Live Thread: Pelicans @ Cavs
2023-01-16Good afternoon CtB!
The Cavs welcome the New Orleans Pelicans to the shores of Lake Erie for a Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day matinee performance between two of the elite teams in the NBA. The one downside to this premiere matchup is the fact that Herbert Jones, Zion Williamson, and Brandon Ingram will all be out with injury, so it will be the CJ McCollum and Larry Nance, Jr. show. In spite of those absences, the Cavs would be sorely mistaken to take these hospital Pels lightly.
What will the Pelicans try to do today? They like to push the pace, move the ball on offense, and crash the glass. That’s how they’ve ended up 6th in the NBA in offensive efficiency. The Cavs defense will have to control the pace, force turnovers, and box out in order to have any chance at a win.
Tip off is scheduled for 3:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, Go Cavs
MLK DAY BOOK RECOMMENDATION
Read his words, what he said and wrote. What stands out about the words of Dr. King was his consistently clear vision of what it means to be a good person, and how that clarity informed his political beliefs and action. R.I.P. Dr. King.

If Beasley was a few inches taller I’d be more willing to a trade w/ Caris. Not totally against it though.
