Live Thread: Kings @ Cavs
2021-12-11Tonight, on the shores of Lake Erie the Cavs welcome the Sacramento Kings for a second game of a back to back (with travel!) for both teams. Luckily for the Cavs, they took care of business early against the Timberwolves so they come into tonight’s game in the ideal circumstance. The Kings come into the game the opposite fashion, a brutal loss in Charlotte at the hands of the walking wounded Hornets. The hangover potential for the Kings is real. The challenge for the Cavs will be internal, finishing the five games in a week strongly and with a winning record. Doing so will create momentum heading into another tough stretch of schedule until Christmas.
Cavs should have all hands on deck outside of Young Bull, while it looks like the Kings are missing a major piece in Richaun Holmes. Without Holmes this squad is completely reliant on guards to pressure the rim and score. If Tower City comes out with the right mindset they should be fixing for another beat down. The Cavs have stepped up to every challenge this season has presented, so it should be a fun one tonight at the “Rock.”
Tip off is scheduled for 8:00PM ET and will be broadcasted on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes. GO CAVS!
recap up!
We are now tied with the Bucks for the best point differential in the East (and 4th in the league).
Also, now at .500 at home.
Well, a great half followed by a lousy one, but still enough to win.
Okoro had 20 to lead the team. Becoming the 8th different Cav to lead the team in scoring this year.
We passed the Wiz tonight. Up to 5th. Win over the Heat will move us to 4th.
another grenade blows up in the troubled foot of griffin’s “can’t lose, no 1 pick-of-a-generation”.. memphis the prime beneficiary.. similarly, cle the prime beneficiary of cade and green.. thank goodness for the sizzle that seduces those who think they know..it appears that donuts will be the ruin of the young 300 pounder.. at least koby screwed up on weak bones with a #28 pick..
Great point! Zion needs to trade out the beignets for some salad. Imagine if we get Green instead of Mobley. I don’t want to even think about it.
Zion is really good when healthy. Different level prospect than Cade/Green.
he is done.. like anthony bennett done.. sexton has more trade value than grenade-foot
He’d be 10 times better than Gum drop with one foot….
at pinball ? he can’t walk dude.. windler will play more games in his career than grenade-foot.. and naloxone doesn’t work for donut overdose..
this has nothing to do with talent.. it is just high school physics and some bio-medical materials science.. he is done..
All the blitzing really bothered Garland in the second half. Cavs needed some easier shots but kept taking 3s on tired legs. Still, big shots by Rubio took it home. Great win!
Low energy and then a lid on the rim, still got it done. That’s why you build up a bonkers lead in the first place so you can weather the dry spells. Rough game for Lauri. Allen in the post when nothing was falling in the halfcourt bought them time and the free throws helped keep the Cavs from bleeding out.
Great win
yup, exactly Tom… still covered the spread!!! LMFAOOOO
Cavs need to sleep in tomorrow and eat steak and eggs for breakfast!!!
100% they get two days off soon, can’t wait for that for them!!!
Heat up next, with the unstoppable Tyler Herro…
LMFAOOOOOOOO get bucks ass!!! (love you buck!)
3 and 2 in a back breaker week, almost 4 and 1. Nice bit of work
Cavs +9 from the free throw line made a huge difference
attacking the rim with bigs has paid off in a big way in that department!!!
A win is a win is a win is a win
thats right
If the Cavs had hit 2-3 shots earlier in the 4th, it would have been much less stressful…but good win…
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 3-2 in a week?????
FANTASTIC STEAL CEDI
Best win in a while. Got tested in a different way and responded. A tale of two halves…
Any Major Dude should have been the A side…
DG finally gets a shot to drop…and that’ll do it…
I can breathe again
Woof
DG HESI DAGGER SAFE TRAVELS SACTOWN!
Rubio willing us to the finish line on both ends
Ricky turning out the lights…
RICKY AGAIN AGAIN
RUBIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Rubio bailout after great dg hustle. Goodnight Sacramento
Rubio redemption
RICKY AGAIN
RUBIO!!!!
RICKY
RUBIO IS CLUTCH
Mitchell is a competitor
he’s a dawg for sure
Rubio with a giant bone head play. 1 on 3 got too cute with it
Man, 4th qtr tonight is brutal…
Free throw shooting has been the difference in the game
Spain PnR gets a JA flash post right under the basket with the mismatch.
An 80 point half and a 25 point half so far.
Even steven…
Speaking of Stevens…gotta find mins for him in a back to back
Lid on the bucket…
Cavs cannot seem to grab the ball with both hands on O or on D
The biggest threat seems to be the clock!
Surprising to by kings.
Kings using their whole bench, JB going 8 bit them in the ass tonight no question
main gripe with his coaching so far
Yeah
Cavs gotta get the wing rotation figured out
DG KISS! LAST CHANCE TO!
Horrendous offense in second half
Need to try to get JA involved in pick and rolls…
No foul at all! Gd it.
Zero lift in the cavs legs. All energy from the kings.
Ugh!!!
Uhhh wha
I can’t believe I’m seeing this
Big board JA…
Big rebound JA needed that!
Whelp
Run rhe offense.
Not too smart there, DG…
F@#k
No excuses about being tired…kings are tired too. Just need to focus and execute
We need to get our defensive mojo rocking again. Everything this team does keys off of defense
yup, Starts and ends with the bigs!!!
Need Rubio and Love to settle this shit down.
Cavs not taking care of business.
This game not over by a long stretch
Metu has been good for kings
Former Spurs guy! Has always flashed IMO
Kings in the bonus now too, gonna see how the cavs handle the 4th quarter adversity
Seriously? Cedi got hammered
Holy crap. This is getting uncomfortable
