Live Thread: 76ers @ Cavs
2024-02-12Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome the Philadelphia 76ers to the shores of Lake Erie for a massive Eastern Conference battle with playoff seeding implications on the line. The Sixers are in freefall post-Joel Embiid injury, after looking like one of the three best teams in the Eastern Conference for much of the season. Can they survive their Embiid-less portion of their season? A win in Cleveland would be a huge boost for them. For the Cavs, it’s about burying the competition. This is a chance for the Cavs to eliminate them from the pursuit of the top three seeds in the Eastern Conference and continue to put together one of the hottest streaks in NBA history. Can the Cavs take care of business? Stay tuned…
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcast live on Bally Sports Ohio, Go Cavs!
Just keep it within 10 or so at the half ; we can get our act together
A little janky. Just need to close well
Got to get physical with these guards. They’re getting anywhere they want.
No one other than ice is playing defense. Max is getting beat like a drum
man we’re struggling to stop them in the paint/on the boards
Starters are gonna have to carry em. Merrill’s gravity getting dudes buckets tho.
🧊 ice ice
Too cold.
Nobody boxing out…
Payne’s giving them really good minutes
Niang finally benched.
HELL PUT JONES IN THERE FOR NIANG —— NEED TO “ REV “ UP THE “D”
Spida to the rescue…
Yeah. The streak may end tonight. Not loving the vibes here.
👎
Like how the Cavs tried to play through this but it might time to get a sub. I think JB is feeling himself a bit with this challenge.
Yeah questionable…
Darius got a more confident stroke tonight…
Gonna be rough without DWade…
What is JB watching
Block someone out Georges…
Get Niang off the floor.
This is a terrible defensive lineup…
VERY GOOD POINT CLF
CAM IS A PAYNE IN THE ASS ———- KNOCK HIM ON HIS ASS
Cavs defense pathetic without wade huh…. very interesting!
Nobody who doesn’t follow the Cavs would ever believe that statement, but the stats don’t lie.
100% lmfaooo
Garland missed a WIDE open Mitchell.
yeah but that would have been a tough pass
I mean stop at the free throw line and pitch it back.
Not the best start… Cavs gotta turn the screws in Q2…
TIME FOR 12-0 RUN——- CLAMP DOWN ON HIELD —-TYPICALLY HAS GOOD GAMES AGAINST CAVS
He’s not even in a shooting motion!
There we go. Defense to offense.
Ice. With a bailout trey.
IC3!
I don’t love this lineup.
Woof. Garland roasted twice in a row by Cam Payne.
Ugh too much Cam Payne on this campaign…
WAIT UNTIL JA GETS HIS 3PT SHOT DOWN—- ( IT WILL HAPPEN) – WILL BE A BEAST!!!

No Bamba 😂
Maybe don’t feed Allen when he’s surrounded by 4 dudes there Caris…
Eh. Ja should’ve pump faked or passed. Had to know Bamba was lurking.
Lol
I forgot they had EvilGenius favorite, MO Bamba.
Didn’t love the floor balance on that shot by mitchell
Spida heating uo
Raining threes!
Struuus!
These unis have grown on me
I like em!
Winning makes everything look good.
Allen’s ability to finish around the basket with either hand is pretty impreasive
Jared with some inside moves…
Sloppy
That Mitchell pass
DISCOVERED LONG TIME AGO——- BEST CURE FOR A HANGOVER IS ……….” TO STAY DRUNK “ 👍🍺🤪👍🍺🤪🍺🤪
Defense to offense… good signs early
Reed is longer than I realized…
Great play Mobley.
Everyone with a FGA except Mitchell.
Mobes 💪🏾
Gonna miss this game, hope it’s a good one. Catch you on the other side.
Mobley fourth try is the charm.
Everyone got that super bowl hangover so far. 😂
Evan not shy early.
Garland throws Mobley a grenade to start
“ ICE “ DOWN MAXEY 🦾👌
With extra Ice, thanks.
Niggets at Bucks and Wolves at Clips the TV games tonight. Good slate on NBA TV.
Embiid, Harris, Melton, Batun, and Covington out for Philly. Don’t think Lowry is eligible to play yet.
Looks like Wade is out tonight eith an illness.
Get those Gorgeous Georges posts ready.
Bummer
Maybe some Strus at the 4 instead. Or more Mobley + JA minutes.
Right. We need to learn to deal with various shorthanded situations.
Mitchell is EC Player of the Week.

1st win for a Cav this year. PotW wins this year:
East: Embiid 3, Giannis 2, Brunson 2, Maxey, Tatum, Banchero, Randle, Haliburton, Bam, Young, & Spida all with 1.
West: Luka 2 , Booker 2 , Fox 2, Jokic, Curry, Edwards, Morant, SGA, Sengun, Big Finnish, Durant, Kawhi.
I remember when Duane Casey won COTY then was fired. 😂
Good times!
HIT THEM HARD—HIT THEM OFTEN —-TAKE NO PRISONERS—PUT THEM AWAY EARLY—WANT TO SEE SOME ZHAIRRE 👍👍🍺🍺🏀🏀
I like to think that the team rallied around JB.
Great. These guys know how to rally!
WRT Arch’s lead to Windy’s remark that JB almost got fired:
In addition to those who always wanted to fire JB, some of the “don’t do anything rash” contingent (like me) were saying that things didn’t look to be falling into place and it might be time to think about moving on.
Then things snapped into place with a bang. Hard to say if it just took time, or the double injury forced JB into a new mind set. Maybe both, but things are sure LOOKING GOOD right now.
The playoffs will determine his fate.
Playoffs will matter but think winning a 2-7 or 3-6 series will keep his job easily.
Austin Carr shitting on his own bobble heads lmaooooo
JB COTY.
Allen DPOY finalist.
Glad they are still here and nobody panicked
