Live Thread: Cavs @ 76ers
2019-12-07The @sixers say @J_Rich1 is out tonight @cavs and tomorrow but went through full court workout and “presented well.” No @JoelEmbiid tonight and we’ll know tomorrow 1pm if he faces @Raptors @NBCSPhilly

Meanwhile, Kevin Love has been upgraded probable (especially with Embiid out). In a national TV game, I’m betting the Cavs and he want to show out, if he does in fact want out. As far as I know only Dylan Windler remains on the injury list for Cleveland as he continues to rehab down in Canton. Let’s hope Tristan Thompson maintains his dominance of Al Horford. Go, Cavs!
‘DITTO”—BOTH WESTCOASTFAN / JOHNB …….AS FAR AS MY ALTERNATE T.V. VIEWING CHOICE—-“RE RUNS OF TOOL MAN ” : ) ——BUCK WHERE IN THE HELL ARE YOU—YOU ARE ALLOWED TO “RESURFACE ” —BELIEVE YOUR OPINIONS WILL BE MORE OPENLY RECEIVED ………….” MORE BEER PLEASE ” : )
The Cavs look worse than they did at the beginning of the season. Even though they were making mistakes, they were playing hard on D, moving the ball and trusting one another, especially leaning on their vets like TT and Love. Hell even JC was looking like a serviceable point guard and a high efficiency scorer. Somewhere Coach B lost them. I’m having a hard time watching the de-evolution to complete sh%@ show going on now. As some CtB’rs have mentioned, this “losing is ok” mentality is bad for the culture and bad for the fans. I’m happy to watch… Read more »
I have a strong feeling that there are major chemistry problems in the locker room. Considering their effort in the previous games, the love trade rumors, and apparently his recent comments, I suspect that won’t go away until he gets traded. Until then we’re probably in for some bad efforts. Unfortunate. I have to say the staff probably deserves a lot of blame, as I think his frustration probably stems from the guards hijacking the offense so much. Starting both was a mistake. Keeping them both in the starters was a mistake. Not completely emphasizing or game planning the offense… Read more »
HEARD KLOVE’S HONEST ASSESMENT COMMENTS—IS SPOT ON AND YES HE IS GONE —SORRY TO SEE HIM GO BUT IF HE HAS CHECKED OUT —WANTS TO BE ON A MORE COMPETITIVE TEAM –HE IS MOST DESERVING –BUT IN THE MEANTIME BOTH HE / CAVS HAVE GOT TO TRY AND SHOWCASE HIS TALENTS TO UP HIS VALUE SOME
Back under 20 win pace. Knicks/Cavs are the bottom 2 for sure.
Games like this are why I get nervous about going full re-build mode..I worry about the effect that “normalizing losing” has on the young players.
Do the Cavs win again in 2019?
At some point they’ll catch a few teams at bad times. But if they trade love, there is lockerroom discord, and/or problems between Beilein and players, I don’t think they’ll win more than 15 games. Something is going on in that lockerroom. Question is when or if it will be sorted out and what it will take to sort it.
There are probably a lot of guys pissed that two obviously poor players continue to start at both guard spots despite nit having the first clue how to initiate offense or play defense. They are rarely held accountable for poor play. They do not show signs of much progress. Those last two are related.
Cannot wait to see us draft Dion/Gummy Bear #2 this year.
Wait is there a specific overhyped prospect you’re talking about, or just a general cynicism regarding the Cavs management/draft record? Confess I haven’t watched college at all this year.
Ha. Yeah pretty ridiculous.
I really like how we are building Love’s value. Hey, let’s announce we are open to trading our most valuable asset & then not throw him the ball for two weeks.
Good plan.
Did not watch.
Are we trying and just stink really bad or has the coach lost the team?
I will keep watching this team and it’s (hopefully) development. Unless they bring I.T. back – that would probably do it for me.
God bless the staff of CtB. Cavs are my favorite team but taking a break for a few games. Can’t believe Koby was extended.
Worst loss I can recall. I would suggest combining this with another recap, or if recapping it, keep it short. Paragraph would probably more than suffice. Or a headline.
TIME TO GO BOWLING : )
Yezus. Just came from bowling. Saw the score. Wow. Brutal.
Thru 2 and 1/3 qtrs Philly is shooting 70% from the field and 52 % from 3. 70%. 70……..without Embiid.
Sounds like quite a game. Just shoot the recap into the Sun.
THINK EVERYONE –( LIKE ME )- HAS TUNED INTO THE BUCKEYES GAME ——OUCH !!
Didn’t know there was a game tonight. Guess that’s a good thing. Wowser.
” AND THE BEAT GOES ON “……” AND THE BEAT GOES ON ” ……..SOMEONE GET LONGINBARF OFF THE CAVS BENCH !!
WATCHED SOME OF THE CHARGE —WATCHING WINDLER PRIMARILY—HE REALLY MOVES WELL WITHOUT THE BALL–GREAT INSTINCTS TO GET OPEN / BASKETBALL I.Q. ……………..YEP LIKE T.T. SAYS —” ALL FOR ONE / ONE FOR ALL ” GOT TO HANG TOUGH / TOGETHER !!!
This has the potential to be the worst game this season…
Only able to keep one eye on the score, looks like a testing night for the lads. Stick together like TT says, it won’t be so bad. Go Cavs.
Captain bandaid ends the quarter on a high note!
Great defense Love.
BUCKEYES HAVE TO CRUSH WISCONSIN TO KEEP TOP SPOTWITH LSU BLOWING OUT GEAORGIA —-GO BUCKS …………..” MORE BEER PLEASE “
Not able to watch tonight, but if the Cavs somehow stay within around 1-14 most of the game, I’d say they played a heck of a game…
Slick pass from Sexton to TT.
Oops, it was from Garland
Finally! Love for 3.
Not the most promising start…
