Live Thread: Cavs @ Knicks
2022-12-04Good evening CtB!
The Cavs have ventured to the banks of the Hudson River to take on the New York Knicks in the historic Madison Square Garden. The Cavs have a chance to really separate from the rest of the Eastern Conference with a win tonight, firmly establishing themselves as a top three team in the East. For the Knicks, they are in absolute disarray as it has been the case since the days of Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire. Beating the Cavs would give them a major boost of confidence, whereas a loss only mounts pressure on the organization for a shakeup.
Injury-wise, the Cavs have been dealt another blow with the prolonged absence of Dean Wade due to a shoulder injury. Mamadi Diakite will start in his place (DIAKITE AGENDA LET’S RIDE!). Jarrett Allen is not back yet either.
#Cavs will be starting Mamadi Diakite in place of injured Dean Wade who has been starting for injured Jarrett Allen, sources tell @clevelanddotcom

For the Knicks they’re healthy and all hands will be on deck. Interestingly, the Knicks have been a much better offensive team but terrible defensive team, atypical of a Coach Tom Thibodeau team. In the pre-game, Coach JB Bickerstaff talked about the need to rain threes against the Knicks’ defense because of their ability to pack the paint. Hopefully this means a big night for Cavs’ shooters!
Tip off is scheduled for 6:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio, Go Cavs!
Cavs stink on the road
JB sucks so much at challenges. Best thing that happens there is a jump ball.
UGLY. Not upset Iāve missed most of this
Bleh. Whatās the point of this challenge.
This is a terrible challenge.
That call was butt.
Iām not sure the emphasis on calling traveling makes for a better product. What a shit game
Yezus. This is ugly.
How’s that a shooting foul? Should be loose ball or defensive.
Great hustle, Ice!
THERE YOU GO MOVE THE BALL
WHAT ARE YOU DOING DG PASS THE BALL TO LOVE JESUS
Garland falls asleep on D but gets three back on the other end.
Mmmmhmm
LETS GO SPIDA TO DG
Cavs need to do some growing up and learn how to compete on the road.
Cāmon,how do you let that happen?
Okoro got shed like a running back against a defensive end.
Cavs playing ball much better with Garland on the bench. Till that turnover.
Sigh.
Mobes. Smart.
WHAT A PASS MOBLEY!
What’s the story on Dean wade
Previous shoulder injury aggravated. Could be a couple weeks
Bah.
sprained/strained shoulder i suppose, gonna try non-surgical approach i’m assuming.
Garland a little stinky this game. They finally got him out.
Wow we are playing like crap, butā¦ Bengos win! Who Dey !
WHO DEY BABYYYYYYYY
Tell your dudes to stop traveling, Thibsā¦
CARIS DEFENSE! CMON LETS GOO
DG and Mitchell straight up ball hogging Sexton style, this is pathetic
Not the first game the balls been sticking to those two
trying to put on a show instead of playing the game.
I really hate that rolling the ball up the court shit.
Garland got blinders on some plays. Feels like he wants to make home run pass instead of the easy pass.
Bums,getting run off the court.Embarrassing.
Nice recovery after that drrrrrrrrrrrreadful startā¦most of it was just making some effing shotsā¦
Nice grit, finally got over their hangover
Nice run to close.
DG with a class move and giving Lamar a treat
Robinson in the lane for like ten seconds.
Showtime!
STEVENS
Mobley seems locked in.
roll with mobley, stevens, mitchell, cedi, diakite IMO
Cedi bringing it
Nice play, Cedi in transition. Nice euro Lamar.
MOBLEY COAST TO COAST!!!
If the knicks werenāt traveling weād be down 30
Dribble dribble dribble. Take a three early in the shot clock.
CEDI!
Iāll come back in the 3rd, hope to see some interest from the team.
yup, Bengals are on got them on the other screen.
Still don’t see Neto,
When DG absolutely cannot buy a shot, you know what youāre going to getā¦
Rage timeout: JB edition
DG, Ice, and Caris are all already worse than -10
Bet they all went out last night.
This game… Oof
RoLo paying off immediate dividends LMFAOOO
DG and Mitchell zero assists, pass the ball
They arenāt hitting shots though..
CARIS CAME TO PLAY LET HIM COOK

Seriously,hard to watch.
HOLY SHIT WHAT WAS THAT LMFAOOOO
Great shot there Kev
Clank-fest.
GIVE ME NETO JB
Ugly start here
Cavs are lucky Knicks suck
Thibs looks like he should be running a baseball card shop at a flea market.
Post of the month, hahahaha

BIG TIME PASS!
Still no Allen huh. Makes his return to the court after the fall positively infuriating.
nice finish DG
So far the team are following JB’s orders on those 3s
Go Cavs. Make it the Garden of plenty.
Not gonna lie, I hate these 6 pm starts.
yup esp when my bengals are on
Iām gonna have to watch it later tonight.
I here I thought Chris Francis controlled the nba schedule š¤·āāļø
