Live Thread: Cavs @ Pistons
2022-11-27Good evening CtB!
The Cavs have traversed to the western shores of Lake Erie to take on the Detroit Pistons in what is essentially a glorified B-team scrimmage. Both teams are missing key pieces of their rotations and will be forced to some little used lineups and players theoretically. Coach J.B. Bickerstaff will probably buck conventional wisdom and roll with 6-man rotation given his penchant for emulating Thibs. #FreeNeto #FreeDiakite #FreeIsaiahMobley
The Pistons have been a total flop this year, with some people thinking that they’d be a young team that could make a leap. Instead they find themselves in the Wembanyama/Henderson sweepstakes. They are friskier on the offensive end than defensive end, so the Cavs will need to make sure they’re playing good defense to win.
#Cavs J.B. Bickerstaff said both Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert are out tonight against the Pistons.

The Cavs will be without Love, Caris, Stevens, and Allen. The Pistons will be without Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Isaiah Stewart, and Bojan Bogdanovic. Tip off is scheduled for 6:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio, Go Cavs!
Spida and DG a combined 6/26. That ain’t going to win anywhere.
WOW, Wade and DG blew 3 or 4 good looks LMFAOOOO
Why is DG helping in the paint and leaving his man on the perimeter?
Opposing teams treat DG like the little ramp in Excite Bike.
jesus Wade and DG blew it there…. get them off the floor
DG TO MOBLEY OK!!!!!
Woof Wade.
DG 2/10, -10 plus minus, 2 TO feel’s like more. One of the worst games I think I’ve seen him play.
extremely casual game by him.
You can see the vision by Killian, but his handle is so meh that it’s hard to play him.
and he can’t shoot LMFAO
…and he promptly drains a pair.
My jinx power is undefeated.
Nice move, Bagley (even if it was a travel)
MOBLEY HUSTLE LETS GOOOOOOO
SPIDA FINISH LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
OK, Evan!
Bad foul diakite.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING DG AND SPIDA GET UR HEADS IN THE GAME
Felt like Garland ignored the easy play to go for the lob and it cost them two.
Mobley slops in an and1
thank God that janky PnR worked.
Really nice steal and dish by Hayes
Detroit is demonstrating the “Show & Tank”. Show off players you’d be happy to trade for picks while doing your best to not win.
Mobley getting an unkind whistle, but he set himself up for this by playing like a scrub for the first 19 minutes.
MOBLEY GETTING PUNKED BY BAGLEY, NOT GOOD
REPEATEDLY, BENCH HIS ASS JB!!!
LETS GO NETO!!! SPIDA FINISH!
That was a garbage call on Cedi.
Cavs clearly not aware that Burks is a 20ppg bench guy.
DG TO NETO FOR THREE!!!!
Garland with too many low value shots early in the clock.
DG is killing us so far
what’s mobley doing.
Mobley is utter trash so far.
DIAKITE AND NETO PLAYING WELL????? IM SHOCKED
Nice d. Ice.
Nice stretch by Burks. Like to see him in a Cavs uni again someday.
That’s a terrible shot that early in the clock, Garland.
Diakite >>> RoLo
Absolutely. Infinitely more playable, can switch on defense. Rolo should be our enforcer and nothing more
DUNKA🪁!
That was a purdy dime!!
Attaway Diakite!
DIAKITE
And then you wonder why he doesn’t get at least 5-8 minutes a game ?
should be, starting today
Yup
He looks so smooth with the ball, hustle on D, hyper athletic.
Mamadi!!!0
Need Mitch to get going.
I’m starting to think DG is completely dependent on JA. He looks like absolute crap without JA on the floor
Mimadi hustle.
We got ourselves a flopoff!
More Diakite and Neto please
Playing with hustle and energy for sure!
Okoro suddenly automatic from the line.
Should’ve been a goaltender. Ball over cylinder.
Diakite!!!
Diakite looks sharp. Ready for the opportunity.
Okoro gotta learn not to lean when the guy is coming off that screen still a garbage call.
Cedi!
That travel looked bogus.
Good to see Neto and Diakite get some minutes
At least JB is going to the bench. And they’re bringing energy.
This feels like a trap game
All games without JA feel like trap games for the Cavs.
nice finish mobley now play some defense bozo
DG and Spida the best players on the court and unfortunately they know it, they’re playing hero ball and look like shit
Mobley is sucking ass get him off the floor.
put in his brother
Like I say, Cavs haven’t met a struggling team they did love getting down 10 early to.
Cavs lacking focus. Guards not passing, either.
Cavs thought they would show up and win. Whoops those guys are on NBA rosters too
yup, also this lineup is cheeks JB needs to go into concussion protocol
WTF Mobley got punked by Bey,
awful defense Mobley
great defense Mobley next possession
The Cavs are kind of a Jekyll and Hyde team
nice hustle wade, only guy ready play by my eye
Don’t like the energy at all.
Two nice boards by Wade. Two bad shots by the Cavs’ guards. Make that 3.
Woof. Bad look Mitchell.
JB better sub Lopez quick, don’t like the matchup with Detroit going small.
If JB doesn’t run a long bench against this squad, I’ll be disappointed.
I think only 9 active even?
8
JB goes with no rotation this game. 5 starters playing all 48 minutes. He’ll see your Thibs and raise you. 🃏
LMFAOOOOO I agree Go Cavs
Let’s step it up tonight Cavs. They’ve played like absolute crap with no JA.
Time for Mobley to assert himself defensively.
