Live Thread: Cavs vs Bulls
2024-02-14The Cavs limp into the all star break with Sam Merrill and Darius Garland joining Dean Wade as questionable with an illness. The Bulls have their own set of injuries to manage, with Dalen Terry, Alex Carusoe, and Torrey Craig questionable and Patrick Williams as out. Lonzo Ball and Zach LaVine are out for the year.
I won’t be on the LT as I’m watching the Charge live. Full report on Emoni incoming. Go Cavs!
JUST WATCHED THE EMOTIONAL STORY OF PEYTON WILLIS ……MAN THAT “ GRIPS AT THE HEART ❤️ “
OTTO PORTER BUYOUT PROSPECT——- YES / NO
SPIDA POSSIBLY OUT——- IT IS CPJ TIME “ TO THE RESCUE 🛟 “ !!
SPIDA ???/SH_T 💩——-PURCHASED A 6 PACK-/- READY FOR SOME REAL BASKETBALL 🏀———- SEEMS LIKE OUR OWN CTB BROTHER // EVIL GENIUS IS “ MOONLIGHTING “ —— THE NAME OF THE BEER I PURCHASED IS ……….. “ EVIL 👿 GENIUS—- PURPLE MONKEY DISHWASHER “ CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PORTER ————- EVIL 👿 WE NEED YOU TO CONFIRM OR DENY YOU ARE A “ BREW HEAD / MASTER———- WILL CONSUME TONIGHT/ GIVE YOU MY “ PLAYBACK 👍👎
Here’s hoping we can avoid a post-ASG collapse. IIRC we’ve been up near 2nd place in the standings at this time of year each of the past 2 seasons! Lets come out with some fire!
Eerily (Erie-ly?) similar to the past 2 years
No depth not enough shot creation those years
Finally!!! We get a game today. Cavs 6.5 point favorites vs Magic at home.
with you on that! I am ready!
Spida might miss the game due to illness. If so, it’s time for the rest of the team to step up and show they can get it done!
Well ugh!
ARE THEY HAVING….” MORE BEER PLEASE “ —-IF SO I AM THERE 👍🍺🤪
first 1000 showing up.
Reserve your Sept 14 tics at the Akron Rubber Ducks game for Brian Windhorst Bobblehead night.
Ha. I’m a fan of Windy. It was so dumb people gave him so much crap over leaving for ESPN. That said I think I’m more excited for the Barberton fried chicken and rice night in June.
yeah, Windy is all right.
We would probably all love to get paid to write about sports, and very few pull it off. Windy made a career of being the chronicler of LBJ.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍FOR THE NANCE FAMILY—— NOW WE NEED SOMEHOW HAVE TO REUNITE HIM WITH HIS BROTHER LNJ——— HAVE A “ NANCE BOBBLEHEAD NIGHT “ 👌👍
Pete Nance two-way: https://sports.yahoo.com/pete-nance-earns-two-way-031530173.html
Wait, did I miss something happening with CPJ, Bates, or Elder?
Yes, yes I did. So CPJ officially on team with Nance, Bates, & Elder the two-ways.
This generation of players (led by LeBron) have destroyed the all-star game. Another sh!tshow!
How is this LeBron’s fault?
How many players are going to risk a career ending injury in an exhibition game?
In baseball the risk is pretty low (unless Pete Rose is playing), so guys go full tilt, other than limiting IP. In football, the risk is always high, so no one plays hard. Basketball is in the middle, and you can bet the agents tell the players to take it easy.
Shoot. I’m mad as hell when dudes get hurt in preseason or training camp.
Also extra game for no pay = bad
(virtually no pay-iirc it’s like 100K)
The problem is players giving less energy than a scrimmage in practice. I get that the motivations make sense, but the league is still putting this on as something that would be worth watching. But it isn’t.
Maybe they should just skip the game and have it be an awards show. Like, don’t announce who the all stars are and “nominees” have to come and sit there to see if their name is called.
