Live Thread: Cavs @ Bulls
2020-01-18Cleveland lost a close one last night, and heads to Chicago tonight to take on the Bulls. No injury report out for Cleveland yet, but I’d be surprised if we saw both Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson. For the Bulls, Thomas Satoransky is out while Chandler Hutchison, Lauri Markennan, and Ryan Arcidiacano remain probable. Daniel Gafford, Wendell Carter Jr., Otto Porter Jr., and Max Strus are all out for extended periods. The injury bug has hit Chicago hard, and they only have wins against Washington and Detroit in their last 10 games.
The Bulls lost to the Cavs 117-111 in October, and with this game and two more on deck before the end of the year, I’m sure the Bulls will be hungry for a victory. A win to close out the road trip would be a nice bookend for Cleveland too. The back-to-back looms hard though. We’ll see what happens. I predict a Cleveland squeaker as both these teams stumble to the finish line. Go Cavs!
THINK WE ARE SAFE WITH OUR DRAFT PICK BEING PRETTY DAMN SURE LOVE OR T.T. OR BOTH WILL SOON BE TRADED CREATING A GIANT GAP IN US BEING EVEN REMOTELY COMPETITIVE
Our pick in top 10 protected, so if we finish bottom 6 there is no way we lose it. Wins:
10 = GSW, ATL
11 = NY
12 = Cavs
13 = Wiz
————–
15 = Hornets, Kings, Wolves
16 = Bulls, Pels, Pistons
———-
18 = Blazers, Suns, Spurs, Nets (PO)
I think we are safely bottom 6 for the moment. I could see us gaining on Charlotte. That is about it. Though if we stop turning it over 25 times a game, who knows?
Combo of the TOs & running out of gas. 25+ TOs is pathetic.
” AROUND ” THE NBA ——CULVER REALLY PLAYING GOOD FOR TIMBERWOLVES LATELY—STILL AM HAPPY WITH GARLAND ———IS D ROSE CLOSE TO PLAYER HE USED TO BE / REINVENTED HIS GAME / HAVING A NICE SEASON FOR THE PISTONS ——–NO MATTER HOW YOU FEEL / YOUR OPNION ON LEBRON— WHAT HE IS DOING AT THE AGE OF 35 ARE PRETTY AMAZING
NOT SAYING THIS IS THE REASON THEY LOST—–TOO MANY T.O.’S / WILL NEVER = A ‘W” —-BUT LATE PLANE TRIP / ARRIVAL DIDN’T HELP—–WHERE IS HENSON / ANTE / NO MIN’S FOR EITHER ??
Henson was out with some strain or something, I think…
Super glad I missed this one completely. Hope it’s the low point of the season.
First half was great, 3rd quarter was fine, Cavs looked like a High School team most of the 4th…
The Bulls have one of the better defenses in the NBA… scoring 116 with a 114 offensive rating is great.
The Bulls have one of the worst offenses in the NBA, why are they giving up 118 points??? A 116.8 defensive rating for the game is a joke. Cavs making the Bulls look like a Milwaukee Bucks’ offense.
The Cavs let them shoot 55% from the field, and gave up 62 points in the 2nd half.
Hard to win if you have 14 more turnovers than your opponent.
Wow, I turned off to have dinner with family at end of the third, WTF? Tank? I can’t imagine what they did. They were up 17 I think.
Threw passes to Bulls every possession…
Bad for the “team culture”. The vets should be ashamed of themselves.
Jesus. What a crap show.
Losing this game was ridiculous…Cavs should have won by 25…
TO!
No one wants this one.
Let’s see if we can execute a foul here. Fingers crossed.
Wow…Bulls throw it away…
Cedi 3 gives them a chance…
Cedi. Big triple.
