Live Thread: Cavs vs Hornets
2022-11-18Lamar Stevens has entered the chat. In a surprise move, Lamar will be starting and Caris LeVert will be moving to the bench. In addition, Jarrett Allen will suit up tonight after missing the last two games. For Charlotte, it’s looking rough, especially at guard.
If the Cavs don’t snap their losing streak after being mostly healthy, we’ll all really start to worry. I think they’ve got this one, despite the worry. Cavs by ten.
We have a LOT of work to do.
But 9-6 ain’t horrible. It just feelslike it after the start we had.
The TOs in the clutch REALLY bother me.
The team flashed immense potential before expected…I think we are all recalibrating in the wake of their last six poor finishes. I didn’t see tonight’s game, but a team with two prolific playmakers and two multi-talented bigs should not be struggling to close out games as they have been. JB, call some plays!
Win and move on.
THATS RIGHT LETS GOOOO IT AINT EASY WINNING IN THE NBA!!!
Happy they broke through. Gotta keep improving.
Fortunate to win a game that should never have been in doubt.
Still, DG was magnificent. And Mobes was close to 20/20.
I’m with AC on this – it’s tough to break a losing streak so just glad we did it.
yup, the pressure was mounting.
Cavs need to clean up their turnovers, transition D and 3pt defense..and so much more
Hornets 35-15 advantage on Points off turnover..
Hornets 19-2 advantage on fast break points
Hornets 17-8 advantage on offensive rebounds
Hornets 18 more field goal attempts
A lot of the FB pts is the TOs. But us with 2 is horrid, and the transition D is bad.
The TOs & defensive glass are the sticking points for me. That gives the other team more shot attempts, and most of them are easy.
WHO NEEDS A DDRINK? I KNOW I DO!!!
Bout to go crack one open, god that game
I picked a bad week to stop drinking….
*AIRPLANE.GIF* LMFAOOO
A win is a win, but that was awful…
soo true… glad we finally won, but it’s still worrisome how they closed the 4th quarter. .
Phewww!
Haha. The old CP3 Move.
Dean wade cannot come back soon enough. Woof.
AMEN SCOTCH
Lowe’s “Ten Things” column began last week with this about Wade:
Get to know Dean Wade. He doesn’t shoot much, or do any one thing at a super-high level. But good things happen when he’s on the floor — and have since the Cavaliers scooped him up on a two-way contract. He’s one of those jack-of-all-trades role players who fit any lineup.
Didn’t everything go a bit wonky once he went out?
I think it was a couple prior to him going out, one of which we won against the lakers after it being close most of the game. I’d have to revisit. I do remember specfically saying that the clippers loss could be nothing but was so bad it was probably going to be the beginning of a losing streak and we would be able to blame injuries but it actually was apparent something wasn’t right before those injuries, and I specifically mentioned Thibs-level issues with JB. Wade would only help…he’s such a glue guy on both ends…but bottom line is… Read more »
How the F wasn’t that a travel????
4-0 in overtime’s!
4-0-1 cause this first ot was a tie tonight.
DM gives it up for the sweet finish
Great game for Mobley overall…
DONOVAN TO MOBLEY DAGGER!!!!!
AC up past his bedtime
If I had to work tomorrow I’d also be extremely pissed…
Wow what a stressful win
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
lol, the stress of being a sports fan
This has been exhausting
DONOVAN MITCHELLLLLLLLLLL
Shocked JA got that call in his favor…
McDaniels goes for the pancake on JA
DG splitting them open at will.
DARIUS GARLAND 40 BURGER CARRY THE HELL ON….
Finally a good oob play!!!!
Whew.
Mobes!
That was nice.
EVAN MOBLEY BOARD WORK IMMACULATE!

Oubre out, so he won’t make the game winner, anyway…

Awesome play LeVert.
Bye Bye Oubre!!
CARIS LEVERT PUTTING HATERS IN THE MUD

35-10 points off turnovers advantage for Hornets..
That’s crazy
great stat Sweetchi!
SHOOT THE BALL DARIUS WHAT ARE YOU DOING
I’m actually rooting against our team right now so that JB gets fired. That’s how irrationally mad I am right now.
LMFAOOOOO LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
Well, he’s not getting fired, so…
Cavs super lucky hornets called timeout.
yeah, I think Clifford is a good coach tho on the whole.
Worried about DG fouling out, but at least we have a chance.
Great D Mobley.
Wow 2ot !!
EVAN MOBLEY BIG TIME STOP LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Finally a miss…
Let’s gooo!
Dumb timeout by hornets. Lets Cavs sub out bad defenders.
Honestly… I’m not even hyped after that 3 because Cavs havent shown me that they can defend lately..
I’d be shocked if they get a stop, or even force a tough shot.
Big shot by DG, but this one is destined to end with an Oubre three.
So true.
Just embarrassing having to scrap for this win.
DARIUS GARLAND MVP THANK YOU EVAN MOBLEY
Botched switch there. Credit to Hornets for making all their shots
Come on.
MITCHELL AND MOBLEY TRASH DEFENSE GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER
JFC…getting picked and letting Rozier have a wide open 3…why do I watch this crap…
Gotta get a syop
Both defenders go after Hayward, leaves Terry wide open. BAD defense
Hornets hitting 9 out of their last 12 shots.. impossible horrible “clutch” defense.
But their shots have been open? They aren’t even making tough shots . Our defending is so bad
Mobley attempting a 3?? Now??
DARIUS GARLAND MVP
jesus Mobley you can’t let him score on you in that moment.
DARIUS COOKING GET A DAMN STOP
Washington having his way with Mobley
DG TO MOBLEY CMON LETS GOOOO
Rozier always kills them.
there’s no place like home!
At this rate..any opposing guard lately.
and he kills them again.. sigh .. its like we cant get a stop
Hornets 13 and Cavs 6 made 3’s
Cavs have the dumbest switching scheme out on the perimeter.
Letting a gunning scrub like Kelly Oubre beat you…sad…
after being up 90-74.. The Hornets outscored Cavs 31-15 in the last 9 min.
Hornets closed the quarter on a 10-2 run
I’m not that kind of fan at all, but I think Cavs are losing this…it’s almost robbery if they somehow win…
Garbage. DG and DM with a combined 13 tovs and 9 assists.
Letting Rozier have that opportunity….jesus wept.
And that’s exactly what you don’t leave open: the short corner.
Pathetic
