Live Thread: Lakers @ Cavs
2022-03-21Good evening CtB!
Tonight fans are in for a treat as the Cavs welcome home 2016 NBA Champion LeBron James to the shores of Lake Erie to battle with the Los Angeles Lakers. The Cavs are riding the high of their 3-1 home stand and will be looking to make it a clean 4-1. The Lakers are in freefall mode and are in danger of falling out of the final play-in spot in the Western Conference. It appears that LeBron is in record chasing mode though and he loves to get up for occasions such as these, a homecoming game to the city where he won a ring. There’s no question it should be electric at the Rock tonight.
The Cavs’ struggle tonight will be managing the hype of LeBron’s return and just stick to business on the basketball court. The Cavs are clearly the better team and they’re expected to win, but it will take their best effort when facing the likes of LeBron. The Cavs’ defense and rebounding will dictate the outcome of the game. The Lakers are a mediocre to bad rebounding team but they love to push the pace. If the Cavs can make this a half court game and control the boards, it should be a workmanlike win.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM ET and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, Go Cavs!
This is somehow the best season and the season from hell. Having zero backup for DG is killing us
Yeah
Pull em. Games over
DG hurt
Good god DG gets hurt we are screwed
Cavs gotta be more disciplined with how they help on LeBron. Can live with double teams. Can’t triple.
WTF CARIS YOU HAVE TO GET A SHOT PULL UP SOONER
LeBron looks amazing as ever offensively
he always has an extra gear when he wants it
STRONG MOVE CARIS LETS GOOOOO
In the bonus. Keep committing take fouls, Lakers.
WOW what a dumb play LMFAOOOOOOO great catch Nate!
only hope for Cavs is LeBron and Westbrook get tired
MOBLEY!!!!!! WAY TO HANG IN!
LEVERT TO ICE!
Where was the foul?
no foul garbage call
I wonder if Lebron is trying to pass 37,000 tonight.
Figures the Cavs get one of Russ’s better games…
And DJ augustin.. like really ?
Lebron will never stop hating Dan Gilbert.
gotta respect hate that pure
At this point, I really regret the Cavs didn’t chuck Cedi and draft picks for Eric Gordon…if that would have done it…
Levert not doing it eh
It’s more that Cedi has been killing them…
LeBron not gonna let them lose now.
Based on game cast.. lebron is just eating the cavs alive by controlling this game.
Exactly what I’m seeing
Love touches the ball in teh post, easy bucket for STevens
WHATS JB DOING????????
Cavs defense is really too garbage to win this…
Man…. I know we have been winning but these games are frustrating as hell
Timeout. Give Garland a Blow.
LeChuck’s revenge.
LeVert makes some horrible plays. Dribbles off his leg 3 times and wont pass and drives into 2 guys. Real tunnel vision problem sometimes
And get they’re positive when he’s been in during the third.
Defense and gravity
100%
Yeah – because of or in spite of is sometimes the question :)
He and Moses only reserves that have done anything.
STEVENS WHAT A PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was a pass by Garland. Unreal
WHY DID CEDI SHOOT THAT????????? LOVE HAS WESTBROOK ON HIM
THANK YOU LOVE
DG about to play entire second half again ????
Lamar woof woof woof !!!
WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF
I have zero confidence in Cedi’s above the break threes…Love bailed him out there…
Nice play love
GET CEDI OFF THE COURT HE HAS ONE DAMN REBOUND IN 15 MINUTES!
AND JUST GAVE UP A LAYUP
DG TO LEVERT! LETS GO
Reeve out hustling 3 guys.
Swiss cheese defense
Why did he take brown out ugh
Lebron having his way…
Garland is everything tonight.
LeVert give em something please.
WHAT A PASS DG!!!!!!!!!!!! RAGE TIMEOUT LAKERS
DG ON FIRE LETS GO
Best thing that happened for DG’s development was playing with Rubio, and not having to share the ball with Sexton…
MEAN STEPBACK DG!
Forcing the ball out of Bron’s hands but our rotations are too slow/weak and they are raining 3s
Lamar!!!
DG MIDRANGE MONEY THATS MORE LIKE IT!
DG taking over
Moses bad at FTs
Moses yes !!!
HOLY MOSES!
Let my people go
What a horse shit call
WAKE UP WEAKSIDE
DG DOWN EUCLID
Lauri got mugged.
DG TO LAURI LETS GO
MOBLEY TO THE RACK! NEED A DAMN STOP!
LAURI NICE FINISH! GREAT POCKET PASS DG!
MOBLEY TO ICE !
DG TO MOBLEY LETS GO
gave up 39 points in the 2nd quarter, mainly due to the bench.
getting outrebounded too…. Lazy ass Lakers outhustling the Cavs.
LeBron the basketball player is still pretty dang good man
TAKE THE BUYOUT LEBRON!
I havent been able to watch the game as yet.. will watch in the second half but I mean since we were up 31-17, with 3 min left in the first.. we’ve been out scored 50-33 in 15 minutes.. unacceptable to this team.
Cedi is shitting the bed on defense, get WIndler in there JB! WTF?
JB doesn’t know how to react mid-game. He goes in with a plan and pushes the buttons he plans to push. To be fair we have a better record than anticipated. He trusts his record at this point.
For whatever reason, JB either personally hates Windler, or just thinks he can’t play. There can be no other explanation.
Making Augustine an all star
Way, way, WAY too many points given up to this team. For the love of god, shut down freaking Augustin.
Well,this is a poor beatdown so far.
Too much Stevens. Toomich showboating by the Cavs.
DG is getting caught up in the hype, move the ball a good shot is happening every time.
needs to get a tongue lashing at half. Play like you’ve never met the other team’s players. just do normal shit
that stevens shot is my least favorite shot in bball
