Preseason Live Thread: Bulls @ Cavs, The Rematch
2021-10-10Good evening CtB!
The Chicago Bulls come to the shores of Lake Erie for a preseason rematch against the Cavs. Chris Fedor of cleveland.com reporting that Sexland will not be available tonight:
#Cavs Darius Garland and Collin Sexton to miss tonight's preseason game, moving Ricky Rubio and Lauri Markkanen into the starting lineup with Isaac Okoro, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen vs. Chicago, sources tell @clevelanddotcom. https://t.co/bJWCqoTlQA

Fedor hints at the notion that the coaching staff wants to get Isaac Okoro going by starting him at the shooting guard position, and it will also be their second look at Lauri Markkanen at the small forward slot. Sexland’s absence will also mean a look at the scramble for the end of the bench and two way roster spots. Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM ET, and broadcasted on Bally’s Sports Ohio. Go Cavs!!!
recap article posted so hop on over if you’d like!
Nice CLF, live thread looks like a real contest – – plus some preseason randomness (Cedi in crunch time etc)
yeah, pretty much all rotation players for the Bulls thru three plus quarters solid, pretty much same for Cavs outside of Pangos most likely.
Just got back from fishing and caught both of this weekend’s game. Mobley looked amazing, my big three lineup looked playable, and the Cavs looked (much) better without Sexland.
100% agree.. and hell yeah sounds like a great weekend!
so.. the takeaway is, obviously, trade both sexton AND garland.. package ’em both up and move ’em out..
no way, just move them to the bench and make them earn it!!!
they’re talented, they just don’t know how to play team basketball yet. They should’ve never been handed starting jobs, it’s a ridiculous way to run any basketball team much less an NBA team
none of these pampered multi-millionaire children could accept the demotion.. they really would just become full-time check-cashers.. trade them and bring in some hungry brothers who have paid their dues, know their trade, “good, but not great” pros who are happy to play team bball and can help the multi-tower thing the cavs are trying to do.. sell them for the huge “potential” they will be manifesting in the next few years.. cavs are still many years away from being elite.. and never will be with sexland.. don’t get stuck paying huge salaries to either of them.. that is a… Read more »
Really nice game from Mobley. (again) Nice to watch a competitive game after that first boat race against the Bulls.
nice to see competent guard play, Sexland shit needs to end!! LMFAOOO
Lauri at the 3 looks pretty damn good!!! That’s two games in a row!
Gotta bounce, been fun to do this again CLF!
Have a great rest of your day Simmo!!!
Why would Cedi have the ball there??
I don’t know I haven’t been paying attention the last little bit.
but the Chicago announcers were roasting his defense, didn’t stay on the Ayo’s strong hand.
PANGOS THREE FOR THE LEAD!
Mobley with a double double, 5 stocks, 4 assists, +5 plus/minus…. he’s ridiculous
Cavs D seems better prepared than I expected. That or Chicago are a step slow.
Chicago took the night off, but Lauri at the 3 is the big difference.
MOBLEY BULLY BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!
WINDLER!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD KEEP SEXLAND ON THE BENCH!!!!
MOBLEY WHAT A PASS TO LAURI!!!!!!!!!!
