Live Thread: Cavs @ Suns
2021-10-30Good evening CtB!
The Cleveland Cavaliers are in the Valley of the Sun to take on the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Saturday nightcap game. They will be without Isaac “Ice” Okoro for the third straight game in order to manage his hamstring injury. In a bit of other roster news, the Cavs have picked up the options of Okoro, Darius Garland, and Dylan Windler.
Given the ridiculously tough circumstance the Cavs will be playing under with respect to scheduling (what’s your problem Commissioner Silver?), it would a moral victory if the Cavs cover the spread in this one, +10 at the time of this writing. The Sun have played like crap to start the season and will be desperate for a win. Hopefully the Cavs can keep them in the mud for one more game… GO CAVS!
WINDLER DRIVE AND DUNK!!!!
Great pass Crowder
definitely good call
dammit DG has to take control of that possession
5 point swing at least
GREAT DEFENSE WINDLER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Straight up!!!
DG TO MARKKANEN LETS F********* GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
Cedi really solid this game
Cedi seems happy in his current role. Good to see.
Good to. This lineup has run its course.
So now just not sub anyone back in ?
LMFAOOOOOOO JB is wildin tonight!
JB ran that unit into the ground LMFAOOOOOOO
Ok let’s get it to single digits
Need one barrage to get it close.
WINDLER STEAL!!!! CEDI THREE!!! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
Seriously? You gotta foul Javale there. Come on.
Ok solid close when u don’t play exhausted players.
Well that was interesting at least, playing with energy
SOMETIMES ITS REALLY THAT EASY!!!
WADE JUST LOCKED DOWN BOOKER!!!!!!!
WINDLER TO CEDI!!! LETS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
dammit wide open shot for Love just missed.
CEDI WITH GREAT DEFENSE AND GETS REF BALLED GTFOH HERE REF!!!
Rubio is shooting too much.
Yup, 100%!!! Hopefully someone will ask him about his thought process!!!
Mispost lol
LOVE IS IN THE AIR!
DEAN WADE AND WINDLER LOOK FRESH@!!!
Would be better to just dribble out the clock each time down.
My god I turned it on when it was 46-41…. This is unbelievable
Here comes the bench… finally
LMFAOOOOOO JB was on some f***** clown shit tonight!!
Dean’s activity immediately pays off, glad you got off your ass JB!
But Crowder still sucks
Nice finish Rubio!
Jeez that is hard to watch
This could get ugly. Last night was the the one to win. This was always going to be a schedule loss.
Long season everyone!
For real. Might need to bring in Tako before too long.
yup for sure! But JB’s coaching sucks
Can’t they try to get Allen going down low. Get Love or Mobley operating from the elbow. This is pitiful.
Yeah sorry I tuned in. 10 minutes of nba game… 6 points
Yeah I think we missed the good stuff DanK! ☹️
It was a fun first quarter!! LMFAOOOOOOo DG, Love, and Mobley were cooking!
Stevens wtf
Seems like the last Cavs bucket was 30 minutes ago…
Sexton just bricked it off the backboard. WOW
NICE DEFENSE MOBLEY!
Yet another Sexton turnover
oh my god Sexton just dribbled into Jarrett Allen LMFAOOOOo
LOL Sexton….that was a riot…
Becoming the Washington Generals.
holy shit did Sexton just dribble for 20 seconds and launch a off the dribble 3???
Booker just worked Mark with the exact same move LMFAO
Suns roasting Sexton
stupidity (bitterstuff) and laziness (3 drunk) gave this one away.. sad..
Booker just worked Sexton 1v1
14 TOs…
Booker too smooth
the victories were unexpected and uplifting.. mobley has been a revelation.. the outlook is certainly not dire.. BUT, i think this is going to be a team that will try the patience of job.. there are holes in the roster, and it is not the most talented.. not sure i see this team winning 41 games (a la simmons of the ringer) .. rough patches are going to happen.. hopefully someone makes kolby an offer he can’t refuse (a good one)..
good attack Mobley, gotta finish
Sexton is a turnover machine.
Is that bad…?
Lauri had booker on him and did nothinf. Sexton gets a bailout foul.
Nba players used to average 40 mpg in the 80s and it was crazy up and down back then……
it’s 3 games in 4 nights against a team that got 3 days rest… JB should know better.
Sure, but I think we’ve swung along way from functional rest in the nba towards just limiting minutes to limit minutes. This would have been standard for AI in the early 2000s or lbj, or kobe, etc.
LMFAOOO sure, for all time greats, they can do things like that!
It was up and down, but players didn’t need to defend space then like they have to now. No one was defending the three point line, almost everyone was in or close to the paint…
yup, completely different game.
if cedi has the hot hand.. let him play.. ride the horse that is delivering..
3 guys who are 1-4 on 3s.. unacceptable.. they are giving this game away.. trying to play steph
Problem is we don’t have many hot hands – 3P FG% as of now:
Garland 36
Love 17
Markk 26
Sexton 27
Cedi 37
Mobley 33
Asking for Wade is not a terrible idea…
Garland on pace for 44 minutes and cavs playing 8 man rotation on second night of b2b.
Is that a problem…?
LMFAOOOOO only if your goal is winning!
Better conditioning.
Is windler DNP – Coach decision or DNP – Injury X
coach decision, declared healthy a week ago i think

Garland embodies “million dollar move, 5 cent finish” too often. Need more of those threes to drop.
Brutal 22-4 run by the Suns to finish the half
DG played 22 out of 24 minutes that half WTF JB???????????????
3rd game in 4 and that’s your plan JB????????
No reason Wade can’t be getting some minutes…
Haven’t been able to watch. 11 tov oof.
Could have used that backup PG. Too bad he’s out tonight
FUCK JB FUCK
JB sucks running out IDIOTIC lineups
there is no reason to be 3 happy against PHX.. they are worse than the cavs
Just a TO fest the last few minutes…
Sexland 8 turnovers
9
Bleh
Geez what a mess on offense
unless the percentages are there.. that is, your 3s are consistently high 30s.. taking them is a losers game.. if you can’t make them, don’t take them go to your strengths
DG needs to sit. TO’s are getting ridiculous
yeah JB running him into the ground
over 20 minutes on a back to back GTFOH
Time for point Mobley
NOW YOURE TALKING BW!!!
Btw, I mean GTFOH to JB not you Bw!!! LMFAOOOOOOOOO
LOL. I figured.
8 man rotation on 3 game in 4 night get a grip JB!
DG/Rubio/Sexton SUCKS JB I THOUGHT YOU CARED ABOUT ON/OFF!!!
Just tuning in, how we looking?
Good so far, have led by up to 14 the entire half…
great start, short rotation again and Cavs are gassed.
I am starting to hate these short rotations
JB’s a damn clown
Same, went for a jog since I thought cavs would get killed. Maybe I should log off again!
