Live Thread: Pacers @ Cavs
2022-02-06Good evening CtB!
In case you missed it, major Cavs’ news:
Full trade: Indiana sends Caris LeVert and a 2022 second-round pick via Miami to Cleveland for Ricky Rubio, lottery-protected 2022 first-round pick, 2022 second-round pick via Houston and a 2027 second-round pick via Utah, per sources.

Instant reaction? Expensive but necessary. Stay tuned for more trade reaction and analysis, and Commentariat sound off below!
The Indiana Pacers visit the shores of Lake Erie for their second game of their four game series. It is believed that Indiana is beginning a full tear-down of the roster, so their guys will be looking to audition and make a good impression to those watching from across the NBA. For the Cavs, they’ll be looking to stack another win to remain in the hunt for the Eastern Conference’s top seed. The urgency may even be heightened post-trade, as the arrival of Caris LeVert means that the Cavs are committed to making a playoff push. The Cavs’ young core appear to be on a collision course with their first taste of NBA playoff basketball, the excitement is palpable.
As for the game at hand, it will be dictated by the Cavs’ defense. Hopefully Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley look to dominate the paint and carry the Cavs while Darius Garland continues to mend a sore back.
Tip off is scheduled for 6:00PM ET and will be broadcasted on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, Go Cavs!!!

So much fun when they get rolling!!!!
Defense kept us in it. Lets finish this one with triple digits
That was such a heady double team on sabonis by STEVENS. Love the DAWG
Made the miss happen.
LOVE IS AN ASSASSIN
Feeling some home town advantage right now.
Big Lov3 three!
Cedi!
WHAT A PASS RONDO CEDI GREAT FINISH!
Mobley has had a terrible game but he is still grinding
The force is strong.
this team will try the patience of job
They’re really young. They don’t quit. And they grind. Can’t fault that. And yeah they drive us nuts
CEDI PULL UP LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
RAGE TIMEOUT. CEDIIIIIIII
C3DI!!!!!!
Big shot cedi!
Cedi. It’s time to progress to the mean
👏👏👏
YAAAAAAS CEDIIIII
HOOOOOOOTTTT
I’m more and more convinced that Windler did something to JB. Hit on his wife? His daughter? Walked in to the stall while JB was taking a dump? He did SOMETHING!
Be nice to have another theoretical 3 pt threat out there on occasion. He will probably he buried even more with levert. Then again we need playmaking more than anything.
Keyed his Mercedes. Big mistake.
6 points feels like 12 with this team but not out if it lfg!!!
duarte certainly happy about the levert trade
Yep. That J at the end sucked.
Still, within 6.
Goooooooo Cavs!
Kev is everything this game.
LOVE STEAL LOVE OUTLET STEVENS FINISH!!!! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO
God loves a Klove outlet pass.
STEVENS EURO STEPPING GREAT STEAL CEDI!
Stevens, you champion
I’d consider bringing in Windler or even Nemhard. Just mix it up do something to try to spark the offense
LOVE WITH SOME TOUGHNESS!
Rondo shooting a three is barely better than a turnover
Jeez Rondo can look awful at times.
okoro and goodwin.. 2 starters with ZERO pts in 39 min
These games without DG show how desperately we need someone who can create their own shot and get buckets. Lavert can hopefully fill that role
yup, that’s why LeVert’s name came up… he’s the type of player that can give the Cavs what they’re missing from Sexton and Rubio.
the cavs are going to lose this game.. they need some of their players to actually practice their chosen craft
duarte.. great mid 1st round pick by indy
yup, can’t shy away from 4 year college players!
Pacers defense has been impressive
they have some length and athleticism
WOW Duarte is a problem
RONDO WHAT A FINISH!!!! MIGHT BE MVP OF THE GAME!
NFT madness. The world is off it’s rocker.
LOVE GOT FOULED EASY POINTS!
