Live Thread: Bulls @ Cavs
2023-02-11Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome the Chicago Bulls to the shores of Lake Erie for a classic Central Division showdown. The Cavs are attempting to extend their win streak to six games, second best in the Association to the Milwaukee Bucks. To do so, they will have to beat a perfectly mediocre Bulls team wallowing at the bottom of the play-in standings. The bigger question for the Cavs is how dead are those legs after last night in New Orleans? Also, does J.B. Bickerstaff decide to go eight-deep or will Raul Neto, Lamar Stevens, or dare I say Kevin Love make an appearance? #FREENETO #FREELOVE
Interestingly, the stats on the Bulls tell a different story than what one might think about this current version of the Bulls. In spite of the “offense-only” guys such as DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine grabbing the headlines for the Bulls, they are actually winning with a top 10 defense and a bottom 10 offense. They don’t move the ball that well and they don’t crash the glass. It’ll be interesting to see how the Cavs cover DDR and Zach, do they just stay home and make them shoot or do they flash a double and force a pass?
Tip off is scheduled for 8:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, Go Cavs!
Rubio 0-4 from 3. But some good heady plays.
Looks like Heat and Magic going to OT…Magic had a decent lead in the 4th…
Magic are gonna be a good team in the next couple of years
They started 5-20 and are over .500 since.
18-14 since, pretty decent.
Cant depend on these bad teams to win these type of games.. Houston loss on a alley oop from Butler.
Is this a 4 guard line up?
looks so.. guess he wants some scoring and speed.
JA Rastafaria!
DG3!!!!!!!!
if we could just get some energy this is still winnable
Cavs need to keep it simple..
Just feels like this one will take a miracle to win…like running in quicksand…
They just don’t have it tonight.
Man the Bulls suck but I don’t know if I’ve ever seen the Cavs look so tired
DG gets hits in the face a lot and they barely review for a flagrant… I mean I’m glad they are reviewing this one though.
I’m going to ask for the Patrick Williams hairdo next time I’m at the barber.
We need a lil run to get it to 5-6 or so.
jeez i am never ever buying tickets to the second of a b2b game. these guys look like 45 year olds in the gym out there
I do want to watch a Cavs game live. Need to look at these type of scheduled games.
Since 33.. 23-11 run by Bulls…
Some of these foul calls 🤦♂️
Mobley was fouled
Dumb foul
Tough shot for JA there, but all these misses are brutal…
Especially when Drummond is hitting his shots inside and Vucevic hit a shot coming from t baseline.
It was a great pass by DM though.. wish he flushed it.
The Nets lost, and they were in the lead for a majority of the game. So good news, win or lose we are staying in 4th place.
They lost to the 76ers.
I’m liking this half time show by the youths.
I miss having the league pass feed. No halftime show for me just the Ken Ganley KIA crone 35 times
Lol it’s the Bally Sports Ohio feed. That KIA commercial would be on mute.
It’s like somebody typed “soulless blonde mannequin that sells cars” into an AI
Lol I feel for her as the literal “spokesperson/face” of KIA Ohio.
Oh yes, it was the league pass feed. It was the Detroit Youth Choir.. that got the Golden Buzzer on America’s Got Talent.
Sorry if somebody already said this, but they just said Cavs got in at 4am. That’s so stupid
Yeah agreed.
2 points in the last 5 + minutes. Yikes.
Gonna take a heck of an effort to win this one. And some real mins management by JB
Not sure I buy dead legs, the D has been great.
Seems like it’s harder to shoot then play defense with tired legs.
40 point half. Those shots are going to start falling. We’re getting good looks
Cannot complain about the defense. 49 points.
Still in it. Down 9. Putrid offense.
We need to start going inside … 5-18 from 3..
and they were all wide open looks
Just can’t make a freaking shot…
Chicago will fold if we can keep it close in the second half
Ugly!
8 TO’s by Bulls this quarter but still haven’t been able to capitalize.
Wade didn’t even foul there
Let’s close this quarter tied or something
JA block!
Oops. Wrong guy.
DM with those ups
got damn PRAYER 3 BY DG LETS GO
This just feels like a schedule loss. 5 in 7 days is stupid.
There we go, DG3!
DG3! Needed that
Woof. Tired legs.
Wade can’t hit sh$t. Put in Love!
brutal
Cavs shooting below 40%.
No legs. They look exhausted
Jesus this is clown shit, WHERE THE HELL IS NETO AND LOVE JB?????? STEVENS????? NEED FRESH LEGS
12-4 run since it was 33-33 and JA missed 2 free throws.
Cavs don’t look too spry tonight.
Whoever scheduled this game needs to be canned.
SILVER FOR TURBO PRISON
LOCK HIM UP!
Still time to regroup. Let’s get this under six by half.
Allen & Mobes need some help.
Somebody
DG struggling need him to snap out of it
I know it’s something he really worked on last offseason, but it’s really impressive how much DG moves off ball now. Similar to Curry, although not quite to that extent yet. Gets himself open for a lot of good shots after passing it off.
Hell of a play there, Mobes…assist to Ice…
I’d maybe give Love some minutes
Yep. Seconded.
Drummond flop.
JA STEP THRU AND FINISH!!!!! WHAT A PLAY
Tough shot, love it !!
Fro is feasting.
ICE STEAL RUBIO LOB CEDI FINISH!
Drummond revenge game
Ice chilly from deep.
Mobley made 2 triples in a quarter.
I posted 8n wrong thread, but rare minutes with neither DG or DM on the court. Couod be more common with Ricky healthy, but I suspect the b2b has a lot to do with it.
why is garland still sitting?
B2B
agreed except he barely played last night
Maybe JB wants to experiment with less staggering of minutes and more DG & DM minutes together.
Caris should have passed the ball on the fast break.
Bulls need to let Drumm cook…
incredible pass Spida, we ain’t hitting any corner 3s right now
SPIDA OFF THE DRIBBLE
This could be a rough one
just lookin slow out there
yup, giving into the tiredness, JB needs to utilize the bench quickly and often.
MOBLEY MAKING THREES LETS GOOO
Tonight:Windler!!!!!!!!!
The hell you say!
