Live Thread: Cavs @ Heat
2025-01-29The wounded Cavs make their way to South Beach tonight where their winning ways will be tested against a 23-22 Heat squad. Miami is 5-5 in their last ten but is coming off a double overtime game against Orlando Monday after a comfortable win Saturday in Brooklyn. Key to stopping Miami will be slowing down the hot-shooting Tyler Herro, who is launching almost ten triples a game and making 40% of them while averaging 24/5/6. Bam Adebayo is always a tough matchup on both ends, and Terry Rozier is a know Cavs killer.
Injuries for Cleveland include Merrill, Garland (just rest), LeVert, Wade, and Okoro whole Miami is missing Isaiah Stevens, Josh Richardson, and (comically suspended yet again) Jimmy Butler. His exile has seemed to galvanize the heat, but let’s hope the Cavs expand the rotation to counter the energy and Koby Altman sells Riles on looping him into the eventual Butler trade in order to bring KLove home. Should be a fun one. Go Cavs.
Lol spida just making Herro look silly
That was a hell of a lob finish by Mobley
Potentially 7 guys in double figures tonight. Everybody but Tristan and the rook
Cavs have shot 5 free throws. Maybe none in the second half.
TY Jerome does not care about heat culture
Dangerous lineup by KA. Impressed it’s working so far
Think he knows that he got lucky.
Jovic our MVP tonight.
Allen with a bad turnover but but nice defensive recovery
Nice answer to Miami upping the intensity
Niang is tough with this many mins tonight. Tomorrow he will be in worse shape. Hope Tyson has been stretching
Niang really helped Tyson tonight
Great move CPJ
Do not like the energy or the Niang right now
Here comes the home court foul parade.
Just terrible. Completely blow up final 2 minutes with stupid basketball
Gave them life … Better come out with a vengeance.
Oof
CPJ that was awful. Went too quick, took a bad shot, then Miami scores a three
Good God…terrible defensive quarter. 43 points? Are you joking Cavs???
Niang omg
JFC Niang is cheeks
Rozier loves playing the Cavs
Ty Jerome is a man’s man!
Tyson hasn’t shot well, but a ton of great passes, defenses,and hustle plays.
Yea. Cant shoot right now. Maybe in a few years
Heck of a response!!
Maximus Strusimus!
Don’t understand why the Cavs consistently let team shoot open 3s. Is so f..ing frustrating. Any nba team can make wide open 3s. Just don’t understand why this happens a lot
The old “I bet they miss this wide open three” isn’t a good bet Cavs…
Cavs knew what they were gonna do and didn’t execute, KA rage timeout and deservedly so
BAM IS A BUM, MOBLEY OWNS THAT FRAUD
Give CPJ the same minutes as TJ and I’d bet the results would be real close. Hate to lose one of them.
CPJ under contract for next season unless he’s cut or traded IIRC
Defense has been elite… and dominating the boards for once… so much more fun to watch a dominant defensive team i have to say hate watching a soft ass team.
Featuring CPJ for trade?
Think we will see KLove in the second.
We made a few tough shots but that rebounding and defense was all effort. Way to bring it to Miami for once!
Great. Half. Allen missed the bunny at the end. But otherwise great. Feels like Miami still gassed from the double ot. And jovic sucks.
WOW GREAT PASS TYSON JA YOU HAVE TO FINISH THAT
CPJ BIG TIME THREE
3PJ!
TYSON IS A LOCK DOWN DEFENDER ALREADY
Mr. Swaggin’ G-Wagon
JAYLEN TYSON PUSH AND DISH!!!
Oh man. Fun to see Max throw one down.
Tyson continues to be adequate on D as a rookie. Impressive.
Fun stuff watching Ty and Max play off each other.
WHAM WITH THE RIGHT HAND!
Water is raw for sure and the Cavs are abusing him, but you can definitely see the potential
TT TURNING BACK THE CLOCK TO THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION LMFAOOOOO
CPJ GREAT CUT AND FINISH RAGE TIMEOUT SPO YOUR TEAM IS ASS WITHOUT JIMMY BUCKETS

Loving the minimal Niang presence
Enjoy it while it lasts

BAD DEFENSE STAY UP ON ROZIER DAMMIT
Some nice minutes from CPJ. I was down on him earlier in the season.
