Live Thread: Cavs @ Pistons
2026-02-27Good evening CtB!
The Cavs are in the Motor City to take on the best team in the NBA currently, the Detroit Pistons for a nationally televised, Central Division, ECF preview showcase. Sadly, the Cavs have been stricken with the injury bug…. a half dozen Cavs could be out tonight. Nevertheless, let’s see where the good guys stand!
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live nationally on ESPN, Go Cavs!



Another shit call. Ball don’t lie.
Big 3 Sam I Am!
I am Sam.
SAM!!!!
Up 7, with the ball, TO. They miss 2 FTs, TO.
We are not very good situationally.
Some mfin homer calls
Sit down, Dennis!
Oh, ok – a dick in the crowd.
Yeah don’t know what that was about
Cade on his bullshit.
3 in a row. 2 JA and 1 TB.
Jarrett Allen , cash money.
Win or lose, this is a statement game.
Tyson is hot
2 straight missed FTs. We may need those later.
Lol. Thompson.
Nice. Big call.
Schröder on his bullshit again. Spends too much time fllopping
And DtM promptly kills it.
Can we get smaller?
Steal and double digit dime for CPJ. Hoop & harm for Bryant!
Having competent players at 11-14 on the roster is a super big luxury.
Moses Malone Bryant for the lead!
7-0 run, baby!
Winning the 3PT line and FT line.
Losing the possession battle: TOs and Oboards.
That was a homer ass call.
And that’s why you get in the bonus.
Bench holding up!
I’d rather we close with CPJ
Moi, aussi.
TB3
Sweet pass cpj
I’ve never rated Robinson.
OMG Detroit gets away with a kick ball
Donovan coached this girl for like ten minutes. He’s so cool.
He really is.
Lol
These fans are great
Got earplugs, Nate???
Cavs run incoming with Schröder on the bench
I like CPJ better. Though Dennis the Menace does have some great big game experience, but irrationally confident PGs are not my favorite player types.
Schröder. Ugh.
OMG that was a shit foul call.
Evan!
THIS IS WHERE KEON WOULD HELP SHUTTING DOWN CADE —-GOING TO BE A FIGHT TO GET A WIN
MY MAN NYQUIL “ HAS RUN INTO A WALL “ HOPE A FEW GAMES AND HE SNAPS OUT OF IT
He looks to have lost confidence. That last shot attempt is proof.
Other than Schröder’s TOs & poor shooting, that was a good half.
Yep – I’m fine with Dennis distributing, not so much shooting a lot of contested shots.
Goals: Feed the big men, and get Cade in foul trouble.
I doubt we win this game, but the fact we are leading at half, in Detroit, minus Harden, Mitchell, Wade, Strus, & Ellis tells me we can beat these guys at full strength.
I am OK with 4th/5th if we need to rest some guys to get healthy.
Umlaut sold that one.
Allen beasting
MOBL3Y thank god.
Mobl3y!
Tomlin sleepwalking for the second game in a row.
How many rebounds lost there? 6….7?
That shouldn’t have been a dh9ting foul either.
Sam’s quick release seems to bother many defenders 😀
Why the fuck is Schröder on cade?
Why are we back with the starting lineup at 8:42. Stop playing dettroits game.
DO NOT LET JENKINS GET GOING
Cavs very lucky, not closing out on D. Somehow it hasn’t hurt them yet.
LFG CAVS —— KEEP THE HEAT ON
BUNNIES/ FREE THROWS / 50-50 BALL s ARE VITAL
35pt 1st quarter. Hard not to like what the Cavs are offering so far.
We have to make bunnies and free throws, and get to 50-50 balls to win on the road.
CPJ showing his offensive skills. If there’s a silver lining to all these injuries…
Hope the game is a classic for you, Nate. Goooooo Cavs!
“ DITTO “ WHAT JASON POSTED———— SCHROEDER WITH 3 ASSISTS 👍🏀
With all the injuries, I just want to hang onto 4th and get healthy.
3van!
Allen, gre hands.
2 on case.
Allen active early. Like the sets.
go Cavs!
Excited to start
Like this starting lineup. Should be able to compete, but the bench gotta bring it. Expect Schröder to be a dick.
RIP 🪦
AM SURE ESPN ( AS WE ALL ARE) DISAPPOINTED ALL THE “ NO SHOW S “. 🤬
Harden Mitchell Ellis Wade Strus out.
That lineup may beatvthe starters tonight.
Jaylon getting shots up an hour before the game.
