Live Thread: Mavs @ Cavs
2022-12-17Good evening CtB!
The Dallas Mavericks G-League squad have arrived on the shores of Lake Erie to take on the Cavs in what ought to be schedule win for the Cavs given the situation at hand. It will be incumbent upon the Cavs to handle their business against a squad that has no serious designs on winning the game without their do-everything player Luka Dončić and his sidekick Spencer Dinwiddie.
Tip off is scheduled for 8:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio, Go Cavs!
Man you work so hard to grind out a W against someone like Boston, and then you give it all up to the B-squad of the Mavericks. Weird game sometimes
VERY TRUE!! OKC beating Memphis by 20 without SGA and Giddey LMFAOOOO
-53.3 NET RATING JB WAKE UP
WAKE UP JB DO YOUR JOB YOU BOZO
Too afraid and for good reason because he depends entirely on the top 4 guys. No creativity to instill a system to create more than the sum of parts for bench groups. Talent matters but creative coaching and systems can create some out of less in the regular season especially.
Sub them all out. Pathetic
this lineup fucking sucks JB wake up!!!!
Okoro just getting ignored in the corner, this is a joke.
Absolutely zero reason Neto didn’t play first half. He can go out there and body up Kemba and bring energy for 5+ minutes. JB is just full of it if he tries to argue against that.
yup, he’d rather just shake his head in disgust as Kemba cooks everyone under the sun
The cavs identity is the guards not giving two f%#$s on d until the fourth. Kemba smoking them.
True, but then again Garland is on place to play 40 minutes on the second night of a B2B. Maybe he’s coasting a little. What did Neto do that got him blacklisted from non-garbage time minutes?
LMFAOO got damn that’s insane
Sigh. That definitely contributes. I find it funny that JB, no matter who is available seems to always play an 8 man rotation. Sure Wade and Diakite are out. But would he play more than 8 dudes (for significant non-garbage time minutes) even at full strength?
I suspect when Rubio comes back and even if people are healthy it will still be consistently 8 guys per game.
Much better defense in the 2nd quarter, and the offense craps out
Man Kemba makes it look easy to get to the rim and get a layup
Way too little action in the paint for the Cavs. Listen to AC and Brad
Yeah, ignoring the paint and the bigs usually a recipe for poor play from the cavs.
SPIDA LEFT HAND LETS GOOOOOO
JA KICKOUT FOR THREE CMON LETS GO
Caris and that herky jerky midrange junk. Ugh.
I don’t mind a slow pace, but I hate when DG walks it up the floor. Get it up the floor and get into your actions quicker and have more time in the half court to actually have more than one action.
Hard agree!!
ole defense from DG
THANK YOU OKORO AT LEAST YOURE PLAYING HARD
LMFAOOOO man this is so bad the entire Mavs starting lineup is out
GREAT DEFENSE LOVE!
JB rage timeout, maybe try Neto JB just a thought
Get Allen more shots.
Could say that every game.
Why does Garland play this wierd hedge defense – he just lets his guy get past him and points in the direciton the guy should get past him in
must be the scheme to ice the PNR
DG FINISH CMON NEED A CAVALANCHE
This is more like it!
GREAT DEFENSE JA
SOFT TOUCH CEDI
AGREE WITH YOU SIMMO—-NOT A GOOD SIGN IF YOU WANT TO BE A GOOD TEAM
ICE FINISH RAGE TIMEOUT CMON LETS GOOOOOO
WTF WAS THAT
FRIGGIN WAKE UP CAVS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!————–LIKE AC SAID —DO NOT PLAY DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL———-YOU NEED TO HIT THEM 1ST // HARD // OFTEN——IF NOT YOU ARE GOING TO REGRET THIS GAME THE REST OF THE SEASON —–NOW GET YOUR FRIGGIN ASSES IN GEAR !!!!……..” MORE FRIGGIN BEER PLEASE ” !!!
I fear they are willingly becoming reliant on Mitchell.
i a fast becoming a mobely believer
great pass MOBLEY!!!!
