Live Thread: Kings @ Cavs
2024-02-05Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome the Sacramento Kings to the shores of Lake Erie for a major cross-conference battle between two of the best teams in the NBA. The Kings and Cavs are trying to stay locked into playoff positions and improve their seeding in their respective conferences. For the Cavs it would be a solid home win, for the Kings a confidence boosting road win against the hottest team in the Association. Note to Adam Silver: this should be the nationally televised game!
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio, Go Cavs!
Donovan!!! Smh
OMG Donovan. What a play.
Spida out there on the playground
Donny went Kobe!
DG & Mobes out at 28 min.
Inching up towards 30.
Is JA’s double double streak still going?
Nah. He had 14 & 9 when he twisted his ankle the other night.
I think he had 14 and 10, and the official scorer revised 10 down to 9 post game
Nope
Great D by Jarrett…
Great d all around that possession.
LET CARIS COOK!!!!!!!!!!!!
All around baller!!
Mobley’s passing has been on point tonight
V3RT!!
De ferk!
Cari3 in the Green.
Great ball movement!
JAMES DEAN WADE!!! RAGE TIMEOUT
All 5 starters in double figures.
Caris & Ice have 8. Sam & Dean 6.
Wad3!!! Thank god Niang got subbed out for Deaner
Attaway Deano
Dean Wade HUGE shot!!
Order restored after DGs TO out of the TO.
Wade with a triple!
Lucky Monk missed that…
Put. In. Merrill
Mobes and DG have both played 24 min.
Wonder what the linits are?
26
Down to 10.
A lot of time left.
Shoot that Caris what are you doing there
Put Merrill in.
Good timeout…
JB saw enough of Georges
JB has seen enough Minivan. Wade in.
Woof Niang.
Lol. Ball don’t line.
Mobley always does something astonishing every game. What a reaction.
All those 9/11 3s and they only took a point off the lead
Kings a handful of 911 threes from being down 25 honestly…
We have had some dumb plays at the end of quarters. Shooting too early so as not getting the last shot & then bad ensuing D.
But overall a great game so far.
it is mighty hard timing the last shot — if you are too cute you often wind up not getting off a shot.
Damn. Great play Mobley. Smart play monk.
Mobley devoured that ball…
Tres Lyles it is not your night.
Sabonis is like a wrecking ball in there…
Man. Wade doesn’t get to play long.
Kings move the ball so well.
101 points and there’s still nearly four mins left in the third 😳
I’m saying it. This team could break the team wins record.
Bold…
Technically impossible.
I think they have to win out to tie it. Isn’t it 66?
You’re right. I thought it was lower.
right, but still, this could be a historic regular season finish. and that is the time you want to be hot!
JA rebound watch: 5
Shoot the frulickrn ball, Isaac.
Attaway Max.
Max thievery!!!
Baited him
The Kings are like Dori from the Nemo movies:
Just keep scoring. Just keep scoring.
If you cool off for a second, they go on an 8-0 run.
Fox amazing this quarter. Contested 3 over DG and Allen
I love Point Mobley…
Spida slam!
Fell for it…
,🍌
Nice oob play for fox
Sabonis has a trip dub already.
Great night for Strus. Some good D, 5 triples. A welcome sight.
Even though we are winning, it is a Kings kind of game.
Great hustle Max!
Spida and Strus!
Jeez… couldn’t play better D and Barnes hits the 911 triple…
Lakers also scored 74 in first half… course that’s against the Hornets…
It will never not be weird to see a Mike Brown team eschewing defense for long distance gunning…
JB showing a modicum of trust in his personnel… at least against a team that runs and guns like the Kings…
Us winning while playing the Kings style is incredible
Probably the best half we’ve played all season. Kings making some great shots but we’ve been extremely disciplined on defense. Also love how Evan is attacking when he has an advantage and DG is making the whole offense hum.
I mean they probably don’t finish the game at 59% from three but that was light out shooting…
But why not try!? :)
Fair!
Bummer that Spida left enough time for Fox to score, but a fantastic half. Up 15.
Hell of a half.
That was a fun half!
DONOVAN MITCHELL MVP
🧊🧊
GREAT DEFENSE JA, DON’T LET SABONER GO LEFT!!!!
Sabonis so strong. Great D.
JA fouled Sabonis’s elbow with his rib cage…
For real
I wouldn’t hate Barnes on this team…
Doubt the Cavs make a trade. Maybe a buyout guy after the deadline.
In a vacuum? Me neither.
Unless they’ll settle for Niang and a 2nd, I doubt it happens. That trade likely violates the salary rules, I’d expect.
I would not want to throw in Okoro or Wade to make it work. Or do LeVert or Strus straight up.
Yeah likely it would…
Barnes is like Hield, never hits when it matters. Mr First Quarter
JB running a 10 man rotation?!? Did we slip through the multiverse here?
JB discovers the NBA regular season LMFAOOO
I think he’s hit on the formula for the regular season. DM/JA lead one offense, DG/EM lead the other. Plenty of talented role players. Everyone is young, so no concerns about getting tired. 100% effort from everyone. Difficult for opposing teams.
Just gotta then manage egos if ppg etc go down
I think this might be a way to manage egos. Instead of DM and DG having to take turns running the offense, they don’t have to share. Not sure it would work in the playoffs.
