Live Thread: Cavs @ Wizards
2021-12-03Good evening CtB!
Tonight the Cavs are in the nation’s capital in a matchup against one of the most surprising Eastern Conference teams, the Washington Wizards led by Coach of the Year candidate Wes Unseld, Jr. The Cavs will be seeking revenge after the Wizards were able to steal a close one in Cleveland 97-94. Both of these teams are defensive stalwarts, both ranking in the top 10 in the NBA in defensive efficiency. The question will be which team can challenge the rim the best on the offensive end given the strength of both teams’ front courts defensively.
On the injury front, the Cavs will again be missing Cedi “the Jedi” Osman and “James” Dean Wade along with Collin Sexton of course. The Wizards are looking largely healthy, although apparently there’s some question to Deni Avdija’s availability.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM ET and the game will be broadcasted on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, GO CAVS!
DEFENSE
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CAVS CLOWNING THEM!!!!!!
DG is SO good at those transition backbreaker threes! Curry-esque dare I say…
MOBLEY BLOCK!!!!!!
BOOM!
DG THROWING HAYMAKERS@
AC talking about floors winning battles… I’m lost…
They should look at THAT foul against Okoro for a flagrant… smh
I was just about to pat us on the back for few TOs
that’s weird, Cavs better road team than home team?
Well… they did have Mobes out with the elbow during that long homestand…
ah that’s true!
Like if they have trouble shooting from 3… they’re in trouble…
This Wizards team seems fraudulent to me… their surprising early season success seems far less sustainable than the Cavs’ brand of basketball IMHO… but I could be wrong
“Frauds”! Hope Cols is doing alright
Oh wow… blast from the past
Stevens +13 in 6 mins…
Unreal.
His defense >>>>>>>>>>
Wiz look shook…
agreed they thought they could just talk trash and win!!!
Cavs defense intensity starts wearing on teams and especially wears on all stars
LMFAOOOOO LOVE ALL ALONE IN THE PAINT
That’s what Beal gets for flopping
BALL DON’T LIE!
BALL DONT LIE !!!
That was SUCH a flop by Beal… JFC
Seriously… look how deep this is…

Are they looking at a flagrant???
Beal getting a little tetchy
???? what the hell is this review about?
Beal’s hurt feelings
Is this JA-Evan-Love together? .
Beal FLOP
damn, that’s a bad foul JA.
Has there ever been a ROY/DPOY?
IDK, but there should be!!!!
I did a little research. I don’t think so. I think the closest is Alvin Robertson who won it his second year in 85-86.
mark eaton (rip) won it in his 3rd year
Rodman won it in his 2nd or 3rd year
No Ice… KCP can’t shoot… don’t foul him…
man Mobley…WOW
MOBLEY PURE J!!
The Ice Block lineup…
Nate’s favorite lineup, Ice and Stevens.
The Markkensman…
nice!!! LMFAOOO
Feels like Cavs can get what they want right now….
oh man it’s the classic Okoro 3 that’s so bad John Michael and AC just stop talking momentarily
LOL TP
GREAT TAKE STEVENS!!!!!!!
My GOODNESS Markkenens range!
lol we were askin for that chase down after that segment
LAURI FOR THREE!!!!!!!
This lineup scares me a little.
Gotta be aware DG…
So… without Cedi and DWade, is it just going to be an 8 man rotation? Asking for a friend who hasn’t been around much…
Pretty much…
Probably
Yes correct
That shotclock fubar was a brainfart that belongs in the G league
THE MAGICAL “ASSIST ” NUMBER USED TO BE 23 —-BELIEVE WE “UPPED THE BAR ” TO 27
Has Nate come up with a good play on words for the Garland to Allen oop?
Terminal tower softball drop?
Ted Stepien would be proud!
Fro-rius throwdown
Someone forgot the clock.
Yep. Wasted the Ice o-board.
13/ 2—- ASISST–T.O. —LIKE THOSE NUMBERS
Oh man… I really hope KCP keeps jacking it up like that tonight… he used to kill the Lakers momentum with that shtick…
DG SMOOTH MIDRANGER
HOPE KLOVE CAN STAY HEALTHY —-HOPE I DIDN;T JUST JINX HIM —HE REALLY LOOKS ENGAGED // ENERGIZED THIS SEASON
DG is locked in with his passing…
LMFAOOOOOOO DG AND JA OVER AND OVER
Latvian Laser only thing keeping this close…

Cavs elbow post action is incredible.

From your lips to God’s ears.
