Live Thread: Cavs @ Raptors
2022-10-19Good evening CtB and welcome to the 2022-23 NBA season!
The Cavs hopped over Lake Erie to the shores of Lake Ontario to take on the Toronto Raptors to open their 2022-23 NBA season. The Raptors will certainly be one of their main adversaries to securing a playoff birth at the end of the year, so the atmosphere should be absolutely rocking with a playoff-like energy.

The mystery is no longer, Caris LeVert will be the starting small forward. I think J.B. made the right call and now it’s up to Caris to secure that bag. The one thing to watch for tonight? How about Evan Mobley’s Rookie of they Year snub revenge tour. This is the kind of situation in which Mobley thrives. LET’S GOOOOOOO!!!!
Tip off is scheduled for 7:30PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted on Bally Sports Ohio, Go Cavs!
(Be sure to check out the Over/Under pod and the excellent 5 on 5 article brought to you by CtB!)
Damn, missed dunk.
Wade hit in the head. Why no flagrant???
THESE GOT DAMN REFS ARE BULLSHIT!!!!
Good move, Wade
THATS A FLAGRANT FOUL!!!!!!!!!!!
Attaway Deano
Allen is a revelation.
LETS GOOOOOOOOO
CEDI WITH THE FOOTWORK!!!!
This Toronto team gonna lead the league in injured opponents the way they making people fall and their bodies flying all over the place.
I’ve been agonizing about whether to get an Allen, Mobley or Garland jersey. I think JA just sealed it.
Keep feeding the Fro.
One spot we have a size advantage.
Spida got 3 minutes of rest. Can he finish from here?
JA and Mobley has 3 great defensive blocks on 3 dunks in this game, amazing !
Neto looks 67 years old
Bad from Neto there. DM in to save it!
Thank you Jarrett.
JA in monster mode
JARRETT ALLEN BIG BOY BALL
Eff yeah JA.
Dumb, Neto
Barnes is a world class turd!
JARRETT ALLEN TAKEOVER!!!!!!!
JA. LETS GO!
JFC why is neto still in.
No stops this half.
3 triples.
Then a missed triple, O board, layup.
Then a missed 3, O board, triple.
So much for that lead of 8 pts.
Too much damn 3’s… can’t leave the home team get energy like that.. they’ve hit like 4-5 already I feel… not good !
Need to weather the 3 point barrage. It won’t last.
Rebound the gd ball.
Welp. Raps literally cannot miss
Yes the can, but they get another shot every time.
my god we suck at rebounding
still…
Cavs need defense and length on the perimeter
CALL THE FOUL REF WHAT THE HELLL IS YOUR PROBLEM
Spida out, up 5.
Mobley wore Barnes like a cape.
where tf is ice
He’s been bad on D.
Just bad really
I didn’t care that much about winning tonight — first game of the season, whatevs — but now that they BLINDED DARIUS, I want Canadian BLOOD.
Amen

Need some DG updates. What a freaking bummer.
A real pleasure to see Mitchell bust doubles with just his body and his strength.
Yeah,he’s really strong, and that long reach makes him hard to catch if he get’s a step.
As my daughter just pointed out, we haven’t had a scorer like DM since Kyrie. Such a difference maker.
baby ky with 6 big ones tonight.. oops.. 13
yes.. spida was worth the cost..
Anyone who makes a Sexton is almost as good comment can just ……..
Spida really was the difference!
spida like a fullback
Baby got back.
And hops.
Rare combo for a 6’1″ guard.
MITCHELL IS BAD MOTHER********
Man I didn’t know. So good, so smooth
Man I love Spida !!!
LOVE TO WADE!
LEVERT CLUTCH
Spida back in.
CRaptors defensive philosophy bribe the refs and hack the sh$t out of the opponents.
Nothing but ling threes and JA FTs since Spida left.
Spicy P a problem
Spida needs to play the entire 4th.
This Raps team is pretty unlikeable.
Feed love and Allen please
26-10 free throw disparity
Odd, but it’ll happen when one team is allowed nearly all defensive contact.
Nice feed Okoro.
Okoro gotta stop leaning on guys.
We really needed a guy like Donovan who can create and make shots.. cause I can’t imagine us playing competitive right now without DG this quarter.
Neto for Spida. Hope we can hold on here.
FUCK THE REFS THIS IS BULLSHIT
Man Raps get so many bs calls
Need to start laying some dudes out if they’re going to get the refs respect apparently.
wtf these refs suck so bad wtf
they must have money on the game only explanation
4 on Barnes
I’m sick of Scottie Barnes.
Super physical all the time, and acts shocked if he actually draws a foul…
just a punk..
Detached retina perhaps? What a drag
Can win with D and Rebounding, won’t be able to win a shootout
Mobley goes video game.
MY GOODNESS MOBLEY!!!
Time to take out Van Fleets eye. And eye for an eye!
Our best 2 playmakers are out.
Cedi/LeVert doing too much is in our future.
