Live Thread: Cavs @ Hornets
2022-02-04Good evening CtB!
Tonight, the Cavs are in the Queen City to take on LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets. This game will be the third matchup of the season for these two teams, splitting the first two games. Charlotte is also desperate for wins trying to fend off surging Eastern Conference teams such as Atlanta and Boston for play-in position. The Cavs are desperate for their own wins to keep their name in the conversation for the playoffs and top seed in the East.
Unfortunately, Darius Garland has been ruled out with the back injury. Expecting the Cavs to win tonight is probably unrealistic. But if the Cavs can maintain the scrap and fight, that will give them a chance to win down the stretch, which is all you can ask for.
The game will be an interesting contrast of styles. The Hornets are an elite offensive team, the Cavs are an elite defensive team. The previous two games were really dictated by the Cavs’ ability to get clutch stops. The Cavs can score on the Hornets, but will they be able to buckle down the high flying circus that is LaMelo Ball and the Hornets’ offense? Tune in and find out…
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM ET and will be broadcasted on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, GO CAVS!
Is it possible to have more respect for Love right now?

Ha! Love the Basketball Jones. Tas has been high on Cavs all season.

I’m with you, Ja…
YEP CLF —-WOOF–WOOF WOOF RIGHT WITH YOU !!!
Dean Wade played 32 mins tonight. He got 1 rebound. Had one assist but 2 turnovers. Had 8 very meaningful points.
But he was +2 on the night. 1 of only 4 cavs to finish in the positive. I know two things: he is a genuinely good defender…and he was on the floor with Allen and Mobley and Love a lot who combined for 39 boards lol. 40 boards between the four of them haha.
Love JA so much. On the short list for best guy in the NBA.
A few games back he was asked to sketch Ohio from memory and did a pretty darn good sketch…with an Afro over top of it. Haha that dude will be a fan favorite as long as he is here
When his playing days are over, I can easily see him occupying a Richard Jefferson/Channing Frye-type existence…
ALL STAR JA GREAT INTERVIEW WITH SERENA——KIS IS SO MATURE // WELL SPOKEN !!
Cavs survive torture test. Great win against the world.
Go back to trimmin’ beards at your bespoke barbershop, James Borrego. Go back to dyin’ your do, Kelly Oubre. Go cry in your Lamborghini, Lamelo. Cuz Kevin Love said GOOD NIGHT, CHARLOTTE!
WOOF WOOF WOOOFFFFFFFF
“IT’S TIME FOR WAR ” !!!!—F-U-C-K THESE REFS !!!!
Still pissed even with the W
If they don’t get awarded 4 points in the middle of the 4th we likely win this one by double digits. That changed everything.
In case anyone check out early… the Cavs still won!
HOF KLOVE !!!!!!
TALK TO EM NOMAD
GOT DAMN THAT DUB FEELS GOOD!!!!!!
We shall overcome!
It is BHM, after all.
KLove and Allen were the twins of doom for Charlotte in this one, whew
JB should demand that those referees never officiate a Cavs game again
REST IN PISS REFS YOU WILL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST GLORIOUS CAVS FRANCHISE!!!
Forever and ever amen.
Wooot!!! Good god glad that one is over
That was GRITTY
Good night suck town
lol what a fitting ending
Some Justice at least…
Start barking, people.
Sorry for the language, but fuck these guys. Cavs deserved the win and got it, but fuck these guys.
That’s unacceptable!
I mean the refs nonsense!
It’s entirely appropriate language and not at all gratuitous.
you speak for us all, MikeO
Lol I am still in disbelief
BIG BOY CLUTCH
They’ll find a way to call a foul on the last play. Watch.
paging Jerry Colangelo……..Jerry Colangelo!!!!!!
This whole game should be cancelled. the fact that the hornets announcers are up in arms after the travesty that occurred 3 mins earlier is hilarious
Clutch free throws
Cavs should be up 5
RESPECT THE CHAMPION, KEVIN LOVE
James Borrego needs to go back to cuttin hair at his bespoke barber shop after that BS.
In your face REFS!!!!
Wow! KLove. Now will Brian Forte mail a 3 again?
Come on Kev.
Yes.
refs might as well ruin this by giving kev free throws. 2 wrongs don’t make a right…but do 12?
WIN OR LOSE THIS GAME HAS TO BE REVIEWED JUST FOR THE INTEGRITY OF LEAGUE STANDPOINT
Lol. This is a dumb challenge. They’re just icing love. He should be out practicing freebies.
What a bunch of bullshit this is
Unreal

def a foul before buzzer went off
Love, baby!
Still had a chance.
Bitter pill.
I might protest this one.
absolute atrocity of a ballgame. holy hell.
This game needs to be reviewed by the NBA. Absolute atrocity
Heads need to roll. I am deadly serious.
Ugh get outta here Oubre
Dear Zebras, I’m headed to Charlotte with a bag full of batteries.
Tad slow on the rotation.
In trouble now
I don’t generally complain about refs, but this kind of incompetence absolutely has to be punished. There is a lot at stake in these games.
Nothing like giving up 40 in the 4th.
And getting refballed horribly.
Cavs getting absolutely robbed
WTF MOBLEY WAS FOULED OH MY GOODNESS
NATE YOU ARE ON FIRE WITH YOUR POSTS TONIGHT —LOVING IT !!!!—–LOVE A “FIRED ” UP NATE !!!!
Might as well let Plumlee stay in with 6 fouls, rules don’t matter anymore
Eat leather, Edelweiss!
“IT’S TIME FOR WAR ” !!!!!!!
refs took over this game. gotta finish
EXCLAMATION POINT ALLEN – PUT HIM IN THE ASG
IN YOUR FACE PLUMLEE. SEE YOU LATER
Allen with a big f@ck you to everyone right there
MOBLEY TO ALLEN IN YOUR FUCKING FACE!!!!!!
How the f is that a foul on Goodwin?
totally crazy
Finally JA gets a foul call…first time all night…
JA dunk baby !!!!
See ya Plumlee… now go clone some more sheep!
Ha haaaaa!!!!
