Preseason Live Thread: Pacers @ Cavs
2024-10-10Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome Central Division rival Indiana Pacers to the shores of Lake Erie for a friendly little preseason battle between two teams trying to achieve that championship caliber legitimacy. Against the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night, the Cavs starting five looked amazing, while the backups were all varying levels of bad outside of veteran Caris LeVert. Hopefully there’s a bounce back performance by the second and third units while the starters maintain their mojo even without Max Strus, who’s a game time decision.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio, Go Cavs!
LT up!
just as one cannot expect truth in advertising, so one must never expect truth from “coaches” of horrible dumpster fires during post-mortem Q&As.. “da-shame gives us the best chance to win” should be interpreted through the liar’s code book as meaning “he is pure scheit, and i literally feel sick to my stomach (with diarrhea) having to watch him on a regular basis, but we did write a very large insurance policy on him, and we are actively praying for, and anxiously awaiting, the “lawrence taylor” hit that will solve both sides of this very regrettable mistake.. once fully incapacitated,… Read more »
cavs #13 in Ringer NBA power ratings.. #6 in the East.. very middling.. i would probably put them ahead of the magic, by a nanometer..
This is about right: Bucks and Sixers may slip because of health but the Cavs have to beat them. Rim pressure (from an aggressive Mobley and rejuvenated DG), rim protection and shooting is good.
Ringer has Magic at 11 “if they crack the code” – that process is harder than it looks: Memphis and Sacramento and Cleveland and Atlanta haven’t done it in years past.
that is a reasonable spot based on last years team and coach. as fans, we can have a reasonable hope that they are a LOT better than last year. my guess is the Cavs will wind up considerably better than #13. if the Cavs are mostly healthy, second in the East is only a modest stretch.
NOT A BELIEVER IN TANKING —- BUT IN BROWNS CASE —- GO FOR IT —— CAN DO IT WITHOUT TRYING—- JUST KEEP DA “ SHAME “ AS YOUR QB
the current ownership is too dumb to tank
NOMAD bro.. frowns are a walking contradiction.. even when they try, they tank..
CONGRATS TO AMARI “ ESCAPE FROM HELL “
ha-ha! Browns actually did something smart — this will bum Buck out.
raoul.. you hurt me.. read my posts,, i have said sell EVERYTHING.. release da-shame and have an exorcism.. i am happy for anyone on the roster who is able to escape from the septic tank, especially the pros.. garrett, chubb etc.. the problem with no solution is the “management”.. haslam with his cash ain’t going anywhere.. berry seems to get a free pass (why ?).. stefanski looks like a zombie, and probably wants to be fired, as NOMAD suggests.. even with a rebuild, they don’t contend until the 2030s.. and the perv gets to spread his poison for another 2… Read more »
agree on sell everything. I was just joking that you would be shocked that they did something smart.
take a look at the frowns schedule.. the only question is, can they beat the dolphins ? if so, they go 2-15.. then, only 2 more years with the perv..
on ytube.. BREAKING: Cleveland Browns trade Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills
let the liquidation begin.. sell EVERYTHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! resurrection does require death, correct ?
it is written.. cooper will finish season with another 1000 yds.. bank it.. can you imagine cooper’s relief ? being freed from the latrine ? able to breath some fresh air ? moving on to a sane organization.. a winner ? also, bills getting cooper for cents on the dollar..
As a Bengal fan…..what do you want for Chubb and Garrett?
high picks, plus some cannon fodder for the next 5-7 years of unavoidable futility that only sisyphus will be capable of comprehending..
the good news is that the Watson fiasco will be over in 2 1/2 years. the bad news is that the Haslim fiasco is likely to be going strong.
on ytube.. “Joe Flacco can hoop. Deshaun Watson cannot.”
featuring a tweet from kevin durant (@KDTrey5) !! yes, KD !!.. Oct. 6 2024 3:56 PM..
“Put Flacco anywhere and he is going to hoop”
Jacob Gilyard released:

Vogt eschewing vets to put rookies in brutal situations is killing me.
I think it was the right move — it avoided burning the bullpen on a longshot chance of winning. and you have to use the rookies for their first time sooner or later, might as well get it out of the way.
the Yankees had to use their top two relievers and the Guards bullpen is ready for tonight.
a nice song.. on ytube.. “Mr. Haslam (parody of Mr Brightside by The Killers)”.. great lyrics.. this dude must be reading my posts..
let us ponder the “joy” players will experience when they find out they have been traded to the septic tank.. i am sure they will all act professionally and play their asses off, risking personal injury, in order to buy the “shitanic” a few additional minutes of suffering.. will be enjoyable to watch the body language, and do some side-line lip-reading.. personally, i would execute the cursed son-of-a-bitch with 2 mercy shots to the forehead.. with a 12-guage..
how about getting back on your meds?
which allusion offends you raoul ? do i not speak truth ?
ALL IN BUCKAROO 👍👍👍👍———JUST A SHAME WHAT HAS “ NOT “ HAS DONE TO THIS FRANCHISE—-( BEWARE/ BE NERVOUS BUCKS ) ——FANS / PLAYERS DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER—— EITHER STEFANSKI HAS ORDERS NOT TO TRY ANOTHER QB OR HE IS SOOOO PISSED THAT HE IS ALLOWING HAS “ NOT “ TO SEE HOW BAD DA “ SHAME “ IS —— MAKE HIM SUFFER THRU HIS IDIOTIC DECISION
Oof. This third and fourth inning: not Vogt’s finest hour.
the frown-clowns should be playing in front of an empty stadium.. if the dumbies come to watch the freak show, they should stand and turn their backs whenever the deviant da-shame is on the field.. send a clear message to dee and jimmy.. the deviant is unacceptable and needs to be released to cleanse the franchise.. then burn his jersey in a public ceremony.. bring in the exorcist, if one is available..
REPEATING MYSELF FOR ALL THE PROFESSIONAL VETS —— MYLES / CHUBS/ CRONKLIN / ETC WHO CANT ESCAPE THIS “ TITANIC “ TRAIN WRECK
STEFANSKI IS HOPING HE GETS FIRED FROM THIS “ HELL HOLE “
THE RINGER HAS A GREAT ARTICLE ON DE “ SHAME “ BEING WORSE QB EVER ——- I AGREE WITH THEM
yes, i think i hit it on the head a few weeks ago.. haslam has trapped himself (and the franchise) in a corner that is surrounded by a field of landmines that he single-handedly planted.. better than fiction.. priceless cancerous stupidity.. the city, with all of its significant challenges, really does not need this type of PR.. the laughing-stock thing takes years, if not decades, to fade.. remember “burn on big river” (randy newman).. the deviant da-shame is worse..
new from the ringer.. Oct 14, 2024, 1:55pm EDT
However Bad You Think Deshaun Watson Has Been, He’s Actually Been Worse
Watson isn’t just one of the worst passers in the NFL this season, he’s among the worst quarterbacks we’ve seen this millennium.
The longest running joke in the NFL is the Cleveland Browns. And the Browns’ newest bit is their unwavering commitment to starting quarterback Deshaun Watson, who is, by every possible metric, one of the worst passers in the NFL
PREACH BUCKAROO PREACH 👍👍👍
NOMAD bro.. sometimes i have no choice.. especially when demons are crapping up a grand old franchise..
ESPN front page article.. “It’s time for the Cleveland Browns to bench deshaun watson. here’s why” an encyclopedia of an article..
actual entertaining Browns take: https://www.brownsnation.com/browns-radio-host-compares-watching-browns-offense-to-life-sentence/
is mary kay a haslam-stefanski-berry gaslighting shill ? or is she an idiot ?
do you get enough naps?
i am simply obsessed with the dumpster fires and demons.. frowns looking like they have a few key players who are possessed.. would you want da-shame dating your daughter ? not sure if has-lost is possessed or simply a monumental idiot..
frowns with ONE (1) successful 3rd down play in 3 qtrs.. might this be a coaching issue ? or is this personnel ?
who the hell is spencer rattler ?? a 5th rounder #150 pick from SC in the ’24 draft by NO.. hasn’t taken a single snap this season till this game.. 10-13 for 137 yds.. 1 TD.. 0 picks.. 135.7 rating.. has his team up 27-24 over baker and TB.. and frowns are playing a washed-up deviant and paying him $230 million to desecrate the franchise ?? what’s wrong with this picture ? what’s wrong with berry ?? that pretender from harvard should be fired immediately..
frowns just scored on a blocked kick.. nice job special teams.. da-shame not involved..
baker now imploding 13-20 with 62 rating.. NO up 20-17 (looks like TB defense is not paying attention).. making the addled buck look, well, addled
how about a da-shame for trevor lawrence trade (jacksonvile at 1-5, right where frowns will be in a few hours), with frowns eating the salary differential.. i would do that in a heart-beat.. sadly, the perv has no value whatsoever.. da-shame is 5-11 for 46 yds with 25sec left in 1st half.. what a pro..
baker now up 14-0 in first 4 min of game..6-6 with 149 rating.. now 7-7 with 10yd avg.. nice start
frowns are going to be decimated by`the eagles in front of the rabid philly fans.. perhaps a memorable 45-3 ?? da-shame goes 8-35 for 60 yds.. looks like frowns got 7 yds in 1st possession..
wow.. baker 5-5 for 58 yds in first minute of 1st quarter.. what’s da-shame doing.. what’s in your wallet ??
oops.. typed to soon.. 6-6 (62 yds) with a TD in first 2m.. perhaps baker wasn’t toxic and dysfunctional, and a born loser.. perhaps it was the entire frown-clown scheit-show.. including berry, depo, stefanski, and the brain dead owner.. glad baker escaped the NFL combo of “twilight zone” and “outer limits”.. nightmare franchise..
get real. Baker was stinking up the gym in Cleveland, plus the next place or two he was at. he has gotten pretty good lately.
he should never have been allowed to play after the injury.. some parental oversight would have been useful.. can anything be worse than da-shame ??
