Live Thread: Cavs @ Clippers
2021-10-27Good evening CtB!
The Cavs are in the City of Angels to take on the Clippers, with the Cavs being solid underdogs (+8 at time of writing). Per Chris Fedor, the Cavs will be without Isaac “Ice” Okoro, and it might be a couple of games before the fans see him back:
#Cavs Isaac Okoro (hamstring) is OUT tonight. I'm hearing it's likely going to be at least a multi-game absence
— Chris Fedor (@ChrisFedor) October 28, 2021
Besides Paul George of course, the Cavs will need to beware of a revenge game from former Cavalier Isaiah “Hard Rock” Hartenstein. He’s had a very solid start to his season. Tip off is at 10:30pm ET, GO CAVS!

WHAT KIND OF REF BALL IS THAT???????
LOVE CLEANING GLAS!!!
SEXTON STRAIGHT TO THE CUP!!!!
GREAT D, Lauri
Figured he’d counter with Love here.
I don’t mind a shot clock violation there. Better a dead ball turnover than bad miss or a live ball opportunity.
agreed.
What are you doing Sexton????? why are you cutting into DG’s space???
Clips don’t look interested…..
I think they’re shell shocked!
Sick pass Rubio.
RUBIO IS CARVING THIS DEFENSE UP!!!! GREAT CUT SEXTON!
They need to just give Mobley the ball on the wing with Zubac on him and let him face up.
RUBIO MOBLEY PICK AND ROLL TO DEATH!!!!!
We are not shooting particularly well, awful from deep. Plenty of TOs. And we are up 10. On the road. Vs a team that made the WCF last year.
HANG THE BANNER!!!!
Man, all these playoff teams just not ready for a game….but it’s a long season I guess.
RUBIO WITH ANOTHER BUCKET!!!
RAGE TIMEOUT!!!! KEEP PUSHING CAVS!!!
Man. I really hope they can keep him around for a while.
RUBIO WITH THE MONEY!!!!!
bad foul Sexton, swipe at the ball!!!
Rubio was only ever looking for the foul. Savvy vet.
I don’t love this lineup. Why are they running all three of their guards this early in the quarter?
Lamar Stevens defense has been huge, +12 plus/minus in 15 minutes! 5 rebounds too!
+8 after 3.

dammit DG, just pull up for three!!!
but great close defensively DG!
Mobley is a one-man defense. Absolutely amazed by the kid.
HEY GCF!!!! GOOD SEE TO SEE YOU POP UP!
2nd that!
Been too busy to say up late to watch the NBA. Still follow the Cavs and this blog though. Great work you guys are doing.
This is the first game I have watched this season. Mobley is amazing, although of course he needs to bulk up. Defensively he seems already better than most bigs are ever going to get. KAT never got that.
Appreciate the love GCF!!!
Yup, Mobley is amazing, completely change the complexion of the team!
DG DRAWS THE FOUL!!! VETERAN MOVE!
OH MAN WHAT A PASS DG!!! MOBLEY GOT FOULED!!!
Harty, the human foul.
HOOOO WE WHAT A PASS DG!
LOVE DOING WORK!!!!
MOBLEY WITH THE DEFENSE!!!!
DG WITH THE TOUCH!!!
Great patience from DG there.
HANGING TOUGH!!!
Kept his eye on the defender behind him & still put it in the hole. Not easy to accomplish. His touch is improving with more game time.
definitely, love to see it!!!!
Looked like a double dribble by harty, but he can’t stop fouling. Good stuff if the Cavs can march to the line now.
I actually think that was pretty good play by harty the way they’re calling this game.That was also bad floor balance for love in the post there.
We need to stretch this out with PG sitting.
WTF LOVE GOT FOULED!!!
Yeah, but the Cavs all stopped playing.
HAHA, you see JB dap up Harty?
Swallowed by Allen!
Clips have hit a lot of tough shots tonight.
RUBIO WITH THE MIDRANGE MONEY!
Cavs getting fouls with their activity
Collin with a five point swing play!
SEXTON DEFENSE LOVE FOR THREE!!!!!!!!!!!
LAMAR SLAM!
LAMAR STEVENS FLYING THRU THE AIR!!!
oh boy, another turnover Sexton
I like this lineup.
Turnovers a problem, Sexton 3, DG 3, Mark 3….
RUBIO SETTLES IT DOWN!

Good look, Sexton, just missed the three.
Batum starting to go at Mobley
GREAT TOUCH SEXTON! FILLING IT UP!
YEah. With as hard as the Clips are guarding, Cavs need some off ball screening.
backdoor cuts!
WHAT A PASS DG!!! GREAT FINISH SEXTON!
dammit terrible turnover DG, now Clippers are trying to muck up the game more
That was nice action to get Sexton one on one going to the basket without the defense loaded up for him.
SEXTON WITH THE FINISH!!!! AND ONE!
You guys listening to away commentators? They really fear Sexton.
no on the Cavs broadcast, Sexton is a bucket!!!
DG just locked Reggie Jackson DOWN on defense!!
Mobley getting ref balled
both teams shooting sub 40% LMFAOOOOOOO
Sexton with 6 rebounds…. one of the worst rebounders in the league might be messing around with a double double!!!
DG on pace for 20 and 8

THATS RIGHT!!! PUTTING BANNER #2 IN THE RAFTERs!!!!
End of half execution been pretty trashy at times last couple games.
Still annoyed about the Okoro injury….dude was balling out.
yeah, weak link definitely Cedi off the bench sadly
Kind of a cheap shot, too, IMHO.
Anyway, I will take up 7 at half.
Really wish we’d tried harder to get PG13 his 3rd.
WTF was that Sexton?????? God I hate when he does shit… give the ball to the point guard!!!
Close strong, guys.
By close strong, you meant for Sexton to just hold the ball for a 3 point shot everyone saw coming?
LMFAOOOOOOOO against bad switch!!!
Was encouraging them not to do what they did.
LMFAOOOOO encourage harder Nate!!!
Nice to see Hard Rock has a home.
agreed, sad it wasn’t with us!
IDK if he’d play much here.
That’s 100% true
Sexton a little wild on that possession.
OK enough point Sexton, Rubio get the damn ball
Markkanen having a really nice game so far.
Where’s the 3-ball?
He’s got one I think.
agreed, esp defensively
Just a typical Kevin Love alley-oop.
Hi flying Love!
Lol. Kev.
LOVE IS IN THE AIR????????!!!!!!!!
Lol. Nice three step drive, PG.
