Live Thread: Pelicans @ Cavs
2024-11-20Good evening CtB!
The Cleveland Clinic Cavs welcome the New Orleans Pelicans’ G League Affiliate Birmingham Squadron to the windy shores of Lake Erie in hopes of bouncing back from their first loss of the season to the reigning champion Boston Celtics in Boston last night. It’s an opportunity to quickly erase the bad taste in their mouth, or a risk of dropping a quick two games in the loss column. This game will require a lot of mental toughness to overcome exhaustion, injury, and emotional toll of their recent historic feat.
Looking over the numbers, the Cavs defense and rebounding are really the only two improvements spots for the Cavs as we stand at game 17. In this must win game, the Cavs will have the opportunity to go against quite possibly the worst team in the NBA statistically. As long as the Cavs can keep them off the offensive glass, they should come out with a W. A loss however, would raise immediate eyebrows given how bad the Pels are. Let’s see what the hospital Cavs can do…
Tip off is scheduled for 7:30PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Fanduel Sports Network, Go Cavs!
Hey! Dan has formally applied to get a WNBA team for Cleveland!
Saw that too. That would be great if it happens.
Made international news over here too!
SO JASON ARE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS THERE IS “ NO CHANCE IN HELL” OF RESIGNING “ GEM “ —— DAMN WE LOSE RUBIO —HARD ROCK AND NOW POSSIBLY “GEM” —— I NEED………. “ MORE BEER 🍺 PLEASE “
hope they figure out a way
Recognize he is an NYC guy who got as far south as UVA for school, does “Beau Ty” work as a moniker for one of our 6th man assassins?
Beauty! That works in about three ways.
Wore a bow tie to a work event today and the wordplay crossed my mind during his first half barrage this evening.
Nate/EG may have to go all meme for the new guys.
Ty is Chevy Chase/Caddyshack. Wannna nanna.
Tyson couod be Iron Mike, but I’d get passing on thet one.
Thor had a good game. You could go Marvel or Adventures in Babysitting on that one.
And Travers. Luke. Cool Hand Luke or Star Wars.
WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO TRADE TO FREE UP MONEY TO KEEP “ GEM “
The issue isn’t so much cap space as not having full Bird rights. If we had full Bird (like we do with LeVert) we could pay him whatever as long as Gilbert is willing to eat the tax hit.
Mitchell, Garland, Allen, & Mobley are locked up for a while, and the 4 of them get us close to the cap ($154 mil cap next year, $147 mil (or so) with those 4. There is no universe where we can use cap space to sign Jerome (partial Bird is more than $8 mil).
Outside the Core 4, we have 6 other guys signed gor next year: Strus at $16, Okoro at $11, Wade at $6.6, and Niang at $8.2. All pretty reasonable and all are comtributing. Tyson is on his rookie at $3.3 and CPJ is peanuts. We have full Bird on LeVert and Merrill. We can pay if Dan is willing. I would not tear the team up to keep Jerome. I’d try so sell him on the idea of playing one more year here at a discount (our best possible offer) and then say we’ll pay out when we have full… Read more »
hopefully DM can remind him how much it sucks to be on a bad team compared to having a chance to win it all
AND WE STILL HAVENT SEEN EMONI PERFORM IN THIS OFFENSE—COACHING STAFF
TYSON WAS FLIRTING WITH A TRIPLE/ DOUBLE—— WE ARE SO FREAKING DEEP IT s ALMOST A CRIME 👍🏀💪
I WILL HELP DONATE TO RESIGN “ GEM “ JEROME-/— DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE WE MADE WITH HARD ROCK
HAD A SCRIMMAGE TONIGHT— WE DOMINATED—- CHECKING THE BOX SCORE ——-“ MORE THOR PLEASE “ —— TYSON —- THEY ARE GOING TO CONTRIBUTE OFF THE BENCH BY SEASON s END—- WILL ENJOY WATCHING REPLAY 👍🏀
might have used Thor last night
Wow, assistant coaches pushed for Jalen to start. Kenny initially said no, but relented.
Man the Pels are decimated, but Cavs took care of business.
Does anyone else think the guy from the Classic Chevrolet commercials sounds just like Norm McDonald?
Lol
Oh, JT
Thor auditioning for tt’s spot.
Thor jump shot looks smooth
Great play Thor
Cavs front office batting 1.000 since summer of 23.
good eye!
Cavs running some old Bulls triangle offense.
The mighty thor from deep
Blink twice…
Hey, Thor!
ugh
This stretch should have yakkity saks playing.
Travers “Vegamite Jamwich”!
Nice.
Tyson is fantastic. We just keep finding guys
I had to request Ty Jerome 6th man of the year odds on fan duel and they opened at 30 to 1 and by halftime he had jumped over Caris and dropped to 17 to 1 lol to keep from crying. I got 22 to 1 max wager of 228$ for a cool 5k. Let’s go Gem
Most impressed with Jaylen.
This took some work, but after that pick six.
Tyson has been super solid. Ty a revelation. And TT not so much…
LMFAO

JB at home watching Ty Jerome like, you f*ckn kidding me???
JB did get a bad deal last year.
Gotta figure out how to re-sign Ty Jerome. The Cavs should consider a max extension. I think highest they can go is 3/34 with player option for the third year or 4/47 as an early bird. Both should be in the table at halftime.
We are gonna lose a few really fun guys this off season :(
You’re a ray of sunshine.
Lmaooooo my brother you’d have swapped Ty for Delon Wright in a heartbeat stay on your side
I would have last year. This is not last year.
Only difference is health. You’d have given away a great piece for a shitty gap filler.
You had no vision, no foresight, and have been a perpetual prisoner of the moment. Just wack analysis.
Maybe we don’t lose a guy this off-season – but pointing out a high class problem doesn’t mean I’m not optimistic.
You can take a break for a couple days.
might need more naps!
I don’t think we can afford Ty damn
Ty Jerome taking multiple heat checks and hitting the first of them from 28 feet was not on my bingo card
Dear lord Ty Jerome
Getting destroyed on offensive boards. TT omg
Cavs should be offering a three year extension.
This was supposed to be in response to Simmo
I hope!
I’m somewhat speechless about Ty Jerome. Incredible.
See above
Ty Jerome continues playing like an all star
God. TT looks so old.
Mitchell playing this defense after having to take on the best defensive backcourt of all time last night, isn’t fair for the Pels. They look very mortal after watching a duel of demigods last night.
Tyson doing a lot of great stuff here. CPJ decent
Love javonte green.
The Cavs’ ability to get to get good minutes from this deep in their roster is impressive.
CPJ >>>>>>>>>>>>>
JAYLEN TYSON IS SO SPECIAL
The Cavaliers contain multitudes
Playing rough and rowdy ways!
Eventually NO will hit 3s
Solid open. Like what I saw from TY and the rotation so far.
MOBL3Y
PERFECT PICK AND ROLL CPJ ……
Allen telling it to them in thunder.
Love Kenny playing the young guys early with Ty.
POSTED BEFORE—— REALLY BELIEVE EMONI WILL THRIVE IN THIS OFFENSE/ KA —COACHING STAFF
Cavs are looking good for a long stretch!
Tyson with a really great shift
TYSON AGENDA TO THE MOON!!!
Nice to finally play a game where the opponent isn’t shooting something like 17/22 from three near the end of the first period.
I like Tyson starting.
Would be wild if Emoni is good in this offense. It seems to play to his strengths
Injury list is brutal for both teams.
😲
Tyson Agenda lets fucking go!!!!! https://twitter.com/ChrisFedor/status/1859385615990526140
