Live Thread: Cavs @ Kings
2023-11-13Good evening CtB!
The Cavs are in the Central Valley of California for their penultimate stop along the Pacific Coast to take on the Sacramento Kings for a sneaky big game against a team that swept them last season. Like the Cavs, the Kings have stumbled out of the gate after a magical year last season partly due to the injury to De’Aaron Fox, though there are rumors he will be back for tonight’s game.
The Cavs are trying to build off of two solid wins against the Golden State Warriors and climb up the Eastern Conference standings. As it was against Golden State, Tower City will need to dominate the game against a smallish Kings squad to come away with the win. The Cavs’ offense and rebounding still stink to high heaven, and Georges Niang and Tristan Thompson have been completely unplayable. So there’s plenty of room for improvement at this early point of the season. Luckily, MVP candidate Donovan Mitchell has been holding the fort down and DG, JA, and Mobley should continue to get better as they find their rhythm.
Tip off is scheduled for 10:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio, Go Cavs!
Someone snuff out that ginger f$ck
Garland
Thankfully Sabonis stinks from the FT line.
D nonexistent
Give me a break
Slow tf down,
Get the damn rebound
These TOs….
Mobley like tragic Johnson with that lob.
JA not to be outdone
Wtf Mobes
Nice pass Mobley!
Followed up by a really bad pass.
Cavs pace is ok now, just gotta hit some shots.
Spida coming alive
SPIDA
I feel like they’ve trailed by 5/6 points, a number of times, then Sac inflates to 11. Need to keep this deficit going into the half.
Why u gotta jinx em?
Mad Max
Mitch can’t play that far off keegan
Too freaking open.
Do they have Amish in Oz, Simmo?
No, I don’t think so. A few small pockets of Brethren around, so I hear.
What’s the next prediction Lips Smith?
I tried below.
LeVert just out of sync tonight.
Ugh Caris
Turning into a good game, Kings still slicing through Cavs D though.
CtB’s own Colin McGowan on bluesky.
Cavs could use a 20-0 run
Rough luck for Len, good for Cavs. Hope they can take advantage.
Could use some Mitchell not sucking
From my lips…
Heh!
I feel like the Cavs are gonna need some TT minutes.
From your lips…
Cavs in the bonus!
Kings getting to the rim at will.
Cavs working on getting in the bonus early.
Very happy for Fox to take under-pressure corner threes….
That’s a terrible fucking call. Nice challenge, JB.
How’s that an illegal screen?
Ooh
Punish the drop coverage, Darius!
Gotta hit those freebies.
Garland sold that.
Whats it like to have wet 3 point shooters? Niang just fires off an airball wtf
No one within 15 feet of Caris.
Bad Caris this stretch. Also didn’t get some calls.
Rushed, impatient shots in that bad stretch.
This quarter got away from them.
Get. Niang. Off. The. Floor
He does have 7 points in the first quarter.
Leading scorer.
JFC George’s. Missed Caris wide open in the corner.
Mitch ice cold. Cavs playing really fast, and normally if hate that but they need to practice playing at this speed against slow teams.
Chris’s guy Keon Ellis!
Mitchell cold.
Does Mobley make those shots in practice?
It’s a terrible look
A fading J doesn’t seem like his shot
It’s just not a good shot with double digits on the clock.
Man. LeVert leaves no room chasing around a screen then cans a three
Niang putting all the haters in body bags 😅
Finally Niang.
Great hustle Monley!
JA nice activity
Big 2 Big
Beauteous!
Don’t breath on Sabonis but he can throw elbows
Where’s the foul?
Terrible possession Mobes
How’s that a travel?
DG3!
Darius!
Boner is a tough guard.
Allen has to look for his shot there.
I dislike Playing against sabonis
For sure. Always seems like someone is about to get injured.
Ffs, how you call that on JA
How’s that a foul on Allen?
. Always impressed with Sac’s crowd
Feel like they will dominate Cavs in the paint.
PS Go Cavs!!
This will be another tough game.
Go Cavs!
Is it possible to ever get an Isaac Okoro or Ty Jerome update other than just a game-to-game “out” status? I don’t get it.
Okoro knee. Jerome ankle.
I guess I meant an estimate for how long they will be out. Jerome has been out for awhile now. This was a criticism of the Cavs, not CTB.
