Live Thread: Cavs @ 76ers (part deux)
2026-01-16Cavs up for round two in the city of brotherly love. No Merrill, Garland, Strus, or Wade, so we’ll see how the guards shake out. Philly should be at full strength. Let’s hope the defensive focus and Philly ‘s lack of conditioning keeps up. Also hope that De’Andre Hunter has another solid game and the Cavs figure out who to start in Garland’s spot. (Love to see a Tomlin start). Go Cavs.
Nice win tonight.Rough spots, but they hung in.
And if you were watching the (it seemed at the time) critical Cavs’ possession with 90 seconds left, Spida had the ball but was looking the whole way to set up Tyson, not take the shot.
Somewhere, Detroit realizes their coach won’t draw OOB plays like the one we just saw…
Spicy! The truth hurts.
JAYLON TYSON
Tyson wins the game, with the clutch last-second inbound catch under pressure, heady drive to the rim and drop-off to Mobley for the game-winner.
Hard to play better than Tyson did.
Booyah!!!
That was filthy by Maxie
Hate to say it I but had zero faith in Mobley to hit both FTs.
Shush
Gotta hit those free throws Mobes…
Sixers bailed Mobley out with a foul that was thankfully upheld
Sixers suddenly look stagnant on offense. Surprising.
TALK TO ME DEANDRE HATERS
Two real good games in Philly.
Holy shit, Tyson en fuego.
Cavs better start saving their Tyson money now…
Deandre just dug Embiid a grave and dunked him into it! Holy shit!
Donovan screwed up an inbound, looked like he stepped in bounds too quickly. “I” would be highly likely to do that, but I’ve never seen an NBA player make that mistake. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Our bigs are terrible at protecting the ball and distributing.
Cripes
Allen; Spida, Mobley with back to back to back ridiculous turnovers leading to 8 Sixers points! If they lose, that was why.
JFC cavs
A series of unfortunate events …
Tyson tonight consistently is the bailout scorer, not Spida. It’s a big step.
Hunter with the knee buckler!
George fouling Hunter continuously, and Hunter gets called. Wow.
Yeah they are letting the Sixers hack everyone
Mitchell is sick
On the floor?
Thought Proctor was staying on with Tyson, but CPJ subbed for him
Need Tyson back ASAP (3 minutes into the 4th)
This lineup is struggling.
Hoooo! Entertaining game.
Holy shit
Sick pass Tomlin
Another one!
Tomlin redeems!
Tomlin looking like Shawn Kemp Jr on his rim runs – still aggressive after he botched one!
Mobley wowm
Well holy shit that makes up for Tomlin’s failed dunk.
Embiid is such a clown
Big props to Tyson for totally outplaying Maxey in both games. In fact, he’s the best player of the series.
Tomlin will laugh about that failed dunk, but not just yet. Oof.
Tyson with 29 in the third quarter plus checking Maxey
Get the ball to Tyson
Incredible finish Allen
So we are in Game 43 and Tyson’s still shooting over 45 percent on over four 3’s per game.
Yeah, that drop-off hasn’t happened yet has it?
God mobley’s shot is so ridiculous for his size.
Man Tyson gotta try to score there
Cavs gotta ride Tyson.
Too many turnovers from Mitchell, not nearly enough shots for he and the bigs.
I think they rotated Proctor out too fast in that second quarter, he looked great. Hope he gets a longer run in the second half.
Agreed, he was shaky to start but after the timeout was light’s out.
You gotta remember. He’s not used the big minutes in a real game.
Wow, Grimes actually did something.
God Embiid is such a grifter.
damn, WIDE OPEN Mobley miss, 5 point swing
This turned into a pretty good game
Embiifthat was sweet
HERE WE GO PLAYING BIG NOW
24 SECOND CLOCK VIOLATION!!!! HUNTER LOCKDOWN ISO DEFENSE
Joel the flopper
#STONKS
The emergence of players like Tyson is why I watch sport.
YES SIR
Amen.
#TYSONAGENDAFOREVER
Cavs needed these proctor buckets
Great to see Proctor back in the lineup!!
You’re make ng me hate all dukies.
#GODUKE #THEBROTHERHOOD
Cavs being a little too loose around the basket. Need to throw some pump fakes at these guys.
Turnovers difference in the game, and not having Wade to guard Paul George
I’m not sure why we only got like 90 seconds of Lonzo
Agreed, at least Proctor finally woke up
Tyson so solid.
Just caught up. Nice quarter close.
SPIDA AND MOBLEY TAKING US TO THE PROMISED LAND!!!
Both teams shooting 80% the offenses are nearly flawless
High level basketball right now, CPJ big 2nd chance rebound
jinxed it 3 bad turnovers giving them the edge
Go Cavs!
Hey thank you Nate for the LT!!
