Live Thread: Clippers @ Cavs

Good evening CtB!

The Cavs welcome the Los Angeles Clippers to the shores of Lake Erie for massive out of conference showdown between two of the hottest teams in the Association. The Clippers have taken off since acquiring James “Golden Turd” Harden, while the Cavs have thrived in spite of injuries to two of their young stars Darius Garland and Evan Mobley. Rumor has it that Evan Mobley will be back tonight, which is a welcome sight given the Tristan Thompson suspension. According to Coach JB Bickerstaff, DG’s return is imminent as well. It is now that we’ll find out if Coach Bickerstaff has learned anything by giving minutes to older role players such as Sam Merrill, Craig Porter, Jr., and Dean Wade, who’ve all made massive contributions to winning basketball over the recent 20 game stretch. Or will it be “business as usual” with Georges Niang, Isaac Okoro, and Caris LeVert, all of whom have been the weakest links so far this season yet also receiving the benefit of the doubt from JB. The margins are what differentiates the pedestrian coaches from the great ones, let’s see if JB has it in him.

Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio, Go Cavs!
