Live Thread: Cavs @ Hornets
2021-11-01Good evening CtB!
The Cavs are back on the East Coast to finish their brutal road trip, taking on Lamelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets. On balance, the Cavs’ road trip has been an unqualified success, collecting major skins defeating the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers. With a victory tonight, the Cavs will secure a winning record on the road trip, something that simply could not have been expected.
Unfortunately for the Cavs, Kevin Love has entered the health and safety protocols and will miss “several games” according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. Also, it’s safe to assume Isaac “Ice” Okoro will also miss the game due to his hamstring injury. Will J.B. finally unleash Dean Wade and Dylan Windler? Hope springs eternal!
Tip off is scheduled around 7:00pm ET, and broadcasted on Bally’s Sports Ohio and Bally’s Sports Great Lakes. GO CAVS!
Recap posted!
Allan is quite the seesaw. A couple great games, a few mediocre, a few way lame. If he can up the good game percentage, and lower the way lame percentage, …
that’s the dream!
He hasn’t had many lame this season. Mostly the Suns game when he looked gassed, frankly. He’s been their best player.
I missed this one. Glad we won. 7 footers leading the way. Weird line for Rubio.
Hopefully ICE gets back soon. Wade gonna get some burn with Love in protocols.
bulls absolutely steamrolling the celtics in q4.. 30 – 9.. give that a CLF.. tatum and brown with 48.. BOS has problems.. getting bombed out at home
good — definitely hate the Celts more than the Bulls

Advanced stats back this up – I don’t know the nitty gritty but his WS/48 this year is 0.03 vs 0.08 last year (and 0.057 in 2019-2020). Pretty drastic step down
I will say the deep three he canned on the broken possession and a couple nice drives stopped the bleeding in the third.
As I have commented before, his days here are numbered. I’m rooting for the kid, but I don’t think it’s gonna happen for him here.
the Cavs are .500 again and one game behind Charlotte in the Eastern Conference standings
Ahead of the Bucks and Celts!
the fans in Charlotte started pretty sedate but by the end of the game this seemed by far the most “hostile environment” the Cavs have faced this year (unless I am missing something), not the worst thing to bend but not break (and finally they built themselves enough of a cushion to withstand the runs); great to come out of this game with a win
yeah, that crowd was amped at the end!!!
3-2 Road trip????????? 3 wins against playoff/play-in teams?????
For real. For all our crying, that’s a big win all and all.
LMFAOOOO THATS RIGHT!
got that right. this hangout goes cryfest a lot.
Yes!!!!!!
All things considered, great road trip. That Suns game just left an unpleasant chalky undertaste.
indeed, tonight showed some growth!
I thought DG was smart running it out. There was a defender behind him, if the layup gets blocked, everyone says, “DG WTF????”
yup, 100% there was no shot clock he made the right play other than keeping his dribble alive.
Yeah, i don’t regret my wtf, but I get it. Decent chance he gets blocked there.
Fun game!
heck yes, and 3-2 on the ultimate road trip!
Lol
Terry
Chicks dig the long ball I guess
He’s always been a dumb player, that was typical.
And he made a bonehead play there not taking the layup,

LMFAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YES!!!
if they hold on.. nice win.. looks like as goes allen (and mobley) so goes the cavs
Rubio +22 in 25 minutes, WTF JB?????
garland was hyped when drafted as a sharp shooter.. 1-6 on 3s tonight.. not a bust, but not a high-level pro.. sad.. at least he can make some free throws
wtf DG
Good to
Finally Rozier misses… sheesh
SEXTON JUST RUINED THAT POSSESSION WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT SHOOT THE BALLL!!!!!!!
Sexton had an open shot… dribbles in to the paint and gets blocked
That’s his game…
God damnit Sexton passes up a wide open 3
This crowd has the gall to boo these refs…
WOW WHAT A PASS DG!!!!!
Free throws win games Lauri
Cavs missed 10 tonight
They need to go back and apologize to their middle school coaches.
Rubio pretty bad since re entering
These refs are bought and paid for…
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT???????????? THAT WASNT A FOUL CHALLENGE THAT!!!!!!
Gotta save the challenge for next week srry
LMFAOOOO

Be thankful the Warriors didn’t take Ball in the draft. That would have been beyond obnoxious.
Be nice to get an actual shot up…
WTF was JB doing????
Good lord
Cavs might put up 20 stocks tonight… that’s some lockdown defense!
Anyone else think we need to expand the rotation to 10? it’s a long season to be playing just 8 dudes every game…
100% It’s ridiculous
We’ve been lamenting it for days now….
Good to know I’m not crazy…I feel like we got some bodies that could eat up 10 or so minutes like windler…maybe when Okoro gets back …
would be nice to see Okoro back in the rotation. zero Stevens in this game
Great post up lauri
Lauri!
How the f is that not being reviewed for a flagrant!?
When Sexton got mauled ?
Yes
Yeah that was bad
Yes…clear wind up…
It was a clear flagrant.
Aggressors getting the calls
Lol. Sexton
Lauri!
Sexton, just stop…
Red hot turkish wings!
C3DI!!
