Live Thread: Pistons @ Cavs
2026-01-04Good afternoon CtB!
The Cavs welcome the Detroit Pistons to the banks of the Cuyahoga River for a big time measuring stick game for the good guys. The Pistons are trying to prove themselves as a real title contender and class of the Eastern Conference. The Cavs are looking to continue to stack wins and climb themselves out of the play-in zone. Both teams will be going into the game with significant injuries, but such is life in the middle of the NBA season.
Tip off is scheduled for 2:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Fanduel Sports Network, Go Cavs!
SPIDA MVP
Mobley’s handlenis so loose this game.
Absolutely
CMON MITCHELL ITS MVP TIME
Indeed!
TRY DEFENDING SOMEONE GARLAND ZERO EFFORT TO THE CORNER 3 SHOOTER YOURE A BUM
MOBLEY + HUNTER = 25 PTS.. “NORMAL” OUTPUT FOR 1 VERY GOOD PLAYER.. IN A CONTEST THAT THE CAVS “SHOULD’VE” BEEN UP FOR AS A “PROVE” GAME.. INSTEAD.. LIMP.. UNCLE BUCK JUST SHAKING HIS HEAD.. SAD.. AND KOBY HAS FEW MOVES AVAILABLE THAT CAN MOVE THE NEEDLE.. SO, NICE 3 WINS IN THE WEST, AND THIS ? I KNOW.. THEY ARE “TIRED”.. NO.. THEY ARE “MEAN REVERTING”.. THEY ARE A .500 CLUB..
Weak……
Stewart in the lane for like 20 minutes there
Ridiculous move, Garland
JB / PISTONS WANT THIS GAME MORE THAN THE CAVS—-
Uh oh. Garland minutes
LMFAOOO and he’s in with CPJ it’s over
CRAIG PORTER JR >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
How the fuck did they win that challenge!?he hit him on the arm. Ball don’t lie.
CPJ! Get outta here!
JB not gonna win this challenge
Lonzo “Clank” Ball
Yeah, I missed the Denver game, so I’m still waiting to see him make a shot.
Ugly
WOW BROWNS WIN LMFAOOOOO AND THEYRE GONNA FIRE STEFANSKI ANYWAYLMFAOOOOOO
Second game in a row w $10K half court shot made!
Just showed the Garrett sack on the arena scoreboard. Hearty ovation/barking. Nice!
Just not very crisp on offense.
GARLAND SUCKS WITH EVERY GUARD ON THE ROSTER EXCEPT BALL, WHY IS HE ON THE FLOOR WITH CPJ THEY ARE A -23.2
GARLAND.. THE MELTING “JEWEL”.. “I’M MELTINGGGGGGG.”.. DON’T THINK ABOUT THE HAUL CAVS CLULD HAVE GOTTEN FOR GARLAND SEVERAL YEARS AGO.. AND THE POSSIBILITES THAT COULD’VE HAVE BEEN..
Bryant doesn’t get enough credit for transforming his body. He was much more doughy when he came into the association.
Cavs thurd quarter woes continue
DM sits for roughly 3 minutes of game time and the diff worsens by 1 pt. Not too bad
Call it both ways. Christ.
That Mobley possession was ponderous
WHY IS DG CONTINUALLY GUARDING CADE????? HE SHOOTS OVER HIM EVERY TIME AND GETS AN EASY BUCKET
Pistons forcing switches till they get a duck
That should’ve been am over and back by Mobley
SAVE US MITCHELL, MVP TAKEOVER INCOMING
M GARRETT- RECORD- CONGRATULATIONS
Hell of a record. But he didn’t do it in 16 games.
30/ 17 REBOUNDING 🤬
Loud cheer before restarting. Guessing for one Myles Garrett
Yeah watching on another screen, he just broke the record, Bengals gotta punt now and the Browns have the lead
ONLY GUARD WORSE THAN GARLAND WITH MITCHELL IS PROCTOR…. WAKE UP KBOZO
I have a hard time understanding what Kenny as doing there. Losing at the margins to JB is pretty fucking lame.
Similar lack of offense/defense switching at end of Nuggets game.
Insanity when CPJ and Tomlin are on the bench
GARLANDS OFFENSE IS USELESS WHEN HE CANT GUARD ANYONE, BOX SCORE BOYS FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THIS
That last 2:30 of first half was pretty brutal, and Coach Kenny gets much of the blame.
LMFAOOO KENNY NOW GOING TO ONE OF THE WORST 5 MAN LINEUPS IN THE NBA THIS SEASON
-36.8 NET RATING FOR THAT LINEUP BANG UP JOB KBOZO
Cavs come out in four guard again?
Jenkins can’t miss.
ANOTHER USELESS 4 GUARD LINEUP
That was really some terrible game management.
WHY ARE HUNTER CPJ AND TOMLIN SITTING SO LONG THATS OUR ENTIRE PERIMETER DEFENSE WAKE UP KBOZO
Woof. Kenny ran that lineup into the ground and waited two minutes too long to call timeout.
ZERO PERIMETER DEFENSE FROM DG MERRILL AND TYSON WAKE UP KBOZO
SOMEONE GUARD THAT JENKINS KID
WTF is this lineup. Been in for far too long
…Donovan sitting a little too long…
Foul trouble
With one?
I thought he had more… *Shrug*
Yowch.
Stop chucking. Get a timeout
Pistons foul every play and hope the refs don’t call it
Qwan’s D is so good
CAVS NEED TO KNOCK SOMEONE “ ON THEIR ASS “
That was a garbage call.
DG + 4 defenders been a long time since we seen a lineup like this… ABOUT TIME KBOZO
Lousy effort to start the second. Crappy closeouts, no rebounds, and open threes.
22-12 REBOUNDING ADVANTAGE, SOMEONE GUARD THAT JENKINS KID HE’S HAD TWO WIDE OPEN THREES
Ron HLOLnd airball
De’Andre finally does something positive. Gets to the line.
Bryant is the backup big we needed.
It only works cause the pistons are so small today.
Kenny finally stopped playing 4 guard lineups and we make a move
Might wanna get on the boards guys
Hunter doing a lot of dumb things.
Nice energy in building so far. Sam I am!!!
NAEQWAN TOMLIN DOMINATION ALREADY YOU LIKE THAT JB????????
Why doesn’t Tomlin play more?
Really executing well in transition.
Nice drive by Mobley, but on his previous missed turnaround jumper, I feel like he’s just a little too far away from the rim. He should be able to make those almost at will. I dunno, I’d like to see improvement.
All Detroit’s points have come shooting 3s over DG LMFAOOO
TBF not all “over Garland.” On some of them he wasn’t guarding anyone at all. That being said. His o looks good and he has done a decent job in lock and trail on Duncan Robinson.
GO CAVS 👍🙏NATE
Another dumb foul by Mobley
Mobley gotta go straight up on that pump fake. He has a tendency to lean
Nice transition d so far.
