Live Thread: Cavs @ Nets
2024-02-08OK. Cavs should win this one. Nets don’t have the guys they traded today, don’t have the guys they acquired today, and dont have a bunch of guys available due to injury. Let’s break it down.
Day’Ron Sharpe: Out (Knee)
Lonnie Walker: Out (Hamstring)
Cameron Johnson: Out (Adductor)
Dorian Finney-Smith: Out (Ankle)
Dariq Whitehead: Out (Shin)
By my count they will only have 8 or 9 guys available. Maybe more if they got guys on two ways? Run these guys into the ground and let the deep bench eat. We start peeling the bikini pieces off the Spikee Lee in a bikini Fathead right now.
Luka leading team in pts, tens and asst. Mavs by 15 over NYK
OK. Garbage time.
Like JB just wasting prime CPJ minutes… smh
Merrill Flynch in the big Apple?
Again though, why have Mitchell in there with a 25 point lead with five min left?
JB trust issues.
Who hurt you JB?
26.. Lord knows.
TBF it was 25.
Mitchell only played 30 who cares
right. BFD.
Gwagon
All wheel drive’s
This team just rolls…
Where did Cam Thomas come from? Was he with the Suns before?
You’re thinking cam Johnson (also on this team) Thomas is a fourth year guy from lsu.
Too many Cams…
Why put Spida back in here?
Cavs always play their starters with a 15-20 pt lead with a few minutes left.. never understand.
Gorgeous Georges!
Nice.
Minivan like he’s at the Brooklyn y
lmaoo
Georges needed that.
x2
JB… please consider benching Vert when he plays this way…
10 blocks by Cavs already…
Scratch that… it goes to 11!
11
12!
I just have to say I’m not a fan of Garlands game. He can’t seem to beat his man off the dribble and plays with such a slow pace. And he’s not a certified bucket getter. I’d rather have Cam than Garland
Bad decision that Levert passed up that shot but it paid off by getting another chance to make Ben Simmons look dumb.
Would so rather see CPJ drive and kicks instead of Vert drive and weak pull-up in the lane… just sayin
Somewhere, Ben Werth is wincing.
Or nodding in disgust…
I hate seeing this.. its almost always short..
Que Levert pull up stats:
54-161 =33.5%
Lol. Simmons
Donovan has 3 blocks and 3 steals in this game…. some great defense!
DG dayum.
Little sloppy at the end but still a 21 point lead…
Since we went 21-0, the nets have gone 18-10 in the last 6:39 minutes of the 3rd.
Woof these Niang/Garland lineups.
Niang is cheeks.
Bucks, Knicks and Pacers all down at the moment…
Realize Brunson isnt playing.. s
Pacers lost… Bucks down only 14 in the 3rd at home.. lets see if the Wolves can keep the lead.. they’ve lost the most games after having a 10pt lead in the 4th since the start of the year… I think 3-4.
And OG just had elbow surgery 👀
24 fast break points for the Cavs so far.
Donovan Mitchell… two way player!
Great steal and then block by Donovan.. and then Allen just throws the ball away cause he didn’t want to dribble.
Just tuned in. This looks like a tune up game.
It was tight in the first half
As J Mike just suggested, Ben Simmons poked the beast to start the 3rd by shove of JA and smirk, and mayhem ensued
21-0 run for the Cavs to start the 3rd quarter… amazing!
Putting the CAV in CAVALANCHE
Spida has taken 12 shots. Everyone else is between 2 & 6.
21-0 (and counting) to start the 3rd.
Well, this is one way to come out of the half.
Cavalanche to start the 3rd!
At the Brooklyn Library
His defensive gravity just sucks the ball away from the offense…
Mobley is a black hole (in a good way)…
What a play on defense and offense for DM. wow!
Let’s put these dudes away early and get some CPJ action…
In progress
I definitely support some CPJ action
Donny working on his form for the three point contest…
Sadly we don’t have TT to come in and hulk out on Simmons
Would love to see someone wipe that smirk off Simmons’ face.
Who else rooting for a loss from the Bucks and Knicks tonight ? both are currently down.
Man they better not eject JA for that
We’ve been a bit lucky this half; going to need a bit more to finish the game as I think we’re getting just slightly outplayed
Other than giving up too many points in paint, pretty solid first half…
Get That Weak Stuff Outta Here!
Is it me or is this game going super fast?
Might just be the trucker speed you’re on to watch these games at 4 in the morning :)
Fair point 😃
Three on Claxton now…
Too much offensive rebounds for the Nets.. 26 pts in the paint for the Nets too.
Seems like Claxton might be the problem…
Unlike JA to fall for the banana in the tailpipe…
haha forgot about the banana in the tailpipe
Hammer thrown down!
Glad we’re hot from 3 to start; this game is going to get tight in the 2nd half when we cool down
That was poetic! Bounce pass to supersoaker Sam
Good find by Georges…
I strongly disagree with Niang and Garland sharing the floor. Thats too much defensive liability
Agree
Bang bang! It’s raining threes!
I hate this line up.
Good for DG to see one go through the hoop…
Fast start! Just keep the ball away from Thomas…
or maybe Johnson! But probably Thomas!
😂
Sure looked like Mobes got hacked there…
Mobley can be such a beast inside when he’s determined…
Stop it, Dean!
🕷️🕸️
The forearm shiver into Struss seems like it shoudl be an offensive foul to me
Yep
Two quick ones on Claxton…
Deeeaaaannn!
Ouch DG… good D tho
Cavs look bouncy… hope they can sustain that energy on b2b…
Wow! Spida bite!
Mitchell came to play!!!
Thank goodness no Cam Johnson – that guy torches us
I think it’s the other Cam (Thomas) who torches us…
Ah dang, you might be right