MOBLEY TO ICE TAKE TWO!!!!
Defense stunk and JB’s running 8 man lineup on the second night of a back to back, a tradition unlike any other
Unfortunate loss of handle by Mobes. Ugly mistake.
god Love makes a massive difference on offense it’s incredible wide open lane.
DG TO MOBLEY EASY MONEY
OOOH good pass Caris, Love just missed.
GOOD DEFENSE CEDI
Mav are going to basically shoot 70 threes and maybe make enough of them to win…loathe that type of basketball…
Better D right there.
CEDI WHAT A FINISH!
THANK YOU KLOVE damn his follow thru look so bad
JR!!!!!
Cavs defense stinks so far
I like fhat foul by Cedi.
:( JB just letting KLOVE flounder out there, and Diakite has been sent to Antartica
The starting lineup was even tonight.
-53.3 net. Get that weak stat outta here!
Live by the three….
oh my god Kevin’s follow thru was UGLY on that shot, his finger clearly still messed up.
Cavs should make hay when the backups play… but uninspired start.
Very much so.
THANK YOU DG
Okoro just gave up a wide open 3 to Hardaway LMFAO
totally fell asleep, completely unacceptable when you’re out there for one job.
nice shot DG WHAT A PASS DG!!!!
Cavs need to go after Kemba, instead he’s just hiding on Okoro.
Cant we get Kemba in a PNR somehow
100%
How are they giving shots here to Kemba on that foul
JA and Mobes should feed. Taking contested threes should be banned this game.
Everyone is kicking out to Ice for some reason
they’ll regret doing that in 2030 LMFAO
haha
thank you SPIDA, don’t like this start outside of a nice two way play by Ice.
DG’s radar seems a little off again.
What wierd non defesnse is Garland playing there just lettting him go on by
yeesh, blowing some good looks,
Also I love that JA daps up Serena at the start of the games
team player!
Whoa no Luka or Dinwiddie?!??! Cmon Cavs gotta have this one
Cavs in 1
I AGREE GO CAVS
ultimately will not matter, but this is a joke this lineup is a -53.3 net rating on the season

Boooo!!!! JB hates shooting. Start Cedi!
he’s on his teacher’s pet bit with Okoro SMFH
That stat is projected from a small amount of minutes into 48 or 36 averages, I presume?
If so it is nearly meaningless. As I keep telling you. But go ahead and proceed anyway. That stat (and your use of it) continue to be ridiculous.
https://www.nba.com/stats/lineups/traditional?slug=traditional&TeamID=1610612739
DG, DM, IO, EM, JA has been used in 4 games, at 2.1 minutes per game, on average. It has a +/- of -1.8 (per game). So I assume it has been outscored by -7.2 in it’s whopping 8.4 minutes of actual court time. -53 is ridiculous.

AC pretty much gets it. This should be an automatic win……if the cavs treat it as a normal game, rather than a break.
Go Cavs!
Need the right attitude tonight. Don’t play with our food.
I AGREE GO CAVS
Go Cavs!
I AGREE GO CAVS
on the same page!
LETS HOPE THE CAVS DO NOT “OVERLOOK ” THE FACT THE MAVS STILL WILL STRAT 5 NBA PLAYERS—–LETS JUMP ON THEM EARL AND OFTEN PUT THIS GAME AWAY —WOULD BE NICE BY HALF TIME ——WOULD BE NICE TO SEE NETO GET 15 + MIN’S TONIGHT ——THEY LOSE TONIGHT —IT WILL BE A GAME THAT THEY WILL REGRTE AND IT WILL HAUNT THEM THE ENTIRE SEASON—–GO CAVS !!!——–I AM BEING ” SARCASTIC ” HERE DUE TO THE EARLIER POSTS ( PRO CEDI—PRO JB ) —-HEY JB DON’T FORGET CEDI —-THE CTB MOB WILL BE MEETING YOU AT HALFTIME :-)
THATS RIGHT VOX COMMENTARIAT VOX DEI!!!!!
Go Cavs!!!
I AGREE GO CAVS
