Live Thread: Cavs vs Hawks
2022-11-21It’s a battle between a pair of 10-6 squads. On the Cavs side, they’ll be sans Dean Wade & Caris LeVert. Kevin Love will reportedly give the hairline fractured thumb a go and try to play tonight.
Meanwhile for Atlanta, DeAndre Hunter is questionable with an illness, and Bogdan Bogdanovich is out. Cleveland will have to punish Trae Young on defense, which probably means Lamar Stevens in the post as the Hawks tend to try to hide him on the opponents’ worst guy.
Trae’s putting up all NBA numbers with 27 and 9 dimes while Murray is dropping 21/6/7 joining a slew of starters in double figures. Should be a good one!
Stevens & Mobley!
It’s really a waste to put a good, physical defender on Young, since the refs aren’t going to allow it. I maintain the best way to handle Young is to lay off of him, let him shoot (within reason)…he’s not the shooter he thinks he is. Better to use Ice on Murray, since he’s not going to flop all game, and you can actually defend him.
That is a good take.
The best way to beat Trae is to kick his ass when he’s playing defense.
This, but I sort of agree with Mike. Young is much more dangerous drving and kicking, driving and dishing, or getting to the ft line.
Yeah, that’s easier said than done because he gjves almost no room coming around screens. And I thing if u go under, he’ll shoot and he’s dangerous if he gets going.
Mobes great d on murray.
Mobley! Sick block! Stevens and Cedi run the floor!
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO RAGE TIMEOUT SUCK IT TRAE
Nice block by Mobley
Right down Euclid!
Lamar trey. Good find by dg.
cLOLlins.
Anytime a player trips on their own accord it’s an automatic foul on the player guarding him
makeuup call for the cedi one lMFAO
Ah. Okoro. Don’t try to go before you got the ball.
Lamar!
LAMAR JUMPER LOOKS GOOD!!!!!
Gotta look it into your hands, Ice.
Fantastic effort by okoro after a botched pass
damn you gotta catch that ice.
Give that man an and1!
Good pass by dg to a rolling ja.
Love should have just shot that. But at least okoro had the confidence to shoot it.
Young is 1 for 7 from 3
turnovers and boards only reason why this game is close.
All the starts too. No turnovers from the bench
they’re tired.
Echo what someone mentioned earlier. Why is Love playing? If he can’t shoot what’s the point.
eat minutes at this point, they’re down so many bodies.
Did Neto die? Give him some minutes. Give Rolo some minutes.
Neto is dead, RIP
Gravity. Rebounding. Wade & LeVert are hurt.
Garland has 4 assists and 7 turnovers
That is not good PG play.
Good drive and dish by dg.
ugly shot Ice, but good defense on Trae
DG TO JA LETS GOOOOOOO
Time for Ice to make shot.
7 turnovers by DG.
Oh yeah!
Oof. Brutal inbound tov.
And hawks give it right back lol.
If they don’t clean up these turnovers.. games will be real ugly to watch.
Too much dribbling there by cedi
Forgot Mike Longabardi is coaching for the Hawks
lol fr?
Was that a make up turn over?
Too much turnovers by DG.. 8 turnovers this quarter.. and a lot are unforced..
Garland with 2 straight unnecessary turn overs 🤦♂️
LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
ICE with a shaqtin a fool
That can never be called a flagrant. That is a wrap up. Ridiculous. I sort of hate this league now.
Let’s go back to some godamn physicality. F this.
Shouldn’t even have gone to review. Gross. Too little contact allowed now.
LMFAO. No flagrant.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS BULLSHIT CALLL???????
Lol. Daughterty just baffled by officials buying Young’s flopping.
So they’re looking at that for a flagrant but the foul where DG gets hit in the face wasn’t reviewed. Got it!
I’m saying the same exact thing..just amazing
Gotta hit him in the trachea when he does that.
Another offensive rebound by ATL.
Mobley and Stevens not doing shit on the boards.
Don’t dare touch his majesty, Ice…
Young with another cheap flop
Cedi!
(cause he’s from Turkey)
Some nice defense by Okoro
Great cedi drive.
Cedi having a hellava night.
Been two great games. Hope it continues
CEDI HUGE FINISH!!!!!!
Nice Jedi Warrior!
Collins with 4 fouls
Stevens needs to stop handling. And Mobley needs to shoot that.
Agree!!!
Tovs. Mobley trying to do way too much.
I absolutely hate how little Allen & Mobley are involved offensively.
I know the DG/Mitchell pairing is to priority, but lets not abandon the bigs.
Why is Mobley making that type of pass to Lopez?
Too much turnovers.. forcing things for no reason.. like why is Stevens dribbling on the break.
Collins and Griffin are 5 for 8 from 3
Murray/Young are 2 for 8 from 3
Young and Murray have 3 TOs each
Cavs have 11 TOs, Hawks have 7
Seems like our turnovers are killing us more.. cause it seems more unforced..
Would love to see the unforced turnovers.
DONOVAN BIG TIME SHOT!
Mobley late, gotta close better.
Mobley stops the bleeding.
oh shit, MObley talking trash I love it!!!
Collins: he hit me on the spin
That’s two flops for Collins, one no call, one defensive fouls. Nice job on him, refs. Now do Trae.
Tovs. ATL really good at taking advantage of every tov, especially in transition. Killing us.
Is 2 points in 5 minutes good?
We are way too sloppy.
Hawks by 15.
ATL 18 points off turnovers off of Cavs 10 turnovers .. basically scoring each time we turn over the ball.
Tovs.
