Live Thread: Cavs @ 76ers
2024-11-13Good evening Cavalier fans! The Cavs roll out for a hump day matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers who are missing their top three in Maxey, Paul George, and Embiid, as well as a big body in the middle, Andre Drummond. For Cleveland, Sam Merrill is out, joining Emoni Bates and Max Strus. Cleveland should be able to operate comfortably around the rim, and should have the energy with Philly having played their first back to back last night. Watch out for our old ancient nemesis, Kyle Lowry as well as Guerschon Yabusele and Jared McCain off the bench if the team loses their focus.
Hopefully that won’t happen and the Cavs add another wine and gold colored brick to the pile and sink Philly further into the depths of the Eastern conference. Go Cavs.
WAS ACTUALLY REFERRING TO SPIDAS CAREER NOT HAVING A TRIPLE/ DOUBLE
Rotorwire lists EM and JA as probable for Bulls game on Friday
Okay, no EM tonight
💪💪 CENTRAL POWER
Curse of Kyrie, part 1000: Jazz beat Mavs.
Central Power: the three finalists for both the AL Cy Young and the AL Manager of the year are all from Cleveland, Detroit, and KC.
I AM SHOCKED SPIDA DOESNT HAVE TRIPLE/ DOUBLE YET ——- IT WILL COME
this is because the Cavs are sharing the ball in all respects
MY FAVORITE IS THE ALL ORANGE UNIS —- THINK WHEN THEY BROUGHT THEM BACK —- THEY WERE UNDEFEATED
SO TRUE RAOUL —— IS A BUMMER / JA / MOBES —- WOULD HATE TO SEE STREAK BROKEN DUE TO THIS——— “ MORE THOR “ PLAYING LIKE “ MARVEL THOR ——- BRING THE THUNDER/ LIGHTNING “ 👍🙏⚡️
KJG — ARTICLE ABOUT POTENTIALLY TRADE PROPOSAL OF STRUS——- ARE YOU WRITING FOR THEM NATE ( SARCASM 🤪)
sites like KJG and FtS need to produce lots of text. some of it is useful (like today, FtS says that both JA and EM are doubtful for Friday night. bummer!), some of it is rehashed rumors, and some is original content. unfortunately most of their writers don’t know much about basketball, so the suggestions are mostly wacky. the theory we already have a 10 man rotation so we should trade Strus is a good example of airheadedness. the writer has not figured out that injuries are rather common in the NBA, and having extra rotation players is a good… Read more »
FEELING s / OPINION s ON NEW CITY EDITION UNIFORMS??
idk.
I liked the old orange and blue unis. I have an orange and (mostly) blue Cavs jacket.
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU BW 👍
on a related note, Bronnie will only be playing in home games in the minors. I think this is doing him a major disservice — for multiple reasons.
CORRECT SIMMO —- AMAZING WHAT GOOD COACHING DOES 👍🏀
WATCHING REPLAY MOBES NOT “ FUMBLING “ THE PASSES / BALL SO MUCH AS PREVIOUS SEASON s — ALSO GOING UP WITH MORE DETERMINATION/ FORCE —— THE MATURITY/ GROWTH IS HAPPENING 👍
The major change from my perspective…yes, going straight up and with force. He has been told in no uncertain terms that he should not be dribbling the ball. That’s where he’d run into trouble in the past, backing guys down while dribbling and whoops the help defence would steal his candy every time.
At the risk of sounding over confident…this must be how warriors fans felt during the main part of their run. Every other game I watch looks like a different version of basketball. The Lakers are beating the grizzlies but not because of style They’re just more talented. The warriors are currently having a solid season but we blew the doors off them. I cannot freaking wait for the Boston game. Last year during the 18 and 2 streak with Garland and Mobley out it was Mitchell showing his brilliance. This year…we have a team. Like a whole team. Gonna be… Read more »
But a team that isn’t yet whole. Remember,,Strus is likely out at least 2 more weeks.
Things *should* keep improving.
Cavs have a 7 game lead in the division and a 3 game lead in the East.
Blazers beat the Wolves in b2b wins.
@ Nate, Donovan apologized for the assist hunting, said it would never happen again (I’m not even joking he was asked) LMFAOOO
The entire bench laughing at him was probably enough motivation to rethink the strategy.
Good on him for owning it at least. That’s the type thing Lebron would pull and then afterwards say with a straight face that he had no idea he was one assist away, he was just trying to make the right play. Lebron for all his greatness could be cringy as hell lol.
Bench laughing or not, mad respect for even addressing it and owning to it.
remember in the bad old days, some clown on the Cavs tried to get a TD by shooting at the other basket and getting his rebound, but the league didn’t count it. what was his name?
Ricky Davis
Giannis had 59 tonight as Bucks squeeze by Pistons.
Wemby 50 as the Spurs beat the Wiz despite 42 from Poole.
