Live Thread: Cavs @ Spurs
2022-12-12Good evening, Cavs the Bloggers! The wine and gold travel to San Antonio tonight to take on the Spurs! First the good news, Donovan Mitchell is starting, and Kevin Love looks like a go! For the Spurs it looks like Keldon Johnson who was questionable with a stomach bug is available. The bad news? He’ll be able to get the Cavs sick, and Diakite is on assignment with the Charge.

A mostly healthy Cavs squad should dominate, but watch out for Johnson and Co. The Spurs post the worst defense in the association and are 25th in offense, as they’re tanking hard for Wembanyama. Don’t wanna put the jinx on here, but Cleveland should win handily. Should be a fun one! Go Cavs!
Mitchell sick.
Tre Jones killin’ us. Put Okiro back in to cool him.
Garland with his hand in the cookie jar
Richardson just throwing in slop after slop
Some redemption for DG. 2 possession game.
CMON DG YOU OWE THE TEAM
This game is drunk.
Lev3rt!!!!
Feed LeVert!
Can’t wait until the 4th to start playing hard
Garland has to be benched with any effort like this if coach wants the team to care about what he has to say. He has destroyed every one of our runs
… They’re gonna run out of gas.
#FireJB
DG back to back turnovers
DG pissing away this game and he’s gonna get 40 minutes from JB while Cedi gets 7 minutes lMFAO JB is a fucking joke
Bench Garland! He’s trash tonight!
Is steal, steal, block on 3 straight pissessions good D?
Two straight turnovers for Garland!
Ice bringing us back, DG still screwing up.
Get Garland off the floor. Cripes.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING GARLAND ALLEN IS WIDE OPEN
Get Garland out of there!
The Cavs need better media to ask the tough questions like “why don’t you play Neto?”
Within 7. Plenty of time.
As a PG, DG needs to recognize when his shot is not falling and facillitate. He does not have to go completely passive, but the fact that he has taken the most shots tonight is an indictment of his PG acumen.
FFS, shoot less and get more shots for Mitchell, Mobley, & Allen.
Alright I’m back. I’m leaving again though if the Spurs take another 15 point lead.
CARIS HATERS WEEP
Ice been very active on D, his defender still guarding him with 1 foot in the paint though
Caris carrying the water
LeVert the best Cav tonight and it’s not close.
Where is Cedi? Why is Garland playing?
You’ve gotta be in JB’s trust bubble or else
Good hustle at least.
It’s a GD miracle they’re only down 14.
Doubt Cavs get it much closer…honestly…
Cavs can for sure still win this game with a hot 4th…but that would probably also require some kinder officiating for us on offense
Down by 18 and it’s not that close.
Get ‘em out JB, fold it and get back to the drawing board.
Yes. Sit the starters the rest of the way.
This games over. I’m out!
Richardson auditioning too. Mobley has gotten worse guarding shooters.
Just comes out tentatively and then shoot right over him every time
Lol. Kev bails em out after Garland Sextons for a whole possession.
nice pass Caris, why isn’t he playing 40 minutes
The same shit in the second half. Where’s Neto?
Lack of trust…although he probably would be better than DG tonight…
We need a new coach!
Imagine if Cavs could trade coaches with Spurs…
Spurs getting what ever they want.. we are only down 15 but it seems like so much more cause we arent getting stops.. and on que.. a 3 after good ball movement..
And we had cut it down to 10 earleir on..
Must be amazing to have a team that actually does a lot of off ball cutting…
Where’s Cedi?
good question, JB buried him on the bench for no fucking reason
Stevens giving the Cavs absolutely nothing tonight. He literally has only 1 rebound in 18 minutes and nothing else.
He’s been freaking terrible…he’s not alone, but just awful…
Yeah they were taking Stevens’ candy, lunch money and shoes from him on the boards . . .
I just need to stop watching away games until Cavs get their ish together.. or only 4th quarters..
Like what kind of pass was that DG ?.. like come on
Garland awful 4 guys in the paint.
16 offensive rebounds for the Spurs
in 2 1/2 quarters
Stevens giving the Cavs absolutely nothing tonight.
The lack of fundamentals on this team is astounding. Five shots go up and no one gets their body into the other team?
Good d tricky finish. Mitchell.
Cavs absolutely deserve to lose due to getting punked on the boards alone…
GET A DAMN REBOUND WAKE UP JB
PUT IN LOVE JB
GET A REBOUND
Good lord how many offensive rebounds does this team get?
… and mobley takes the first available shot. It looks terrible.
Cavs not running around like chickens with their heads cut off the first couple possessions: actually trying to out-execute the Spurs. Pop calls an immediate timeout.
Lol now that is a rage timeout!
Mitchell pitched a complete o-fer in 13 first half minutes.
Zero stats.
JB should bench Garland for Caris to start this half.

“Now” can Neto at least break a sweat in the 2d half? At least let Darius clear his head for a minute.
Let’s see if JB can make an adjustment going into the 3rd
It feels like the Spurs made more than 4 3’s in the first half.
DG 3/14
One team is making decisions based on a discernible plan: force the other to overcommit inside and feast on missed layups and kickouts.
One team has no plan.
There should be some sort of employee position that only has to focus on developing a plan and holding the team accountable to execute it. Some sort of…guide?
“Don’t wanna put the jinx on here, but Cleveland should win handily.”
Yep, blaming Nate
Lol its clear how Nate feels about the upcoming draft
Nate forgot the Cavs are unable to play a non dogshit road game. Opponent is immaterial.
LeVert the only player not in the negative with a 0 +/-
