Live Thread: Kings @ Cavs
2022-12-09Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome NBA Champion Matthew Dellavedova and the Sacramento Kings to the shores of Lake Erie, hoping to avenge a 120-127 loss during their west coast tour. Coach Mike Brown has his guys playing some fantastic ball, so the Cavs will have their work cut out for them if they want to earn that W. Both teams will be without their premier perimeter player as De’Aaron Fox and Donovan Mitchell will sit this one out with injuries. Rumors are Caris LeVert will be starting in his place. Kevin Love and Terence Davis will both also be out with injury/sickness, so both teams are dealing with issues.
This matchup features the best defense in the NBA (Cavs) against a top 5 offense (Kings). This is also a matchup about who can control the pace of the game, with the Cavs being the slowest paced team in the NBA versus a top 6 fastest pace team in the Kings. “Styles make fights” so it should be a great test for the Cavs regarding how to impose their will onto the opponent.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:30PM and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, GO CAVS!
Good night
Incredibly frustrating game…really crapping the bed down the stretch…
Not great!
DG turning into Sexton late.
WTF!!! Why does Sabonis get bailed out on fouls but Garland doesn’t?
WTF IS DG DOING
Losing the game.
He has a ways to go.
10-0 run for Kings since we were up 95-87 at 4:50.. sigh
Not a great time to go cold!
Have not scored in over 3 minutes.
Dear God? Get Okoro. Out.
4 players with 16+ points, Mobley, DG, Caris, and Osman.. good balance and with Ja with 9 and Stevens with 7.
Good TO.
Think we come back with DG and JA.
Cedi better be in.
JB with the timeout to get Allen back in the game.
Mobley on the break to Cedi!
Can’t give Huerter open 3s!
MOBLEY FASTBREAK GREAT FINISH CEDI!!!!!
Caris!
Attaway Caris
CARIS FOR THREEEEEEE GREAT BALL MOVEMENT!
YES LEVERT!!!
Caris!!!
Damn that is a terrible call.
I’d rather they call that a block then give them a 3
Up 7 again and the TO bug hits, again.
Possibly the most disciplined game I’ve seen from Garland.
DG TO MOBLEY AND ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mobley AND1
Unconventional with DG FT.

Pinkman went from slinging meth to gambling hundreds of time a year
Damn I hate that sports became even more of a grift.
Lots of grifts these days. I heard Pinkman also resides in Alaska.
CEDI PURE HOOPER >>>>>>>>>
I was cheering for a Cavalanche then Cedi drained that 3!
NETO DEFENSE!
Jedi!!!!
Clutch drive mobes.
MOBLEY RIGHT HAND >>>>>>>>
Let me o. These guys buying minutes for Allen and cafis
Nice sell Cedi!
Where is JA though.. he only has 4 attempts
5 fouls.
Nice D from Neto
Someone put in the codes for the jumbo head when Mithu was born.
good pass Neto
Mobley joins the TO party.
Stop the lob!
JB not going to Diakite is questionable given how bad OKoro’s been tonight.
Is he available?
box score says he’s active.
Lame foul call
Not a good start. 2 JA TOs and a 5th foul.
Disappointing to say the least.
RoLo!
5 on Allen
Well, a 7 pt lead down to 1. But given our start, and injuries, I’d have gladly taken up 1 after 3 if offered pre-game.
Damnit.
DAMN YOU DELLY AGAIN!
That chase down!!!!
Cedi chased own, Okoro three
OKORO!
nICE!
Classic Delly steal and dime.
Osman with the defensive play of the game

DAMN YOU DELLY!!!
We had to ball up 7 and had 2 TOs in the next 3 possessions. Bang. Down to one.
Hey JB you know you have challenges right?
I’m tellin you LeVert is a rhythm player. Needs touches for feel.
Exactly, which is why you need to run a LeVert/Neto backcourt in stints.
Caris with two floaters tonight!!!
LET CARIS COOK
LeVert is feeling it now!
LeVert is cooking
Dang it, Evan.
CARIS LEVERT DEFENSE >>>>>>>>>>>>
NETO GIVING CAVS GOOD MINUTES, NO SURPRISE!
LeVert having himself a really nice night.
Sabonis is not a great FT shooter.
Then there’s that move.
