Live Thread: Celtics @ Cavs
2023-03-06Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome the Boston Celtics to the shores of Lake Erie for a major Eastern Conference matchup with both teams desperate to stack wins as the regular season comes to a close. The Celtics lost a double overtime heartbreaker to the New York Knicks, whereas the Cavs are coming off an easy win against the Detroit Pistons. Jayson Tatum, Al Horford, and Robert Williams III will be unavailable, but their roster is probably the deepest in the NBA and can easily pull off the upset road win. The Cavs will have to play their A-game if they want to come away victorious, and especially Tower City for that matter given how they laid an absolute egg last week.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, Go Cavs!

Grant telling Donovan “Imma make both”
I am enjoying the Boston Schadenfreude
They have to be melting down about this one. The Knicks game last night + the blown 28 vs the Nets.
Gotta think Lamar might be moving up the rotation a bit. Hate to say it but my man Deaner has been doing cardio out there
I’d bench Rubio before Wade, at least Wade has a track record of producing this season.
You’re totally full of shit I see right through you, you’ve constantly gone after me with insults and now that I’m standing up for myself you’re crying like a victim, I’m just giving you exactly what you’ve given me.
Maybe but it’s been a minute. Rubio has definitely looked off, I think Cavs are just hoping he eventually gets back tho
I deleted the abusive thread between u and Jason Cuz this is supposed to be a pleasant beach community.
Thank you.
I thought this was a nudist colony? I f’ed up again!
Ha-Ha! I was trying to think of something to say here, but you did it
Is this a joke?
he hasn’t scored in 3 games.. 0-5 FG/3PT in 40 minutes.
and the last time he hit 3 FG was on February 8th.
Gutsy win .. we were down 102-91 (11 pts) at the 5:26 mark and went on a 18-7 run to end regulation.
Now let’s hope the Cavs don’t get the Miami flu!
sigh.. lets see.. we need to win.. Miami won tonight against the Hawks.
B2B wins against the Hawks for Miami. Trae obv got the Miami flu
It helped that they didn’t play Love.
I give JB credit for going away from JA tonight. For whatever reason, he did not have it tonight.
He was loyal to the team, not the player. As a coach should be.
Cavs 4th Quarter:
31 pts
11-23 FG
3-8 3PT
6-7 FT
8 OFF rebounds (19 total) – 5 by Lamar
Pts in the paint: 16 (8/12)
2nd chance points: 14 (5/6)
Fast Break Points: 8 (3/5)
Those 2nd chance points helped us win this game.. despite our complaining about Boston’s o boards.. we had 16 and they had 15.
Mitchell iced Grant Williams from the line, like LeBron did to Gilbert Arenas, in the playoffs.
So did DG.
“Made up their mind they were not gonna lose.” LOL. Grant Williams gifted em a win.
Both things are true.
Stevens +18 in 17 min (8 rebounds (6 offensive) and 8 pts)….
One of his best ever games. Maybe his best. Cavs could have used a lot more of that all game long.
Marcus smart is the all time king of the flop. No one will ever get close. It actually makes him a way worse player too cuz he is strong as an ox.
Can’t stand him. He used to be a terrible player until he actually became a decent three point shooter. But he’s still a garbage flopper.
Back to 1.5 game up on the Knicks!
It’ll be 1 game tomorrow when the Knicks play the Hornets
Rooting for the Hornets then.. until we play them back to back after..
Gotta give JB credit for putting in Llama.
JA a no show but Mar stepped up!
That was… Wild.
RIDE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT !
Lol amazing work
lmaooo
Gutty win, but I kind of hated watching it…
Completely understandable.
A win is a win…. but we def got some help tonight
Love seeing the emotion from Donovan.. we needed this win soo bad
Dodged a bullet!
We got lucky as hell Williams missed those FTs.
Still, nice fightback. Too bad it took us 44 minutes to start playing.
Seems to be happening often
agree.. We need to come out with better energy/effort on the road.. the 6th man (home crowd) wont be there to help.
Wow I can’t believe we won that 😅😅😅
so much stress.. glad we won at the end of it all.. now I’m being greedy.. lets go on a 5 game win streak and win 4 on the road. .. let this win fuel us!
Holy shit. I’m not going to make it to the end of this game.
How does Mazzala get them to challenge that? Without any challenges?
Dumb by Mobley!
agree!
Game subtitle…
Thank goodness JB went to the Llama instead of Wade/Cedi.
Feel like he did this the other day with same results
Mitchell & Stevens are the two DAWGS on the team. No one else really close. I am not saying Stevens should start or anything, but he brings some GRIT that Okiro, Wade, & Cedi don’t. Some nights we need that. Tonight was one of those nights. Though the b2b helped us at the end.
The 3 wins over the Celtics have all been wild.
DG SHOWING HIS STONES
One stop Cavs and no offensive rebounds.
Don’t foul a 3 point shooter! Don’t foul a 3 point shooter!
Tempting the monkey paw big time there…
So…… Lamar eh ?!?
DG money at the line!
Smart play Garland.
Come on DG !
make those free throws DG.
Insane finish brown
Wow!!!
GD it. Muscala was oob too
Yeah, lazy call from a trash ref.
man stevens had that ball and lost it on the oboard.
Lamar!!!
The Stevens game…
Great find by Levert!
LET CARIS COOK!
Just give it to Llama!!!!
lets score now again
Stevens monster 3
LLAMA 33333!!!!!
I’d love to see DG nail some shots…
this is his chance on the line.
spida tired.. need that energy/break to get us over the hump.
Come tf on. Get the ball to Mitchell.
Thank you.
SPIDA SLAM!!!
Shoulda been and 1
Soooo freaking fun to watch
My fav player now.
Bad turnover
Not a good start.
We either foul 3-point shooters or leave them wide open. There’s no middle ground.
Bad contest by Mobes
bad and slow foul by Mobley..
Not so Smart
AIRBALL!!!
I think Luke Walton was just scolding JB!
We cannot lose this game. Llama will not let us.
Wow
Hard to believe he missed both, and they still nearly tipped it in. Can’t say I’m enjoying this at all.
Why isn’t that a foul on Smart? Caris should be at the line
We need DM to lead us to the finish line..
Lordacious the Cavs don’t deserve overtime here, but they got it.
HAHA. CHOKE
we almost loss on a Oboard make by Smart though..
OT let’s go!!!!
OMGGGGGG!!!!
Lol holy shit
Wow he missed both!!!
Llama giveth and llama fouleth us away
