Live Thread: Cavs @ Jazz
2022-01-12Tonight, the Cavs travel to the eastern Great Basin to take on one of the giants of the Western Conference, the Utah Jazz. The Jazz come into the game on a three game losing streak and will be looking at the Cavs to try and notch a solid win. Utah will be without the services of nearly all of their frontcourt rotation, including Rudy Gobert. The absences will make for quite the interesting battle on the court, with the Jazz having to play uber-small ball against the Cavs’ Tower City.
For the Cavs, the game plan is simple. On offense, use the size advantage to get easy looks at the rim. On defense, don’t allow dribble penetration that leads to open kickout threes. In the wider context, the Cavs should have revenge on their mind after losing to the Utah by the narrowest of margins, 109-108. This is a fantastic opportunity to build momentum heading into the second half of the year by taking down a surefire playoff team in their own house.
Tip off is scheduled for 9:00PM ET and will be broadcasted on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes… GO CAVS!

Pretty good tonight, refreshing…
It seems he’s been exceeding expectations everywhere in the game except shooting. Hopefully he’s getting his confidence back and letting fly.
He’s 5-8
We are winning everything but 3PT shooting (3 makes vs 7) and TOs (8 vs 2).
The Jazz really take care of the ball.
Game has been chippy from the get-go. Weird.
Two playoff teams, it should be chippy!!!
Utah has lost 3 straight, they were pissed out of the gate.
Well, I will take up 6.
But we were up 14 a bit ago.
Poor finish.
Great pass, catch and finish by DG to JA!
Lauri screwed up on teh weak side defense, didn’t stay at home on his man. Cedi played great defense, moved his feet… Lauri didn’t have to help.
Fair, but otherwise he’s been pretty great.
for sure he might be the best player in teh game tonight! Just needed to trust his teammate more in that moment.
JA ends half on a good note…
Up 6… ok but really should be more
Utah was favored by 5-6 points, Cavs being methodical IMO. Utah gonna have 3 runs
Utah favored by 5-6 tells me a lot of money is bet by low info folks.
No Rudy or Whiteside, versus US? That ain’t a favorable matchup.
Cavs young, on the road brutal stretch of games missing 3 out of 4 rotation guards…. Cavs been underrated, but most of the public bet on the Cavs actually.
Argh that’s a crap finish.
WHAT A PLAY DG TO JA!!!!!
DG playing some gritty defense tonight, smallest guy on teh floor getting physical!
Let’s get Bog booted, too…
I want a 10 pt lead at the half. Minimum.
LAURI DEFENSE!!! JA AND LAURI TWO MAN!
Man what a poor stretch here. DG gotta gave more shots
13-3 Jazz run.
I know we are short at guard, but asking Stevens to guard small guards is tough.
Nembhard? Pagnos?
Wade
Late whistles are one of the worst things in the league…
2nd only to interminable video review
Haaaaaate to harp on this yet again but gone on JB! 8 man rotation again ?! Can we not see Windler and Ed Davis play 4-5 mins/half
I’m sure this is contributing to Cavs poor 2nd halves.
Yep
Or Wade. But, yeah. It is his biggest weakness.
yeah, it’s insane, he’s on some Doc Rivers/Tom Thibedeaux bullshit
He’s just trying to get them to build the lead and sit the entire 4th ;)
Man, Paschall playing out of his skin.
Thought he was good for GSW as well.
Make him earn it Lauri
Good aggressiveness. I don’t mind those dead ball tuenivera that would be layup if they connected.
Yeah I agree. As AC said, you can live with that
yup, Stevens hustled the play thru… DG just off but good idea 100%
Cedi calling for the ball and hitting it. Super confident & I freakin LOVE IT!!!
CEDI FOR THREEE
Pure trey by Cedi
Followed by great individual D
Let’s try to get JA involved…
Goodwin cannot cover Mitchell. JB NEED TO SUB
STEVENS GREAT PLAY!!!! FOUND HIS TOUCH
STEVENNNNS!!!
F@#K JOE INGLES
100%!!!!
I saw Fedor tweet out his name as a trade target earlier. Was gonna say I think he could fit.
No douches, though. Hard pass.
Good get him out of here
Woah!!! Bye bye Jingles!!!
Jingles ejected…
Finnish finish!!!
That is encouraging from BF.
Goddwin 3!
Rage TO!
Gooodwin baby !!!
What an awful read on that break by Goodwin. Glad he made the triple.
GOODWIN CONFIDENT!!!! RAGE TIMEOUT!
Wow, even Goodwin hit a shot…
Bogdanovic is such a choch
Lol. Like he threw himself into someone to get a foul but the guy was already gone!
Big Finnish!
LAURI WITH NO REGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE
