Live Thread: Cavs @ Hornets
2025-03-07The Cavs venture to the Carolina Piedmont to take on the perennially tanking Charlotte Hornets for a classic Eastern Conference trap game. This is the fourth and final matchup of the season, and the Cavs are looking to secure a season sweep. But Charlotte does like to tussle, and Miles Bridges has been playing the best ball of his career.
The real barometer of the Cavs at this point: do they bring the physicality every night? That will decide whether they’re playing with their food or taking care of business as pros. They’re dangerously flirting in the former territory rather than latter recently. Maybe KA unglues Javonte Green, Jaylon Tyson, and Craig Porter Jr. from the bench to give them some juice. Hopefully it doesn’t even come to that.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Fanduel Sports Network, Go Cavs!
Pistons lose a close one to the Dubs
Bucks lose to Orlando. Cavs will be getting them tomorrow as a back-to-back.
Celtics still own Luka. Horrid 3Q for LA.
Yep I switched over to Det-GS
Looks like the Lakers are back in it
caris with 26 for hawks, who are up 117-116 with seconds remaining.. nice
LET CARIS COOK
NYQUIL PERFORMING WELL 27/7 3/3 FROM 3 —-/ MIDWAY THRU 3rd
EXCITING TIME FOR HIGH SCHOOL BB IN THIS AREA —- ABOUT 5 MILES FROM EACH SCHOOL—- GIRLS SCHOOL WON —- GOING TO STATE FINALS ( MY ALMA MATER ) ——- BOYS SCHOOL GOING TO STATE SEMI FINALS——KNOW THE BOYS COACH VERY WELL
The Knicks scare me more than the Bucks. PTSD from 2 years ago.
I think you meant to reply to my comment. I get your concern but this is a different Knicks team and Giannis is the best player in the East.
agree
With the Brunson injury I could see the Bucks taking the 3 seed. Which would mean we would avoid them in the first 2 rounds and only have to play one of Boston/Milwaukee in the conference finals.
THE JOKER IS WILD!!
The Joker got the first ever 30/20/20 game.
Jokic is the most unique offensive player I have ever seen.
RAOUL —— 1) PROBABLY COMBINATION OF BOTH— POOR OFFICIATING— FANS ARE MORE IMPATIENT. 2) YES THESE GAMES DO GIVE US A PLAYOFF TYPE OF SITUATIONS— JUST DONT DEVELOP BAD HABITS. 3) 70 WINS WOULD BE COOL BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF KEEPING OUR PLAYERS HEALTHY/ RESTED
Cavs need 17 more wins (of 19 games left) to get to 70.
which would be totally cool.
easy thing to keep in mind while looking at upcoming games: no more than 2 losses.
The team record is 66, yes? To break it, we need 14/19.
getting extra “down to the wire” experience is a good thing.
MY SON WHO WAS AT LAST NIGHT s GAME—- ALOT OF FANS COMPLAINING ABOUT ALL THE FOULS CALLED/ REPLAY STOPPAGE / IN GENERAL INEPT OFFICIATING——— GENERAL THEME THIS YEAR
is officiating really any worse than before? or are we in an era where people are gripping more?
More camera angles etc seem to make it easier to see what’s missed.
good point.
The stoppages are ridiculous.If you can’t clearly see evidence to overturn in 20 seconds it’s inconclusive,play on.
not even 20 secs, 5 seconds… if it isn’t blatantly obvious it’s not that important.
ARE // SHOULD THE CAVS FILL LAST SPOT WITH A BACK UP // LEGIT POST——- ARE THERE ANY OUT THERE??
It is pretty slim pickings.
I’d almost rather take the beat G league C. Bamba? A Zeller? Olynyk?
“PAINING “ MYSELF WATCHING THE REPLAY—- 50-50 BALLS WERE PRETTY MUCH NON EXISTENT FOR US = POSSESSION—“ JUICE SQUAD “ MAY HAVE HELPED WITH THIS——HOPING FOR MORE ENERGY VS THE BUCKS and SOME “ GREEN LIGHT “ MINUTES———— ICE NEEDS TO SHED THE “ MUSHROOM DO “ – GET BACK TO THE TIGHT ROLLS
NO JUICE—- THEN PUT THE “ JUICE “ SQUAD IN —- KA DOING HIS JB IMPERSONATION OF NO TRUST IN PLAYERS———BRIDGES/ 46 ——- GIANNIS WiIL GET 60+ ON SUNDAY———— HATE TO BE CRITICAL OF A COACH/ TEAM WITH THEIR RECORD—-LAST NIGHT WAS FRUSTRATING TO WATCH—— BUT WE DID GET AN UGLY WIN
Probably too late in the season for the thunder to catch the bulls net rating record but man are they crushing it lately.
