Live Thread: 76ers @ Cavs
2023-03-15Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome the Philadelphia 76ers to the shores of Lake Erie for a primetime, nationally televised showcase between two of the elite teams in the Eastern Conference and NBA at large. The Cavs are fighting to stay alive for the third seed in the playoffs while the Sixers will be looking to essentially lock that third seed up. The Cavs will have to play the perfect game in order to pull off the upset, this is their second game of a back to back and they will still be without big man Jarrett Allen. However, it looks like Ricky Rubio has his minutes/rest restriction lifted as he’s available to play tonight. Other than missing bench piece Jalen McDaniels, the Sixers are healthy and very rested.
The Sixers statistically are one of the best teams in the NBA, especially on the offensive end. They have very few weaknesses, but they can be exploited on defense by crashing the boards and pushing the pace. They don’t rebound all that well and they don’t like to run. Unfortunately their offense is so good those opportunities to run will be far and few in between.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:30PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes and nationally on ESPN, Go Cavs!
Bring it, Cedi…
My god Cavs hoisting them 3s !!!
ITS BEAUTIFUL
The Jedi
Dang it. Good effort.
Cavs need to keep that up.. also helps that we are playing against the bench right now and there is flow in the game and not every offensive possession is a foul against us for Philly.
Let Caris cook!
LET CARIS COOK!!!!!!!
DIAKITE DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!
CARIS FOR THREEEEE!!!!!!!!!! SMOKING HOT
YOU LIKE THAT JB?????? DIAKITE DESTROYED PHILLY THE FIRST GAME REMEMBER??????
Kite sighting!
Diakite!!!
JB going deep into the bench tonight
Despite us fouling so much (10-11 FT made).. our defense (mostly TO’s) not per se shooting since Philly is shooting 57% is keeping us in the game.
+ 8 more field goals attempts for Cavs.
DIAKITE AGENDA LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO JB IN HIS BAG FINALLY
Mobley gotta give it to a guard. Still, benching the IceLlama helped.
And DM was right there.. I mean the idea was good for the easy 2 but still
Good choice to let Neto bug Maxey.
#FREENETO AGENDA TO THE MOON!!!!!!
JUST BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF EMBIID MAKE HIM PAY #COACHNATEWISDOM
Cavs gotta be more disciplined with their doubles and yeah. They need to be more physical and beat him up a bit.
Like this lineup.
me too it has energy.
MOBLEY TO MITCHELL LETS GOOOOOO
CARIS TO MOBLEY LETS GOO
SHOWTIME!
Maxey gonna kill us again.
6 turnovers for Philly.. and our 1st FG in about 4 minutes.
Embid breaking Wilt’s 100 point record tonight?
Cavs
5-15 FG
2-9 3PT (2-6 non DM/DG) (0-3 DM/DG)
3-4 FT
Philly
7-11 FG
2-4 3PT
8-9 FT ALREADY
Think u gotta double Embiid every play.
He’s 4-4 right now
Cavs have gotta set better screens.
Woof.
Embid: 11
Cavs: 13
Cavs are now a shit rebounding team.
Gotta keep those hands out.
That move by the Turd wasn’t even basketball. Just bullshit.
Liking the defensive effort so far.
offense designing Mobley and Okoro 3s… SMFH
Just crazy.. all our non shooters… just great
5 second count out of the timeout ?… smh ..
Honestly doing better than I thought. Both teams hitting tough shots. The BS officiating the difference.
Mobley gotta shoot that.
THANK YOU OKORO NOW PLAY SOME DAMN DEFENSE
Ice and Stevens both with treys
MOBLEY WHAT A FINISH
GREAT DEFENSE SPIDA
Did not expect Stevens to hit that.
How I feel everytime.. hit shot mechanics doesn’t look good.
agreed, a little bit of old lonzo ball/mkg in it.
THANK YOU STEVENS
Three looks to Get a miracle two point j
Iccceeeee!!!!
SPIDA SAVES THE DAY WITH SOME JUNK LMFAO
There’s just not enough offense in this lineup. Okoro giving them nothing.
WHAT IS OKORO DOING????????????
I need to find a Bally sports feed.. stuck with the ESPN feed… eventhough I don’t mind Doris Burke.
This could get ugly
This is ridiculous. Sixers gonna shoot 50 FTs tonight
IS THIS A JOKE?????????????
GET OKORO OUT OF THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not sure how much of this garbage I’ll be able to stomach…
These fouls … omg
Hard to watch for sure.
Not sure I like Ice and Stevens in together
GET OKORO OUT OF THERE
Okoro has to finish that, Philly completely overloading the strong side with Stevens and Okoro on the weak side.
Stevens needs to be involved on offense or get him out JB!!!!
How is he shooting ?
Foul merchant Joel Embiid
TERRIBLE CALL ALREADY SMFH
Shit call right off the bat.
This lineup is gonna get waxed. Expect a big start for the Sixers.
50 piece from Mitchell would be just the ticket.
Hope everyone is prepared for the onslaught of Golden Turd foul hunting.
Personally, I’ll take the Turd over Embiid’s crap…but they both suck…
I hate playing teams/players like that .. like Jimmy
This is probably going to be ugly, unfortunately…
yeah, i expect the Cavs to run out of gas in the 4th for sure.
Yikes Dan Gilbert is in a wheelchair.
barely can talk too.
Philly 2.5 point favorites
Let’s goooooo!!!!
I AGREE GO CAVS
