Live Thread: Cavs @ Magic
2025-02-25Good evening CtB!
The Cavs are in the national spotlight yet again as they take on Eastern Conference rival Orlando Magic in primetime at Disneyworld. For the Cavs, they’re looking to continue to build their better rebounding habits, which just won them the game against the 2nd best rebounding team in the NBA against the Memphis Grizzlies. They’re facing yet again another physical, long, athletic team that is a superior rebounding team to the good guys. Can the Cavs rise to yet another challenge? Stay tuned…
Tip off is scheduled for 7:30PM Eastern time and will broadcasted live nationally on TNT, Go Cavs!
So I take it last year, while his ankle healed, Ty Jerome worked on his threes.
Said he used the summer to ramp up to NBA shape
JAVONTE TIME
HUSH SCOTCH 2
Even fully healthy, Orlando is so offensively challenged it’s wild. Do they make a healthy offer to Ty Jerome this off season? Do they have room to?
nope they’re capped out, and they’re not fully healthy Suggs and Wagner are both out and obviously a lot more important to their team even though Paolo and Franz get all the shine.
James Dean!
Mobley got off to a good start. But Strus, Hunter, & Jerome are carrying us tonight. Spida picking his spots.
JAVONTE TIME 👍
Cigar lineup: CPJ, Green, Tyson, Tomlin, TT.
Sam I am!
Okoro with a hesi Trey! Look out.
The Cavs instant attack makes them so difficult. The ragged early season possessions where they were learning to play with pace were so worth it.
Strus is money tonight
I have just loved watching Allen and Mobley alter Wagner’s shot this game.
Should be a take foul
Great, just great.
Ice Trey
ha-ha!
Max so good.
Mitchell filthy euro.
Ice ice baby!
I’m here for Strus starting until further notice. He’s such a glue guy.
The shot is streaky. And he tends to take a lot of leaning/moving threes. Those are tough shots.
Still, up to 36.6% from deep before tonight. 5/7.
Banchero and Wagner just going iso
Strus!!!
I guess it’s not Suyash Mehta tonight officiating. My mistake.
Mitchell missed some shots but I didn’t see anything egregiously bad. Hunter has been a boon and that three gave Cleveland a bit of momentum.
no it’s fine, and DG’s out he needs to chuck especially if Mobley’s not gonna step up and take some shots.
6 different players took at least 5 shots, most egalitarian offense i ever seen lol
Oh for sure
YOURE PLAYING 4 ON 5 THEYRE PLAYING ZONE AND NOT GUARDING OKORO GET IT THRU YOUR HEAD
Good half. Magic made a run but not that significant.
YOU CANNOT FUCKING PLAY OKORO WITHOUT STRUS AND MERRILL KENNY!! GET IT THRU YOUR STUBBORN ASS HEAD!!!!!!!!!
Thought the lob was there for Mobley.
Dumb, Mitch.
Mitchell deflating the offense, holding on to it too much
STOP WHINING START PLAYING SOME DEFENSE
Jaylen Suggs needs a new barber.
Great out of time out play
Good time out!
Agreed. Don’t let them get any momentum.
Gotta love the Cavs having two Tony Bennett coached guys.
Ty Jerome “shoelaces” representing!
I am worried about being able to keep Jerome.
But enjoying it right now!
Ty fighter
Jerome canning 3s and staring down the Magic bench 😂
Merrill minutes need to diminish
Sam missed Mobes for an easy dunk
That was a bad challenge.
I thought it was a charge. So did SVG.
Suyash Mehta will not be questioned. I knew they were never winning that when they challenged.
Great start. Watching Mobley/Jerome/Strus units obliterate people is fun. Tonight add Merrill + Hunter/Wade.
NO MERCY , RUTHLESS BEATDOWN UNTIL THE 4TH
Makeup call
Cavs aren’t gonna win this. Can’t win a makeup call when there’s even a shred of doubt.
Ball don’t lie.
Bitaze made Evan mad blocking his shot. You don’t want to do that.
Well,they came to play tonight.
Can’t tell me that wasn’t a pass by Jerome.
Mobley’s a beast.
Merrill on both ends doing the little things that lead to wins.
Mobl3y
HUNTER “ HUNTING “ THE 3 🏀
Ty with instant offense
For those few people that didn’t like hunter trade. Your not very smart
Hunter >>>> Niang
Night of the Hunter
Hunter cans 3 treys! LETS GO!!!
Hunter such a luxury
DEANDRE HUNTER IS SPECIAL
That Okoro block was great. Cavs bigs gotta slow down a bit. They’re letting the Magic speed them up.
DH3!!!
Thought Allen should’ve kicked to the corner with two guys on him at the rim.
Points hard to come by.
Feels like a playoff game
yup, this game is all about who rebounds best… possession game.
YOU CANNOT BLOW A 5 ON 4 IN THE NBA
Mitch w a couple TOs
What a shot Strus.
Strus is Loose!
Let’s go Cavs! This team is helping me keep my sanity with what’s happening in the world these days
DG is OUT.
