Live Thread: Cavs @ Celtics
2021-01-24Another day, another winnable game by the Cavs. The Cavs missed the Nets’ best player last game, and now they’ll dodge Jason Tatum tonight who’s out due to Covid protocols. Meanwhile, only Love and Delly remain the only regular roster players on the injury list.

Due to the Cavs’ front court dominance, they should be dumping the ball inside early to try to draw fouls on our old friend Tristan Thompson, who they most keep off the offensive boards. If there’s a guy I’m worried about tonight, it’s the underrated Robert Williams III, whose athleticism could give the Cavs’ some issues. But the big issue is Jaylen Brown who’s averaging 28.5 over the last four games in Tatum’s absence, to go along with Marcus Smarts 22.5 and 5.5 assists, and Kemba Walker who always gives the Cavs fits.
If the Cleveland can keep from turning the ball over and leading to easy baskets for the C’s their defense should keep the Celtics’ recently anemic offense under control. Does Collin Sexton get to 3000 points? Does he continue his 20 point streak? Does the decision to bring Darius Garland off bench hold a portent of the future? Does Tristan Thompson get up for facing his old team?
Again, Darius Garland remains on a minutes restriction against Boston. That’s why he’s coming off the bench.
You also don’t want to kill any momentum they have.

We’ll find out all of this and more over the next couple hours. It should be a good one.
Recap/LT up.
that sucks. not looking forward to JB putting Allen or McGee at the 4, even if Wade sucks.
?
FORGOT ALL ABOUT THE CAVS WERE PLAYING LAST NIGHT –( GUESS THEY FORGOT ALSO ) : – ) HOPE THIS ISN’T THE TEAM WE DREADED WE WOULD BE AT THE START OF THE SEASON
Was going off of 1-2 hours sleep from the night before, and was nodding off most of the first half before hitting the hay at half. I recall lots of Cavs turnovers and lots of Celtic open shots and making all of them. Good one to miss. Cavs may have been smelling themselves a little much, wasn’t surprised when the 2nd team was put in super quickly.
well, switching permanently to football…. shout out to all y’all who slogged thru this one!!!
Ciao CLF
have a great Monday Simmo!
As anyone seen Brad Stevens & Pete Buttigieg in the same place?
