Whoops! Forgot about the game! Big fundraiser tonight for high school bowling! Realized the game was on when I stopped to get a pitcher at the bar! This is the kind of professionalism you expect from CtB, so apologies for the late copy. It’s 24-20 right now so looking good so far. Go Cavs!
Stunned by this news. This is a bitter pill for all bball fans.
RIP Kobe. Taken to soon. Along with the others.
RIP to the Mamba – such a tragedy. A global basketball icon and leaves behind a tremendous legacy.
Was just scrolling through his Instagram, which was essentially almost entirely filled with pictures/videos of his daughters. Just awful news.
THIS MAY SEEM LIKE A VERY AWKWARD COMMENT / POST ——–LEBRON HAS TO BE DEVASTED / GOING THRU SO MANY EMOTIONS AS HE JUST SURPASSED KOBY YESTERDAY AND TOLD HOW MUCH HE IDOLIZED / RESPECTED HIM …………CAN SEE THE LAKERS DEDICATING THE SEASON TO KOBY / WINNING A CHAMPIONSHIP FOR HIM ……….SORRY IF THESE COMMENTS SEEM OUT OF PLACE
CANNOT BELIEVE THE NEWS ABOUT KOBY —–WHAT A TRAGEDY —–TAKE EACH DAY ONE DAY AT A TIME / LIVE IT TO ITS FULLEST —YOU NEVER KNOW ——R.I.P. KOBY AND THE OTHER VICTIMS —-PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL !!!!!!
Jesus. Crazy. Very few celebrity deaths hit me, but this is crazy. So sad. RIP kobe and everyone else killed in the crash.
Kobe is dead! Didn’t like him as a player, the opposite is true, but I am sincerely sad about his death. Shows how fragile everything is. RIP.
Seems like his daughters were killed in the crash too. So tragic. I am devastated right now.
I wouldn’t trust any speculation like that. He has 4 daughters, two much younger, but there is going to be a lot of BS spewing from various ‘sources’ in the next few hours….not a Kobe fan in the least, hope none of the passengers were his daughters…
Sorry. Didn’t mean to gossip. I don’t want to spread any fake news. I also hope I m wrong.
No, I wasn’t calling you out…just saying there is going to be a lot of crap floated out there…TMZ is now reporting his 13 year old daughter was on board, fwiw…
RIP Kobe!
Didn’t catch this one. Seems like a good thing I didn’t.
YEAH WAS NOT REFERIING TO LOVE / T.T. AS THE PROBLEM –BUT THEY ARE THE PRIMARY INTEREST AT TRADE DEADLINE —–IF WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE COMPETITIVE WITH BOTH OF THEM WE MIGHT AS WELL ‘PURGE ‘ THE SYSTEM AND START OVER ESPECIALLY IF THERE ARE SOMEWHAT POSITIVE OFFERS FOR THEM ——AND YES SEXTON HAs ” MANY WARTS BUT HE IS ONLY 21 / 1.5 YRS IN THE LEAGUE / THINK YOU STILL TRY TO ‘COACH HIM UP —-ADJUST HIS GAME ” —-STILL TOO EARLY TO GIVE UP ON —-JUST MY OPINION
Depends on what you consider a positive offer. At this point the major asset coming back for love may just be cap space. As for TT, I expect he might at most fetch a couple seconds. May not be much of a market for either.
DIDN’T WATCH THE GAME OR EVEN REPLAY –( WAS ONE OF THE FORTUNATE ONE’S )—-BUT GUESS WE MADE LAVINE LOOK LIKE THE 2ND COMING OF M JORDAN ——-IF WE ARE GOING TO GET DRUBBED EVEN WITH LOVE / T.T. ON THE TEAM– IF THERE ARE ANY HALF WAY GOOD DEALS OUT THERE FOR BOTH OF THEM WE MIGHT AS WELL ‘ PULL THE PLUG ‘ START ALL NEW —-ANY THOUGHTS ??
The reason we get drubbed is not Love/TT, it is Sexton & Garland, TOs, lack of effective wing play, & bad defense.
Agree. Pull the plug. Get rid of Sexton.
The Cavs have little in the way of rim protection, and little in the way of good perimeter defenders, so a guy like LaVine has a great chance of lighting them up…it is what it is…
Hey thanks Simmo for the intel on this game!
Haven’t caught a few of the recent games, but I did bet on Chicago at +1.5 this game LOL. It appears again, that the defense and turnovers are the main problem. Cavs shot well (50% from the field, 43% from 3), passed well (30 assists), outrebounded Chicago (47-44)…. the turnovers were awful and everybody was getting in on the act (8 turnovers for the bench alone). And the Cavs allowed one of the worst offenses in the NBA to shoot over 50% from the field, lost the fast break points battle by a 2 to 1 margin, and gave up… Read more »
We should trade Sexton. Or not start him.
It is hard to root for a team that is not trying to win.
Chicago commentators tearing into Sexton. They recognize that he is a talented offensive player, but “ Unconscionable turnovers“, “ Shoot first mentality“, “ Playing as point card but he’s not a point guard“. Think they have his measure.
Probably because Coby White has a similar game lol.
Love again. As if to demonstrate what a wasted opportunity this game is.
N Ice pass Collin t Nance…more of that please…
They finally get the ball to love on the perimeter for a catch and shoot and what do you know, he scores
His comment about Sexton is spot on too!!!
Wha happened?
LNJ to Henson high handoff alleyoop -hard to stop, more of that please
I’m on the Chicago feed, commentators seem to know a Cavaliers self-destructive qualities well. Not surprised at what’s happening. Also said about Sexton “ He can shoot you into the game, or shoot you out“.
Wheels falling off … hearing some boos…
TOs a significant problem
Cedi again!
2 quick assists from Cedi and the lead is back!
Great start to the 2nd half!
Sorry guys. Time for some nine pin no tap. Gotta bail.
Enjoy !!
Was that Garland that got blocked? Then spent the next couple of seconds behind the baseline complaining about it while the fast break played out. Bad sign.
3 TOs in just over a minute for Garland. Impressive.
They’re gonna let LaVine score 60, aren’t they?
Watching a guy sing Karioke (that’s Amore) in front of the TV while the Cavs play in the background. Very Stark County townie.
Italian bistro?
TO bug starting to bite. Mostly nice half.
Great recovery Delly to set up Love!
Delly is such a brilliant defensive player. Totally see him coaching some day.
Bad to Delly followed by a hustle play to get Kev a triple.
Lavine is such a wanker.
He’s not good, but he can score a ton for a garbage day team…
Delete ‘day’…hate typing on phone….
DG Curry three…
From Ashtabula! Garland triple!
Go go gadget triple!
Sweet hockey pass by Delly to Garland who hit a cutting Henson
Nice pass, Fonzie…
Junior for 3!!
Cavs started horribly unconfident shooting and passing. I step away for a few moments and they are up by 8 and looking fluid.
Boobie still in the building.
I don’t like LaVine much as a player, but he’s sort of the ideal bad team/ big stats/ high usage guy…
Passing off the charts on that McKinnie layup. Meanwhile Sexton nails one from Mentor!
