Live Thread: Heat @ Cavs
2023-11-22Good evening CtB!
Tonight the Cavs welcome the Miami Heat to the shores of Lake Erie for a major Eastern Conference battle between yet again two playoff teams from last season. The Heat have come roaring out of the gates with a 9-5 record, and will be looking to take advantage of a wounded and tired Cavs squad that was pushed to the brink last night against another Eastern Conference powerhouse in the Philadelphia 76ers. The Cavs will have to overcome the absences of Donovan Mitchell, Isaac Okoro, Ty Jerome, and probably Dean Wade, who rolled his ankle last night. Intrepid on-site reporting from Nate Smith says that Caris LeVert is looking good in warm-ups, so hopefully he’s got the green light. On the flip side, Miami will be missing the beloved Kevin Love and Bam Adebayo. Hopefully Tower City will be looking to feast tonight!
Tip off is scheduled for 7:30PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio, Go Cavs!

Allen & Mobley yad 30 FGA’s,vs Philly & 9 vs Miami.
We shot 47/47 but lost the boards 34-41 and TOs 19-10.
CPJ top scorer? Strus with 6? Man…
Can we agree that Nate should not attend home games anymore, they clearly knew he was there & freaked out a bit.
TT lead the Cavs with a +2
Completely whack.
Expected to lose this or the Sixers game (or both). Still, pretty disappointing effort with Bam out. Onward and upward. At some point the Cavs have to get some players back.
Very forgettable game
I was hoping to go 2-2 in this four game stretch. They’re 2-1.
looking good for 2-2!
I’m glad we had these refs in this game – get this shitty game with shitty officials out of the way
Spoelstra running up the lead
These officials need a sock party
Oh well. On to LAL

I didn’t think he had that authority, but then again it’s Pop.
That’s,.. Odd.
Old man yells at the sky
I think they were probably just booing Pop and the Spurs’ now double-digit losing streak.
Damian Jones stinks
I’m glad JB emptied the bench early.
This is an ass whooping
Slightly disappointing. I know it’s the back-end of two in a row, but they are missing Bam. Couldn’t we punish them inside a bit with two 7-footers? Tired legs, I guess.
Yeah I agree but baby steps. They’ve generally been better lately.
Cavs got out-coached. Miami playing miles off CPJ and then cooking him on D. Had to put the ball in his hands and play DG off ball to have a chance.
Yeah they worked him pretty good.
Defensive scheme on Jimmy was really effective. Otherwise no good coaching moves of note. Nobody did much good except Evan.
Extended garbage time
Lost challenge
Haha Athletic had it wrong
Good gosh. These damn refs!
Do these refs look at angry letters from selected team fans before games?
These refs are cheeks.I bet they uphold the challenge butbgive a foul to Bates.
Yes I’d challenge this too – but a spite challenge
God this game is awful. Sorry Nate.
Damian Jones sighting?
Fuck these refs!
Lol they tossed LeVert
Empty the bench
These officials are some of the worst I’ve ever seen.
How many times has that been written this year?
They have gotten worse
Defend the 3 point line
Miami so smart. Called a timeout up 21. Mainly to account for Bates I think.
Nope it was to challenge, which they won. Got JB sucks at that. About 5 plays he could’ve challenged.
I don’t care about this game just work some sets
Bates on, at last!!
