Live Thread: Hawks @ Cavs
2021-10-23Good evening CtB!
A wounded Cavs team (per Chris Fedor, Darius Garland and Dylan Windler are out) faces the unenviable task of playing a sharp Atlanta Hawks in the second game of a back to back. The Hawks had a resounding win over the playoff-minded Dallas Mavericks on national TV.
#Cavs Darius Garland to miss second straight game because of sprained left ankle; Dylan Windler also remains outhttps://t.co/C93rSUOHex

The head of the snake for Atlanta is obviously Trae Young. It appears that the 10th pick of the 2019 NBA Draft Cam Reddish is poised for a breakout season in a bench scorer role. Gorgui Dieng is a key veteran pickup who paid immediate dividends Thursday night.
The tip off is scheduled for 6:00pm ET and CtB veteran Elijah Kim will be in the house for some extra mojo. GO CAVS!
Recap is up if you wanna hop over!
Man, Killian Hayes can turn it around, obviously, but he hasn’t really shown anything yet…
Man, Herro 30/10 in a game that might go to OT, after a huge first game. Maybe he’s back on the menu.
I WOULD SAY 3 GAMES IN—-MOBLEY LEADS IN THE ROY RACE —OF COURSE CADE HASN’T PLAYED YET
THINK THAT TALL LINEUP WILL BE FINE —STILL LEARNING ——HOPEFULLY LAURI WILL GET HIS SHOT BACK WHICH WILL MAKE HIM // TEAM MORE EFFECTIVE —–ALOT OF CUDOS FOR ICE ACCEPTING// EMBRACING HIS 6TH MAN ROLE
Just going by the stats, since I couldn’t watch, another ridiculous game from Mobley. 4 blocks.
Total team effort, but Rubio, Mobley, Love, Okoro led the way…. first half Sexton was good too, 2nd half Lauri was clutch
ENJOY LISTENING TO BRAD D —VERY GOOD INSIGHT —-SUPPORTED SEXTON NOT IN THERE IN THE CRUCIAL MIN’S ———REALLY LIKE THA 3-2 ZONE LOOK WITH MOBLEY ON TOP —-HIS ATHLETICISM/ LENGTH COVERS ALOT OF TERRITORY // GIVES TEAM TROUBLE WHEN USED SPARINGLY // AT THE RIGHT TIME
COMING IN LATE ——ABOUT 3 GAMES AGO !!! FOR RUBIO ( EXTENSION )
Might not be in Ricky’s plans…
yeah he’s either looking for a starting gig with a big payday or ring with a contender I’d assume
Midway thru the season when we can see whether or not he can consistently play like this.
looks like they fought for those rebounds this evening.. nice win..
6 Cavs in doubl efigures, held ATL to 95 points!!!! HELL YEAH!
Love and OKoro HUGE OFF THE BENCH!!! thank you for riding Okoro over Sexton JB!!!
Kudos to J.B. for riding the Rubio/Okoro/Love/Mark/Mobley/Allen lineup
Okoro needs to play. A lot.
FINALLY 34 minutes tonight!!!!
6 guys in at once! What a genie
LMFAOOOO it fluctuated between Mobley and Allen!
JB is clever indeed…
Whatever it takes
Good job, learning how to close it out.
I am shocked the Cavs took this game.
So this is the game the Bally wouldn’t let me watch? Really?
MOBLEY DAGGER CLOSEOUT CAVS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LUARI DAGGER REBOUND!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s looking good!
Look for a quick three here.
Great d Allen and Ice
Lauri u gotta lace it up!
ALLEN WITH THE STEAL!!!!!!!! GREAT HELP DEFENSE!!!!!
OH MY GOD YOU GOTTA MAKE THOSE LAURI!!!

Following on Gamecast (which sucks), and the clock seems to be flowing like frozen molasses…
taking forever LMFAOOOO as per usual for the NBA !!!!
Probably should’ve been a jump ball but a bit of a a makeup there.
RUBIO WITH THE HUSTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Garbage. (also a bad challenge)
Bs
JB gonna have to slap a b
Over with the perimeter favored reffing. Put the small guys in their traditional place and lets go back to physicality
That was bad d though. Big has to be closer to help.
