Live Thread: Cavs vs Magic
2022-10-26Cleveland hosts the unfeated Orlando Magic tonight, who are hungry for a win I’m sure. The Cavs will be without Darius Garland once again, but he did fortunately practice with the team today.
Darius Garland's eye is still significantly swollen, but he continued practicing today which is only good news for the #Cavs. pic.twitter.com/6q1LvQl9Z0

Windler and Rubio also remain out. For Orlando, Fultz, Mo Wagner, Jalen Suggs, Gary Harris, and Jonathan Isaac are also out. They Cavs will have to contend with Orlando’s size and the stellar play so far of Paulo Banchero, Cole Anthony, and Bol Bol(?). Keeping Orlando’s lengthy dudes off the boards especially Wendall Carter Jr. Look for Cleveland to run early and often to negate the Magic size advantage. This team turns the ball over a lot and doesn’t defend will. Trust Austin Carr to say “you gotta hit em in the mouth early.” See you at 7!
MOBLEY RIGHT HOOK!
Mobes is alive
Mobley block!
Ice cannot guard Paolo
It is a ridiculous ask.
THAT IS NOT DISINTEREST!!!!
Finally some life from Mobes on D.
That’s what I want to see MOBES!
THERE YOU GO MOBLEY!!!!!!!!!
Love and Donovan refused to pass to Okoro, that was ugly.
Agreed.
Well, that sucked. From 10 down to 4.
Good TO.
I think Orlando may be hungrier than us. If we let them hang around, it could be trouble. I was hoping we were gonna apply foot to neck, & they got right back in it.
Is Mobley simply not playing hard enough? He looks so passive, playing defense like he’s got five fouls
he does seem rather disinterested.. i am hoping last year was not an illusion
It wasn’t.
He is just trying to adjust to Mitchell instead of DG.
This is what I am choosing to believe.
WTF THATS THREE TIMES!
Franz and Bol are scoring on Mobley tonight.
Mobes and ice back to back buckets. LETS GO
ICE OPEN COURT!
Ice & Mobley both with recent buckets.
MOBLEY THAT LOOKED GOOD!
Not sure if the magic are the team for Mobley to get better looks on, to be honest. Long and athletic.
Cavs need to keep the Magic away from the rim better.
Bol looking like he might have an NBA career of some sort. I thought he was probably on his way out of the league.
Bol had a good game last game as well. He is confident right now.
Banchero does have game.
He’s looked good this year.
Banchero has game
MITCHELL WHAT A FINISH!
Shooting is off, but Cavs awareness is good.
3 pt prowess + spida and garland.. i smell a chip
Cross court skip passes are on point. LeVert/Cedi/Okoro gonna have tons of open looks this season
CEDI EN FUEGO
Yep. He is playing wonderfully.
Part of me says start him, but I think I’d just keep him where he is. Don’t mess with a good thing.
Weird game so far…
We are lights out from deep except for Mitchell. Some nice playmaking.
Time for Lopez soon.
FWIW, I. Mobley is with the Charge, so Diakite is active tonight.
Cedi like greased lightning
CEDI!
Spida back. Ice in for Caris.
CARIS TO CEDI!
Oops, Mobes for Allen.
Even more of a test
Here is the test: Neto, LeVert, Osman, Love, Allen.
WTF, JA just missed point blank, gotta dunk that.
what a pass Caris, nice and high for the big man!
I’m liking Neto. He knows how to run an offense
Allen with tue hulk smash!!!
BROOKLYN CONNECTION
Free throws misses killing us…. and missed bunnies
And a missed dunk.
1-4 on FTs.
Love and Cedi immediate positive impact.
Love and Cedi in.
Great to see Cedi so confident. Great attack.
for sure, he looks fantastic
JB disagrees with me.
Damn, Wade with two fouls already. He’s 0laying great D and boxing out hard. I like the aggressive play.
Wade is getting refballed hard, he’s gotta come out
Well, not really. He isn’t essential. I’d let him keep playing. Until the 3rd.
Osman & Ice can fill that spot nicely. LeVert as well.
he got subbed out immediately LMFAO
Orlando is big, I think that’s why they started Wade over Ice
SPIDA TO CARIS AGAIN!!!!
LeVert cannot make a lefty layup, but drains another 3.
MObley doesn’t look good to start, late contests, and a turnover.
WOW WHAT A SHOT SPIDA
Be nice to see Mobes show out a bit tonight.
damn Caris has no left hand finish,
BS CALL GREAT DEFENSE WADE!
SPIDA TO CARIS
Did not take Wade long to exceed Okoro’s 3PT total as a starter.
Right??
WHAT A PASS CARIS! WADE!!!!!
Magic holding JA’s jersey…hope the refs don’t screw us to tonight.
wow, JA and Spida smoking bunnies
I am so used to JA,being automatic from in clise I am surprised when he misses.
Damn lid on the basket
coach fratello singing caris praises on defense, it’s certified!
Let’s Gooooo!!!

THIS WINDLER INJURY IS PERPLEXING—-I AM NOT A DR BUT MAN THAT ANKLE INJURY WAS 4-5 WEEKS AGO ????
https://twitter.com/ChrisFedor/status/1585389026025971712?s=20&t=BYJsbcDJ_wHk-P3hqaDyxA
LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
Despite being almost alone on Okoro Island, this move makes sense. Orlando is big, this should help on the boards. Better floor spacing for us. And I don’t think they have a perineter guy you need A1 defense on. Spida, LeVert, and Wade should do OK vs Cole Anthony, Ross, & Wagner.
If someone starts going off, bring in the cooler.
LMFAO hell yeah Nate! love the Austin Carr call!
And go Cavs!
Orlando missing a lot of guys.
They seem to have hit on Banchero.
Unfortunately for them, Windler, Fultz, & Isaac always seem to be hurt.
Go Cavs!
