Live Thread: Cavs @ Warriors
2022-01-09Good evening CtB!
The Cavs continue on their West Coast swing of their road trip traveling down Interstate 5 to the Bay Area to take on the Cavs’ arch-rival, the Golden State Warriors. Steph Curry and Draymond Green sat out their last game, which just goes to show the energy they’re putting into this matchup with the Cavs. They’ve also tabbed this game as the debut of Klay Thompson after a multi-year absence. The young Cavs should be honored that the Warriors are pulling out all the stops tonight to try and eek out a win.
The Cavs are healthy with the exception of the obvious guys… Okoro’s still out. The Warriors are only missing James Wiseman. As for the game on the court, this is a massive matchup of top five defenses. Which defense will impose their will on the game? I’ll take Tower City every time.
Tip off is scheduled for 8:30PM ET, and the game will be nationally televised on NBATV… GO CAVS!!! And never forget…
Yeesh
WE SHOULD BE COACHING—COACH BUCKNER TOOK OUR ADVICE—FRUSTRATIONS—-TALKED ABOUT LIMITING 2ND CHANCE PTS —–AMAZING
COACH GREG BUCKNER RIGHT ON THE MONEY
Judging by plus/minus, More Rondo, more Windler please.
LAURI NEEDS TO GET WITH KLOVE ON SOME LOW POST MOVES// BABY HOOK—UP AND UNDER AND JUST POWER IT UP AND “THROW THE HAMMER DOWN ” !!!
ANY PLAYER THAT COMES OUT AND PLAYS “CANDY-ASS ” BASKETBALL WILL// SHOULD SIT THE ENTIRE 2ND HALF
Yeesh, Dubs too 27 threes that half…
that’s the mark of a team that’s outmatched!!! LMFAOOOO
Or if we could make a 3. 3-12. Two from DG. 1 from Windler.
Draymond not playing. Looks like he wanted to be out there for Klay at the start. Yanked immediately and has not been seen since.
Apparently some calf tightness in warm-ups
I’d like to see Mobley and Allen get better looks…when they’ve gotten the ball, it’s pretty much been 20 feet from the rim…
I’d like to see Lauri make a shot.Not sure how many single digit games they can absorb from him.
AGAIN IF I AM J.B. I AM PISSED IN THE LOCKERROOOM AT ALL THE 2ND CHANCE PTS WE GAVE THEM ——CHALLENGE EVERY PLAYER ON THE TEAM THEIR ” MANHOOD “
Came in late, down 5 in SF and Thompsons return seems pretty good. I’m sure the place was going crazy when he came in.
12-4 on the offensive glass.
If we could finish the possessions, we’d be ahead.
Lucky to only be down 5
THANK GOD FOR “DAWG ” STEVENS
Not a great Cavs half, but they’re still right there…
Only down 5… I’ll take it. Protect the boards in the 2nd half and this game is gettable.
don’t why they’re complaining DG gotta bird.
Should been another and one for Stevens.
Is Stevens the Cavs secret weapon this game?
I think they are trying to ignore him, and he is making them pay…
Barbecue chicken Curry.
STEVENS IS A DAWG
Garland been kinda bad this half.
Seems really bothered by their D…
they’re cross matching larger players on him
Yeah…DG is incredible, but to this point in his career, he tends to have trouble against size…not saying it’s easy, but I hope he improves at that…
Way to attack, Lauri. Make some FTs.
Run the floor! Stevens!!
CEDI TO STEVENS!!! THAT WAS AN AND ONE!!!
He was pissed.
Not sure Klay can still really defend, but it’s his first game…
Stevens is balling.
STEVENS WITH THE GET BACK!!
Only one showing consistency tonight
Really pisses me off that cavs have to be the team Klay returns against.
I have seen enough. I think.
Wilting on the glass.
great defense Lamar!!!!
Argh. Allen stared at that ball.
yeah that was awful
GREAT HELP SIDE DEFENSE JA!!!!!
Lauri gotta watch clips of Kevin Love at the three point arc. Markkanen’s setting up too far behind the line. Hee needs to take a step in, shoot with more arc, learn to pump fake/move to get free, and stop jerking his head back when he shoots.
(thanks for the tip on the last bit simmo)
(Doffs hat)
HUGE block by Allen
AGREE GIVE WADE SOME MINUTES—HE WILL GET YOU SOME BOARDS ALSO
LOOKS LIKE LAURI NEEDS TO GET “MORE LEG—AIR ” ON HIS SHOT—-SOMEWHAT TOO FLAT OF A SHOT —JUST MY OPINION ——-
Cavs defense has been superb, but have given up 10 offensive rebounds so far. They’re losing the rebound and assist battle.
Lauri same problem. Too deep, throws his head back. Every time.
If we could find someone to take Markannen, I would not object.
I am ready for some Dean Wade minutes.
100%, JB is 100% wrong for that.
Just a step too far out, Lauri…
Yeah. He’s gotta set up a step in and shoot with more arc. Watch love clips.
I am more than happy for curry to score 45 and GSW to lose. Shut down their secondary scoring options. Great block Allen.
Gotta make him defend though.
Yeah they just hide him so well and we are just letting them
GREAT SCRAMBLING DEFENSE!!!! CEDI RUN OUT!
DG is a dawg…
Lauri got fouled. Way to run, Lamar!
Great ball movement to Stevens
GREAT PASS DG!!!! RONDO TO STEVENS AND ONE!!!!
Stevens is our only canine.
Wiggins just roasted Rondo.
Ugh, take that three, DG…
yup, Lauri too deep JTA a great defender.
Rondo bad sequence, had Allen or Stevens mismatch, took the floater instead, led to easy GSW bucket.
Lauri touches the ball, great things happen.!
GOOD HUSTLE DG!!! GREAT FINISH STEVENS!
Dubs get away with so much. Curry an extra step. On that drive.
HE HAS 3 ASSISTS
OK, Rajon.
big finish Rondo! LETS GO

*whips tomato
YEAH I KNOW SIMMO —WAS BEING FRUSTRATEDLY SARCASTIC
Ah gotchya
Rondo kinda stinky
Need DG in there…
We need some dogs.
100%
Cavs should throw money at Payton.
man too many loose passes getting tipped and stolen
Love bad sequence, missed a tough shot and got caught sleeping on the defensive help.
Love is at least trying.
2nd chance points are the story of the game
TOs and boards killing us.
We should be ahead right now.
IF I AM J.B. I AM “IN THEIR FACES ” AT HALF TIME —CHALLENGING THEM TO REBOUND// GET AGGGRESSIVE ——-WHERE IN THE HELL IS TACKO WHEN YOU NEED HIM
He got waived
Some fire from Mobley…
Mobley superstar!!!!
MOBLEY AND ONE!!!! HES A DAWG
