Live Thread: Cavs @ Mavs
2023-12-27Good evening CtB!
The Cavs have traversed to the banks of the Trinity River to take on the Dallas Mavericks in a big-time clash of two playoff hopefuls with winning records. This matchup would be even more intriguing if all the stars were available. But at the time of this writing, Evan Mobley, Darius Garland, and Kyrie Irving will certainly be out and there’s a chance Donovan Mitchell, Caris LeVert, and Luka Dončić will be out as well. Nevertheless, this is a chance for the Cavs to continue to build momentum heading into the soft part of their schedule and make a run at the top six in the Eastern Conference.
Tip off is scheduled for 8:30PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio, Go Cavs!
BREAKING:
Please, please, please, for the love of god, don’t let them get off a three. Foul. Their. Asses.
Good lord,that’s unbelievable
Niang 🤦♂️
Doncic is just absurd on those shots…
Luka with a push off
Caris absolutely dominated 2nd half
This is a killer effort.I almost gave up on this game 3 times.Really nice work.
Unbelievable… gonna have to go back to watch some of this
Do you believe in miracles….YES!!
What a 2nd half holy geez
JA!!!!
Doncic is such a crybaby
Unreal, JA.
L3vert lilling it
You down with LCC?
Damn 22 rebounds for JA
great challange!
Where is CPJ. That looked like a block.
Worth a challenge
Woot!! Lets go !
LFG.
Niang with maybe his best night as a Cav.
Until those missed FTs.
Can the Cavs survive the non porter minutes?
Rough start to the 4th here
DJJ walked blatantly there.
Damn. Cant help off Curry
Yeah. That’s on Caris. He’s gotta come off DJJ.
Allen’s been unbelievable tonight.
Yeah he has been everywhere
Jones just a dawg on D.
Uh oh. Cpj out let’s see if the Cavs can hang.
LCC!
L3v3rt!!!
Cavs finally doobling!
Cavs can cut it to 7 here.
LFG
God porter is so good.
Yes!
Okoro nice stretch here.
LeVert -27 in 14 minutes. Basically. The Cavs are toast whenever CPJ is off the floor.
Too bad Ty Jerome still our. Could really use a 3rd string pg right now
Yeah.
Ice trey…
Nice play Emoni and porter.
Emoni not shy. Kinda short armed that.
Pretty reverse allen
CPJ is the only reason this lead isn’t 30
Hard to understate how shit Niang has been this game.
*whole team* but yes
Disagree. CPJ has been great. LeVert good. Allen good. Okoro and Niang: utter garbage.
Allen on ball D in switches has been abysmal. Levert turning it over and Isaac has 13
Agreed. Okoro got better. LeVert got worse.
Lol woops yeah i noticed you had posted that 11 minutes ago when it was true
No worries. Allen is getting killed on switches. I don’t understand the Cavs’ scheme.
Yeah scheme is horrible. Need to trap hedge out on Doncic, not switch. He also killed TT
Not great.
Cavs keep losing Curry
I’m done with this game. I’ll check back later if it’s close.
Get the f’ing rebound
I wonder if the Cavs are working out a trade with Mitchell involved and that’s the reason he’s been pulled with an alleged “illness” for the past 5 games.
No.
It’s. Not good when Niang can’t even get close on a wide open corner three.
That’s all he’s got,and if that isn’t there it’s gonna be bad.He should never dribble .
Doesn’t feel like the Cavs are gonna have the bodies tonight.
This feels like a game where they’d need Mitchell
It’s not just him Merrill would help,
Yep
Get Okoro and Niang off the floor
Good lord.
Ye of little faith (in hindsight of course).
Cone on Nate, we only have 9 healthy guys…
Bah. Niang is in.
Doncic with a no call charge
Stop gushing over Doncic John Michael!
Man porter is a good finisher.
Would’ve been nice to see the replay on that apparent foul against Strus
Looks like Hardaway kicked his leg out in that 3 attempt
OMG this team draws a lot of garbage fouls.
Foul grifters
Woof. Okoro.
Cavs gotta stop fouling, and when they do foul, foul hard.
Two b2b lame calls against Wade.
Grifting bs
How’s that on Wade?
Jones: guys who would’ve been a 10x better signing than Niang
Ice trey
Nice d there.
Great cut porter, and rub screen by Allen.
Do we get some elder Mobley this evening? Especially if the game gets out of hand?
Looks like Luka is playing.
Mitchell is out again. What kind of illness is he battling to knock him out for 5 games? LeVert is available.
There is a nasty non covid bug going around.
