Live Thread: Bulls @ Cavs
2023-02-11Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome the Chicago Bulls to the shores of Lake Erie for a classic Central Division showdown. The Cavs are attempting to extend their win streak to six games, second best in the Association to the Milwaukee Bucks. To do so, they will have to beat a perfectly mediocre Bulls team wallowing at the bottom of the play-in standings. The bigger question for the Cavs is how dead are those legs after last night in New Orleans? Also, does J.B. Bickerstaff decide to go eight-deep or will Raul Neto, Lamar Stevens, or dare I say Kevin Love make an appearance? #FREENETO #FREELOVE
Interestingly, the stats on the Bulls tell a different story than what one might think about this current version of the Bulls. In spite of the “offense-only” guys such as DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine grabbing the headlines for the Bulls, they are actually winning with a top 10 defense and a bottom 10 offense. They don’t move the ball that well and they don’t crash the glass. It’ll be interesting to see how the Cavs cover DDR and Zach, do they just stay home and make them shoot or do they flash a double and force a pass?
Tip off is scheduled for 8:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, Go Cavs!
Evan with a tough shot.
Mobley killer
Hot dang. 20-4 fourth so far?
Good TO. Get JA back in.
13-2 run.. and 20-4 scoring for the Cavs this quarter.
Caris putting on the big boy pants and scrapping
WTH just happened. I was thinking, they’re going to be spent in this fourth quarter and it’s probably a loss.
Turned it on in the 4th…not over yet, though…
LEVERT HUSTLE
DG is a killer…
OMFG
CLUTCH DG3
DG DAGGER
Up 11. CAVALANCHE 20-4 this quarter.
7/12 from the field this quarter for the Cavs.
DG Dagger!!!!
AC says I have a question for you Brad. Then proceeds to make a statement 😂
Mitchell should have pulled up..
THIS IS HOW. CONTENDERS PLAY
Dosunmu plays out of control
Defense top notch !
5 forced turnovers this quarter.
SPIDA POCKET PASS!!!!!
MOBLEY THROWS THE HAMMER DOWN!
MOBLEY PASSING >>>>>>>>>>>>
Caris now make your free throws
Atleast he made 1
Mobley is becoming a better passer
Almost an and 1 by Darius
Beautiful basketball
This is the “No Trades Made” series.
None needed streak
What a pass by Evan !
Grind this one out and rest the double D’s on Monday against SA
Gonna be a grind but they can do it.
This is going down to the wire
Dan G should retroactively fire Koby for the the way Drummond is playing tonight
My stream dies when they take the lead,,,argh!!!
Hope it’s back up.
JA beasting on the boards & we cannot take advantage.
It was a forced pass in my opinion that lead to that turnover.
RICKY with the magic act.
Rubio is +14 and hasn’t scored.
I was literally going to type this now…
Levert + 9 and JA + 6.
7-0 start to the 4th… come on !!! Keep that energy !
RICKY RUBIO WITH THE SAUCE
Bang !!!! Let’s Go !!!!
Along came a Spida!
My Drummond PTSD is flaring up
Hahaha
LMFAO
Rubio behind the back to DM for a three. Cavs lead!!!
The bulls buttholes are tightening
Chance to take the lead…..dang.
Let’s go Cavs !!!!
Drummond 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Only down 1
20-9 run by Cavs.
Going small around JA.
Only Cedi has made the only field goal from the bench.. bench does have 8 assist
This is where having Mitchell is great. Going into the 4th of a close game I have a lot of confidence.
Last year post-Rubio we always lost these games
Manageable game.
Good D keeping us in it. Down 5.
Gritty not pretty. Let’s get the win.
LETS WIN THIS!
Wow terrible foul by Caruso
I don’t know if it’s coaching, but teams are generally not smart about b2b. The three point shot is what goes first when your legs are tired. We have the type of team that can work inside. Taking 28 threes on less than 22 hours rest isn’t smart.
They’re also missing some bunnies at the rim.
Eh they’re all open. You have to take what the defense gives.
It amazes me after both Evan and JA had 20-10 double doubles last night.. feed your local big man !
Bulls know this. That’s why the leave em open.
We’re still in this…
Incredibly…
DG lucky he made it.
Ricky for the steal!
Drummond gonna Drumm…
Drummond 😂😂😂
That’s a weak ass call
Ball don’t lie
Come on Cavs.. get some easy looks in the paint..
Bench 0-8 from 3. If we can just get a few to fall we’re right there.
SAINT RICKY
LETS GOOOOO MAKE A RUN
Amazing hustle, Ricky…
Love the hustle.. we need to score on the next possession to build momentum.
Spida may have to take us home tonight.
Within 6.
