Live Thread: Rockets @ Cavs
2023-12-18Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome the Houston Rockets to the shores of Lake Erie for a low-key big time non-conference battle. Rockets made some shrewd free agent pick ups and are surprisingly above .500 past the quarter pole of the season. Beating the Cavs on the road would be validation for Coach Ime Udoka and the Rockets. For the Cavs, it’s a chance to grind out a decent win as they continue to head toward the soft part of their schedule. This game is the perfect launchpad for expanding the Donovan Mitchell MVP Agenda, so #staytuned…
Checking the numbers for the first time in awhile, it’s nice to see improvements from Craig Porter Jr., and Sam Merrill from the beginning of the season until now. Their recent positive play has led to some exciting stretches especially when either are paired with Dean Wade. There is now plenty of opportunity for “James” Dean Wade and CPJ to really take off with the injuries to Evan Mobley and Darius Garland to earn themselves starting minutes type of load.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM Eastern time and will broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio, Go Cavs!
Allen stuffed Green!
Wow Mitchell
SAM MERRILL CLEARS
YES MERRILL!!!!
SAM MERRILL THANK YOU FOR SAVING US FROM NIANG
and the worst thing about Niang is he keeps showing up near the top of the +/-. how annoying!
Goon hunting!
THEY ARE RESTING SENGUN ON OKORO
THEY ARE NOT BOTHERING TO GUARD OKORO
Hunting Sengun.
Maximum effort! Nice block.
Nice play, actually.
How do u not have Wade on the floor there?
Wade having a great night, can’t let him get too cocky!
Overtime
Not sure I love LeVert jacking that 3. He’s 1 for 6 tonight, from 3.
Wide open. U gotta let it fly. Can’t get tight.
That should’ve been an 8 second violation. God these refs suck.
And that’s the problem with not having Wade on the floor.
I will say. The rockets play smart
they finally run their offense thru sengun instead of make a wish offense for jalen green.
GET OKORO OFF THE FLOOR HE CANT DO ANYTHING JB ARE YOU BLIND?????????????????
NO DEFENSIVE ROTATION AND YOU GIVE A DUNK
GET OKORO OFF THE FUCKING FLOOR
JFC Okoro. You screened your own guy.
WHY DO WE HAVE TO PLAY 4 ON 5 ON OFFENSE CONSTANTLY

Eh. It was good D. Van vleet made a really good shot.
