Live Thread: Kings @ Cavs
2022-12-09Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome NBA Champion Matthew Dellavedova and the Sacramento Kings to the shores of Lake Erie, hoping to avenge a 120-127 loss during their west coast tour. Coach Mike Brown has his guys playing some fantastic ball, so the Cavs will have their work cut out for them if they want to earn that W. Both teams will be without their premier perimeter player as De’Aaron Fox and Donovan Mitchell will sit this one out with injuries. Rumors are Caris LeVert will be starting in his place. Kevin Love and Terence Davis will both also be out with injury/sickness, so both teams are dealing with issues.
This matchup features the best defense in the NBA (Cavs) against a top 5 offense (Kings). This is also a matchup about who can control the pace of the game, with the Cavs being the slowest paced team in the NBA versus a top 6 fastest pace team in the Kings. “Styles make fights” so it should be a great test for the Cavs regarding how to impose their will onto the opponent.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:30PM and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, GO CAVS!
HOLY SHIT CARIS CLOWNING ON THE HATERS
Damn LeVert with the spin bucket!
Wtf was that?
Love to see a guy holding his nose after getting popped driving the lane.We need more of that.
Huerter is Hurt!
his reaction was not good,
Was waiting all game to drop a “please Kevin, don’t Huert em” joke. Hope he’s ok.
4 on JA.
RoLo?
Is Mama day not an option?
I don’t know how players jump that high and fall on their back after a lay in…
HOW THE HELL DID CARIS FINISH THAT
CARIS CLAMPS
LeVert with some great D
THEY GOT SOME JUICE LETS GOOOOOOOO
Dougherty is fun to listen to. He’s breaking out the blender statement a few times.
Darius dealing!
Nice stretch there for the Cavs
DG TO STEVENS WHAT A PASS AND FINISH!!!!
Fantastic dish, Caris.
Stevens playing well!
Nice drive and dump LeVert to Mobley
Fair call on Allen after the Murray foul.
Cavs special TO out of a TO, but a 6-0 run to take the lead anyway!
CARIS TO STEVENS!!!!
Stephens grabbing a lot of rebounds!
LEVERT!!!! AND ONE!
LeVert needs more drives to the rim like that!
Is DM out basically maintenance to deal w back to back games?
only 10 assists and losing the rebounding battle…. Cavs need to find more energy. Where’s Diakite???
Looks like we are up 32-30 on the glass to me, Chris. 6-4 offensive.
One of us is off and it could be me.
Kings have scored on 6 of 7 possessions out of halftime. Good TO.
Ouch! Garland needs extra rest to finish this one. Can delly play for us when he isnt in for them??
Garland off the ball has been great.
DG BLOW BY AND 1!!!!
AND1
Cavs cannot afford more than one possession in a row with zero points. Theyre not likely to hold the kings to under 105
LeVert cut!
WHAT A PASS MOBLEY! GREAT PLAY CARIS!
DG EASY MONEY
Cavs in the first half.
Nice job Caris feeding the big man
Good 2nd quarter fightback.
More shots for Allen, please. I realize there is not tons of space but….he should be option #2 tonight, #3 at worst.
Delly looking like a solid rotation guy. Without looking at stats/games, I figured he was an emergency/game out of hand player.
This cheerleading by Brad is way beyond AC. And tiresome.
I dread the thought that they’re setting him up to eventually take over full time.
Lol why did the delly photo change?
I thought it was making the page load slow? But it may be my phone.
Need to flip the script.
Cavs flipped the script in the 2nd Q
CAVS BALL!
Let’s go for a DG 3 here!
JB is saving his challenges for 2OT
That looked like an offensive foul
Honestly lesser shots to chins have ended boxing matches
Cedi for the tie!
Dom living at the line
LeVerting to form. Then a ja hook!
Cedi having a huge impact this half.
Attaway Caris.
This line up needs to play more
Like in stints when Mitchell returns. That way it gives LeVert a chance to dominate the ball and gives Neto some minutes.
I concur Arch
Co-sign
LeVert 3!
Nice work by Cedi!
Woof Allen
Foul trouble gonna be a problem
Caris hit a 2!!!
Stevens and LeVert playing hard but can’t hit anything.
Caris immediately steps up with a little flip in the lane, though. Come alive, man!
Woof Stevens.
Like the ball movement
Cavalanches only work if you can play defense and clean the defensive boards. Need team rebounding. Sabonis is a load
Monster offensive rebound JA
CAVALANCHE LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO
DG showing the magic tricks…
Now we got something going!
Yes Garland!
Wow. Curry-esque by dg.
DG BRING US BACK KING!!!
That’s what we need! Cook Garland Cook! – Walter White
Darius heating up!
DG making circus shots ok lets GOOOOOO
Lol. Metu smelling himself.
