Live Thread: Cavs vs Hornets
2024-11-17Sunday Sunday Sunday! The hornets are in town and the Cavs are giving Donovan Mitchell a much needed break. He joins Sam Merrill, Max Strus, Emoni Bates as out for this game.
I’ve heard DaQuan Jeffries, Nick Richards, and Mark Willians are out for Charlotte. Supposedly LaMelo Ball, Miles Bridge, and Terrance Mann are questionable, but in this media hellscape, who knows. On the line? More history as the Cavs attempt to become just the fourth team to start 14-0.
It’s been a special run, and the Tuesday cup game in Boston has to loom large. Let’s hope the Cavs play the team in front of of them. But I got to think that there’s a desire to win this one and put a real Buzz around TNT’s Tuesday showcase with the Cavs. Go Cleveland!
ACTUALLY THINK “ GEM “ IS A MORE CONSISTENT SCORER / SHOOTER THAN RUBIO ———NOT “ DISSING “ RICKY / WHEN HE WAS HERE IT WAS SPECIAL—- GREAT MEMORIES/ HE IS A HOF PLAYER / PERSON——— JUST MY OBSERVATION OF “ GEM “ s OFFENSIVE SKILLS 👍🏀/ SHOOTER
absolutely. can’t really compare them, Ricky was a lot older when he was on the Cavs.
15–0 ………” MORE BEER 🍺 PLEASE FOR MY CTB BROS “
NATE I AM NOT THE 1 THAT SAID ANYTHING ABOUT TRADING “ GEM “ —— SOMEONE ELSE POSTED THAT——— I AM THE ONE ——- NOT TO “ BRAG @ —- IN PRESEASON THAT PREDICTED THIS FROM JEROME—— HENCE THE NICKNAME “ GEM “ 👍🏀💪
I know. They’re just stupid.
JUST MAKE HIM A BENCH COACH——- UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM—-DONT MESS WITH THIS CHEMISTRY—— BUT YOU DO HAVE TO AGREE WITH ME – AS A PLAYER TT BRINGS NOTHING TO THE FLOOR/ THIS TEAM
No. I don’t. He brings toughness, professionalism. He and Georges keep the team light. Don’t overthink this, Nomad.
Hope Ice can go vs Boston.
“ GEM “ JEROME—— SIGN HIM TO AN EXTENSION NOW !!!!! ——- AND THERE WERE POSTS THAT SAID TRADE HIM WHY HE HAS VALUE———2 WORDS——- HELL NO !!!!!!!!
Stop. What the hell are people doing? You don’t do anything to mess with a streak like this.
Is he the second coming of Ricky Rubio? What a boost he provides…playing his way into crunchtime minutes!
Also Nomad. I gotta disagree with you about TT. Don’t you change a freaking thing about the makeup of this team right now.
Hell yeah.
WHAT TIME IS IT ——-“ MORE THOR TIME “ 👍👍
16-0.
15? (So far)
I think Nate is assuming we beat Boston, which I love 😂
Garland must have gotten a bad charlie horse or something. He looked cooked.
What a sequence, block by Evan and then the Darius Dagger 3.
Man I hope we have at least one of Ice/Wade for Boston game.
Goodnight, Carolina!
Camera man got Mitchell with the bye bye wave lol.
Closing Tyme
Ty Jerome unreal.
Big shot !!! We needed that for breathing room.
Can you imagine being a Hornets fan? So glad we don’t have to cheer for any guys like Bridges and Williams. LaMelo seems like apower tool too
Wtf Allen
Great d garland.
Jerome shouldn’t have gone up with that 1 vs 2 fast break.. wasted good play.
🤨 really?
Go up stronger atleast to either finish or draw a foul. No one also came down to possibly get a O board if he missed.
Yeah. Dude has the right to take that shot given the night he’s having. He just missed. Almost went in.
JFC Williams just gooning every play.
Jfc. Caris crashing back to earth.
Grant Williams is a freaking goon.
Garland can’t guard memo. What are we doing?
Williams trying to throw his weight around.
