Live Thread: Cavs vs Lakers
2023-11-25Happy Thanksgiving weekend, Cavs fans. This could be a get right game for the Cavs. LeBron James returns to Northeast Ohio with a Lakers squad nursing a boatload of injuries. Jared Vanderbilt, Rui Hachimura, Cam Reddish, and Gabe Vincent are all out.
Meanwhile Donavan Mitchell is back in the starting lineup and Isaac Okoro is available off the bench. The Cavs are missing Dean Wade, Ty Jerome, and of course, Ricky Rubio. The wine and gold are looking to bounce back from a moribund Thanksgiving eve loss to the shorthanded Miami Heat, and you know the building formerly known as the Q, always gets p for the King.
It should be a fun one, especially with the Cavs at full strength.
LT up
THINK IF WE LOSE TONIGHT—-(ESPECIALLY IF WE GET BOATRACED “ —- THE SPIDA TRADE NARRATIVES WILL BECOME LOUDER
We can’t wait to panic like bitches
at least discomfort

We have Orlando and Boston on a B2B in two weeks. Panic soon come
WILL SEE WHERE WE ARE 15–20 GAMES FROM NOW————- SPIDA TRADE RUMORS MIGHT BECOME A REALITY
Mitchell doesn’t appear to be on the injury list. Garland is listed as questionable, as is Wade. Gonna need to win more games against the Raptors this year.
Actually, they’re listed as day-to-day, so not sure if it’s questionable, probable, or out?
AGREE ON ALL PARTS SIMMO—( UNFORTUNATELY) —-DONT THINK IT IS “ PANIC BUTTON) TIME YET —-BUT WE CANT KID OURSELVES THAT IT IS STILL THE START OF THE SEASON—-AND AS I POSTED YESTERDAY——-PACERS / MAGIC/ ARE MUCH IMPROVED—-ALONG WITH THE KNICKS/ RAPTORS/ HAWKS WHO SEEM TO “ OWN “ US ————- WE ARE IN DIRE NEED OF A GOOD DOSE “ OF EVIL GENIUS “ ——SOS FOR THE “ EVIL “ ONE
V Raptors (who will be rested) both Cavs guards potentially miss or will be hobbled. Cavs rebounding is an issue, and may be exposed against this team. No surprise if they drop this one given these issues, but the narrative that this team is going backwards may build.
Would be nice to get a win here…
agree on all points.
They were saying Mitchell was just cramping. Hopeful. Team needs game reps together so damn bad.
Fully expected to lose this, even with DG. Sucks, because the Lakers are a borderline play-in team. It is what it is.
Er, they were in the WCF last year. I’m good with this one without DG, although hated the late game offense. We need both guards to close effectively
We’re also a borderline playin team so I feel like its an even matchup
Difference is the Lakers have two ancient/ injury prone players. If either of them misses a lot of games, they are a lottery team.
Lets give it to Mitchell some more!
I don’t understand why you give the ball to Mitchell when he’s limping.
Best player gets the ball at close
Whelp.
lets see what kind of ato play we get
Was lovely to have 24 minutes with two healthy guards
Mitchell tried to go two for one instead of getting a good look.
Mitchell gimpy now
So dumb that’s a T (though I’ll take it at the moment)
Allen seems to be good for about 1 or 2 a game of just horrific passes that have no chance of working
What are you doing, Allen?
Come on evan

Decent zone buster play.
Wow. Lol. Did not see that coming.
That’s exactly the kind of foul that Lebron gets all the time. Good challenge. The Lebron stans love to say he gets screwed all the time, but he gets those garbage calls constantly.
not when he was with the Cavs — especailly the first time.
This looks like a good block by Mobley
JB gonna challenge.
Oh good we’re in the Donovan Mitchell run headlong in to traffic part of the game
Yeah. They just all lose their minds.

It would be lovely to play a couple of games with DG.
Thank you Caris.
With DG: 40 points in a quarter. No DG, under 40 points in a half
Maybe finish the game before you knee jerk defend the coach.
He won a challenge, man. Springfield
And a great ATO!
