Live Thread: Cavs vs Bulls
2024-11-15Welcome to Friday and the NBA cup, Cavs fans. Tough news coming into this one: the rumor is Mobley (flu) and Allen (lower leg) are out, joining Sam Merrill and Max Strus on the injury list. Meanwhile the Bulls are only missing Lonzo Ball. I hope they start Wade, Caris, and Okoro. Thor and Jaylen Tyson can come off the bench. Tough start to NBA cup play for the Cavs. Let’s hope the Cleveland crowd carries them through.
AGREE IN JB —- WE STILL NEEDED A NEW VOICE————- HOSTING A 14 TEAM SCRIMMAGE THIS MORNING——- SO FAR 3–0 —- HAVE OUT SCORED OPPONENTS 35—- 9 —— FULL COURT PRESS IS IMPRESSIVE/INTIMIDATING 👍🏀💪
Next up: Charlotte.
The Bugs, much like Atlanta, Detroit, Brooklyn, and Chicago, have been playing competent, scarppy ball despite being under .500. Ball is averaging over 30 ppg. Not a gimmee (that’s Washington & Toronto).
We will have a rest advatage. Charlotte plays tonight, hosting the Bucks.
Evan and Allen v Grant Williams and Taj Gibson is scary hours
JUST WATCHED REPLAY—— JB WHO—— SO FUN TO WATCH—— WADE s 2 DEFENSIVE PLAYS IN THE 4th HELPED TURN THE GAME—- GO CAVS —- DONT WANT TO JINX—- BUT CAN YOU SAY 15 !!!!
Pistons are 6-8. Much improved.
Cavalanche hits the four letter.

Franchise record for consecutive wins. Love it.
Darius Garland & Donovan Mitchell are the first backcourt in NBA history to each average 20 PPG in a 14-0 start to a season.

That’s the most niche stat I’ve ever heard.
And I LOVE it! More plz!
My streamed stuck on 119-125 at 2:40 and when it came back on we were up 133-121..I was like huh.. what the hell just happened ?..
Just checking – everyone OK w the coach that was hired?
He is ok. Wish we had won more of our games so far but I am probably nitpicking.
Woot!!! This team is insane
The west has 10 .500 or better teams. The east has 3. Wtf is going on?
Just looked at the standings and saw that too.. The West will be a dogfight.
Cup play for the run it up win
It’s the Daytona 500 of the NBA! You go all out to win the cup!
FOURTEEN!!!
LeVert!
Spida wants to stay in cause of the points standings
Gotta keep pouring it on for the point standings. Great fourth quarter
Going fulll gas!!!
Spidaman is having you for dinner tonight!
Dean Wade, what hustle!
Think that’s the backbreaker…
Fantastic follow dosummu
I don’t know why Niang is in with a lead
pretty sure EM is not playing
Bit of lead extension w DM on bench
Just can’t get those back breakers to fall.
Hell of a block from the fro
Dodging bullets, luck rolling Cavs way.
May thy knife chip and shatter, Josh
If its a close loss, explanation is way too much Tristan
He had an and-1 when he was in though.
The sun even shines on a dog’s ass
Cavs finally stop over helping.
perimeter defense has been shit.. too many open 3’s even after they have shown they are making them tonight.
If this bunch of punks break the streak, I’ll be furious.
Won’t get possession but like the challenge to call out the BS call.
Game getting scrappy, which I actually think is a good sign for the Cavs.
Garland has got to be bleeding to get a foul call.
Garland hustling tonight
Feel like the bulls heard the podcast last night. Coming hard after CLF’s slander
Thanks for the reminder, must listen.
Better d in the half court when Jerome came in.
This game has a weird energy.
Cavs cheating too much from the weak side
Paul returns
Garland got fouled.
Bulls with 34 and 39 points in the 1st two quarters, with 13 made 3’s and shooting 58%.
Corner. Threes killing them.
Horrible defense tonight..70 pts to the Bulls?
Of course they’ve hit half of their 3’s. They’re wide fucking open.
Smart play Wade with the Bulls in the penalty and Zach lavine with a bad closeout
Bills aren’t concerned at all. Our defense is so much worse without the best defensive player on the team. Imagine that.
Darius rights the ship.
Barf
Convinced the silhouette of chief wahoo is hidden somewhere on this floor.
Wow. Garland Fantastic possession to find Niang for three.
Allen is the best finisher in the association
Gonna be level by the half at this rate
Seriously?
Nice to see TT get some run. Run is a euphemism, obvs.
More like Tristan Chonkson
He’s well past his prime, but there’s a chance that he’ll get some woman in the arena pregnant tonight.
Lol.
OMG 😆
Ty so slick
Obviously everyone is rolling. Given his recent games, nice to see JA success on offensive end
He plays better without Mobley.
Cavs need to do better with the 3PT defense, Bulls with 7 3PM, 21 pts of other 34 points.. we would be blowing them out a bit more if it wasn’t for that.
otherwise, great quarter! Also need to stop with the TO’s.. we had 5.
87% FG, 70% 3PT, 11 Ast on 20 FG..
TristaN Thompson
Can’t leave Muad’Dib open. He’ll hit the three then stick a chrysknife in your side.
They might score 50
Good Lord.
Little lax on guarding the three. Good TO
Ice is nice!
Mitchell using cheat codes out there tonight.
SPIDA TIME RAGE TIMEOUT BILLY D
Interesting to see how Cavs operate without Mobes.
I wonder if Allen is available. I’m not seeing him listed on a couple of injury reports.
Time for the vanilla wolf to have another 20 point quarter tonight. No excuses, the NBA cup is the real prize and we all know it CLF
OUCH—— GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TO GET A “ W “ ———- ALL HANDS ON DECK
