Live Thread: Cavs @ Rockets
2022-02-02The Cavs are in the Lone Star State to face off against Jalen Green and the Houston Rockets. The Cavs are coming off of a gritty, tough win against the New Orleans Pelicans Monday night, while the Rockets’ tank job is proceeding as intended. The Cavs will be looking to maintain their as a contender for the top seed in the playoffs and take care of business. Unfortunately, Darius Garland and Lauri Markkanen will both be out so the Cavs will have to grind it out on defense if they want to win.
Luckily for the Cavs, the Rockets are the worst defensive team in the NBA, so it should be a chance for Cedi Osman and Brandon Goodwin to build upon their solid outings last game. On the flip side, keep an eye on Eric Gordon, a potential Cavs’ trade target. Garrison Mathews and Josh Christopher appear to be some solid players, far superior than the Green/Kevin Porter Jr. backcourt. At the end of the day, hopefully the Cavs can take care of business against a hapless opponent.
Tip off is scheduled for 8:00PM ET and will be broadcasted on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, GO CAVS!
Was that Demi Moore?
What the hell happened to our FT shooting? We were excellent beginning of the season. Complete disaster.
Rubio was a good influence.
Rubio got injured.
We routinely shot 85+ early…even the bigs. Youre not wrong.
JB giving it to Isaac there
This FT shooting lately is maddening…if Cavs lose, they can point to that…
Jesus I just can’t take this ft shit
it sucks to watch, prison for Adam Silver
Blink twice….lol
Lol.
Rockets look like they don’t believe. Crank the pressure.
Goodwin pretty solid…
Very much so.
Better activity at least ?
How do u not have that pick and pop scouted?
Yeah too easy for Wood there
Ok…no more makeup calls? Cavs getting homered for the 2nd night in a row. At least tonight we aren’t at home
Allen definitely got submarined.
Cavs offense too strong side dominant.
Cavs have to blow them away right now. Cannot handle a close contest without foul trouble.
ICE a monster on transition. Is there a better team at scoring off of stops?
Well done BG!!! Hand off to Allen and Cavs suddenly looking capable.
Alright cavs…steady on d and consistent on offense. And MAKE your free throws plz
There we go….Cedi on the receiving end of good movement
Bring on the makeup calls! JB had a talk with the ref’s wives at half
Lol
Looks like they got a call from the league office to even out the fouls.
Big momentum shot by Goodwin.

Yikes what a demoralizing half. Fouls took JA out of the game. Passing very ineffective. Goodwin and Rondo just not making an impact.
Are these the G league refs?
Yes! They are actually, I think.
Lol. Daughterty: “well, we didn’t get the shot we wanted, but we learned some things.”
Relentless optimist.
Refs had a heck of a half.
Good lord what a bad ending there. Rondo turnover then don’t even start the offense til shit clock way too low .
Been some tough sledding for Rondo lately.
Cedi looked like he got tackled.
LOVE COOKING LETS GOOO
Finally getting some breakdowns on the Rockets defense
33 foul calls this half WTF
Ride love please.
And Stevens
Lull from the Rockets, opportune time to come back.
Well the refs aren’t calling a foul every other possession.
Never mind.

Rockets 50% from 4, Wad3!!!
Ball don’t lie.
Effing flop. Ref swallowed that crap. Terrible.
Wide open 3 balls will end this game quickly.
TBH we look so bad, Goodwin should be licensed to do whatever he wants.
NICE ATTACK GOODWIN!
Yep. Gonna be a long night
Mobley handle is not good enough. Much work required.
especially in the post position.
Mobley with the moves !!!
Davis on 4. That was…fast.
I think that was fourth team foul? Idk.
This game is rivaling the Detroit game for worst of year.
Davis has 4 fouls in 2 minutes lMFAOOOOOOO
Ed Davis not good this game, but these refs are insane
Foul calls 14-7 in favor of Houston LMFAOOOO
This is not going well
This game is awful
Love just got owned!
Gordon auditioning.
Davis getting eaten alive wake up JB!!!
K love has to start making some buckets
Goodwin great distribution. Love just not hitting.
great pass Goodwin, Love just missed
Wade in.
JB having a conversation with Goodwin about floor balance and pace.
This is gonna be a slog all game long…
SENGUN IS GOING TO HAVE A NICE // LONG NBA CAREER
Agreed.
