Live Thread: Cavs @ Rockets
2023-01-26Good evening CtB!
The Cavs have made their way to down to the Gulf of Mexico to taken on the Houston Rockets in what will be a test of the Cavs’ ability to handle trap games on the road. The Rockets are one of the worst teams in the NBA; they’re badly coached, perform comically on the court, and have lost nine out of their last 10 games. It’s the NBA so any team can beat anyone on a given night, but if the Cavs take a loss to the Rockets it ought to be considered alarming to say the least.
The Cavs will have to do so without Donovan Mitchell, who wanted to play for the home crowd that he ended up re-injuring the groin that kept him out a few games. In retrospect it was a selfish move on his part, and a stupid move on the organization’s part. Whatever the “plan” was that got him back on the court prematurely should be canned. Protect the franchise player from himself, even if he hates you for now he’ll thank you for it later!
Kevin Love is also out, who hasn’t been the same since breaking his thumb. Maybe it’s a sign of a different approach to injuries by the training staff, one can only hope.
#Cavs Donovan Mitchell (groin) is OUT tonight against Houston, sources tell @clevelanddotcom. Kevin Love (back spasms) is also OUT, sources sayhttps://t.co/fQMP2KVTC1

Jalen Green might be a really good player in the future, but, man, I’m glad the Cavs didn’t end up with him.

Cavs doing what they should do to this terrible team. I don’t know how anyone watches this Rockets team every night. It’s like watching a crappy pickup team at the Y.

Houston is barely an NBA team.
I’d like to see the Cavs wrap this up by half time!
Caris with the sweet footwork
3-A-KITE WOULD MATCH UP WELL AGAINST THIS TEAM GIVE HIM SOME MINUTES

Always nice to see us getting and making open shots instead of being on the other side of it.

NEED TO STEP ON THE HEAD SND KEEP IT THERE NO LET UP PUT THIS FRIGGIN TEAM AWAY
Bring in Neto and heck even Lopez for this one.
Neto and D-kite.
Cedi is always good on the break and cutting to the rim.
JB going 8 man rotation on a back to back, gotta love it!! LMFAOOO
I guess he’s hoping to get the game in control, get a blowout and then put the bench in for garbage minutes..
Tari Eason Agenda >>>>>>
Cavs are getting lulled into gym ball,
Feels like an exhibition game
Houston totally unprofessional top down LMFAO
Right. Why do they have a coach?
Debatable
It doesn’t help that Houston is wearing old Washington generals uniforms
Yeah they look like they’re from the 90’s
PASS THE BALL TO MOBLEY DG
Got home just in time to see James Dean Wade back door. So good to see. Then some so,I’d defense.
Nice to not have to be boatanchored by mandatory klove minus minutes
Yeah he need some rehab and reps in a private gym for a while.
DEAN WADE DPOY
Those Rockets unis are fugly!
12 points, 5 rebounds for Mobley.
Wade and Cedi first off the bench and dominating, how surprising!!!! /s
Nice bench minutes so far.. 11 second chance points for Cavs
Gosh the Rockets are horrible!
Honestly dont care… we just need to win and get some productive bench minutes.

But they are still shooting 10-17/58% from the field.. basically the same as us but just that we have 7 more attempts.
Great hustle for the rebound with the 5 point possession..
