Live Thread: Cavs @ Lakers
2021-10-29Good evening CtB!
It’s Friday night and the Cavs are in the land of Hollywood, to take on LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers for an “after hours” special. The Cavs are coming into the game riding high from a series of big time wins against serious playoff teams: the Atlanta Hawks, the Denver Nuggets, and the Los Angeles Clippers. The Lakers are struggling to get going and will be looking for a jump start.
The Russell Westbrook experiment is having a rough go, and LeBron and Anthony Davis are playing bad basketball. Nevertheless, Cavs fans should expect the Lakers to be desperate for a win, thus a stern test for the kids of Cleveland. It would not be surprising for the Cavs to experience a reality check, losing this game by double digits… that’s what the betting trends are indicating, granted yours truly sucks at gambling!
Tip off is 10:30pm ET on Bally’s Sports Ohio/Great Lakes.
Just posted the recap if you want to switch over
damn missed the rest of the game with family obligations, but they fought hard for 3 quarters, didn’t have enough in the 4th. brutal back to back, but seems like they can take a few lessons from tonight!
A big lesson they can take is that even a completely washed vet like Melo can stand at the arc and hit threes if they let him shoot them…
LMFAOOOO gotta love it, Carmelo Anthony saving the Lakers’ ass in the year 2021!! Who’d have thought????
just how far do they need to ride the stevens donkey ? before they discover that it ain’t a horse ?? do your job kolby.. there are shooter hiding in the weeds somewhere.. find one.. would osman or wade have been worse ? really ?
Suns in a little over 20 hrs. Oof.
Glad Cavs started the road trip with a couple of wins.
Not expecting much from that game…
Sexton with only 9 fgas? Wonder when the last time that happened was. Perhaps further proof they’re actively lessening his role.
0 points in the second half for Sexton — Love (speaking of lessened roles) also didn’t play in the 4th
16 points for Cleveland in the fourth quarter — 6 of which were garbage time threes by Denzel Valentine and Lamar Stevens!
Figured Lebron wouldn’t let the Cavs win this, not surprised…
Stevens comes through in the end!!!
Stevens finally cans a jumper — 3 points and the Cavs make it into triple digits
You think lebron thinking he could come back again in 2 years?
Yea, he’ll be here with his son
As long as he is signed for like 10-15 mil a year at that age and we draft his kid because he is good and not a legacy, sure.
A few more of our shots go in, this coulda been a blowout W. It happens
We have had some nice breaks and some godawful jv worthy ones tonight. We have no one that is a good and CONSISTENT three point shooter on the entire team. Not one. No one that is consistent really at all, let aline being a good shooter.
JB waving the white flag
Weak ass shiz, Lauri
Horrible start to break by dg though.
Great game to learn from
Lights out.
Tomorrow gonna be brutal.
Good effort for 3.5 quarters.
Yeah, feels like that.
Boooo
Be nice if love could shoot threes like Anthony.
Melo killing us. FFS, don’t leave him anymore. Not tonight.
Melo blows, but yeah, he can hit open threes….not sure why we’re giving him so many…
Anthony turned the game around in the third.
Yep. And a timely one early 4th, IIRC.
Fts failing us tonight.
In the bonus with 4:22 left is the only way we can come back, if we actually are agressive
One of the few things Mobley could be better at is FTs…
Damn, this Lakers team is trying hard! Cavs making them work tonight. Love it
Come on Evan, make thise FTs.
Yep. Down 9. Still time.
JB gonna have to play more than 8 guys tomorrow.
Cabs getting out executed.
ouch
Execution on both ends just not there
Rebound the dang ball
Falling apart
Brush screen is an o foul. Just saying. Every team uses it but it is bs.
stevens is the best cavs can do ???? why is that ?
We have cedi and the bird boned Windler who is essentially a rookie and we didn’t sign any true wings.
so throw wade in .. the rest of the bench is that bad ?
Against this particular team maybe, though definitely could have used the faint possibility of wades shooting
Stevens laying an egg at the offensive end this game.
to say the least…
Darius!
Sexton needs so much time to load up. Stevens brutal brutal brutal
1st time mobley over 20
Stevens. Go home.
Stop giving Melo looks from 3, plx….it’s all he can do, literally…
Melo killin’ us.
DG had his legs under him that time, looked much better as it left his hands
Ice cold dg ice cold
DG 911 3!
Reeves has played well but that last possession was ass
Stevens great d.
Now that looked the a play I expected from reeves
Nice D, Lamar…
More of that. Lull them to sleep
Russ doing his best sexton
Can only hope it rubs off on him!
Seriously that was an incredible block
Allen with ridiculous d two plays in a row.
Free throws win games DG
Boy could use mark hitting some treys
Gotta think they start falling eventually
Liked DG’s aggression there…
More of that please
My god what a block!!!! Reminded of lbj on dwight in 2009.
Lauri gotta find his range
Big block by JA!
YB block! Huge!
Stevens is +3 on the night.
Lakers made that run with LeBron on the bench?
how could anyone be worse than 13minutes 0-5 ?