Yeah Detroit blew it. They had FTs with essentially 0 on the clock in regulation but missed both FT. So Giannis took over in OT.
👍👍👍🏀🏀🏀 NATE SO MANY REWARDS/ MEMORIES/ FRIENDS MADE COACHING YOUNG ATHLETES—— THE “ W” s ARE NICE BUT NOT THE ULTIMATE PRIZE —— WITH MY GERIATRIC AGE I AM KNOWN AS “ COACH PAPA “ —— I DO HAVE TO BOAST HELD 2 TEAMS SCORELESS ENTIRE QTRs —- YES THE TEAMS WERENT THAT GOOD AND WE ARE 💪
Great win! Love the finish from Mobley and obviously Spida. The defense is getting worse though. I am assuming that is tired legs. When we start having a couple days off soon between games we will know.
That’s been the talking point in the podcasts I’ve listened to (Windy, Fedor). Playing every other night just gives them a day off for recovery, so no practices to actually work on things.
Tuned in to Pistons/Bucks to see JB arguing with the ref 😂
Wish I could watch but my wife and daughter decided it was time to shit watch house hunters.
It’s tied with 25 secs left
Overtime
Wow Nevermind. Detroit gets bailed out with a ticky tack foul call.
Okay now it’s going to OT. Dude misses two FTs.
I love how KA seems to have a set play to start each game (in this case, Mitchell to a cutting Garland to a cutting Allen for the easy dunk). Keep it going.
also each quarter that the Cavs have the ball to start
MAN THESE LATE PRACTICES/ SCRIMMAGES/ WATCHING FILM IS PUTTING A “ CRUNCH “ ON SPENDING TIME WITH ALL YOU CTB BROS —— BUT BEING IN THE GYM AGAIN IS “ FEEDING MY ADDICTION “ 👍🏀👍🏀👍🏀———- WONDERING WITH THAT TARGET ON OUR JERSEY s GETTING LARGER/ HEAVIER IF WE ARENT PLAYING “ NOT TO LOSE “ INSTEAD OF PLAYING “ TO KICK ASS “ ——THERE IS A DIFFERENCE—- BUT HEY CONGRATS ON 13 —— GO CAVS 👍🏀
Man. I’m so jelly. Suck the marrow out of life, Nomad.
Coaching was one of the most fulfilling things I ever did in my life.
Bucks-Pistons back and forth
Wow Knicks-Bulls… Hart fouls White on a 3 point attempt and causes Knicks to lose the game.
Donovan personally outscored the Sixers 11-6 in the final 3 minutes, not bad for what seemed like an off shooting night until then (just from Gamecast, couldn’t watch).
His passing before that was ridic.
His shooting was poor, but 13 rebounds, 9 dimes, and 0 TOs is damn good.
For sure, he had a great game overall. This is the first night where Donovan and DG collectively had to carry the team. Okoro hitting his 3’s was a factor.
Whew! Not impressive overall, but I will take it.
13-0.
Meanwhile, Magic have now won 4 in a row sans Banchero. Bulls are up in NY under 4 min left in the Garden. They are playing well No gimmee when we host them.
Magic #= 69 games
Yeesh. Dodged an embarrassing bullet tonight.
I thought the theme song of this game was Closing TYme, but it was the Cure’s Lullaby
See, I go Leonard Cohen on Closing Time.
The women take their blouses off and the men they dance on the polka dots, and it’s partner found and it’s partner lost and there’s hell to pay when the fiddler’s cross. It’s closing time.
I think I got that from memory, but not sure about the fiddler part. Great fucking song
13!!!
D’ya feel lucky???
Well that was…quite a stretch!
That’ll do it
Mitchell could have had a layup. Stat hunting for last assist to get first triple double. No reason to pass to mobley on three point line with wide open layup. Garland is the closer.
Nah, I don’t mind it there. Game was over.
Lol. He made up for it.
SPIDA TAKEOVER!!!!
Oof Donovan got greedy for the triple double
Makes up for it.
Nope this is going down to the wire
The Spidey sense is tingling again!
Another stop and a bucket should probably do it.
X2
Spida taking over!
Right in Martin’s face. NASTY.
Mitchell with a quick trigger release!
Oof.allen.gotntoasted by the big Frenchman.
Darius . Spicy
Get the feeling this one’s going to the wire.
Time to get a couple stops and put this away.
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me hoooome!
McCain is a problem.
He’s earned some playing time for Nurse going forward.
YEAH MOBES
So many missed bunnies
Caris. Ugh
Closing TYme! 🎶One last call for alcohol, so finish your whiskey or beer .🎶
I’ve got a “Secret Smile” for Ty Jerome’s play…
Cavs ability to find the open man is just superb.
Ty to the rescue
CPJ is no Sam Merrill!
McCain is giving me some nefarious Sundiata Gaines vibes.
