Live Thread: Cavs @ Jazz
2024-04-02Howdy, Cavs fans. The Cavs are out west on their last road trip of the season, parking the stagecoach in Salt Lake City tonight. The injury picture is grim. Donovan Mitchell is out for load management with a back-to-back tomorrow. Okoro, Porter Junior, and Ty Jerome are also out. Dean Wade may be out for the season if he doesn’t respond to treatment.
The Jazz are similarly similarly depleted, with Jordan Clarkson, John Collins, and Lauri Markennan riding the pine. Collin Sexton gets a chance to show the Cavs kept the wrong point guard, so expect Youngbull to be hyped. With the absence of Okoro and Wade, the Cavs have had a hard time stopping g guard penetration, so Collin may feast.
We’ll see what the night has in store. Go Cavs.
OK good. They got Caris on the bench.
No CPJ is rough. Would like to see some Sharife Cooper gleague call up minutes.
He’s in China man
No shit?
Go flying leopards I guess
I forgot they had Pete instead.
Saving Cavs weapons for tomorrow lol
Can we see consecutive wins on this trip?
Lmaoooo Vert whipping Sextons floor slapping cornball ass
Another Strus assist to Merril. Merril 6-10 on 3’s,
That Strus Merrill two man should be a staple of the bench o
That with Strus chemistry with EM and JA should lead to a ton of rim runs
Sam Merrill with his sixth three. Can I go to bed now?
This is exactly the Collin Sexton I remember.
Empty calories.
When Caris LeVert is notably more efficient and effective than you are…wow
I had forgotten Sexton’s propensity for getting blocked.
perfect nick name for CS!
Strus talks a. Lor
I like this samanac kid.
He’s had a nice shift
STFU Brad game not over yet
Way to withstand the run. Jump on them to start the 4Q and then on to PHX with a 1.5 game cushion
Not a great quarter defensively but still up 16.
They are outshooting us from 3 by a decent margin!
Lol. Remember when THT was untouchable on the Lakers? He looks 40 now.
Garland flying around
More like Talen Horton Smucker.
And just like that we are almost back to 20 point lead
Great effort and hustle. Nice run.
Niang slams THT
Sam usually plays really good fundamental d.
Max looking so much healthier.
Sam Merrill has brought them energy tonight.
Lol Allen celebrating the 3 second foul. Jazz commentators nonplussed.
lol was just going say this… they were so confused.
It’s been a while since I heard this. Low key this has been an amazing JA game. Playing board games with the Utah mascot, the three second yell back, putting 20/10 on Kessler in a half…
Sam Merrill w 4 3s
The Strus Merrill two man game again.
Oh bitch
Some of the laziest ball I’ve seen this year.
Gah. Cavs with crappy energy out of the locker room. Garland really asleep on that Sexton kickout.
Jazz are 5-7 from 3 to start… cant have that happen.
Starting the quarter slow again.
Throw that hammer down Mobley!
What a nasty dunk by Mobley.
Good solid game so far. Cavs taking it to them in the paint as they should.
Peak Caris, Allen, and Mobley is always nice.
The big boys came to dominate and Caris came to play.
JA: 19 pts,10 rbs, 3 asts ;+28
Mobley: 15 pts, 5 rbs, 4 asts, 2 stls and 2 blks ; +14
Levert: 16 pts, 3 rbs, 4 asts ; +18
17-2 run in the last 5 min, per the Jazz announcers.
Good close to quarter.
Sam I am!
Caris Cooking is a welcome site.
Classic Sexton move.
Lol.

Looks like the Bucks lost to the Wiz
Both JA and Mobes should be feasting. No excuses.
Lol. Cavs didn’t get a shot out of a four on two.
Seemed to stabilise once we got Garland off the floor
Lull there but success returning.
Huh?
Jazz got the energy now.
Lots of Werthian midrange slop so far. At least they are going in so far.
Caris with an absolute bailout.
A great first quarter followed up by a stinker of a 2nd quarter.
Jazz to single digits after they stop turning it over.
Just a bit off.
Good clock awareness Garland.
Like the atrus/Merrill two man.
Maybe the message finally got through about not playing down to teams.
The Jazz are already on summer break.
So far playing like a 3 seed vs a lottery team sitting its best 2 players. Keep it up for 3 more quarters!
Oof the Jazz stink!
The Jazz are ROUGH
You down with LCC?
Damn. Sweet move samanac.
Merrill given em some juice.
Great start….hope this continues, the Jazz look like ass.
Using sam as a decoy.
So it looks like LeVert is backup PG tonight.
Woof. Not a lot of focus from either team.
We look pretty solid when we shoot 100 percent against a lottery team!
Could use a Caris cooks game.
3van!
George looks to be in the 4th grade
Caris hitting g a fade away early feels like a good sign.
Hope we can find a way here, this would be a demoralizing loss for sure