Almost every game against Charlotte since we got Darius is one of the weirdest games we see in a season. This one was just poor
Okoro and Strus were both -14 tonight, Hunter led the way with +17
matched the eye test… basically non one outside of Deandre and Sam showed up tonight.
THANK YOU DONOVAN FOR HOLDING EVERYONE ACCOUNTABLE!
Hopefully himself for the missed FTs. And Chris, while you were howling at Okoro (per usual) for not getting that board late, it looked to me in real time like it was Mitchell that was closest, though I ‘d have to watch it again.
I will retract that. Ice contests and then stands in the corner and watches while his guy gets the board. That is poor. Mitchell had the flyby on Bridges’ triple. That was also poor.
IF YOU KNOW THE JUICE ISN’T THERE, WHY NOT PLAY TYSON AND GREEN KA?????????????????
CLF DOING HIS NOMAD IMPERSONATION…..” MORE BEER 🍺 PLEASE “
ON MY WAY TO A 8 PACK OF GUINNESS NOMAD CHEERS!
YEAH BUCKs WONT ALLOW IT TO GET TO 14
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TERRIBLE DECISION MAKING ON THE COURT MILES BRIDGES, TRY NOT TO BEAT ON ANY WOMEN TONIGHT!!!!!
What an ugly game. We had no business winning. 😂
Spida choked hard at the end, but we escape with a win.
I think the streak ends in Milwaukee. It deserved to end tonight.
We may end up beating the bucks due to them being on a back 2 back unless Orlando puts up zero fight
YOU FROZE DONOVAN
Kill me now God.
STILL DISAPPOINTING NO “ GREEN “ LIGHT—— HAS PROVEN HE CAN PLAY/ FIT IN / BE A SPARK PLUG
Make someone other than Bridges shoot it.
This game is an argument for the elam ending.
agree
WHY THE FUCK IS OKORO ON THE FLOOR WHEN YOU NEED A FUCKING REBOUND???????????????? HE CANT FUCKING REBOUND!!!!!!!!!!!
Because you needed a stop as well.
Game not over.
Allen has 5 steals tonight despite the 4/10 shooting.
Despite the stinker offensively, Mitchell is making the FTs late.
…you had to say that…
Way to jinx it 😂
Weird ,exciting game.
Core4 + Hunter got us back into it.
Up 2 with 20 seconds could be time for Wade & Okoro back in.
Or just bring back Llama!
I’m calling it the lethal lineup.
Opponent dependent for sure. But Core4 + Hunter is excellent. Against some teams either the 2 bigs or the 2 smalls will hurt us.
Then you need Strus, Wade, Okoro, Jerome, Merrill, or Green to step in.
Hunter huge tonight after a couple off games.
Yikes 😂
DEANDRE FUCKING HUNTER LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Clutch
#LETEMKNOW
Rebound the damn ball.
LMFAO. poor Charlotte.
Lucky shot from Evan.. like he shut me up.
Allen!
Mobley! With Bridges draped all over him!
Man,these refs missing them both ways
MOBLEY STEP BACK JACK?????????????? FOR THREEE???????
Oh my god that was freakish
Great d Hunter
Cavs playing with as much enthusiasm as the Phoenix Suns.
God Hunter is a tank
There gonna need to get a stop at some point
16 ASSISTS, DONOVAN MITCHELL HAS 1 ASSIST TONIGHT…. GARBAGE BALL MOVEMENT
Allen being ambidextrous coming in handy.
Cavs have officially entered the “finding out” part of this game.
This game sucks. Might be the worst game of the year.
Garbage from top to bottom, deserve the L
Save Merrill
and Deandre
Yikes,checking in every 20 mins .Looking rough.
Are the Cavs gonna start trying now?
Too much Okoro!
Ok. Chris is right . Wade/Okoro lineups gotta.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WATCHING KA????? STOP WITH THE OKORO AND WADE MAKE A WISH MINUTES
Maybe he’s going on more than 1 game’s worth of data?
Though they have been poor tonight, Wase moreso offensively.
Please get wade and okoro out of this game
Wade couldn’t hit the ocean
Wade has sucked for 3 weeks now
AND OKORO EVEN LONGER
Both guys are out, and the bleeding continues..
Neither played in the 3rd and we sucked then too.
I can feel Chris’s blood pressure rising with this lineup
when Brad Daughtery calls your made 3s “lucky shots” it might be time to re evaluate what youre doing
Sam looking like korver.
La Flama Samka
SAM MERRILL MVP
OKORO’S TURN FOR SOME GARBAGE LAZY DEFENSE
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE STOP BRIDGES WTF
KA “ PUTTING THE BRAKES ON THE “ GREEN “ LIGHT—🤷
Ty got his picket picked like he always does to other people.
