NBA Cup Group Play Live Thread: Cavs @ Hawks
2024-11-29Good afternoon CtB!
The Cavs have traversed down to the Georgia Piedmont to take on the Atlanta Hawks hopefully to deliver a Black Friday victory for the good guys. The Cavs just lost to the Hawks last game 135-124, a game that sorely missed it’s top three wings in Caris LeVert, Max Strus, and Dean Wade. The Hawks were able to beat the Cavs at their own game, moving the ball with 39 assists and outrebounding the Cavs 51-44. Can the Cavs re-establish their leaky defense? Stay tuned…
Tip off is scheduled for 2:30PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted nationally on NBATV, Go Cavs!
We’re on the verge of 3 straight loses.
sez who?
all the breaks going ATL’s way, Cavs will need to dig deep for this one.
DG lazy defense, terrible
well at least they’re letting Merrill try and find his shot
my god Mobley never stays down anymore on the pump fakes… literally only did it his rookie year.
they need to launch 3s or they’re never coming back in this game.
Sam gets the Dean Wade treatment (called for phantom fouls cuz no one expects them to be good defenders)
I like this group on the floor, Tyson, no Okoro
I SMELL SOMETHING COOKING WITH SPIDA
POSTED EARLIER—— SCOUTING REPORT OUT—— TiME TO ADJUST—— ALSO GET HEALTHY—- -STILL WAITING TO SEE STRUS IN THIS OFFENSE —- ALSO SHOWS HOW MUCH WE MISS WADE s “ D”
No doubt
The Cavs should shop Wade. Dudes never healthy.
yup, Cam Johnson and DFS phone it in Korby
100 percent agree.
Outhustled outmuscled outshot ,,,,,,every aspect
Ass whopping.
Not a good quarter
This is getting ugly.
Man the officiating is uneven.
Caris cookin
Adversity has struck this team. Maybe that’s a good thing
Ugh I hate the Hawks! They seem to have our number.
I’d like to see us regroup and try to make this a game.
Capela killen em.
Obvious foul on Mitchell . No call. Obvious foul on Mobley. No call.
Slicing Cavs defense up
Team needs a legit small forward that can play defense and offense
Don cold
SAM HAS TO BE MORE THAN A20% 3 PT SHOOTER
Is that Carlos Boozer in the NBAtv halftime crew?
DAMN DIDNT KNOW CAVS WERE PLAYING—— “ GEM’s “ MINUTES LOW ?? ——- HAWK s FOR SOME REASON ALWAYS PLAY US TOUGH—— 20 GAMES INTO THE SEASON—— SCOUTING REPORTS ARE OUT—— TEAMS/ COACHES/ PLAYERS HAVE TO ADJUST——GO CAVS
There didn’t seem to be much flow to our offense. That barrage bailed us out (I’ll take it.)
Donovan finally swapping a catch-and-shoot 3 for all the high-degree-of-difficulty shots he’s missing, and Darius with a couple of 26 footers to salvage the quarter
SAVE US DARIUS!!!!
This is a repeat of Wednesday.
Worse
Cavs giving the Hawks easy buckets.
Geez I know Levert likes to double clutch, but is it really necessary on a point blank dunk off of two feet? 🤦🏽♂️
What the hell? Can’t make a freakin layup. Does someone want to guard Hunter?
When did Bunter become a dominant 3 point shooter?
I think he’s always been solid. This is unusual.
Cavs finally reached the point of the season that has adversity, they’re lucky to be only down single digits right now, let’s see if they take advantage of that.
I don’t know why Ty wanted a review there. That looked like a charge to me.
Okoro can’t make a layup
he should be benched for that last shot attempt.
If it wasn’t for mobly we are down 20
Are you an announcer for the Hawks?
Announcer said almost the same thing about ten seconds after your post.
No I’m just watching the game on tv.
Honestly, the Hawks look pretty good. They’re long, can make threes, and they play defense. Let’s beat these guys.
yeah, David Griffin bailed them out gifting them Dyson Daniels.
This happened in the other game – we challenged but lost the challenge because there was minimal contact. It should go the same here for the opposing team.
if I were a Hawks fan, I wouldn’t be happy about that call.
Trae touched him.
Can’t make layups
That last bucket by hawks was disturbing.
Mitchell is 0-10
Tyson and Okoro at the same time leads to disgusting offense, wyd KA/????
Niang is completely worthless. Play the rookie
I don’t like the way this game is going
Mitchell struggling again today
Bench Niang. He’s worthless today.
Not thrilled with the Cavs shot selection.
Niang once again can’t find a way to score from anywhere on the floor.
Get Niang out of there
Getting killed with niang
Would like to see more of the rookie in this second unit.
Trae flop.
MERRILL BAIL OUT 3!
Cavs bench struggles against Atlanta’s athleticism.
Need to have a shorter leash on Merrill and Niang if they’re not producing.
Resigned to the fact when niang comes in your going to lose ground
Ugh Niang 🤦♂️
Good on this much Okoro, Dean Wade needs to start doing PEDs
2 turnovers in 6 minutes and can’t do shit on offense against Trae Young
He is just not reliable because of the injuries
yup, damn shame.
Series of bad decisions from Donovan. Needs to focus.
Yeah after his first iso didn’t work but he got the o board and reset, iso-ing again wasn’t great.
Should have been an and-1
RAGE TIMEOUT SALLY JESSIE RAPHAEL!!!
Ice needs to dunk that
Nice start for DG
Risacher is a nice player
he’s definitely got tools and skills
Will Trae Young record a triple double with flops?
