Live Thread: Pistons @ Cavs
2021-11-12Good evening CtB!
Tonight the Cavs will try to bounce back from a gut wrenching loss to the Washington Wizards, taking on the struggling Detroit Pistons in a Central Divison matchup. The Cavs will still be missing Lauri Markkanen and Kevin Love due to Healthy and Safety Protocol.
This is a matchup that the Cavs should win, but the question for this young Cavs’ team is whether they can ignore outside expectations and execute on the floor. Are they satisfied being a .500 team, or do they want to push the envelope as Cedi Osman’s quote reveals:
"With the way we're playing right now, if you want me to be honest, I think we can go to the playoffs. Not the play-in."#Cavs forward Cedi Osman on Cleveland's season so far.

What would be awesome is a double digit beatdown because the Cavs are clearly playing better, but what feels more likely is a defensive struggle that comes down to who has the last shot. Here’s to hoping yours truly is dead wrong lol.
Tip off is at 7:30pm ET and broadcasted on Bally’s Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, GO CAVS!
that was some ugly basketball right there LMFAOOO
GREAT PASS MOBLEY!!! DG CUT AND FINISH!

DAMMIT WINDLER SHOOT IT!!! THATS YOUR SHOT!!!
Damn overpassing
WADE GREAT REBOUND!
Detroit’s scored 4 points in 7 minutes lMFAOOOOO
Nice D by Cade on Rubio then. Knew exactly where he was going.
Killian Hayes still looking *rough* this year…
Nice little play by DWade…
WADE STEAL AND PASS!!!!!!!!!!!! ICING ON THE CAKE!
Ice dunk!!!
Okoro screwed up that play, had Mobley wide open for three. AC 100% correct
2 of the top 3 dunk leaders in the league, lol that’s awesome !!!
WHAT A FINISH ICE!!!!!!
With Stevens down will JB give someone else a run? I’d like to see Denzel get a few minutes, especially if we’re up big…
hope not!!! LMFAOOOOOOO unless it’s garbage time
his garbage-time game tonight was epitomized by a smooth gentleman’s three followed by falling down on a box-out on the next possession
as for three minutes of Pangos, getting a cheap foul (essentially he got jumped over and got in the way?) on the defensive end followed by a nice three
That’s the back breaker shot darius has to take and make.
Can’t say I love the fast break 3 but hey DG!
yeah i’ll never accept it, but if it’s DG shooting LMFAOOOO
Nice, DG! More of that!
DG WALKS INTO THE THREE!!!!!!!!!
damn getting good looks not hitting
Serious wingspan on that catch and finish.
WOAH DG TO MOBLEY!!!!
Darius gotta shoot that.
Mobley: “Sir, I’ll take that ball, please”
GREAT TWO DG AND WADE!!!! MOBLEY BLOCK!!!
Okoro’s rebounding has been fantastic this half… hope he keeps it up!!!
He’s been all over the place, wish he had hit a couple more shots…
yup, and stop turning the ball over, he’s pressing and rusty.
CADE IS GOING TO BE GOOD // ALSO SEEMS LIKE HE IS A GOOD PERSON// GOOD ATTITUDE—STILL GLAD WE HAVE MOBES—–MAN I WAS HOPING THE OFF SEASON ICE’S SHOT WOULD IMPROVE —OUCH —IF HE EVER GETS A CONSISTENT OUTSIDE SHOT // LOOK OUT
He will be. I really like his game
Mobley and DG are FUN!!!
WTF, bad foul Okoro c’mon they’re in the bonus
Not shocking, But Cade looks like he’s gonna be good…
yeah, he looks good
Beauteous give and go by RubiFro!
Okay that’s way better than Sexlubio
LMFAOOOOOo
ALLEN GOT PUSHED!!!! CMON REF!
RUBIO TO ALLEN !!!!!!!
RUBIO TOYING WITH THESE GUYS!!!!
Rubio bailout three
RUBES!!
RUBIO STEPBACK JACK!!!!
Lol Hayes.
ALLEN AND ONE!!!
Keep shooting ice
I did like he didn’t hesitate on the 2nd one
Yup…
Ice cold from outside
Damn that was a rough stretch for Okoro offensively sheesh
Kev back on bench!
GET THE FREAKING REBOUND GUYS!!! DANG!
Yeah this defensive rebounding problem seems weird to me with our jumbo frontline
they don’t know or aren’t strong enough to use their bodies to shield off the opposing player.
Just saw KLove on the bench????
yup he’s back but has to practice
Did Angel just say he has a sprained ankle??
assume that was Stevens she was referring to, thanks for the info CLF on the KLove situation
DG STRAIGHT TO THE RIM!!!!
WADE WHAT A PASS!!!!!!!!
Rubio with the hustle!
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT CALL GREAT DEFENSE DG GOT REFBALLED
Evan has so many weapons
CEDI TO THE RIM!!!!!!!
MOBES!!
MOBLEY FOR THREE!!!!!!!!!!!
