Live Thread: Cavs @ Blazers (or, Midnight Madness)
2025-03-25Good evening CtB!
The Cavs wrap up their West Coast Tour tonight in the City of Roses as they take on the young and feisty Portland Trailblazers before heading home, and staying eastward pretty much for good for the rest of the regular season. For the good guys it’s another “get right” game in terms of a lottery opponent. However, the Blazers’ young players are having their moments of March glory. So, the Cavs are in for a long night if there’s not a professional focus and physicality to their game tonight. Everything boils down for the Cavs to: can they rebound? Does Kenny Atkinson believe in playing players who rebound? This is how the Cavs’ future will be defined. Where’s that junkyard dawg chain????
Tip off is scheduled for 10:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Fanduel Sports Network, Go Cavs!
INVESTIGATE THESE REFS
Flop!
Just gotta guard the three.
MOBLEY GOT FOULED BUT MOBLEY HUSTLE >>>>>>>>
STRUS IS LOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jarrett looking tired mentally — just all kinds of weird loose passes. Klingin is a load to keep of the glass.

I don’t know why theit closeouts are so shitty on corner threes.

Strus has been so dynamic lately
Jerome with a shit closeout
Not his first one of the night either, he’s pissing me off.
Mobes misses a bunny. Argh.
Cavs finally get a call.
Great closeout on that three, Hunter.
Mobley feeling himself.
Finally Mobley gets a call.
Portland is impressing me, but the Cavs move Hunter back to the three and good things happen.
We got the lead again!
BALL MOVEMENT FINALLY THIS LINEUP MAKES SENSE…. STRUS AND WADE WILL REBOUND, HUNTER PLAYING THE 3. WRITE THIS ONE DOWN KA
Nice hands there, monley

TRY DEFENDING THE JUMP SHOTS BOZOS
PIVOT FOOT JARRETT ALLEN >>>>>>>>>>>
WHAT A SHOT MERRILL
Think we can compete well tonight. The scoring distribution works more smoothly with don out lately. All that matters is that he get right for the offseason. Not certain when the end of bench gets more run, but think we need to see that soon.
Avdia has been killing teams. Hope they contain him
Merrill getting the start tonight.
Not sure I get this.
better than Okoro
Sending a message, I’d say. Something to do with effort.
Good
Good for Miami laying the lumber on Jimmy Butler’s gold bricking ass.
BLAZERS WILL BE A BETTER “ BAROMETER “ GAME THAN THE JAZZ GAME—— OF COURSE SPIDA BEING OUT DOES HAVE AN AFFECT— HOPING TO SEE THE CAVS GET THAT MOJO / FOCUS/ CONFIDENCE/ BACK
