Live Thread: Celtics @ Cavs
2023-03-06Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome the Boston Celtics to the shores of Lake Erie for a major Eastern Conference matchup with both teams desperate to stack wins as the regular season comes to a close. The Celtics lost a double overtime heartbreaker to the New York Knicks, whereas the Cavs are coming off an easy win against the Detroit Pistons. Jayson Tatum, Al Horford, and Robert Williams III will be unavailable, but their roster is probably the deepest in the NBA and can easily pull off the upset road win. The Cavs will have to play their A-game if they want to come away victorious, and especially Tower City for that matter given how they laid an absolute egg last week.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, Go Cavs!
TONY BROTHER GO TO JAIL DO NOT PASS GO
Lol. Phantom foul.
Where was the foul?
Ball don’t lie!
Cavs aren’t going to win a single playoff game with a team effort like this. Pretty disgraceful effort on the boards in particular, and Garland jus has been too passive. (And hasn’t really had the touch tonight)
And the amount of turnovers in the first quarter was ridiculous.
Another offensive rebound leading to 2 points and then a turnover leading to 3 points… from 7 to 12 just like that… after that missed 3 by Mitchell that could have gotten it to 4..
Brutal o board and turnover.
that should be our team song
fml
And there goes the lead back to where it’s been all night
THATS GOOD DEFENSE TONY YOU WOULDNT KNOW THAT IF IT PUNCHED YOU IN THE FACE
Tough guy Smart 😂
Get allen more touches and for goodness sakes dont settle for long twos!
Smart is much a collosal douche.
BIG SHOT CARIS BIG DRIVE CARIS
I can’t believe I’m saying this but more Llama!
Turned it on just in time for a run.
There we go!!! Few stops in a row. Down to 8
First time they showed any energy all night!
Cavs bench: 14 Pts – (13 attempts) (54 minutes)
Boston bench: 43 pts (28 attempts) (66 minutes)
Celtics should be tired. Good chance for a comeback if we limit them to one shot
Llama time! Why not?!
Outside the Rockets head coach, is there a worse coach then JB?
All of the coaches with a worse career record coach tanking teams LMFAOOO
JB didn’t get the memo
Love having a tank commander coach!!!! LMFAOOOOO
This “offense” has gotten Cedi ZERO 3pt shots since he made his first two.
I hope the Celtics doing this to the Cavs in their home gym is a pain that motivates in the future. Heading off to worrk, later all.
Later Simmo
Have a good day at work Simmo!
Cavs have lost every quarter. It’s gonna be a bad week!
If they can’t compete against Boston at home without 3 starters.. how are they going to be competitive against Heat and Charlotte on the 4 game road trip.
Why we can’t get easy shots like that…
You have to have someone design your offense a little…
WHAT ARE YOU DOING JARRETT?????????
Yet another game we were completely unprepared for
After we played them 5 days ago ? Impossible.. and without Tatum and Horford.
BINGO
this hurts watching this. our offense is just so helpless. allen a huge nothingburger tonight. don is again the only cav who needs it
6 offensive rebounds for Celtics this quarter alone.. Cavs have probably 2…
Celtics couldn’t get a rebound last night against the Knicks, but tonight it’s raining rebounds for them. Or it at least seems that way.
They are outrebounding us 36-30.. 9-6 on the Oboards.
Jalen Brown played 45 minutes last night and he’s torching whoever is in front of him.
Another offensive rebound that leads to a second chance point.
So glad JB had a pissing contest with Love over 10-15 minutes a game LMFAO
Big shot from Evan and the block and then the and -1 by Mitchell.. let’s go on a mini run.
I love Allen, but they should look to move him for a starting 3 this summer.
A block?!?! Finally, a block!!!
Fedor thinks JB should get multiple seasons to prove his worth 😂😂😂
THEY DONT GUARD OKORO AND HE CANT MAKE SHIT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING JB???????
Okoro 0-3, from 3 this quarter.
Getting beat off the dribble over and over.
C’s getting their own rebounds doesn’t help.
Celtics continue to get whatever they want
You’ll find more cheer in a graveyard
GET THESE BUMS OFF THE FLOOR
Boston will be tired. Cavs can overhaul them. I stll hate what I’ve see from the Cavs though.
Keep doing that!
What’s the rebound disparity?
