Live Thread: Cavs @ Rockets
2024-03-16Oh geez! Didn’t realize the game was on this early! TT is back from the juice penalty box. Wade, Evan Mobley, Max Strus, and Ty Jerome are out for the Cavs, while the Rockets are missing a contingent of dudes. Alperun Sengun, Cam Whitmore, Tari Eason, and (all season) Steven Adams are on the DL for Houston. Like Cleveland, Houston is 3-3 in their last six, but they’re all against losers like the Spurs, Blazers, and Wizards. Go Cavs.
Grab. The. ball.
Woof, did they know they had another half? Looking like they’re ready to head to the bus…
Call a timeout.
Garland with an abysmal start on defense.
He’s had a shit year!
I believe amen Thompson scored approximately 20 points on 1 on none fast breaks that half …
Would have been a good game to have Strus and Wade avail…
Well, let’s see what JB can say to rally the troops.
Well… it probably can’t get worse…
Horrible game!
Given up 70 in the first half 🤦♂️
Whatchu lookin at Georges?
Garland has been ass.
Spida not much better either…
Cavs have had too many of these stretches.
Hopefully they clean up the poor 3 point defense in the second half.
And the poor interior defense on that layup.
Even Jabari can’t believe he made that…
Woof.
I bet he challenges this.
That was not up and down!
Did he keep his foot down?
Nice bailout JA
Merrill has been fantastic on the boards.
Nice drive, Ice
Cavs should be running a layup line on these tiny Houston humans…
Would enjoy a nice close.
I’ve never been to Houston, but I hear it’s a very diverse community with a good food scene.
It’s like the 4th biggest city in the US.
Defensive effort non-existent today…
Needed that DM 3!
How’s that not a tech for a pull up on the rim?
There were players underneath. Stupid rule anyway.
You still can’t do a pullup
Seems like they’ve stopped calling this…
They call it every blue moon
Shit game so far
Good lord are they off. It’s 6 games in 9 nights and then a two day break. Gotta get their legs.
Carelessness…
Oof. 5 pint swing in Okoro missing the bunny.
Dunk that Okoro
Garland with a team worst -13
I’m tempted to make a comment on TT’s near miss on that dunk, but I won’t.
He made it :)
Went and walked the dogs and didn’t like what I came back to.
So you let the dogs out?
Hopefully
I hate the Rockets!
Rockets yolo from deep…
I know it’s a lazy Saturday for me and maybe the Cavs, but we should really win this game.
Vibes off from the tip.
SAM!!!
Cavs may have gotten away with one there
Need to play better against the 3
G Unit
Niang with the off balance three. I don’t know how his shots go down but they do.
Merrill was fouled on that 3.
Flop
When you drive into traffic…
Oof, 5AM here. I happen to get up & check the world and there’s a Cavs game on! Any TT sightings?
Absolutely, looking mean and hopefully clean!
Juiced up and ready to go… er…
Thank you Jeff Brooks.
Garland driving into nowhere 🤦♂️
Lol. Dillon Brooks.
Darius is infuriating sometimes…
Caris wide open in the corner.
Jalen Green is jawing.
Foul disparity is glaring…
Nota lot of spacing with Killmonger and Damian on the floor.
Damian…
LeVert nice move.
In honor of Bw…’s comment about TT’s resemblance to Michael B. Jordan, I’m gonna call him Killmonger for the rest of the game.
Lol
The Rockets getting away with a ton of fouls.
My wife from the kitchen hearing the commentators “Jeff Green’s still in the league?!”
See?! 😂
Death, taxes and TT O-boards…
Bring the juice TT
Wait… TT and Damian?
Damian has been playing pretty well for us. First time seeing them out together tho, that I can recall
Why not?
Just weird is all…
Van Fleet with the grift!
Flop FVV
Okoro reminds me so much of Bodi from The Wire.
Lol. Tristan always reminded me of Michael B. Jordan since he was drafted.
Oh yeah. They look a ton alike.
Where’s Wallace String??!!
Gorgeous…
G-WAGON!
Man… Jeff Green STILL playing…
Lol. We could still use him!
But we got the smart Morris twin! 😜
👎
Hope the Sonics are back in Seattle by the time he is ready to retire.
All the makings of a trap game so far.
Need to pound the paint on these puny Rockets…
Anyone know what is ailing Wade?
He had a baby
But just said he’s got some knee soreness on the broadcast…
Heard that too!
According to Cleveland.com…
Dean Wade, who was away from the team for personal reasons, was back with the Cavs on Friday during their practice at Rice University. Donovan Mitchell, who also returned to the court in Wednesday’s win over the New Orleans Pelicans, congratulated Wade on his Instagram live feed after practice Friday for becoming a father.
Also, Apparently his knee was sore this morning – which is why he’s not available today .