THANK GOD FOR GAURDS —-CAVS —-GOING TO TAKE AWHILE TO GET OVER THE BUCKEYE LOSS
“ F- CK THE DUCKS “🦆 😡——- STILL HURTING
majorly weak game managment by OSU at the end. dialing up a pass when already in decent FG range was beyond dumb.
pesky ducks.. 22-21..
really pesky.. 32-31 with 1m
Amazing win. Lane Thomas legend shot. F#*k the Yankees. LFG!!!
agree. agree! agree.
The fact that it followed the cowardly HPB on Ramirez was just beautiful.
“ MORE BEER 🍺 PlEASE AND 1 MORE WIN TONIGHT—- GO BUCKS
LETS GO GUARDIANS!!!!
kwan en fuego.. spectacular series..
very sweet 7-3 victory for the series win.. losing to the upstart tigers would have been brutal, although not shameful (they are a good young team) after winning the division.. on to the yankees (obviously stacked with power because the are NY and can spend without limit).. if guards can win a few games.. an outstanding year for a young, talented and very inexpensive squad.. if they can somehow win the series (not very likely).. epic..
Dude. Get bent with that attitude on the last sentence.
what are the vegas odds ? i am just a realist.. a victory would be very sweet, and epic (a good thing i think) especially against that stacked yankees club..
fuck yeah! Guards in six!
lane thomas.. infield hit with runners at 1st and 3rd.. 5th rbi of the game.. a wrecking ball.. from 0.143 to hero.. spectacular rebound..
May now be the best trade deadline bat pickup in Cle baseball history, though it didn’t seem like it in August. Drove in half the team’s runs in this series!
thomas was 12-81 in august (including 1 game in july) which was sad, but 24-91 in september (0.264 BA with 7 HR and 20 RBI).. so the trend is your friend, and he came up big in this series.. if he can stick around the the 0.250 area he will really be earning his paycheck, and it will have been a great trade.. as it is, with tribe going to ALCS.. i give a big thumbs up..
“Lane Thomas GRAND SLAM are you kidding me ???” on ytube.. from the third base boxes.. so sweet, and they did it against skubal (18-4 on the year).. outstanding..
UFB !!! lane thomas with the grand slam !!! outstanding.. it ain’t over till the fat lady sings, but she is currently trying to stand up from her lazy boy..
NERVOUS ABOUT GAURDS / BUCKEYES GAMES TODAY 😳
GOOOOO GUARDS!!!!!!!!! Lane Thomas!!!!!!
AGREE—- EVEN HE SAID HE IS NOT GOING TO BE A FLASHY/ STAR PLAYER—- JUST A SOLID ALL AROUND PLAYER/ GOOD CHARACTER PERSON—— “ ALL IN FOR THAT
Tyson looking like a great pickup, very solid already in only his second NBA game. Loved the quick spin move, has a good nose for where the ball is going on rebounds.
I AM BACK 👍🍺——- THANKS NATE—— YOU THE MAN
No.You da man.
Testing
Testing more beer plz.
which beers you testing today?

👍🍺🍺👍
GO GAURDS—-👍
on ytube.. nice vid.. “Baker Mayfield Goes Undercover As “Gus Swayze” | The Undercovers FULL EPISODE | Prime Video”.. think they will make one of these with da-shame the perv ? would likely need to be at a rub ‘n tug..
GO GAURDS
GO GAURDS ——“ MORE BEER 🍺 PLEASE “
TYSON DOES A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING WELL— LIKE HIS GAME —— WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SEEN “ MORE OF THOR “ —— CPJ LOOKED LIKE CPJ OF LAST YEAR——LIKE ICE CUTTING/ GOING TO THE HOOP ——— BENCH HELD THEIR OWN AGAINST PACERS STARTERS
Thanks for sticking with us guys.
*Exhale
Fry! What a hit!
Yeah!
I loved that for Vogt as much as anything. He got roasted in some quarters for pinch hitting so early in Game 3, but went to Fry at the perfect time with the season on the line. Then that safety squeeze! And then trusting Clase to get 5 outs. Managed a great game.
Just walked into Costco. DET up 3-2 in 7th. I said they needed to man up against DET instead they came swinging their tiny little d!cks. Oops I meant sticks. Yes arch. They are toasted. Having zero expectations is the only way to roll when you are in the 216.
You spoke too soon, dawg! Fry baby!
Fry hasn’t done much this series otherwise.
sat down when i got home.. took a deep breath.. punched into ESPN.. big smile.. glad i was premature on the burial rites.. i am a deep fan at heart.. but very crusty and scarred on the outside.. like all the old 216ers
Counsell, Renteria, Mesa. Those names still make me wince. But hey, big showdown on Saturday. Not gonna be easy with Skabul on the mound, but I’m gonna watch for sure.
That did not ahe well.
Cleveland breaks an 11 game losing streak when facing elimination.
Age.
Nice half with backups vs starters starting. Except for Allen.
I take it as a positive that Wade was in that lineup instead of Niang.
judging from the box score, Niang played at least as well as Wade.
This guards game is stress inducing.
Things are getting serious.
Finally fixed the comments.sorry guys
