Looks like a pretty full roster for the Cavs. And word is that Davis and LeBron are starting for L.A. The Lakers have been better since Westbrook moved to the bench, but after picking up wins against Denver and New Orleans, they dropped one to our friends in Utah, Friday. The Cavs’ starters need to play the Lakers to a draw and the Cleveland bench, which has been dominant so far this season, needs to keep up the positive plus/minus, and the wine and gold should have this one.
That’s easier said than done as LeBron is 17-1 against Cleveland. With Garland, Mitchel, LeBron, and AD all questionable today yet playing through the injuries, you know the stars on both squads are up for this one! This is as big of a Cavs game since Donovan Mitchell has joined the squad and should have prime time vibes! Go Cavs!
Spida the closer
Needed that brilliance from Spida!
Soo smooth !
Cmon. Flush these turds.
JB sticking with the starters.
Theory being they need some time together. They are proving his point eith sone ugly ball.
Geez! So many missed shots at the rim!
La reserves making a run
Come on guys, close the game!
Not a great closing effort.
Not great last three offensive possessions for cavs.
Darvin waving the white flag!
Good.
Get some garbage time minutes for Ice to hit a shot. Maybe a bit for Mobes as well.
Clamps are strong with this team!
We have the same shooting percentage as LA now.. that’s to show how good our second half has been.
Tuning in to a glorious scoreline.
GOOOO CAVS!!!!!
LETS GOOOOOO JA LOCKED IN !!!!
Street Clothes can’t stop Fro Allen!
The anasthesiologist picks up a couple buckets in isolation.
Schroeder 0 minutes, -1 plus minus hahaha
Lmfao
Thanks Dennis. Ya dummy.
CARIS LEVERT A LITTLE SAUCE FOR YA!!!
Don’t understand that call. Lbj has always gotten it though
Me either.. and other times it’s a foul on the floor.
Bron trying to make the score not so bad.
Save for the issue on that dunk attempt, he’s played well.
Coast to Coast with Dean Wade
LMFAOOOOOO LETS GOOOOOOOOO HES AN ALIEN HOOOPER!!!
44-21 after halftime.
Is there a Cavalanche in there somewhere?
End of third to start of 4th is 25-5.
HERE YOU GO
Give la js and pack paint appears to be one of the worst achilles heals I have seen for a team in recent years.
Realized that the cavs as built are a great counter to lbj and star based teams. Man, just keep feeling better and better about them and what they can do.
6 TOs for DG. Still in preseason form in some ways.
Another double double for Kev off the bench!
F this transition take foul bs. I hate this rule. We don’t need more offensive rules today. Swung way too far towards offense.
The refs have to figure out how to call it, it will take a while.
I don’t want offense to be as easy as it is today. Needs to be either more contact allowed especially on perimeter, or some of the other rules oriented towards offense need to be reverted.
They need to call it correctly, but the so called ‘take foul’ never had anything to do with defense. It never had any place in the game.
Hampers transition run and gun teams which I don’t mind. Forces half court scoring in playoffs. It was smart defense to take a foul. You still are getting a foul called. Not like the defensive team has no penalty.
Good TO.
DG got a bit sloppy there. We got a game tomorrow, let’s not mess around here, sing LA a lullaby.
GTWSOH!
GET THAT WEAK STUFF OUTTA HERE
CEDI HIT HIM WITH THE SPIN!!!!
Attaway Cedi!!!
Good dish by dg to ja
JARRETT ALLEN HAS AWOKEN!!!!
Boy the lakers have zero shooting
Of course wb hits another trey when I say that.
Cedi runs the floor makes a difficult catch and hits Mitchell who finishes a filthy abd1
JAMES DEAN WADE TWO WAY PLAYMAKER RAGE TIMEOUT!!!
Dean “Showtime” Wade
Wade great steal. Lakers in trouble.
Now 7 TOs for Russ. That is helping our cause considerably.
James Dean Wade!!!!
I swear Mitchel walked but hey I’ll take that and 1
I thought the same thing. But he power dribbled prior to taking the steps. He likely took three steps though.
OH LORDY CAVS ARE COOKING LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Wild fb but it worked because mitchells long arms and catch.
Put away these bums to start the 4th…
10-0 run to close the quarter… let’s go Cavs !
Patented one armed sky rebound by Mitchell.
16 pts for LA that quarter. Much better.
Nice quarter.
Dang, almost up 10 if Donovan buries that.
LAKERS COLLAPSE LETS GOOOOOOOOO
Love is bad on closeouts and he isn’t great one on one on the perimeter, but he is still a really good positional and help/scheme defender.
That last close out being a giant exception. Actually moved his feet and stayed with the guy on the drive after close out
LETS GOOOOO LOVE IS IN THE AIR! DEAN WADE REBOUNDING!!!!
Love buries the 2nd bite after a Wade oboard!
Love with great d and then second chance trey
LOCKDOWN DEFENSE LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Fantastic d poss by cavs leading sc violation
Nice play. Mobes to love followed by Cedi running the floor!
LETS FUCKING GOGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Be nice to get an 8 point cushion going into fourth.
HOLY SHIT WHAT A FINISH LOVE!!!
Wow. That was like a no no no yes pass from mobley to love
GOOD DEFENSE LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
DG TO CEDI!
Big shot Osman.
Lakers aren’t even attempting jump shots
Cedi!
Too much easy shots…
We need to close this quarter.. the only time I feel Cavs played well is the beginning of the third.
Still killing us in paint and transition
FLOP
