Preseason Live Thread: Cavs @ Magic 2022-10-14 Off By Chris Francis EG IS IN THE HOUSE!!! Podcap: Cleveland 105, Atlanta 99 (Or, the Body Issue) Quick Cap and Other Musings: Cavs 108, Magic 114
I see the Golden State owner had to pay $140M over 4 years for the punch…
Anyone know when the official roster must be set? First game is Tuesday, so it must be pretty soon!
5pm today
Sorry I missed the LT, guys. Great game.
SORRY I HAD TO LEAVE SO ABRUPTLY–SONS/ FAMILIES ARRIVED/ BIG WEDDING TOMORROW—-SORRY I MISSED PART OF THE FUN—-GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK AGAIN EVIL / DON’T STAY AWAY SO LONG
Good times tonight. Gotta keep Diakite. Lamar looked better and Cedi and Okoro had some fun running out on the break.
I think LeVert will start as the 3, but I’m not sure he keeps that the whole season. Nice that we have depth and can play hard and not worry about fouls.
Imagine if Orlando gets the #1 and takes Wenbayama. They will be so gigantic.
Have a great night all!
Good having you back EG!
Hell yeah EG! Always love watching games with you, hopefully see you home opener!!!
Good to see Mobley get some run with no ill effects from the ankle…
Relieved he got through it.
Fun times… excited for where this team can go this season!
Hampton playing like it’s Game 7 of the ECF…
For some guy’s careers, it could be.
We went for the lead.
Is Dylan Windler still on the team?
Yes….
Yes. Injured.
Cooper with the speed!
Trying to win it by himself…
Nice to see Stevens & I Mobes have nice games. Nembhard, too.
Do we need this level of official review in garbage time of a preseason game??
Lol this is ridiculous
Anecdotal observation: Cavs have had a lot of blocked shots tonight.
Bamba & Bol.
Nice hook Sr. Mobley!
He has the same no-BS demeanor as his bro.
Gonna try to make it back for the season opener… though tough mid-week. Might be the home opener…
Really nice half there. Ice’s O and LeVert’s D gotta be the stories so far.
Like to see both going hard for the starting three spot…
Isaiah got some good handles! Shame the hook didn’t go in.
Cooper had the right idea… just too wild on the pass…
Bad luck for Pickett…
Isaiah back in.
LMFAOOOOOOO YES!!!!!!!!!!
This team has a crazy amount of depth…
Everything looks good on paper. Let’s see how they gel.
True… EC is a meat grinder this year…
Hinton….we got Hinton here
ooo i like this pic
Serene! I could use some time there.
Lol same
Happy for Jamahl Mosely… he’s gonna have a good young team soon…
He’s raw… but absolutely love Elder Mobley’s court vision…
CAVS CAN NO WAY CUT DIAKITE—WE ALREADY HAVE NICKNAMES FOR HIM —–LEGENDARY HERE AT CTB
He’s a force on the wing… could be extremely valuable depth as 3 and D
I am very curious to see how he’d handle time at the 3 with the starting unit!!!
Was thinking the same… and loved that you and Nate talked about that on the last pod… he’s gotta show consistency and learn a bit from JA and Mobes about how to guard without fouling, but that’s a not bad potential version of the big 3 lineup from last year…
oh hell yeah, thanks for the shoutout!!!
Yeah, and luckily JB is a guy who is “crazy” enough to actually try it!
Terrible call… I don’t want him to foul out before we see another three…
Bamba has good hands
LOVE IT EVIL— THREE A KITE —-HIS SHOT IS SILK FROMTHE CORNER
Diakit3!!!!
Cooper with a travel there. Ref being very kind.
DIA-KITE!!
Or in this case… THREE-AKITE!
Looks like it’s gonna be an exciting year of Cavs basketball…
👏👏👏👏
LETS GOOOO!!!! “unfinished business” as Rubio said, You called that from the beginning!!!
So glad Ricky is back… gonna be such a great influence even before the knee is fully healed… can’t underestimate how much his presence will also help Spida…
100%!!!! Spida knows what’s up, was just singing his praises yesterday, even talked about his past relationship with Neto too!
got damn it’s good to see you EG on a live thread in midseason form LMFAOOOO CtB’s Ricky Rubio!!!
Fun to be able to pop in… been a while ;)
Seems silly for Magic to still have Anthony in there…
Nice D from Caris…
Here we go: wanna see Cooper show his stuff here
MAN IF ICE CAN BE THIS CONSISTENT WITH HIS OFFENSIVE GAME THE CAVS ARE GOING TO BE A DIFFICULT TEAM TO PLAY AGAINST
Taking control out there, love to see it !
