Live Thread: Game 1, Heat @ Cavs (or, Strus’ Revenge)
2025-04-20Good evening CtB and Happy Easter!
The Cavs welcome the Miami Heat to the beautiful, sunny banks of the Cuyahoga River for the beginning of the Cavs’ quest for immortality. The good guys are overwhelming favorites, but yet also almost universally doubted when it comes to “the inevitable” Boston vs. OKC Finals. It’s time to #LetEmKnow…
Tip off is scheduled for 7PM and will be broadcasted nationally on TNT as well as locally on Fanduel Sports Network, Go Cavs!
23 points in 22 mins – Jerome
Dude…. Ty is balling!
Allen with awesome defense then offense.
Close this out!
SAM I AM!
Beau Ty!!!

Attaway Sam
Jesus Christ Jerome.
Mitch tempting fate
Okoro make a wish minutes.
more frustrated by the donovan/ty/merrill minutes we keep having to see.
Mobley needs the be up on Ade Ayo.
EVERY TIME YOU GO TO THIS DUMBASS LINEUP IT DOESNT FUCKING WORK
Mobley just got dusted by my Mitchell.
They’re clogging the paint
are u f*cking kidding me !!?? hunter with zip in 16m ? caris and niang go for 35 in loss to NY.. never doubt the nose..
How’d that work out for them.
how’s this working out for cavs.. time will tell.. next 12m
They’re in the playoffs
not good enough.. hunter is not a rookie.. has had years to prepare.. carpe diem or sit on the pine and let the next man up try to perform like a pro..
like ty jerome..
We need to close quarters better than this game..
2nd quarter was up 58-42 (+16)with 4:23 and got outscored 12-4
3rd quarter was up 82-69 (+13) with 3:23 left, and got outscored 10-5.
Definitely bad closing qtrs.
Can we maybe close the final chapter quarter?
Again can’t close the quarter. And how did Hunter miss that layup?
That wlwas a goaltend.
How’s that a goaltend?
Can we survive the non Mitchell and Mobley minutes?
LFG!!!
Ball don’t lie
Challenge that
garland with a ridiculous finish.
What finish, Mitchell!
They got the rebounding memom
Defense has pretty much sucked shit…. we’re just too good on offense for it to matter yet, but it will eventually.
Too many quick 3s for Spida.
We should be up more than 8. One bucket last 4 minutes.
Agreed, but Hunter and Mobley have zero rebounds.
That’s some Orlando Magic offense right there.
Horrible close to the quarter. Figure that shit out!
Terrible sequence. Hate forcing the two for one there.
This officiating is shit but grab a damned rebound.
Are we gonna get a rebound at some point? Mobley in particular?
GET THE DAMN REBOUND WHERE IS THE FUCKING HUSTLE
Omfg. These refs are shit.
THAT’S AN OFFENSIVE FOUL FUCKING CHRIST YOU REFS DESERVE PRISON
HAVE SOME SHAME YOU CORRUPT REF

Can’t let Wiggins get easy shots off, put ball pressure on him

SNUBBED = “ LIGHT THE FIRE 🔥 “ FOR DG / DRE ——- SHOW THE WORLD THEY “ EFFFFED “ UP ——/ AS CLF SAYS. “ LFG 💪”
MORE BEER PLEASE
DG snubbed as a finalist for the Clutch Player of the Year, and Hunter snubbed as a finalist for the 6th Man of the year award finalist.
We need to come out strong, stay consistent and hit our shots. I haven’t watched MIA this year so don’t know much about their players… but I never underestimate a Heat team.
they suck but they always have Devil magick on their side.
No doubt! watched a few of the games this year…this team is not what we have come to expect from miami the last few years. They are an average team and they will give up if they are hit in the gut, at least that was how the regular season went…
yup, agree with this assessment, which is why i expect devil magick to be in full force LMFAO
