Live Thread: Cavs @ Heat, Part 2
2023-03-10Good evening CtB!
The Cavs are on spring break in South Beach as they take on the Miami Heat for the second game of their two game set, and this time it will be the nationally televised game in primetime. The Cavs were able to eek out a win Wednesday night on the back of a MVP performance from Darius Garland. Unfortunately, he will not be available tonight because he took a charley horse from Bam Adebayo:
#Cavs Darius Garland is OUT tonight against Miami, sources tell @clevelanddotcom. Caris LeVert will start in his place, sources say.

Will Coach J.B. Bickerstaff go seven deep or will he give another shot to Dean Wade or Cedi Osman, two of the Cavs’ bench players this season, or will it be #FREENETO season…??? Stay tuned! Should the Cavs win, they will take the season series against last year’s Eastern Conference Finalist 3-1.
Tip off is scheduled for 8:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes and nationally on NBATV, Go Cavs!
I don’t often bag on the refs, but tonight?
They. Are. Ass.
ANOTHER HUGE CARIS DEFENSIVE PLAY
THERES FIVE HEAT IN THE PAINT, SOMEONE FLASH FOR THREE
How’s that a jump ball?
I see you workin, JA!
ALLEN!!!!
It’s not that effing hard to inbound the effing ball.
Oob plays. WTF.
Weak side ice! Again!
Ice Ice Baby!
Ice has been solid
THANK YOU OKORO!
being outscored 13-2 in the first 4 min of the 4th… sigh
Ooto turnover. Why is Ricky still in?
Cuz Neto is on the shit list!
Going to need Spida to bring it home
Sloppy
Rubio getting his own shot too much and not getting assists without DM
pretty make-or-miss run there – i dont think we’re doing anything wrong just had some bad luck and heat had good luck
Think the pace was a little fast.
JB rode Ricky too long.
I doubt the Cavs will have Kevin love in to bail them out this quarter.
3 3’s so far for Miami this quarter.. and Cavs are settling for 3’s
Need Cedi. But I bet JB won’t play him.
Cedi’s the only player in positive plus/minus territory, Rubio -12
JA +13, Okoro+9, Cedi +4 and Mitchel +3.
bench player
Okoro clearly fouled.
Oh man Cavs are just gifting this to Miami. Back to basics.
PUT IN CEDI JB
Okoro late with that xontest
and blew the dunk, tough sequence
We lost the lead 🤦♂️
since going up 84-70.. we have been outscored 23-9 in the last 6-7 min.
Thoughts and prayers
WOW nice pass LeVert, Rubio just couldn’t hit
Gonna need Mitchell in soon
He is in.
he was already in.
Oops
LeVert said!
CARIS WHAT A PLAY ON DEFENSE
Caris defensive play of the night
Basically both teams are mainly shooting 3’s this quarter
Weak side ice has been fantastic.
FT woes
Let Llama cook!
Heat are 7-12 in the 2nd half on 3’s after being 3-11 in the 1st half…
Cavs are 5-14 in the 2nd half.
Lamar gets a call!
Oladipo 😂😂😂
We dont need Cavs only shooting 3’s now.. we need some looks inside..
12-5 run by Heat in the last 3 min (after we went up 84-70) .. we need to start the 4th quarter good..cant continue giving up the momentum.
Heat somehow won that q by 2
Solid quarter after the timeout. Now just gotta survive the Mitchell bench minutes.
4th gonna be a war
LOLadipo steals a shot from Jimmy! And bricks!
GREAT DEFENSE SPIDA
Jimmy gonna have to play the whole game.
Jim Chones apoplectic about the referees
Lol.
Thanks for the edit Nate – typing on the move 🤪
What was Rubio doing there?
Executive decision after the good ball denial on Mitchell
RUBIO STARTING TO HIT SHOTS FINALLY
Big shot Jimmy buckets.
Butler has come alive, Cavs need to step up
Close the q
CARIS CLUTCH

Lmfao that call. Refs Pitying miami
THATS A MOVING SCREEN REF
Man, that was some moving screen
Dumb call against Rubio
DONOVAN MITCHELL EN FUEGO
Zeller looks like he has a handle on top of his noggin..

Ricky three!
Nice pass and cut and finish by Okoro.
Cav. A. Lanche.
