Live Thread: Cavs @ Suns
2023-01-08Good evening CtB!
The Cavs are in the Valley of the Sun to take on the hospital Phoenix Suns in what is probably a must-win game given how many key Suns are out of the game. Chris Paul, Devin Booker, and former Cav Cam Payne will all be out tonight, which represents nearly all of the Suns’ on ball creation on offense. The Cavs should be able to impose their will on defense, and gets some easy offense created out of their defense.
Tip off is scheduled for 8:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, Go Cavs!
INJURY REPORTS:
#Cavs Darius Garland WILL PLAY tonight against Phoenix, sources tell @clevelanddotcom. Also, team will be sticking with Isaac Okoro as the starting small forward, sources say.

The Suns have, indeed, ruled out Chris Paul for tonight’s game against #Cavs.

Caris +22 in 24 minutes, Neto +15 in 7 minutes… bench saved this game.
Mann wanted that alley oop for Mobley.
Stevens block!
MOBLEY J IT’S A CAVALANCHE
CAVALANCHE!
Stevens getting in on it.
DG TO STEVENS LETS GOOO
😂😂😂
Lmaoooo 😂
Great start to the 4th with some great defense and 3’s… glad Mobley didn’t force that shot..
Look at that defensive intensity yo start the 4th!
my question: is garland incapable of playing defense like neto; or does he just not have the want-to?
It is easier to do when you know you are only gonna play 10-15 min.
When you play 36 AND have to carry the O for most of it, it is harder.
100%. DG has to put his energy elsewhere
NETO DOMINANT
CARIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CARIS HATERS IN PISS AND SHIT
Lol you are the biggest Caris Stan in the world and I love it
He’s this year’s Lauri, rorschach test for ball knowers or non-knowers as it were LMFAOOO
Show game. He’s tradeable for Hardaway Jr.
GET THAT WEAK STUFF OUTTA HERE
😂😂😂
Agree I do not think THJ is better or even a better fit
Weird. It’s almost as if Neto should get minutes regularly.
N3to!!! L3v3rt!!!
FREE NETO
Le3ert!
LET CARIS COOK!!!!!! NETO FOR THREE!!!!!
Neat-0 3 & Mibes erases Washington. That was satisfying. .
Lama cooked by landale
😂😂
The Lama is +6.
NETO!!
Neto playing well here just pisses me off.
JB pissed away the whole 2nd quarter trying to cut corners.
THEYRE NOT GUARDING STEVENS PASS IT TO HIM OR GET HIM OUT JB JESUS CHRIST YOU SUCK
Cavs going to turn it on in the fourth and bring it home.
GREAT DEFENSE NETO
NETO STEAL, DG FOR THREE LETS GOOOOO
Washington is torching the Cavs guards
Who hasn’t lately ?
Well, it is the most obvious gamble of rolling with two small, defensively challenged guards as your main guys.
Welp this one doesn’t feel great
LET CARIS COOK
We need “ let caris cook T-shirts”
STRAIGHT CASH HOMEY $$$$$$$$$$$
why is kevin love getting mkinutes. put in cedi ffs
They don’t play the same position.
GREAT DEFENSE NETO CREATED A TURNOVER
Neto in to pester Washington
Love is useless when he is 0-5 from 3
If he can hit some timely 3’s in the 4th that would be a huge help.
He is just clank city tonight but I agree gotta let ‘em fly!
disagree +6 and his shooting gravity opens the paint up.
should’ve been playing more.
Gravity does help but still seems like he is missing a lot of open 3s lately
off night shooting for sure.
THANK YOU JB, PUT HIM ON THE BALL ON DEFENSE
Neto finally gets into the game..
Lama. Stevens. Is. Terrible.
8-0 with 2 more 3s.. just gets tired seeing the same thing over and over…
JB’s rotation just dumb tonight. What are we doing? No Cedi? No Neto?
Good TO. We are getting sloppy.
Maybe it would be good to take an L here. Im not sure whats wrong with us but Im not inspired
JB GET OFF YOUR ASS AND PUT NETO IN BOZO
Ask and ye shall receive.
Washington isn’t passing. How do u not send two guys at him?
Ball stagnant on O, or just getting fired up from the perimeter
WHERE THE HELL IS CEDI??????
Is it me, or do we suck the last 3 minutes of every quarter?
Maybe try laying out Washington. Cuz he’s torching us!
Put CP3 in!
Cavs losing guys on D again.
GET THE BALL TO LOVE HE WAS WIDE OPEN
SPIDA
Caris with a great two way play.
Mitchell takeover
CARIS HUSTLE
TWO WAY CARIS
LeVert giveth & taketh.
Steady diet of long twos…
Cavs getting out ref’d
Stevens seeing some minutes
Stevens in. 9th man.
Okoro got clobbered
I’m not sure where the foul was
Okoro fouled and no call!
He gets no respect on either end.
3 on DM. Gotta watch it.
Shitty refs!
How is that a foul on Mitchell?
Okoro is looking like a starting NBA player tonight. Keeping them in the game.
After starting 5-5, DG has missed 7 in a row.
Ic3!!!
JB “hey Isaac, grab the fucking ball”. Lol yep
Okoro 🤦♂️
I don’t know how we can be #1/#2 in defense while giving up so many 3s to opponents.
And another open 3…
Trick or treat Okoro!
Sidney Lowe on top of it, ball stopped moving, Mitchell turnover machine.
Out west Utah is still a respectable 20-23, and Lauri is still cooking (49 not too long ago). But they have slipped to 12th as Minny (3) and LA (5) are on winning streaks.
