Live Thread: Cavs vs Mavs
2024-02-27The battle of the “avs” is brewing in the RMF as we celebrate Slovenian Heritage Night and the coming of Luka Doncic to the shores of Lake Erie. The Cavs are healthy sans Ty Jerome, while Luka will play despite getting clocked in the shnoz the other night. Only former Cav Dante Exum is out for Dallas. It should be a high scoring affair as Luka doesn’t guard anyone, while the tall Mavs will give Mitchell, Garland, and Strus trouble. Should be fun. Go Cavs!
This is going to be one of those losses where Donovan Mitchell gives a post game presser where he says he just didn’t bring it tonight and he’s gotta be better and so on and so forth
Take Spida off. Ay Okoro.
Can’t stop the DeRozan grift.
DeRozan with his foul hunting.
This is like a role reversal from the last game, Bulls hitting all their 3’s now.
This is where it would be beneficial to run more than a 9-man rotation.
sorry we have no one else on the bench
JA with a huge bucket.
Lead erased. Gotta start over.
Spida just standing around on defense; get him out
Bulls will win this.
Turnovers on ato plays. Ugh.
TO out of a TO. Bulls 3.
I might let Spida sit the stretch out tonight.
Caris, his defense is improved this year, but, damn, he still can’t deal with getting screened for all that quickness
he’s too jumpy on defense i think.
Ben Werth somewhere nodding
He reallly didn’t see that one coming at all.
Levert big in the 4th.. has 10 asts this game as well.
Caris on a heater.
11 pts, 11 asts and 7 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 steal.
Mitchell so sloppy with the ball last two games.
his assist to TO is like 0.5
It is like he is still sick.
Get it outta here!
CARIS SAY NO
Okoro so strong going to the basket
Lol jinx
Okoro so strong when he drives & shoots.
Allen with a bad two way seque ce.
Okoro should’ve pulled that
yep
DG in the zone…heat check? Ah, well we can’t all be Strus.
Beautiful dime Okoro to Garland.
These bulls announcers love batim and the other g-leaguer
I just can’t get enough Dean Wade defense in my life
Ice trey
Wade over Niang so far. Love it! Defensive intensity and rebounding. Plus offense running through Garland/Vert/Mobley as it should (and not have Niang’s wild forays to the hoop)
Nice run. Bulls a bit lazy to start the fourth.
lol 😝 I’ve never moved his feet that entire possession! I would bench every bulls player right now after that. Makes a good night into crap
Attaway Ice
Nice run to start the 4th.
LCC
Perfect start
Bullet dodged there. Another dime by Caris follows.
Be good to see some strong offense to start the fourth, build a buffer.
Interesting to see how the beginning of the 4th goes. We’ve won the minutes when bulls starters are out. See how things sit when the bulls starters come back in and what lineup JB will play
Solid close.
I missed the challenge results – was teh call overturned and made into a charge?
Failed challenge, but the call was changed to on the floor
Man thats crazy; he extended the forearm
No failed challenge. But they realized White shouldn’t have gotten an and1, so it went out of bounds to Bulls.
It was not a charge but they changed it to a foul on the floor.
Instead of a shooting foul.
Is JB actually realziing Wade has it this game and Niang doesn’t?
I think it’s a back to back thing?
JB is playing checkers. Fortunately so do the Bulls.
Geez, really looking to penetrate on that possession?
Garland has got to shoot that.
Patient offense. Great stuff.
Nice ball movement.
Looks like a charge but I honestly have no idea how the refs will legislate this? Feel like it’s gonna be a failed challenge.
Garland barely ever gets calls in his favor.. even as a all star.
Apologies for not getting new LT up.
No worries!
Yes, be chillin team!
You do yoeman’s work Nate. No apology needed.
yeoman’s? I can’t spell it..
I really don’t anymore (at least here) but thank you.
Jimmy Dean rattles it in!!!’
Gonna be a grind – hopefully we can start clearing the glass. Keep giving Wade minutes
Nice hustle okoro.
Shit guys I didn’t know there was a game tonight. I’m sorry.
Adapt and overcome! No problem!
It’s a good effort by Chicago. Playing a double drop zone? I don’t think anyone is playing that but we aren’t making them pay by hitting any shots.
Mitchell has taken nothing but threes tonight.
At least DG is having a nice offensive game.
Good to see him hit shots..
DeRozan the foul merchant
Watching Allen get sonned by Drummond has me fearing the playoffs again
Hitting shots also helps
Defense really locking in now.
JA has 3 rebounds in 17 min, unacceptable.
He struggles vs bigger dudes.
MY BAD —- MEANT 39
THERE NEEDS TO BE AN “ HIGH OCTANE/ INSPIRING “ CONVERSATION ABOUT REBOUNDING——- OTHERWISE PUT AN “ ASS CHEWING “
WHEN IS THE LAST GAME SAM MY MAN PLAYED “ LEGIT “ MINUTES ——ICE IS REALLY BECOMING A SOLID PRO ———CAVS HAVE GOT TO RESIGN HiM
JB just can’t go over that 9-man rotation.
Man, Okoro is just so impressive now. On and off the court. He’s focused and calm. Rapidly becoming my favourite Cav.
Bulls have 17 offensive rebounds we have 28 rebounds total (3 offensive). That is the game right there.. they are also getting to the line more 14FTA to our 4.
2nd Chance Points:
Cavaliers 9 (3/3),
BULLS 15 (5/13)
39-18 on the glass. Pathetic effort there.
BULLS PLAYED LAST NIGHT TOO——DRUMMOND REVENGE GAME
33/18 REBOUNDING EDGE——- GAFR 😡
39.
A couple of monster plays by Mobley
We’ve got 13 points this quarter. On a b2b and JB the clown coach wants to run his starters to the ground.
So I guess JB is going back to his 9-man rotations
Get Niang out of there
