Live Thread: Cavs vs Hornets
2024-11-17Sunday Sunday Sunday! The hornets are in town and the Cavs are giving Donovan Mitchell a much needed break. He joins Sam Merrill, Max Strus, Emoni Bates as out for this game.
I’ve heard DaQuan Jeffries, Nick Richards, and Mark Willians are out for Charlotte. Supposedly LaMelo Ball, Miles Bridge, and Terrance Mann are questionable, but in this media hellscape, who knows. On the line? More history as the Cavs attempt to become just the fourth team to start 14-0.
It’s been a special run, and the Tuesday cup game in Boston has to loom large. Let’s hope the Cavs play the team in front of of them. But I got to think that there’s a desire to win this one and put a real Buzz around TNT’s Tuesday showcase with the Cavs. Go Cleveland!
Great quarter despite the ending.
Asking Niang to check Tatum speaks to our injury situation.
Still, only down 5.
It looks like Wade is out tonight and Okoro, Merrill, and LeVert are questionable.
Let’s hope Ice & Merrill can go tonight. Remember, a game tomorrow as well. Games played:
15: Garland, Allen, Okoro, Niang, Jerome
14: Mitchell, Mobley
13: LeVert, Wade
12: Merrill

THANK s NATE 👍——- WADE / ICE / LeVERT QUESTIONABLE FOR TONIGHT OUCH
Is comment section messed up again 😡
Fixed. Sorry.
Niang Merrill and Wade not shooting super well. All we need is a couple guys hot to really beat Boston badly.
True, but not horribly, either. It is just everyone else is ludicrous. FG%/3PT%/2PT%/FT%/TS%
Garland: 52.5/45.5/58.2/93.2/66.2
Mitchell: 46.9/42.1/51.5/85.5/60.5

4 guys with 20+ was excellent balance.
Curious if Jrue will be back for Tuesday’s game
Seems likely as he was a late scratch and there doesn’t seem to be anything seriously wrong.
Jeromin’ Candle?
FWIW, Boston did not look that impressive against Raptors on 2nd night of back to back. Poeltl got 35, Barrett 25. They do take a ton of 3’s and having Ice back would be key.
Just made a request to FanDuel for odds on Ty Jerome 6th man of the year. I’m betting $500 whatever they are
