Live Thread: Cavs @ Pelicans
2024-11-06Good evening, Cavs fans. This is the sandwich game to end all sandwich games. First off, the Cavs play the one-loss Dubs Friday, who along with Cleveland are one of the top five NBA teams right now. Meanwhile, the Pelicans are banged up bad, with Herb Jones, CJ McCollum, Dejounte Murray, and Trey Murphy III with Jordan Haskins, Jose Alvarado, and Zion Williamson “day-to-day.” That Cleveland might be looking past these guys is not outside of the realm of possibility.
For Cleveland, Strus is about four weeks away, Dean Wade is still sick, Jaylon Tyson is questionable with a hip injury, and Caris is day-to-day with that sore knee. Should be interesting to see who Cleveland runs at the end of the rotation. Brandon Ingram and (ostensibly) Zion will still be a handful. But with Trey Jemison, Yves Missi, and Daniel Theis listed at center, Allen and Mobley should be able to help on D. I’d still like to see some J.T. Thor minutes if they get a chance.
Hope the good guys project competence. Go Cavs.
Lot of teams have tried junking up games to close with cavs. Boys responded really well tonight. Caris was a big missing connector from last couple. Really saw the difference in how the offense in particular was much more kinetic. Caris is nothing if not decisive. He knows before he even gets the ball that he’s making a move and that decisiveness and intention with every motion was really clicking until Donovan made some nice shots that won’t go into any clutch shooting categories but really shows that he knows how to find his in the final minutes
The point distribution from man 1-10 is a thing of beauty. Everyone contributing.
GOODNIGHT NEW ORLEANS GO TO CONFESSION YOU DEGENERATES!
Best start in franchise history.

Alvarado 7-7 from 3.. what a night.

Unsuccessful challenge by plea. Think that’s only there 3rd team foul of the half to, um, 17 on the cavs?
Who are these guys, the lakers south?
Man the refs are rough this game
Cavs winning the challenge battle
Yeah they’ve been pretty bad – not calling it both ways around the paint
Finally get an offensive foul call on Zion.
Although Green is challenging it.
Jerome complaining a bit too much for my liking. Head in the game, young man.
Zion is an offensive foul waiting to happen
Geezus, finally man
From your lips…

Mobes on 5 and Pels starting to roll. Gotta hold firm here.
Zion taking over, gotta respond

Mobley cannot be stopped.
CAVALANCHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RAGE TIMEOUT!

SMOTHERING
Allen in rare form. His hands, particularly on the defensive end – not just blocks but steals too – has been insane.
I’d like to see CPJ get another run, and maybe try Tyson for a sec see if he’s got something too just buy a few extra minutes for the core 4.
Ty Jerome Cavs Savior of the first half.
Wish I could stay up, but I gotta be at airport early. Good luck,guys
Laters!
safe travels brother!
Nice job to get back to a tie.
Jerome killing it!!!
Cavs Waking up.
Good challenge
Alvarado hiding on the sidelines.
Porter Jr making up for the sloppy pass
Be good if Merrill could hit one.
Missi was better than I thought. Put some respect on his name.

HOLY SHIT WHAT A PLAY SPIDA AND CARIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM REF CALL THE FOUL!!!!!
CARIS!!!! HES GOT THE JUICE TOO RIDE HIM!

Caris and Tyson are good to go
NATE! YOU DA MAN! GO CAVS BABY