I’m rooting for the Pacers tonight against 76ers.. let’s see if they have a better chance to win.
Here comes the 2nd half. Hide your children. Close your eyes.
AT LEAST THE HEAT ARE LOSING TOO
AND NO SIGN OF GREEN ALL HE DID THE LAST GAME WAS SPLASH 2 — 3 S IN A MATTER OF A MINUTE. AGAIN WE LET KLOVE WALK AND HE IS STARTING MEANWHILE GREEN RUSTS AWAY ON THE BENCH. YEP LETS SHOOT FOR THE 7 TH SPOT
DO NOT WANT TO READ TOMORROW S BS COMMENTS FROM THE PLAYERS ABOUT WHAT THEY NEED TO DO JUST FRIGGIN DO IT OR STFU AGAIN SPIDA IS THE ONLY PROFESSIONAL WHO “ WALKS THE TALK “ THE OLD SAYING “ GO BIG OR GO HOME “ GUESS MOST OF THE PLAYERS HAVE CHOSEN THE LATTER 😡😡
WE DONT PLAY CEDI AND WADE ENOUGH, WAKE UP JB THE GAURDS NEED SPACE TO CREATE ITS 2023 THE GAME IS ABOUT A BUCKET
Osman played the whole 2nd quarter.
Do you actually watch the games or just paste the same comments over & over? Seriously dude.
Why are you constantly a douche towards me?
We held them under 70 without Tatum & Horford on a b2b.
Garland & Allen terrible.
I say we should tank for 7th.
We could but no point, no picks. Cavs have already pushed the chips in
We’d get our 1st back if we don’t make the playoffs but obviously it’s a dumb idea.
Sick of your harassment keep it up…
sorry DanK that was for Jason.
Can’t stay in front, help D, kick out 3. Our offense absolutely putrid outside DM
Blow this team up and get a new coach!
Ok, that is an overreaction, but yeah, they got work to do.
We all agree now that the Cavs #1 ranked defense isn’t really correct, right? All teams have to do is shoot 50 3 pointers. The league knows this now, right?
We get smoked by small ball every time…. it’s only good teams that can do it.
We played small almost the whole second quarter. Cedi was at PF. Wade has barely been playing. Allen got 2 fouls early.
We have not been double bigs much. Cs are playing 2 of Griffin, Muscala, & Grant freaking Williams most of the time.
It’s not a matter of playing small ball, it’s the fact we don’t have the players to do it. We don’t have a small forward on this roster that would start for any other NBA team. We have bigs and point guards. No wings. This is a championship team in the 1970s.
We started double bigs and finished with them, try watching the game idiot.
I’d say its well known, yes.
Actually, I think we are down to 3rd.
The Cavs coming into this game were 4th worst in the NBA in opponent corner three point %. No surprise to anyone who watches them every night. They consistently give up very open corner threes.
Man this roster is so flawed
QUIT PLAYING TWO BIGS JB ITS NOT WORKING
Wow looks like Cavs don’t give a crap about D…
YUP!!! Back to spotting the opponent 10 against any good team.
This is awesome transition D /s
Tonight in the rooe of Al Horford, Grant Williams.
They just run the same stuff with different guys. Timelord is the guy who is unique. Everyone but him can shoot. All the other bigs: Horford, G. Williams, Muscala, Hauser, Griffin.
They just spread you out, let Brown, Tatum, White, or Brogdon handle, & hunt threes.
Jarrett Allen with another garbage game, Lauri better.
Different player for sure.
11 3’s for Boston already. And 7 from their bench..
Started 4-10 and now is 7-12… just great..
That is literally not possible.
6/13 in the 1st and then 7/13 in the 2nd.
Oh, I see. Sorry. :)
Stepped away for a bit and I judge by comments that it’s not going so well?
we run like 0 off ball action and its so frustrating
Garland gets his first 3 up with 3 minutes left in the half. That is some good offensive strategy, there.
Mitchell/Garland chucking possessions
honestly fine with it, not gonna win this game trading 2s for 3s.
I can’t believe we were favored for this game.
70% of the public bet on Boston LMFAO
FINALLY PASSING TO CEDI, FINALLY SHOOTING THREES
C3DI!!!
Yes Cedi!!!!
Ice & Cedi making shots now, at least.
