Live Thread: Cavs @ Wizards
2021-12-03Good evening CtB!
Tonight the Cavs are in the nation’s capital in a matchup against one of the most surprising Eastern Conference teams, the Washington Wizards led by Coach of the Year candidate Wes Unseld, Jr. The Cavs will be seeking revenge after the Wizards were able to steal a close one in Cleveland 97-94. Both of these teams are defensive stalwarts, both ranking in the top 10 in the NBA in defensive efficiency. The question will be which team can challenge the rim the best on the offensive end given the strength of both teams’ front courts defensively.
On the injury front, the Cavs will again be missing Cedi “the Jedi” Osman and “James” Dean Wade along with Collin Sexton of course. The Wizards are looking largely healthy, although apparently there’s some question to Deni Avdija’s availability.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM ET and the game will be broadcasted on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, GO CAVS!
Lol. Wearing neto like a cape

cavs playing like a 50 win team.. assuming continued improvement.. this is not going to be a team anyone wants a piece of in the first round..
Garland is scary as hell and mature enough not to launch heat checks
He for real looks like Steph right now…
Man, the Cavs last few games are just steamrolls…
This is turning into a Grizzly v. Thunder type beat down!
was thinking the same thing!!!
this is like…unreal
DG DROPPING BOMBS LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I mean, if they gonna leave him as open as this…
Ice! I feel better now, up 30!! Third game in a row.
Funny when teams try to go small.
ok maybe Okoro is our Bruce Bowen.
Ice trey
I’d glady take that, sans the borderline dirty play.
There’s your 30 Jason!
OKORO FOR THREE!!!!! SHOWS OVER FOLKS!
It’s almost TACKO TIME!!
I think he is with the Charge.
Valentime!
if the cavs were a stock i would be doubling my initial investment tonight..
With dinwiddie and wall this game is killing my fantasy team and I don’t care
Oof… you have Wall?
Got yr priorities right Nate 👍
This kid is way more Steph than Trae Young could hope to be…
thats right EG!
OMFG DG!!
DG FROM WAY DOWNTOWN!!!
I think they called the foul earlier in the sequence when their bodies were still kinda tangled. Not at like the shorts grab
Kuz and KCP reverting to their awful Laker selves…
Nice review!
Wow… that looked like the definition of a clear path… lol
whoa, how is that not clear path?
AC’s right though. You can always control your defense. If the Cavs play this level defense the rest of the game the Wiz wont crack 85.
Team is doing well on TOs, but DG still has 4.
I am just touchy as we were approaching 30 again.
Dumb foul.
One of his few mistakes tonight…
DG shoulda let him go… KCP can’t shoot
Gentlemen, I believe this game is the “sending a message” game.
Revenge game… they owe the Wiz for that early loss…
lol the lob just decided to go in rather than waste time getting o-boarded by the Cavs
DG got too cocky LMFAO
DG SOFT TOUCH!
Big men who make free throws… what a concept!
Love seeing the energy right out of the half. Defense is locked in right now
DG had his choice of cutters for that pass… love the movement!
nice cut Ice!
Wiz just frustratedly jacking up long threes now…
This kid is a ROOKIE and already has moves like THAT…
wait Mobley just did THAT?
Hes so good
IT IS ONE THING TO WIN WHEN YOU HAVE LEBRON—IT IS ANOTHER TO WIN WITH AN ASSEMBLED GROUP OF YOUTH AND SAAVY VETERANS—-TO ME IT IS MORE ENJOYABLE TO WATCH THESE YOUNGSTERS GROW // WIN TOGETHER
MOBLEY TAKING KUZ TO THE HOLE!
Dre knott very polished
Lots of practice with the Guardians…
Pride of Barberton!
What was that tech foul shot? lol
yup on KCP BABY!!!
yeah kcp jawed at the refs at end of half
Despite the 2 TOs right at the end of the half, only 4 TOs that half for us.
Very pleasing. Was hoping it would not become a pattern after the last few games
TOTALLY UNDERSTAND EVIL–( DUTY CALLS )–WE WILL JUST HAVE TO “CHERISH ” THE TIME WHEN YOU CAN JOIN US ——–OK CAVS LET’S DO THE 2ND HALF FOR EVIL —–BRING IT HOME !!
it’s so disorienting watching a Cavs team play with such defensive effort. Outside of a few quarters against the Warriors in 2016, the Cavs haven’t played hard on defense since 2009.
We’re now the fun team to watch I’ve been hoping for since 2012 basically.
Eg, https not http to get pic links to show.
Ah… got it!
Nate’s got our security buttoned up!
*everything is awesome*

BLOCK PARTY

TRYING NOT TO GET OVERHYPED —BUT IF THE 2ND HALF RESEMBLES THE 1ST—IT MIGHT BE TIME TO “JUMP ON THE HYPE TRAIN ” !!
Allll aboard!!!
WITH THIS TYPE OF PLAY POSSIBLY WE WILL SEE “THE EVIL ONE ” JOINING IN MORE OFTEN —-ALWAYS A PLEASURE HAVING YOU WITH US EVIL TO PARTAKE IN THIS FUN !!!
And Tom P!
Love to be on more NOMAD, but duty has called a bit the past year unfortunately…
DG with 15/8, JA 18/9, Mobley 3 blocks, Love has 9/7
KLOVE WITH A SOMEWHAT QUIET 9/6/2 HALF —LOVE IT !!!
Omg. Amazing close to the quarter. You can see those lobs before they happen.
Cavs are finishing quarters like contenders game after game. No doubt the Cavs are good, but could they be really good? Like Cinderella deep playoff good?
THAT WAS SOME OF THE BEST MINUTE OF BASKETBALL BY A CAVS TEAM—-EVEN A LEBRON CAVS TEAM —–” MORE YULETUDE PLEASE —-BOTTOMS UP “
Damn. Flurry fueled by a block party!
Up 19.
We are like a large constrictor snake. We are long, wrap ourselves around the opponent, and slowly squeeze the life out of them.
hell yeah – we need a way to weave that into the lexicon
Holy crap. What a close.
What a half!!!!!!
RIP PROTECTION LEADS TO RIM NEEDS WITNESS PROTECTION
Ha haaaa!
Cavs are the best team in the East. Prove me wrong.
Nobody gonna argue right now
Contrary data not available…
WOW ARE WE HAVING FRIGGIN FUN YET
My GOODNESS this is enjoyable.