He is going full Draymond right now. DG clearly hurt. He won’t be closing this one we just needed Jerome to rest
Charlotte has honestly been really good
Ty Jerome (via Cavs Notes)
so far tonight:
21 PTS (season high)
8 AST (ties career high)
Why DG sitting so long?
It looked like he headed to the locker room to me at one point in the third. But didn’t have sound on
God this team is good.
Needed that. Attaway Georges
Hornets have 42 3PA (made 20 at 47%), out of their 82FGA (shooting 16/40 from 2) for 43.9% overall.
DG gonna have to be clutch again. And keep going inside.
Is DG even returning?
Can’t stop 3 pointers because the on ball defense sucks. Okoro being out really hurts cause our guards do not stay in front of man
Darius had a long sit.
Gonna be a fascinating quarter.
Why are we doubling ball and giving up wide open 3’s and that’s basically almost all that they are shooting.. now they are up to 20 made 3’s while we only made 10.
Shit 3rd.
Another bad 3rd quarter.
Hornets getting better every quarter.
Just caught up. The Cleveland Tarheels are in a tight one with Charlotte here.
Mobley more effective at disrupting the Cavs offense than Charlotte.
Caris having a rough one.
Hope Dean’s ok
Dang.
Ankle sprain and out for the game.
Would love a full squad for Boston…
Was hopeful for a second when he was sitting over on the bench
Cavs 3P defense has been trash these past two games.
Friday: 20 (we made 21)
Tonight: 18 by Hornets (we’ved made only 9)
Sideline saves us.
I really don’t understand how continuation is called anymore.
On the gather (drive) or upward motion (jump shot).
Understand how’s it supposed to be called but it always seems highly questionable to me. Might just be homer googles.
DG has 11 pts and 9 assists in the 1st half already.. amazing !!
NEED TO COME OUT STRONG 3rd QTR —- DONT ALLOW HORNETS ANY HOPE ——- “ STEP ON THE HEAD “ 👍🏀💪
GO CAVS 👍🏀💪 👍🏀💪——WOULD LIKE TO SEE “ MORE THOR PLEASE “
Mobley with a rough close.Loses the handle and forgets to dunk.Could’ve padded the lead.
Good stat line but I thought he looked pretty shaky. Derailed a few offensive possessions with bad decisions or poor execution.
WE ARE NEVER LOSING AGAIN
What a pass by DG.
Problems today:
– giving up O boards
– Hornets has 9 3PM already
– have 18 more FGA
– Cavs with 8 TO (hornets have 13 points off)
Yep. But 72 points on 66.7/47.1/100 is making up for it.
If we cool off at all, this is a ballgame.
For sure… once we clean up the above we can extend the lead a bit more… 13 isn’t a safe lead.
Good TO.
Still need to clean up the defensive glass (10-1 Charlotte o-glass) & TOs (Cavs 8-3). That’s 14 extra possessions for the Bugs.
Up 15. A good stretch to close the quarter would be fantastic.
Hornets missing many bunnies so far.
We are making 2/3rds of our FGs. Incredible.
Yikes, 3 straight TOs. Get a shot up, guys.
9 on rotation… so far.
CPJ looks like #10.
He’s #9
Giving up too many offensive rebounds.. Hornets already has 6 while we have none.
8-1 atm, but they have failed to cash in a bunch of them.
A real weakness for us.
5-0 Hornets on the offensive glass.
Yes, noticed that….
3van!!!
Go Cavs!!!
Hornets are one of the worst at defending the rim. Keep attacking.
TYSON HAS BEEN DOWN TO GLEAGUE RECENTLY??
Seems like he, Travers, & Thor made the bench.
MY BAD JUST SAW YOU HAD CPJ 🤪
Another great start. Slowing down a bit now that Ty has sat down. Hornets hitting the o-glass, DG misses.
CPJ POSSIBLY 10th MAN
A lot more fun than last season when the Cavs would consistently get down double digits out the gate to weaker teams like this.
Nice baseline drive Ice
I do mot see Mobely on the injury report. That will help if he can go.
DG, LeVert/Ty, Okoro, Mobely, JA
Bench: Ty/LeVert, Niang, Wade.
Edge of rotation: CPJ
I wonder who the 10th man is? Travers? Tyson?
