Live Thread: Celtics @ Cavs
2024-12-01Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome the Boston Celtics to the frigid banks of the Cuyahoga River for what can be considered the first real battle for the top seed in the Eastern Conference as we stand at the quarter pole of the regular season. The Cavs have firmly established themselves as one of the top four teams in the East along with the Celtics, Orlando Magic, and by point-differential New York Knicks. The next iteration of the Cavs is actually being competitive against the real contenders. The Cavs need to show they learned something, and punch back.
As for injuries, both teams will be without keys players including Jaylen Brown and Derrick White for Boston, Max Strus and Dean Wade for the good guys. Tip off is scheduled for 6:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live nationally on NBATV and locally on Fanduel Sports Network. Go Cavs!
if we’re gonna let Niang do all this dumb shit on the floor JUST PUT IN THE FUCKING ROOKIE!!!@!!
Tatum just abusing the Cavs smaller guards.
DG -16 even though he’s having a good offensive game… not scoring or creating nearly enough to justify getting abused defensively
We suck!
Get Niiang off the floor.
What happened to our motion offense? We look flat lately.
they gameplanned against us… crossing matching on okoro, attacking DG and Niang without mercy.
MERRILL CLAMPS
WHAT A FINISH CARIS
Pritchard is a whiny b!
That’s a terrible fucking call. I don’t even hate the overturn, but it should be for the hand under the arm, not that bullshit leg stuff.
I thought it was side out?
Investigate the refs!
Bullshit!
I think they’re gonna overturn this.
Pritchard is whiny even by C’s standards. Throws Okoro down with his off arm and then wants a coach’s challenge on the call.
Wow, won the challenge!
Clearly looks like Pritchard pushed off on Okoro
Niang just shoot the three
Niang and garland aren’t working
correct, 122 defensive rating with those two on the court LMFAOOO
in 149 minutes this season
WTF WAS THAT SHOT NIANG????
Wanna see some Thor tonight. Need to get some energy.
Celtics just abusing garland on the matchup hunting.
You’d think it was the 3rd quarter or something…
Looking like dogshit!
Good Lord that’s a terrible call
Don’t breath on the Zinger
14 minutes, -11 plus/minus one fucking rebound from Okoro SIT HIS ASS DOWN KA
Cavs fall asleep on the inbound again.
Mobley gotta be better. Too many stupid passes.
Spida. Big shot.
Okoro gotta take a foul on the floor when he’s beat that bad and save the free throws.
MOBES — SPIDA 3/16 COMBINED SHOOTING—- OUCH—— HOPE THEY HEAT IT UP THE 2nd HALF 👍🏀
Donovan lost his shot lately. Caris showed up. Allen and Mobley too soft inside.They both need to get physical for us to go anywhere. DG is balling and Ice needs to fire up threes until he misses one.
if Mitchell is bad we are probably cooked unless we get another bench guy or two to pick it up. Sam invisible, Tyson not good
(Tyson’s not bad he’s just not really adding anything or making plays. neither is sam)
Donovan’s shooting the last few games no está bueno.
Did Mitchell miss both those?
Mitchell’s struggling lately
Holiday with a rare mistake picking up a foul with .3 seconds in the half
Smart, Mitchell. Solid close.
Chin the ball, guys.
Gotta take care of the ball.
Garland is looking like the Cavs’ best defender on Tatum in these first two matchups, at least with Dean out
How the hell did holiday get that shot off.
Garland locking up Tatum and draining threes
Turnovers and loose balls
LET CARIS COOK!
Mobley gotta punish the smaller guy
Continuing to miss a lot of bunnies
Garland finally gets a call.
Omg. Horford was way over the three point line. They should’ve subtracted a point by now.
welp, looks like Ty’s finally coming back down to earth, plus side Mobley and Mitchell haven’t done shit on offense only down 1.
Garland got absolutely hammered no call. Jerome is taking heat check threes when he’s barely lukewarm.
Oof. Cavs not getting loose balls leading to open scramble threes.
Ok. Getting sloppy.
Mobley still drifting too much on D.
Gorgeous Georges gorges.
WE GOT THE JUICE FROM THE BENCH AGAIN!!!! RAGE TIMEOUT CATHOLIC JOE!!!
Minivan with another 3!
Jerome much better defensive footwork tonight.
BOS not getting the shots they want. Good signs.
Let Caris cook!
Let Caris Cook!
WHY ARE WE LEAVING KP WIDE OPEN FOR THREE MULTIPLE TIMES?????
FINALLY THANK YOU MOBLEY CLOSE HIS ASS OUT
Niang hitting open threes is key to surviving the Niang minutes
Georges found his shot. Merrill is next.
Bright side is defense looks back
Go Cavs!
I agree go Cavs
Go Cavs!
I agree go Cavs
Finally Niang hits one
Does DG have the best 3 pt percentage on the team?
Cavs playing offense 4 on 5 with Celtic cross matching Horford and KP on Okoro.
Nice two man with a Mobley thumper for two
