Live Thread: Cavs @ Nets Part Two
2023-03-23Good evening CtB!
The Cavs wrap up their two game road series against the Brooklyn Nets along the shores of the East River as the Cavs have a chance to solidify their position as the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference, while the Nets will be in desperation mode to stave off the Miami Heat for the sixth seed. The Cavs were able to take care of business Tuesday night against Brooklyn even though they coasted for large stretches of that game, which is never a good idea given how it exposes guys to more chances for injury. Hopefully the Cavs show more sharpness tonight as they did in the Charlotte Hornets series in game 2.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:30PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, GO CAVS!
I’m up for some OT. Anyone else?
Okoro said “No.”
Insane sequence…and did Mitchell try to miss and win it but…missed?
He usually only tries that with less time on the clock I think? But it sure looked intentional.
That’s my same thought process.. make the free throw, defend and get to overtime..
I think he knew it was off that’s why he went for the rebound not perse that he shot it to miss intentionally.
AGREE SWEETCHIE ——-WOULD LOVE TO SEE ALOT OF MINUTES FOR GREEN/ NETO / WINDLER /WADE //MERRILL / ELDER MOBES // 3-A-KITE ——-/HELL MIGHT WELL LET ROLO GET SOME RUN 👍🍺👍🍺👍🍺👍🍺
Random note.. we have a 3 game winning streak, longest streak in the East.. Boston and a orlando has 2 game winning streaks.
COACH JIM LARRANAGA —-MIAMI —IS MY “ ULTRA EGO”——-😀
I would love for the extended bench to really get some run in the 2nd half like Green, D Wade and Diakite. It’s Houston at Home, we need to come out meaning business.

Cavs only 2.5 behind philly…h2h has philly win tiebreaker but I dont know how tiebreakers work in the NBA. Not likely to catch them but not impossible. Fun end to the season still ahead.
Maaaan cleveland is the truth this year without a doubt.
