Live Thread: Pistons @ Cavs
2023-02-08Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome the Detroit Pistons to the shores of Lake Erie for a classic Central Division showdown, a game that will be made much harder to win for the Cavs given the breaking injury/rest news:
#Cavs Donovan Mitchell (groin soreness) and Darius Garland (thumb soreness) are both OUT tonight against Detroit, sources tell @clevelanddotcom. Raul Neto and Caris LeVert will be stepping into the starting lineup, sources say.

Ironically, the Cavs played without both DG and Spida and blew out Detroit in their first matchup of the season 112-88. But in that game NBA Champion Kevin Love played an instrumental part (21 points, 10 rebounds, +30 plus/minus in 23 minutes) especially on the offensive side to help win that game. Perhaps KLOVE will make a return? Stay tuned.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, Go Cavs!
Sorry for hijacking with trade talk but man how do the Lakers get DLo, Beasley and Vanderbilt for Westbrooks bloated contract and a 1st? The Wolves only get Conley and a 2nd. Westbrook will be bought out so the Jazz add to their treasure trove of 1st rd picks
Silver called it in LMFAO
The Jazz going into tank mode!
Russell is a FA after this year and the Wolves don’t want to pay him. They get Conley, who is a steadier PG & has experience with Gobert, and is under contract for another year.
Minny was gonna lose him for nothing. Now they get a true PG and preserve that salary slot for another year.
Minny gets a second and a 1.5 years of Conley forc a guy they didn’t want to keep and were a day away from losing for nothing.
Utah gets a Laker first for Beasley & Vanderbilt. But Clarkson, Sexton, and Agbaji arexalso SGs on that roster. Vanderbilt is a nice player, but Lauri, Olynyk, and Kessler are all ahead of him at PF/C.
Llama!
ROLO LLAMA GIVE AND GO TIME TO FOLD DETROIT
9 straight possessions where we scored before that miss from Okoro after he had to jack up a shot with the shot clock running down.
ROLO time
Classic.
He’s like Auerbach’s cigar.
ha-ha!
Time to get the bench in…
Time for RoLo & Diakite.
Time to get JA out of there
CARIS COOKING AND THE HATERS AND LOSERS ARE FURIOUS
5-11 from two. 5 boards. 5 dimes. 2 stls. 2 TOs. Nothing wrong with that.
ha ha!
Up 30. 26-4 in the 4th.
CAVALANCHE!!!!!!!!
This fourth is a slaughter.
We deserve it after those 2nd and first half of the 3rd quarter.. it was horrible.
Love ICE going to the bucket
He’s best like that as a slasher.
22-4 scoring advantage in the 4th in more than 6 minutes.
If all goes well.. another game holding an opponent under 100.
And like that we’re up 26
Bogey the old man lookinest dude in the nba. Even more than Ingles.
Caris two more freebies! Stat padding!
Caris two on a row. When he doesn’t fart around he’s so much better.
Nice bucket caris
LeVert with a quick 4!
Raul
Neto is a professional
Neto absolutely schooling those kids…
Neto-lanche!
Neto lol! Dominating !
I think we are shooting from here.
I love seeing the bench reacts and both DG and DM was off their seats for Neto’s and 1.
Neto!!!
Caris needs to drive and dish
Agree.. him driving and attempting a layup is fine… him driving and shooting… not so much.
Caris back in no lead safe
Lmaooo .. facts
Boglin pushed off on that Neto foul call
Croation golden turd.
Give JB credit for benching caris.
9-0 run in the first 2 minutes of the 4th.. what a joy after 9 points in the first 5 minutes of the third…
Since it was 62-60 (Cavs) at the 4 min mark In the third and Pistons made their run.. we’ve had a 23-6 run
THE CHERRY PICKER
Cedi Picker
More nICE work from Okoro. A swat and a dime!
Great ball movement late… and as per usual, Cedi on the break… that’s what we need.
ICE TO CEDI RAGE TIMEOUT
ICE AND WADE TWO MAN
The Turkish MJ for the slam!
Semi-Cavalanche to start. Good call Arch!
D3aner!!!
Wade from Ice!
Jimmy Dean!!!
MOBLEY DOING WORK
Yes good start. To the bonus we must get!
Great start. Thanks JB
Did Corey Joseph eat someone?
Detroit deep dish
That’s some deeeeep dish
Sauce on top.
Cedi much better this half.
James Dean Wade
Cedi finding his lightening. Hopefully LeVert can progress to the mean.
Dang the dunk at the end but still up 8.
Had to play Neto & Rubio together at the end there. Caris struggling.
Rubio has played 14 min. He should be good for half the 4th at least.
Need the Cavalance in the 4th
I will gladly take haging on for the win.
THANK YOU WADE KEEP SHOOTING YOUNG MAN!
James Dean!
Nothing but Neto!
CEDI AND WADE BALL MOVEMENT PERFECT BASKETBALL
Need a 3 and NETO!!!!
Great extra pass from Cedi
Ricky with the banana in the tail pipe
is daugherty’s number retired ? it must be..
Getting to the line a lot would be fantastic.
Back up to 7. Stopped the bleeding at least.
Too bad Cedi missed that last one, I thought hexwas ready to go streaking.
Spanish Jesus
Cedi cherry picking. Love it
CEDI!!!! LETS GOOOOO
RUBIOOOOOOO
15 points in this quarter.. wow ugly
Why is Nate’s Laker post pinned?
Fat fingers
Bogey with some garbage.
We need to stop fouling.
