Live Thread: Cavs vs Magic
2022-10-26Cleveland hosts the unfeated Orlando Magic tonight, who are hungry for a win I’m sure. The Cavs will be without Darius Garland once again, but he did fortunately practice with the team today.
Darius Garland's eye is still significantly swollen, but he continued practicing today which is only good news for the #Cavs. pic.twitter.com/6q1LvQl9Z0

Windler and Rubio also remain out. For Orlando, Fultz, Mo Wagner, Jalen Suggs, Gary Harris, and Jonathan Isaac are also out. They Cavs will have to contend with Orlando’s size and the stellar play so far of Paulo Banchero, Cole Anthony, and Bol Bol(?). Keeping Orlando’s lengthy dudes off the boards especially Wendall Carter Jr. Look for Cleveland to run early and often to negate the Magic size advantage. This team turns the ball over a lot and doesn’t defend will. Trust Austin Carr to say “you gotta hit em in the mouth early.” See you at 7!
MOBLEY JUST SHOOT IT!!!!!
Banqureo is a stud. Didn’t follow the draft. Don’t know anything about him, but he is advanced on o already.
yeah, he’s a true offensive engine.
damn Banchero what a finish
Gotta make that bunny after a nice drive cedi, but ja with the nice hustle.
my god make a FT
Cedi great move but missed the bunny.
Neto’s got some guns lol
damn Cedi smoked that layup but JA ON THE JOB!
Reminds me of Cedi a couple of years ago, would be moving so fast by the time he gets to the hoop that it was impossible to take the speed of the ball for a layup.
LMFAOOOO true!
Incredible halfcourt d by neto.
NETO DPOY
Love Neto…
better than rondo
Let’s put them away here.
JA YEOMANS WORK!!!
JA beasting
I’m liking this bench unit with Mobes at the 5
great catch, Mobley at the 5 always helps his offense.
3 rebounds still unacceptable.
caris coming into his own.. he is going to be an animal.. have patience
I much prefer him facilitating, taking the the occasional drive, and taking spot up treys than the dribble dribble dribble mid range j game he was so fond of last year
LMFAOOOOO they called a foul on that?????
But what would a fourth quarter be without meaning reviews and delays?.
We are leaving a ton of points at the line.
10-17 sucks.
yeah that’s straight up pathetic.
but it happens and i wont care if they win LMFAOOO but JB better be running a FT line at the beginning of practice.
J.B. challenge!
Amen.
CHALLENGE THAT
Great d near half court neto. The more quality monutes neto gives us the more rest mitchell gets for the stretch.
WHAT A PASS CARIS!
cedi just drop that dime to Allen running the floor but good take.
Ratcheting up the defense and the Cavs looks so much better.
NETO DEFENSE LOOK THAT PRESSURE!!!!!
Neto looks so fundamentally sound. Very happy with his contributions so far.
NICE MOVE NETO!
MOBLEY IN THE MIDDLE IT”S NOT HARD WADE FOR THREE!!!
Magic relying on YOLO 3s is good for the Cavs
GREAT DEFENSE WADE! LET GOOOOOOO
Would you trade straight up Mobley for Banchero right now?
as big of a Paolo fan I am, no don’t think so…. Mobley will always be a much better defender I’d guess.
I think about. Banchero going to be an offensive superstar
It’s a fun hypothetical. I think I’d do it – I think elite shot creation slightly more valuable than elite D. Magic say “No” immediately I would think
yeah definitely LOL they don’t have any offensive creation.
No – Mobley has Duncan vibes defensively. Fits better with DG/Mitchell
I’d like to think that Mobley has a higher ceiling, might just take a bit longer to get there.
Another great pass by cedi to mobes
CEDI AND MOBLEY HAVE CHEMISTRY
Great oop and d on subsequent possession by cedi
CEDI WHAT A PASS
thank god JB pulled Ice…
LETS GOOOO MOBLEY STARTING TO LOOK NORMAL!
I don’t disagree but man that sucks..
he needs to play with the Charge IMO, let him figure out his handles.
Oof. Mitchell at 31 minutes already. Going to be a heavy load until dg comes back apparently.
GOOD DEFENSE MOBLEY!
does anyone really believe that okoro shot tens of thousands of outside shots in the off-season ? i think he is a check-casher
Spida, Love, and DM 2-15 from deep.
Ours to lose – we’re clearly the better team here
I’m anticipating Spyda gonna take over… been pretty quiet tonight.
GIVE ME DIAKITE OR STEVENS JB CMON
Cavs building a brick outhouse tonight. Magic are going to lose a lot of games, but they’ll have a lot of annoying games like this…lotta length.
Orlando hanging around.
Poor close. 2 pts last 3 min as 11 shrivels to 4.
Every time we get up 8-11,they get right back in it.
Bol bol showing skills on o.
WE CANT SURVIVE OKORO MINUTES JB
Hardly at fault here.
yeah that’s what i said.
Damn okoro. Defense is what you’re in for. You can lose guys like that on backdoors.
I think that was Mitchell
it was mitchell
Ah ok. thought it looked like okoro.
yeah agreed, he’s just clogging the shit out of the paint on offense really.
Mobley out of rhythm on that pass, but Cedi still needs to make that.
Getting good looks, gotta shoot through this
MITCHELL BEAST MODE
uh oh, not sure if Cavs can survive Okoro minutes -7 by far worst on the team tonight.
Man he is almost out of the rotation it seems isn’t he ?
It’s trending that way IMO
Cooling off from 3. More attack the rack.
Great passing this quarter !
This team is gonna be even more fun to watch when DG is back.
Best quarter Mobley has played yet. Great to see
Mobley heating up.
THERE YOU GO MOBLEY ONE DRIBBLE PULL UP!
Mobes going off!
about time they run mobley at the free throw line against the zone!
There you go. Nice strong finish by mobes.
LOVE GREAT HELP DEFENSE!
GREAT POSITION AND SEAL BY MOBLEY!
Cavs challenging at the rim with a little more authority
Incredible board by mitchell. Unfortunately ja was tentative.
THAT WAS ALL BALL
OK I WAS WRONG
LMFAOOOO HE GOT SMACK UP
Love cannot hit a jumper tonight.
We went to Jarrett!
About time for a mini Cavalanche…if they can hit some shots. Love JA this game…and most games…
Bol is a guy Ja can bully. If he gets that kind of deep post position against bol he should get it every time.
LETS GOOOOOOOO JA CAUGHT HIM A BODY
