Live Thread: Magic @ Cavs
2024-11-01Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome the Orlando Magic to the banks of Cuyahoga River for a massive early season Eastern Conference clash. The Cavs sit atop the East, and are clearly vying for a top two seed should everything continue according to plan. The Magic’s bid for a top three seed took a devastating blow as Paolo Banchero will be out for awhile due to injury. The Cavs will have to adjust their game plan and mindset in order to come out victorious tonight. A game that was easy to get up for becomes a trap game, and the game plan should revolve around how to limit Franz Wagner.
The Magic are an excellent rebounding team and will test a bottom 10 rebounding team in the Cavs. The Magic defense is also top five so the Cavs’ offense will certainly be tested against Orlando’s strength, length, and athleticism. Luckily, the Cavs are also bringing a top five defense against a mediocre Orlando offense made even weaker with Banchero’s absence. Hopefully the Cavs can take care of business since this is also a front end of a home-road back to back with the Milwaukee Bucks looming in 24 hours.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live nationally on ESPN’s Friday night NBA Showcase, Go Cavs!
Ic3!!!
God this team is gas
IC3???
Credit to the Magic for fighting hard. This grabby grabby style is so hard for us to get loose on but we’re learning.
Mobley taking Isaac 1:1 is really impressive.
Maybe start strong and get guys some rest?
I have been a bit cranky because I wanted us to boat race them so we could rest guys for tomorrow. And it has been even since the 1st quarter.
Nice work there without DG and Don
LOVE THOSE LATE QTR SURGES/ RUNS 👍🏀
Barage of 3s from us around a niceobely move in the paint. Back up 19.
Cavs are holding serve pretty well.
Sam! We needed that.
4 on DG. Suggs is killing us. Bully ball.
C’mon Cavs, match their physicality!
They are. It’s a grind fest.
Down to 12.
Magic are out scrapping us. Stick a fork in that ball, lads.
Got damn the cabs make you pay. That garland three was a tim misney moment.
Wow. Patient offense gets dean 3 freebies
4 on Mitchell. This could get interesting real fast.
Garland getting back in transition defensively to stop
the Magic break
Orlando trying to grind. Give em credit.
We aren’t playing that well, IMHO. Or else forgot to play in the 2nd half.
A lot of sloppy O and quick shots. I mean, the bigs doing dribble handoffs to the guards 25 feet from the hoop does open up the paint, but JA needs more than 2 shots a half.
Nice play by DG on D. A lot of sloppy O lately.
Garland great play on d
Our bigs need to stop putting the ball on the floor. Mobes has 4 turnovers doing it.
Cavs pounce on every mistake.
What a pass spida!
Wow. Love the hard foul on Suggs from garland.
TOO EASY
I CAN SEE EMONI FLOURISHING IN THIS OFFENSE
“ GEM “ JEROME MAKES OUR BENCH SO MUCH STRONGER/ DEEPER 👍
RIGHT MR STEAL —- IMPRESSIVE REBOUNDING—- GREAT TO SEE !!!
I can’t decide whether the Cavs are this good or the Magic are this bad.
Wish Banchero was out there. But then again, it’s nice to see this team never “playing down” to any opponent – so far, six games – regardless of their record or if they’re shorthand. Same effort and focus.
they’re missing WCJ Goga too, whcih would make a difference for them in this game.
Winning the rebound battle 27-15???
Thanks Ty for giving us the spark we needed.
That was one of the meanest Cavalanches ever.
DG great bounce back after being bothered by Suggs. Mobley nasty.
Mitchell gonna be real fresh for tomorrow lol.
Cavs so deep at the guard now.
Hell yes! What run!
I AGREE GO CAVS
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO DOMINATION
TWO WAY TY!!!!!!! WHAT A STEAL!
just need to maintain 15 point lead into half, should grind this thing out.
Gorgeous Georgeius
WTF defense was that? Okoro?
Suggs trying to keep orlando in it
Suggs is your classic fake tough guy.
Lol. Wife called him skugs.
Suggs such a weiner.
Gorgeous move, SM
Orlando getting worked
FLEX ON EM SPIDA
CAVS PUTTING ON A CLINIC—— IMPRESSIVE—-FUN TO WATCH 👍
WOW that was such an insanely good pass i think it caught Caris by surprise cuz he wasn’t ready to shoot.
SIXTH MAN OF THE YEAR CARIS LEVERT
Caris just sizzling. Orlando completely subdued
Wow, Levert bricks a 3, but next time with the ball, gets himself space and “zero” hesitation to launch – and swish – another.
mental toughness>>>>>>>>
LCC!
Beautiful cut,Caris
LOL Gorgeous Georges with the slow walk
Our old friend , Mo
James Dean Wade.
Caris cookin time.
Good TO there. Lets move the ball some. Maybe get JA involved?
Spida and Mobely show + 2 DG TOs.
Lot of 1 v 1, however.
They’re winning the matchups. Make Orlando adjust.
The Mitch and Mobley show
MITCHELL 60 BURGER???????
CAVS SMELL BLOOD LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO
