuff.
CAVS KEVIN >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Let’s not let a scrub like Augustin have a huge night…
seems likely he will
cant get enough of Klove this year
GREAT PASS LOVE! LAURI GREAT FINISH!
LEBRON IS GIVING US THIS ONE LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO
Wouldn’t a total beatdown of LA be nice?
GONNA ENJOY EVERY MINUTE
LAMAR STEVENS WILL NOT BE DENIED!
DG JUST BEASTED AUSTIN REEVES
GREAT PASSING LAURI FOR THREE!
Man I really want this to be a blowout
DG TO MOBLEY!
LEBRON NOT BACK STEVENS JAM!
DG! OK LETS GO
MOBLEY!!! He got the juice!
good hustle Mobley
Lakers out sharp, Cavs sleepwalking.
If the Cavs jump on em early, I don’t think this Laker team will have much interest in mounting a comeback. Expecting LeBron to come out aggressive and looking to put up numbers.
