Live Thread: Wizards @ Cavs
2024-01-05Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome the tanking Washington Wizards for part two of their two game series on the shores of Lake Erie. The Cavs played the ultimate “get right” game blowing out the Wizards 140-101 on Wednesday night. Tonight hopefully is much of the same as the Cavs need to put the pedal to the metal in order to stay in the race for top six seeding in the Eastern Conference.
QUICK CHECK ON THE NUMBERS
One of the most eye-popping stories for the season is the ascension of Sam Merrill. He’s establishing himself as a player that should be taking a lot more minutes away from Isaac Okoro, and to a lesser extent, Caris LeVert. He’s raising the floor of an offense that desperately needs someone to make three point shots (Cavs are bottom six in the NBA in 3 point shooting percentage). Shoutout CtBer NOMAD for scouting and initiating the Sam Merrill Agenda!
Tip off is scheduled for 7:30PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio, Go Cavs!
LT up.
I’d love to bring back Cedi. Ice for Cedi?
Welcome back Cedi!
ANOTHER “NOMAD/ ADVANCED “ SCOUTING REPORT—/ DREW PEMBER / UNC-ASHEVILLE—HAVE ACTUALLY SEEN HIM PLAY—- 6’11”—— 220 lbs —- ATHLETIC—— 19 PPG —-9RPG ———85 % FREE THROW // 37% FROM 3 ——— COULD BE ANTHER SOLID “ 49th “ PICK FOR THE CAVS
JAZZ s — COLLINS ON TRADE MARKET/ SHOULD CAVS PURSUE FOR THE RIGHT PRICE??
“STICK s” WINDLER SET A GLEAGUE RECORD WITH 33 REBOUNDS—ALSO HAD 22PTS —NOT A BAD STAT LINE—— LAKERS JUST PICKED HIM UP —- WATCH HIM GO “ ALL PRO “ MODE WITH LEBRON
I hope he does great.Its been a rough ride.
HAVE POSTED SEVERAL TIMES /EASTERN CONFERENCE IS GOING TO BE “ WAR “ —- CANNOT AFFORD ANY LONG LOSING STREAKS
There are 5 teams with 20-15 records in the east. That’s nuts!
4 teams… still nuts.
TRAE”FRIGGIN” YOUNG WITH MORE ALL STAR VOTES THAN SPIDA IS TOTAL BS / CRIMINAL 🤬🤬🤬
So overrated.
Got to enjoy Drew Gooden and the Wiz crew
Good win for the Cavs. Looking forward to seeing Wemby play on Sunday.
Cavs take care of business. Damn though, Wiz are horrendous
TT’s rejuvenatiion continues to astound.
Fun to watch.
My man, CPJ, screwing up.
This is the game to do it.
Sweet pass, DM.
Poole is horrid.
Not a great game by the Cavs, and would probably be losing against a good team. But not against the Bullets!
Yeah. Just hard to avoid bad habits. At least the board work is solid.
Do not love bumslaying two games in a row
Easy to develop bad habits.
I know MikeO is twirling in his boots getting to watch b2b games of Jordan Poole.
I like Daniel gafford and feel really bad he’s stuck on this team.
I know that call went in our favor, but I hate the fake and flail.
Messing around with the ball. Dislike.
Yep. Time to take a break.
I like this second unit: CPJ, Lavert, Merrill, Niang, and TT. It works (at least against the Wizards).
Yeah they do good and share the rock well. Caris feels free to score, but also knows his teammates well and gets them involved.
Sam Merrill plays really hard on D.
Chef slam!
Coolibaly is the one guy on the Wizards I like.
I like Gafford but he’s too short to be a starter.
I also like Delon Wright but he looked completely checked out the other night.
Bench hemorrhaging points.
OK. Closed well.
Terrible reversal. Kispert went through the off arm and the body for the block.
Insane.
Pity reversal
Niang’s handle is….ugh.
Dang Caris. Nice dish.
Man that was nice d by Wade.
Don’t like the Cavs letting Tyus Jones get going. He can get hot.
Go Cavs!!!
Great board and go, Ice.
Gotta love these shitty on-court ad graphics beheading guys as they come down the court.
Woof. Right?
Afro samurai slam!
Looks like the Wizards are pretending they give a shit tonight.
Then again maybe not.
Token pressure.
Law of averages says Wizards might want to play harder that just scrimmaging but we’ll see.
Funny Strus is mic’d up. Imagine he’s the last guy on the team who’d actually want that. Hope he just stonewalls them lol.
Agree. He is alllll business.
THANKS 🙏 CLF FOR THE “ SHOUT OUT “ OCCASIONALLY I GET SOMETHING RIGHT——ALTHOUGH “ THE “ MRS NOMAD OFTEN MENTIONS THE ONLY TIME I GOT ANYTHING RIGHT WAS WHEN I MARRIED HER— CAN T SAY I DISAGREE WITH HER—-GO CAVS—-NEED TO WIN EVERY ONE OF THESE “ SO -CALLED- GiMME GAMES “ 👍🍺🏀🤪
