Live Thread: Cavs @ 76ers
2022-03-04Tonight the Cavs have ventured down Interstate 76 to the City of Brotherly Love to take on the surging Philadelphia 76ers in a massive Eastern Conference clash. The Cavs are now fighting for their playoff lives as the sixth seed and two games up on the 7th seeded Toronto Raptors. The Sixers are making a run at the top seed in the Eastern Conference thanks to the James Harden acquisition. The chips are stacked against the Cavs, but that’s exactly how they like it. Some quick thoughts headed into tonight’s action:
DG finding another gear
One of the most disappointing aspects of Darius Garland’s performance last game was the seven turnovers, which should’ve been converted into shot attempts given how hot DG’s shooting was that night (13-22 from the field). The next level of DG’s basketball maturity is finding that 40 or 50 point game with 30-35 shot attempts when the moment calls for it. Does Garland have a “scoring dawg” in him, willing his team on to victory on the offensive end? He’s capable of MVP statlines along the lines of James Harden or Steph Curry, tonight would be the perfect night to bring it out.
Tower City defense
The Cavs need its defensive leaders, Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley, to dominate the game for the Cavs to have a chance. Joel Embiid is having an MVP caliber season, this is the perfect opportunity for Tower City to continue to make a name for themselves league-wide.
J.B. Bickerstaff play Dean Wade Challenge
Seriously J.B., the harping on about defense, dawg, and grit, yet you don’t play one of the grittiest dawgs on the roster? What gives? Unfortunately, Dylan Windler’s out so that rant will have to wait for another day.
Tip off scheduled for 7:00PM ET and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, Go Cavs!
10/15 .. having Maxey with 31 points is a no no.
Somebody need to score…
From 42, 28, 28 to now only 9 points in almost 9 minutes in the 4th on road…
Garland has scored zero points in the fourth quarter.
Maxey looking like the steal of the 2020 draft.
yup, there are definitely teams regretting passing him up
Sighhh….cleveland need to go on a run now..if not the game is over..
At the end of the day, is who has the run when it matters, in the 4th.
Run. A. Play.
Maxey kill the Cavs…
Lauri lights it up!
LAURI AFTER HOURS BANKING!
Be nice if Lauri can bring it down the stretch…that was a start…
Still liking their chances. STICK WITH IT.
LOCKDOWN DEFENSE!!!
DEFENSE!!!!!
DG TO MOBLEY!
That was an offensive foul on Harden…yet he gets the call…
Harden complaining about calls makes my blood boil.
CEDI CIRCUS SHOT AND ONE!
Three straight lousy possessions. Come on.
Cedi and 1!
LET IT FLY LOVE!!!
Jesus Kev
Cavs good.
Refs bad.
Harden still a turd.
big time block Mobley! DG needs to go for a 40 piece tonight.
Nice block, Mobes!
He’s not focusing.
Gotta put them in Mobes.
His free throws are so frustrating. He hits the jumper from that distance almost automatically
Mobley’s first true impact play on offense all damn game. Get some more bud
He has been good in patches on the 4th recently. 🤞
Thank goodness for DG
When someone jumps forward six feet to draw that foul, it should be offensive.
No Dean Wade to be found and Stevens crapping the bed LMFAOOOO thanks JB
Why play more than 8 guys when you get a guy back from injury who you can push to the limit?!
Looking for a flangrant but didnt check the foul on DG when he got knocked down
DG doesn’t flop…
This is ridiculous.
Just wait till the playoffs…
6 point possession
Honestly…if he’s gonna just fall down we might as well spear him into the effing ground from the air and make it count
+20
HOW IS THAT A FOUL
Blame Zaza…
Refs love them some James Harden…
Vomit
DG is soo smooth.. really realize how much we missed his shotmaking
Ooo-hoooo! DG & Ice keep pressuring, Sixers on the cusp of serious foul trouble. I like the Cavs’ chances.
the sixers announcers are unbearable.
I had to find another link to stream with Cavs announcers, so happy. found it on firstrow .top
cheers lol
DG is so good…
i’m shocked he only has 21. Has seemingly been in every successful offensive possession in the game
WHAT A PASS DG
Thybulle 5th foul…
That tech was garbage.
Cheap as hell…
Cavs just not generating easy offense at all. It is nonsense they are still in the lead. This win would be an Icy Miracle
Yet they are still winning…
Nice finish, Ice!
WHAT A FINISH ICE!!!!!!!!
I like the tech DG just took, they had numbers LMFAOOOO
Wow Okoro. That is your move.
Ice damn good tonight…
Who’s guarding Maxxey though?
Garland’s shadow
Cavs in the bonus feed the post!
WHAT A PASS DG!
The only way to keep them under foul pressure is to keep scoring…c’mon guys!!
Why are you passing up that shot, Cedi?
Mobley needs to drive that to the rim. He hasn’t made a 3 for a month
4th on Embiid…
DG TO JA
Great finish JA!
More of that please
Harden foul bullshit is ruining the game. Someone needs to break his fucking arm
You know it’s BS if Mobes is actually showing frustration.
JFC this officiating.
You know what you’re gonna get with this team…
you had to expect it
DARIUS GARLAND AMAZING!
DG in your face!!!
Ice full dawg tonight
Ice strong start to the quarter~ KEEP ATTACKIGN!
I’ll laugh in the face of any Sixer fanboy complaining about fouls when they have Embiid and The Turd on their team…
God, The Turd somehow sraws the foul on that garbage…that’s an offensive foul…
Great pressure DG.
Wasn’t planning on watching this game, feared the worst. Pleasantly surprised by the Cavs effort so far. Even if Embiid leads them home, just hope the Cavs keep it competitive.
There is so much “good effort, but lost” games a fan can take.. at the end of the day its about wins and losses and we want to reach the playoffs at least, preferably with homecourt.
Yep. Would be brilliant to snag this one to make up for the recent crap.
