Live Thread: Cavs vs Thunder
2023-10-27The Cavs home opener sees The Oklahoma City Thunder traveling to autumnal Ohio on a Friday night to take on a Cavs team missing Jarrett Allen and Dean Wade. Meanwhile, Darius Garland is according to coach B., “very questionable.” for OKC, Kenrich and Jaylin Williams (no relation) are OUT. The Thunder whooped the Bulls, Wednesday 124-104, with seven guys in double figures led by SGA’s 31. Rebounds will be key, and the Cavs will have to have a better offensive game from Evan Mobley. Should be a fun one!
Welp shoot 26% from 3, might lose
Thought Jones was a ton better tonight. Lots of good stuff
Too early for ex-Cavs +/-? Love the only Heat player positive with a +13; Cedi with a +9 for San Antonio.
Koby was drunk when he made those moves
Wonder if Mitchell gets load managed tomorrow and DG plays
Why didn’t Garland play tonight?
Hamstring, I believe…
Lu Dort going bananas was weird
That’s a bummer. Liked a lot of stuff. Really excited by Okoro and Strus and defense looks pretty strong.
A little bit of a brain fart at the end guarding the line
Hopefully there’s something the team will learn from that
Missing Garland and Allen. Still should have won, though.
What a melt down
That one hurts
Man I hate to see that loss.
Cavs can blame themselves for this one. A 10 point lead late, you need to hold that. But the refs were also mostly trash. So tired of Okoro having a completely garbage whistle.
They blew it defending the 3-pt line late. That to me is coaching.
That was fatigue imo
They are thin right now. Bench minutes about the same, but OKC used two more players.
And in conclusion the Cavs were screwed by the refs
They had a 10 point lead with 2 minutes left.
Both things are true
The opposite of Wednesday. They snatched the loss from the jaws of victory.
yup
Seems JB agrees with you.
Niang will save the day 🥺
Choke job.
We let them get 3s instead of 2s to get back in it quickly. Once we were up 9, if you make them go by 2, its over.
A play for Strus out of TO was weird.
Yeah that Strus play was pretty dumb
Get the bleach out Cavs cuz y’all really shit the bed.
Ugh
Well crap
Need a bucket and a stop
Leaving the line again. Dumb D.
Holy shit what a joke
2nd half Stronk!!!
I don’t trust this challenge with these clown refs
Nice aggression from Evan there.
Though why 2 went with Dort leaving SGA on the previous possession mystifies me.
Can someone teach JB how to challenge?
MOBLEY STEPPING UP LETS GOOOOOOOOO
Wow Mobley!
Attaway Mobes!
MVP MVP MVP MVP
SPIDA!!!!!! Is the man!
GREAT TWO MAN SPIDA PURE
Even that call against SGA was lame
Mobes strong on the boards tonight…
2nd half for sure, he was getting bodied by chet in the 1st half
“bodied by Chet” first time that’s ever been said 😂
sadly yes LMFAOOOO
Has Spida played the whole 2nd half?
LET CARIS COOOOOOOOOOOOOOK
LCC….
WADE CLAMPS
Cari3!
JAMES DEAN WADE CATCHING BODIES
Wade got fouled and no call. F these clown town refs!
Jesus, these refs are brutal. And I rarely complain about refs. This crew is high school level at best.
I’m embarrassed for them.
Maybe shooting every 3 available isn’t a great plan
MITCHELL = HIM
Nice d Caris!
Or not. Shows what I know.
Barf
Well. We’ll take that I suppose.
Dang. Worried that Spida may run out of gas. 2 FT misses Oof.
I was assuming this was a lost cause but after watching this inept officiating I really want to see them pull this out.This is really piss poor work.
SPIDA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> SGA
Dork is allowed to foul at will.
Attaway Mitch
God, these refs are just amateur clowns…
WTF is wrong with these refs?!
WADE WITH THE TIP!!!!!!!!!!!!
DAMMIT! BE READY TO SHOOT WADE
Ball don’t lie!
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING JB
SPIDA SCHOOLING THAT TWINK
Goddammit jb
STRUS!!!
STRUS IS LOOSE
We need a lead while SGA sits.
The Strus is loose!
Is there any point to Niang?
finds the good burger joints
CARRY US HOME SPIDA !!!!!!!
Well, back in it.
The Thunder know where the refs are hiding all those dead bodies.
INVESTIGATE THESE REFS
Dork fouled Niang on that 3 point shot.
TY JEROME CRAFTY!!!
CARIS LEVERT BODYBAGGING THE HATERS
Ice is coming back!
Dork is killing us!