I don’t understand people getting upset by the all star game. It’s an exhibition. Do people really pine for the days of watching Mark Eaton and the west all stars using their stout defense to hold the East to a measly 134 points worth of layups?
It’s always drawn weird takes. To me it’s basically open gym with the best players in the world doing fun stuff (KAT dunking, Dame from half court).
Kyle Lowry taking charges in exhibitions <<<<<<<<<<

I’m generally for continuity in coaches, so no surprise that I think this is dumb.
What did they expect the year after trading the franchise players and with no shooting/Ben Simmons’ inconsistency? I think there was a ton of overrating Mikal Bridges.
West team shot 35% from 3 with no one guarding them, lol.
Place your bets: What year will be the first time a team scores 300 points in the ASG?
Turns on All-star game.
See Lillard launching upcontested shots from midcourt .
Switches off.
I watched a short stretch of Mitchell minutes then flipped it off.
Man. I always forget how long this takes to start.
YOU WATCH A GREAT COLLEGE GAME LIKE THE BUCKEYES/ PURDUE————- REASON I WONT “ POISON “ MY SYSTEM AND VIEW THAT “ PUTRID “ATTEMPT AT WHAT THE NBA ALL STAR GAME SAYS IS BASKETBALL 🤮
Great suggestion.
GREAT “W” FOR THE BUCKEYES AND THE DIEBLER FAMILY——- COACHED AGAINST JON —-DID SOME COACHING WITH HIS DAD—— GO WIN THE BIG 10 TOURNEY AND……..” SHOCK THE WORLD “👍👍🦾
OSU: “Fired Coach Effect” upset win
I also can’t stand Reggie or Kenny. Two of the most annoying broadcasters in the game.
Second that
I really can’t stand Reggie’s voice alone. So yes totally understand.
THANKS ARCH — RAOUL FOR THE “ SCOOP “ — I WAS HALF TEMPTED TO TUNE IN —— IT IS PRETTY MUCH A TOTAL SH_T SHOW——-REST UP CAVS FOR GAMES WE REALLY CARE ABOUT!!
The NBA All Star weekend continues to be lame AF.
no kidding! baseball ASG often pretty good, basketball ASG lame AF, football ASG lame beyond belief.
I don’t hate the 3 point contest. Skills too overengineered and dunk contest just weird
The intensity will pick up after DM brings it in the three point competition!
Not tonight
Not a bad showing for Bates, I think he had 5 points and one assist in the first game and two plus one in the second.
Team Detlef on to the Finals. Bates once again motionless, camping outside the three point line.
Detlef in the house!
For those Cavs fans who eat cotton candy and watch the All Star weekend festivities, there should be a separate thread.
Bates refusing to stet foot inside the three point line…and it pays off as he hits the three! And follows it up with a nice assist! Boom!
Getting pumped up for Emoni Bates in the Rising Stars game! Let’s go!
Follow-up story, good news for former Cav Scot Pollard. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/39540863/scot-pollard-ex-kansas-nba-player-gets-heart-donor
BETTER TO HAVE THAT SCHEDULE—RIGHT AFTER THE ALL STAR BREAK
Bah. Miami signs Delon Wright to harass Garland and Mitchell. He’s a really good two way player.
Cavs will have a nice 3 games in 4 nights when they return starting next Thursday. vs Magic, at Philly, at Wizards.
Good to see Bucks lose again.
I think they are toast. Doc sez “some of the guys are in Cabo”.
Lamar Stevens out there during crunch time for victorious Grizz against Bucks. Missed both free throws, but team manages to hang on.
Good for Lamar!
Love the guy.
Ride that Llama!
almost 29 minutes, +5
NATE -LMAO 😄😂🤪——-SIMILAR TO WHEN I 1st MET “ THE “ MRS NOMAD——- SHE COULDNT RESIST OR I THINK IT WAS THE OTHER WAY ———- HOW WAS YOUR “ CHARGE “ NIGHT LAST NIGHT——- NEED SOME OF YOUR “ SCOUTING “ REPORTS 👍
Free league pass, apparently.
