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!
Lets go on and win those two in Charlotte, and then come home and win against Philly and Washington.
Cedi not playing the second half was idiotic, especially when Allen went out.
By my count Ricky played 18 straight game minutes. Am I wrong?
I hope DG is not out for the other games.. we really need him out there.. especially if JA misses any games..
Okoro and Caris stepped up tonight though, both with 16 pts.
Another hard fought game. No DG. JA out in the fourth. Can’t complain. Onward
Definitely complaining about the lack of shooting on the floor.
Little things and lapses tonight. Credit the heat for making some tough shots
Love with a push on that intentional miss
he might be the sneakiest of all time at getting away with stuff like that. just masterful at it.
now they’re not gonna let us shoot a three, gotta miss one and tip it.
Costly period of defensive lapses in the 3rd.
all 2nd half.
100%
Cavs let the Heat shoot 61% in the 2nd half and 11/19 from 3.
Cavs defense held Miami to 41% in the 1st half with 3/11 from 3.
Gassed because JB is going full Thibs.
And with potentially less players on Sunday, I hope he stretches the rotation a bit, even if its 5-8 min for Neto and DWade.
Cavs gave up 69 points to the Heat in the 2nd half.. sigh.
I don’t hate going for the two with this amount of time left.
Spida is so fucking clutch. What a gift to have a winning time mofo
Freaking closer.
Hard foul on Mitchell
Don’t need a three yet, sure bucket and foul
MITCHELL/CARIS PICK AND POP LETS GO
You have to put Cedi in here.
no chance LMFAOOOOOOO
They don’t.
Jimmy buckets.
WE NEED A MITCHELL THREE
OR CARIS
Ricky! What a pass
RUBIO WITH THE OUTRATTING THE RATS LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
MOBLEY SMASH
Stevens getting over screens has been superior.
Good. Lord. Mitchell.
WE NEED THREES WHAT ARE WE DOING
They got time.
Not anymore LMFAO
This feels like overtime.
Herro says no.
Passed up the easy 2 for an outside shot. Dumb gets you beat…
Mobley you have to shoot that!
DUNK THE BALL MOBLEY WTF
Mobley too unselfish
Big shot by Strus unfortunately…
How about ROLO on to take out Butler? An eye for an eye.
What would Ed Davis do?
We have 3 min to get some stops and tie and take the lead and steal this one.
WHAT A PASS LEVERT, RUBIO REDEMPTION ARC YOU OWE THE TEAM
Clutch shot by Ricky!
Ricky finally
Cavs offense went to shit after we were up 84-70… 35-14 run by the Heat.
Someone jack Butler or Bam in the face.
Stevens a second late
WHY IS STEVENS IN
Because JA is in the locker room
DUMB REASON
Le3ert!
CARIS SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN BENCHED JB YOU STUPID BOZO
Cavs missed 4/15 this quarter (27%) …Heat 9/14..
Cavs radio: “Such a lot to overcome”.
Are the radio games archived anywhere? Seem to disappear as choice on League Pass shortly after game finishes
COMMON FOUL??? FIX IS IN
Rubio played 14 straight minutes. This is insane.
Another eye injury
WTF? That’s a common foul?!?!?
Garbage.
That has to be a flagrant
THROW BAM OUT HES A PUNK
Rubio 3 ball this season still not back to last season’s standard…
That should be a flagrant
JB trying to kill the starters ?
YES
If Rubio is on the floor we’ve lost.
Ugh now Allen is injured
Cavs outscored 23-9 this quarter
Rubio on the floor for like 14 straight game. Minutes.
why is the corpse of ricky rubio still out there?
9 POINTS IN 4TH QUARTER PLAY SOME OFFENSIVE PLAYERS JB
Really missing DG now.. barely could have anyone else score if DM is missing shots.
JB LOST THIS GAME WITH HIS IDIOTIC DECISIONS
Welp. Bad Offensive execution and defensive miscommunication down the stretch here
THERE IS NOT ENOUGH SHOOTING ON THE FLOOR, JB!
This might be game?!?!?
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
The Mobley three drives me nuts. He’s shooting in the teens
THIS LINEUP IS IDIOTIC
WTF is this lineup?
TOTAL GARBAGE, BENCHED CARIS AND IT WENT TO SHIT!!!
WHY MOBLEY SHOOTING CONTESTED 3S????????? DUMB OFFENSE
Good. Lord, Spida
Too easy for Butler
CARIS + NETO = +6 IN OVER 200 MINUTES
CARIS + RUBIO = -12 IN OVER 200 MINUTES
YOU STINK JB GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS
Caris Saves!
GREAT JOB ICING CEDI JB, YOU DAMN BOZO
