Live Thread: Cavs @ Hornets
2025-03-07The Cavs venture to the Carolina Piedmont to take on the perennially tanking Charlotte Hornets for a classic Eastern Conference trap game. This is the fourth and final matchup of the season, and the Cavs are looking to secure a season sweep. But Charlotte does like to tussle, and Miles Bridges has been playing the best ball of his career.
The real barometer of the Cavs at this point: do they bring the physicality every night? That will decide whether they’re playing with their food or taking care of business as pros. They’re dangerously flirting in the former territory rather than latter recently. Maybe KA unglues Javonte Green, Jaylon Tyson, and Craig Porter Jr. from the bench to give them some juice. Hopefully it doesn’t even come to that.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Fanduel Sports Network, Go Cavs!
TY JEROME TWO LAZY CLOSEOUTS
Another crappy quarter
MOBLEY GETTING LOCKED IN
Sweet move, aj@
Looks like he won the challenge
Lazy inbounds.
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT AMATEUR SHIT
3 MINUTES TOO LATE KA!!!!!
It’s another one of these games.
Don’t know if JA is hurt but his toughness around rim is pathetic tonight
fine on defense, but he can’t finish worth shit, bet he can’t grip the ball.
1-7 BARF
PUT TY SAM AND DEANDRE IN KA!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!
3rd quarter playing with our food.
DG may need to be more aggressive with the starters. Everyone else, save Mobes is struggling a bit shooting.
NEED TO PUT THIS GAME AWAY THIS QTR —- NO MORE EFFFING AROUND 👍🏀💪
Good to see Sam get hot.
Up 11. I will take it.
Conversely this feels like the Cavs’ death lineup
DEANDRE HUNTER BACK IN ACC COUNTRY >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
DEANDRE SAM AND JEROME PLAYING WELL
Wade hasn’t looked like himself since he came back from injury.
Yup, also he was starting not coming off the bench.
Yeah. Maybe that’s what it is, but it’s gotta be Strus.
yup… thems the breaks unfortunately for him
Max Gluess
Great feed, Strus.
Hate this line up
yup, Wade and Okoro make each other worse
Okoro looks like Toadstool from Mario.
OKORO AND WADE ARE STINKING IT UP KA ARE YOU WATCHING THE GAME?????????
The Jerome/Mitchell/Mobley + Okoro & Wade lineup is +31 per 100 minutes. One of our best. Small sample, of course.
My bad, +34.5. There are only 2 lineups in our top 20 (in terms of minutes) that have Wade + Ice. Both are positives. Though the other, DG + Allen + Jerome is only +5.4.

I wouldn’t mind Nurkic on a vet minimum.
Oof.fell har.d
SAM I AM CAME PLAY THANK GOD, RAGE TIMEOUT BOBCATS
Sweet move, Mobley!
Sam I am.
Great screen by Mobley
KA DOING THE SAME OLD SHIT, FUCKING SICK OF IT TIME TO GROW A PAIR COWARD
Lol.They’re on a 12 game win streak.
TALKING ABOUT THE 1ST QUARTER SHIT KEEP UP
yeah: they are focused on the 1Q as a team just not quite executing / making shots. It’ll come. Interested to see how we look against Milwaukee.
Crappy quarter
C’mon Cavs, build up a big lead before Tony Brothers works his magic. The game will get out of control. Mark my words.
yup you can already see it. they’re letting them play too much.
lmao wut it’s a tie game with us shooting sub 37 percent. talking about the refs is loser talk, we off that
Whelp Kenny getting out coached in the challenge game so far
The TonyBrothers crew inserting themselves into the game
Ty pushing in the back on that OREB
Wow Jerome pushed ball first there.
That’s the right call
Hunter! Split that double!
Man. Taj Gibson still rolling.
LeMelo needs to wear clown make up
Geez Mitchell. Make your damn FTs!
Tony Brothers means business 😂
I prefer nine minute shut outs to this goofy BS but it’s fine
CHALLENGE THE REPLAY—— GET THE PTS BACK
FUNKY 1st QTR IS STARTING TO BE A CONCERN
Let’s wait for it to end first-a tie game after 9 minutes is fine
I don’t agree with that replay taking away JA’s basket.
lol DG man. Airball and three fouls
That was a stupid foul DG
Brad Daugherty cracks me up.
Lmao Brad “DeAndre has great touch” THUNK
FROZEN MODE 🥶
Great passing.
chillmode is fine. Teams get up for us and Miles is good
MAKING MILES LOOK LIKE HOF
THERE YOU GO JA ATTACK THE FUCKING RIM!!!!!!
GET THE DAMN REBOUND DAMMIT
Wham! with the right hand!
That didn’t look like much of a foul. But I wouldn’t have used my challenge on that.
yup, unserious everyone
ZERO BALL PRESSURE, LETTING MILES DO WHATEVER HE WANTS, TWO TURNOVERS AND BRICKS
WAKE THE HELL UP
GET THE “ JUICE “ SQUAD READY—-WE SHOULD BE UP DOUBLE DIGITS
WTF IS THIS SHIT????????
