Live Thread: Cavs vs Magic
2022-10-26Cleveland hosts the unfeated Orlando Magic tonight, who are hungry for a win I’m sure. The Cavs will be without Darius Garland once again, but he did fortunately practice with the team today.
Darius Garland's eye is still significantly swollen, but he continued practicing today which is only good news for the #Cavs. pic.twitter.com/6q1LvQl9Z0

Windler and Rubio also remain out. For Orlando, Fultz, Mo Wagner, Jalen Suggs, Gary Harris, and Jonathan Isaac are also out. They Cavs will have to contend with Orlando’s size and the stellar play so far of Paulo Banchero, Cole Anthony, and Bol Bol(?). Keeping Orlando’s lengthy dudes off the boards especially Wendall Carter Jr. Look for Cleveland to run early and often to negate the Magic size advantage. This team turns the ball over a lot and doesn’t defend will. Trust Austin Carr to say “you gotta hit em in the mouth early.” See you at 7!
Hell yeah JA.
Allen oh-MY!!
I love JA laying the wood, get mean!
Good hard foul
#1 draft picks get 5 and a half steps…
JA cleaning the glass.
Mobley flirting with a travel every time he drives
yup, he dribbling way too much too.
THERE YOU GO JA HUSTLE!
Nice step back there from Wagner
Back up 9. Magic with 2 points this half.
Great high low pass by mobes to ja.
Attaway Mobes
More Mobley in the high post yasssd!!!
YES SIR HAVENT SEEN HIM THERE ENOUGH!
damn c’mon Mobley
Caris really screwed up this posession not shootin gthe open 3.
Good d by wade and spida last few posssions
So look how the Magic are using Banchero, he is running the O. They are going to lose a lot but he is going to improve massively and be a superstar. I know Mobley a much different player but right now he is just getting buried in the offensive pecking order, I hope it doesn’t stunt his potential and I also hope it improves once DG is back.
KG’s offensive game really took off at age 23, so Mobley has some time. I think he’s trying to do too much on offense personally so far this season.
his turnover rate is godawful.
With Mitchell, DG, and Levert I think there won’t be as many post opportunities as last year. P and r opportunities should go back up once DG comes back.
We are in different places as teams. And Banchero is a MUCH better offensive player.
Mobley is the worst offensive player we have outside of Okoro & Stevens. He should be down the pecking order.
He needs to work on his game. He will play a ton. But no way should we run thru him. In blowouts he can experiment more.
mobes is not durant.. he has some growing to do.. as i have said, i think the hall of fame talk is very premature.. he can be a key contributor.. but not going to carry a team to the promised land
Good convo and insight all! Mobley May not have that trajectory but he also will not get that same freedom and license to fail since are not in rank mode
Mobley rushed the first shot, but thankfully made the 2nd.
Caris’ spot shooting looking good so far this season. Off the dribble not so much.
SPIDA TO CARIS THANK GOD
Both teams ice cold
WTF JA JUST GOT OUTREBOUNDED BY A SHORTER PLAYER GET UR HEADS IN THE GAME
WTF Caris??? the offense is shit tonight sadly
GREAT DEFENSE WADE!
WTF JA just airballing shit now?
3-7
Cavs kind of toying with their food here.
All of Orlando”s games have been fairly close up until mid 4th or so. Or at least 3.
The fratello thing was announced at the beginning of the year. Daugherty and Fratello were gonna cover some games for him.
Please no more Daugherty.
yeah i like daugherty but he’s too southern for me LMFAOOO.
Neither are worthy successors.
Tough game for the Bol Bol haters. 7 rebounds…
oh man, hope Mobley shows some competitive spirit!
wade.. key signing.. key piece.. love underdogs who punch above their weight.. and work to improve
Missed the beginning. What’s up with Fratello calling the game, and AC back in the studio?
Honestly I prefer it. Fratello is nice and boring. Easy to tune out.
IDK, but it’s nice to hear him analyze the game
Always enjoyed Fratello. More xs and os.
It is hella weird to not hear AC’s voice though. Much less laughter on the broadcast
:( I miss that!
AC has his moments but he’s basically a sound board at this point.
We’re playing like crap and we’re up. Spida ain’t going to be missing forever.
Mobley has 2 rebounds, unacceptable.
Not sure he will ever be a good rebounder as that is one of the stats from college that translates accurately but yeah he has to do better. If he fills out the frame he won’t get pushed around as much.
just need caris to stop turning it over and take shots and Mitchell just needs to hit something, should come out with the W
i think LaLa goin 0-4
You know Mitchell has serious hops the way he seems to float on some of those dunks…
An guard that is 6’ an can dunk like he can gets way up there.
dammit Mitch make the pass to Caris he was wide open for three.. trust your shooters!
Nice rally to end the quarter.
Too bad DM could not hit the J at the end.
i do love me some spida jams
Mitchell shot out of a cannon. Holy crap
Attaway Mitch!
DONOVAN PUT BACK!
Wade has been excellent. Hustle, timely shooting, defense, rebounds. Couldn’t ask for more
yup i like his activity on the boards especially in contrast to OKoro
I like ______(insert nba player) compared to Okoro’s rebounding.
CARIS ATTACK GOOD JOB!
JAMES DEAN WADE
CLUTCH FOR THE LEAD!
Love cans a charge like it ain’t no thing
KLove banana in the tail pipe… or the baseline
LOVE DEFENSE!
thank god Allen finally breaks the spell
LeVert tries to do too much when Mitchell is out.
Cavs getting good looks, just missing
I am not liking the feel of this one.
Yes feels like our defense is a bit of a patchwork effort tonight, Orlando look fresh too.
Wade should probably take that in instead of shooting from no man’s land
Let’s go Cavs!!!
terrible defense, behind the play the whole time
CARIS TAKE THE SHOT OVERPASSING!!!
Some nice dishes from Levert tonight…
He’s been awesome
And a bad TO right as I posted,..
Correlation does not equal causation
NETO FROM DOWNTOWN CARIS IS COOKING
Caris passing so well
WHAT A PASS CARIS!!!!! BROOKLYN CONNECTION >>>>>
CARIS DIME
That was a nice trail
Rare miss for Cedi
With Mitchell struggling with his shot would like to see the bigs get more opportunities. Not as much of a p ad r game like last year. DG coming back shoul help that.
yeah, DG gets our bigs so many easy points.
Thirded.
Magic are crazy long though. Bol. Bamba. Carter.
yup
Cedi has been crazy good
CEDI PULL UP J!!!!
QUIT LETTING FRANZ GO LEFT!!!!!!
Jimmy dean filling it up.
We are sloppy.
yup, dumb foul Caris
WHAT A PASS MITCHELL!! WADE FOR THREE!
DEFENSE GREAT DEFENSE ALLEN!!!!
bad turnover Mobley, c’mon man make the pass!
Mobes scores. He’s flicked the switch?
GRAB THE BALL
