Live Thread: Hawks @ Cavs
2021-10-23Good evening CtB!
A wounded Cavs team (per Chris Fedor, Darius Garland and Dylan Windler are out) faces the unenviable task of playing a sharp Atlanta Hawks in the second game of a back to back. The Hawks had a resounding win over the playoff-minded Dallas Mavericks on national TV.
#Cavs Darius Garland to miss second straight game because of sprained left ankle; Dylan Windler also remains outhttps://t.co/C93rSUOHex

The head of the snake for Atlanta is obviously Trae Young. It appears that the 10th pick of the 2019 NBA Draft Cam Reddish is poised for a breakout season in a bench scorer role. Gorgui Dieng is a key veteran pickup who paid immediate dividends Thursday night.
The tip off is scheduled for 6:00pm ET and CtB veteran Elijah Kim will be in the house for some extra mojo. GO CAVS!
RUBIO WITH THE MOVES!!!!!!

Rubio has been masterful this game. Lauri having a great fourth.
RUBIO MVP LETS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
MARKKANEN STEPPING UP!!!!
what a pass Mobley!
Great play Lauri!
RUBIO/OKORO/LOVE/MARK/MOBLEY IS GETTING IT DONE AGAIN!!!!
LAURI MARKKANEN SAVES THE DAY!!!!!!!!!
That should’ve been an offensive foul by Young.
Cavs hitting the wall
Sexton spent 20 seconds dribbling and doing nothing at the top of the key what kind of offense is that????
If you don’t like that, you don’t like Sexland…
They’re gassed. Set up pick and roll. No one is moving.
A guy trying to be the man who doesn’t have the talent or height to be the man.
GET SEXTON OUT AND RUBIO BACK IN JB WTF?????????
Rubio out and Sexton’s blowing it
Love too open.
dammit Love was too open just missed.
Ice trey!
LOVE AND LAURI HUSTLE OKORO FOR THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RAGE TIMEOUT!!!!!!!!!
Great touch pass rubio
Then stream froze. Okoro had a layup. Assuming he didn’t take it.
WTF??? GOAL TENDING?????
Thank goodness Love back in!!!
But mobley out. Should be an interesting defense with 3 relatively non-mobile bigs
Lauri and Ice! Being aggressive!
LAURI THERE YA GO!

WTF REBOUND THE BALL!!! Lauri nice block
Bring back the rubio, okoro, osman, love, mobley lineup
LMFAO. Collin just got dusted. Could see that one coming.
terrible shot Sexton, then Sexton and Lauri lazy ass defensive breakdown, rage timeout.
Lauri doesn’t go up strong in the post at all against Huerter, could’ve drawn the foul if he went up strong.
7 foot wing that isn’t a wing.
Or a center/pf.
even less of a big LMFAOOOO
my god Reddish
ALLEN ACTIVE HANDS ON DEFENSE!
Sexton dribbling to nowhere
Reddish beats the zone defense
Reddish looks really good.
Definitely made giant leaps from when he came out of college.
Thanks for yahoo sports tip. These guys look great in the 3rd
That was a terrible call. The exact call they’re trying to get rid of: throwing yourself into the defender.
dammit, Sexton blew the layup, tough shot tho
It was a nice play. Collin’s been great tonight.
Okoro bad foul
Cedi missed a wide open okoro.
Would he have done anything with it?
man Reddish with a tough finish
ALLEN REBOUND!!!
damn good two man Cedi just missed.
MY GOD RUBIO IS SO SMOOTH!!!!!!
GREAT CLOSE OUT LOVE!
Dare I hope for a non disastrous 4th quarter?
You can hope, but I think they need to lean on the love mobley okoro, osman, rubio lineups for that to happen.
LOVE TURN BACK THE CLOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s see if they keep the momentum with sexton running the show
MOBLEY IS BEASTING!!!!!!!
VINTAGE LOVE LEFT BLOCK BABYYY!!!
D
This lineup killing it. For obvious reasons. Balanced with actual wings.
Don’t know if it’s been mentioned already, but for anyone who can’t watch the game on tv, it’s streaming on the Yahoo Sports app now
Hell yeah MikeO get on it!!!!!!!!!
WHAT A PASS OSMAN!!! GREAT POST SEAL LOVE!!! VINTAGE LOVE!!!
Roubio to…
This group forcing tough shots by the hawks
Just looking at box score. Trae just missing shots, or succumbing to tremendous D?
He has been forced to pass and into tough shots.
Both. Cavs play him as well as anyone.
Length is bothering the Hawks! Bigs most active they’ve ever been!
RUBIO TO MOBLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mobley!!!
MOBLEY CONTEST!!!!!
GREAT TEAM DEFENSE!!!!
CEDI WITH THE THREE!!!!!!!!
Cedi!!!
WTF DIRTY PLAY REDDISH, JINGLES WAS TOSSED OUT FOR THAT YESTERDAY!
OKORO WITH THE NASTY!!!
Ice junkin it up
Ice board…
GREAT HUSTLE OKORO!
Now i want ice to be aggressive
Good TO, JB.

Problem is he is about to get a huge contract, and he may or may not be worth it.
dammit good second effort, OKoro cant make it pay off
Sexton gotta see the drop off pass to Mobley on the drive.
Cavs playing with their best pace all season.
Weird. Don’t understand this feeling
BIG THREE FINALLY DOING WORK!!!!
ALLEN BEAST MOVE IN THE POST!!!!
TRAE YOUNG AIRBALL!!!!!