EVIL DOING WHAT EVIL DOES BEST —-LOVING IT FROM “THE MASTER “
AGREE DANK —-BOTH HAVE HAD A NICE PRE SEASON—THEY BOTH HAVE WORKED HARD ON THEIR WEAKNESSES
EVIL HAS RETURNED —DID A CLF
I COULD SEE ICE POSSIBLY MORE VALUABLE COMING OFF THE BENCH ADDING ENERGY / TOUGHNESS / DEFENSE JUST MY OPINION
Either way both he and LeVert going to play a lot
yup for sure
Yup agreed NOMAD, also allows him to play more at guard I’ve noticed, which is beneficial to his long-term growth on offense.
Nice block Side Show Bob!
Banchero and Matisse Thybulle… separated at birth?
LMFAOOOOO maybe!
Diakite has been super impressive… and all he does is win championships… high school, college, G-League and NBA. Wonder if that’s some kind of record?
I WILL BE DISSAPPOINTED // FRUSTRATED /// ANGRY IF CAVS KEEP NUMBHARD AND CUT DIAKITE ( FLY A KITE )
Don’t they have one more roster spot?
yup, and Lamar Stevens is on a non-guaranteed minimum.
He’s so much more intriguing than Stevens or Nembhard…
You know ball… (of course!)
they can’t be that stupid NOMAD bro.. the worm has turned
LEVERT WITH 4 STEALS —-GOOD STAT LINE FOR HIM
Great defensive energy from our first unit there to close the half
EVIL// SIMMO –HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN ABLE TO WATCH “THE PRIDE OF CLEVELAND ” GAURDS ———-SUCH A YOUNG EXCITING TEAM TO WATCH// ROOT FOR !!!
A bit… it’s been harder to try and find a feed for the playoffs out here, but the MLB app had me covered for reg season
I catch some of the games. I particularly like the postgame interviews, the team is a riot.
Great end to the half… Cavs feasting on Magic minus starting backcourt…
DITTO WHAT SIMMO POSTED —-NEED MORE “EVIL ” TIME
Appreciate it NOMAD
I figured if Mobes could come back for the preseason finale… I could too lol
Brother you have been missed. Not least of all your top shelf GIF action in the live thread.
I might be limited on the GIFs tonight but will see if I can throw one or two up if possible…
LEVERT S 3 PT SHOT LOOKS SMOOTHER AND HE LOOKS ENGAGED ON DEFENSE AS WELL AS IMPROVING AS A PASSER / DISTRIBUTOR
Nice comeback LeVert…
Iceman!
EVIL FRIGGIN GENIOUS WOW ……..” MORE FRIGGIN BEER PLEASE “—-WELCOME BACK !!!!!
Benefits of insomnia lol…
Late night EG >>>>>>>>>>
HAVE MADE MY “GM ” DECISION —CUT NUMBHARD—KEEP DIAKITE (FLY A KITE ) —STEVENS HAS LOOKED BETTER—ICE SO FAR PRESEASON HAS IMPRESSED —-CUT COOPER—–WINDLER PUT ON INJURY LIST—KEEP “ELDER ‘ MOBLEY
That Diakite corner trey sure is buttery…
EG!!!!!
Sup Simmo!
Diakit3!!!
Diakite > Stevens
Sorry guys, I’m blacked out of the game somehow down in Cincinnati, I’ll be trolling the comments tho and i’ll try to watch the replay!
I’m stuck watching boston toronto on NBATV SMFH!
Ugh!
Did you try the Bally app? If you have cable then can still watch it on the app
yeah, that’s the app that’s not working actually LMFAOOOOO waiting for my sister to get home to try and fix it.
You’re not missing much. Though it’s nice to see Mobes on the court.
Too many whistles tonight. Basketball’s supposed to be fun refs…
This lineup is disjointed….
These guys will either never play together in the regular season and some of them aren’t going to be playing in the NBA.
Here’s hoping. I don’t wanna see that 5 again. Diakite to the rescue.
Seen enough of Nembhard. Doesn’t create plays when he penetrates, doesn’t hit open shots, just very meh
Neto has stirred the drink enough that you could almost expect the Cavs coaches to use him more like Rubio than a third option behind a 3rd shooting guard off the bench.
Isaiah Mobley looks like he can hang a little and I can’t wait to see more of him.
Still not as convinced as others seem that LeVert looks improved over his slump last season. Seems hesitant with creation and uninterested on D.
That’s always been my expectation regarding Neto.
Really don’t know what they’re going for starting 3. JB’s recent comments make think Okoro is going to get the call.
Nice finish from Cedi. Underrated scorer around the rim. He can get the ball up so quick and from weird angles.
