Live Thread: Wizards @ Cavs
2024-12-03Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome the Washington Wizards to the windy shores of Lake Erie in a must win game for the good guys. Why must win? Because every game matters when you’re a championship contender, and getting the top seed in the East is a realistic goal for the Cavs and would give them the advantage getting through the playoffs. Also, every player made the point that the Wizards are desperate for wins, the Cavs will have to put this team away tonight to win.
Rumors are Dean Wade is back, but Kyle Kuzma is out. There was also a rumor flying around about the Cavs being interested in Kuzma… yours truly supports the interest, but the cost will be have to be monitored.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Fanduel Sport Network, Go Cavs!
Kyrie walks the check:

Ugh. Not so mindful
not counting the final game, the teams in the playoffs will all go 2-0, 1-1, or 0-2, with an expected win total of exactly 1.
For the just added games, the Cavs host the Wizards and travel to the Nets. The Celts host the Pistons and travel to the Wizzards.
Both the Cavs and Celts have a good shot at going 2-0. The Celts have a very slight advantage in getting the tougher game at home.
Wonder if both teams getting the Wizards (worst team in the NBA by a lot) was intentional by the league?
KJG —-GOOD ARTICLE IN WHY NOT TO TRADE FOR KUZMA
Cornelissen often appears to take the role of adult supervision at the KJG playhouse.
Any updates on DG?
Answered my own question with Dr. Google: Kenny Atkinson didn’t seem concerned after the game.
“I think he’s fine,” Atkinson said of Garland. “I just looked at him. He gave me the thumbs up, and I don’t think he’ll miss any time at all. I think he’s fine.”
Mavs are averaging a turnover every 2 minutes and are still a chance to win.
Yep they came back and won that game.
The Niang / TT post-game panel is the best.
Jfc. The irony of that Amazon commercial, the lowly janitor getting his chance to shine on stage. Not pictured is the Amazon driver is pissing in a diaper to get the delivery there same day. Oops… I mean go Cavs!
TIME TO GO “ KISS THE DOG —- PET THE WIFE “ 🤪😈👺
Porter and Tyson played for the charge this afternoon m
Spida says goodnight
Wade needs reps. Good that he is getting minutes in this game.
JUST GET OUT OF THIS GAME HEALTHY/ INURY FREE
WELCOME BACK SAM 👍🏀
Getting Sam’s jumper right is a big deal.
Gotta keep it over 20. Production drying up. Wizards have been terrible and shouldn’t be this close.
ANY UPDATE s ON DG
Hit in head, getting assessed and will not return.
NEED TO SHORE UP OUR REBOUNDING
Lol. Niang.
ALLOWING TOO MUCH DRIBBLE PENETRATION—- STOP THEM HiGHER
TAKE THAT “ BEECH” OUT 🤬💪🥷
Sarr is gonna be a good player
Valanciunas is a menace.
he got picked at #5, one after TT.
Mitchell back garland out.
Playing the Wizards is a safety hazard!
SPIDA BETTER BE OK —— KA IS PISSED
He looks fine. A little bashful coming back to the bench if anything.
Probably a stinger
Mitchell straight to the locker room with what looked like a shoulder injury.
Hope it’s just a stinger
Good first half. Hope spida is in ok
JUST THROWING THIS OUT THERE TRADE —— DONT THROW ROCKS 🪨 AT ME ——- STRUS / GEM / DRAFT PICK or2 FOR KUZMA —— 👍👎—DOES THIS EVEN WORK MONETARY / CONTRACT WISE??
No. It doesn’t work. Need to trade two of Caris, Strus, Niang. Probably need a 2031 first. I don’t think they have the ammo
GOOD TO SEE SAM HIT A COUPLE 3’s —- BE GOOD TO GET HIM BACK TO 40%+ FROM 3’s
REALLY LIKE HOW KA HANDLES HIS PLAYERS—— NO NONSENSE/ BS ——- DISCIPLINE IS NEEDED IN ALL SPORTS/ LEVELS
Go Cavs!
Not watching the game now, but did I just see Dean Wade??!?!
You did!
Wade on!!
And a horrid airball. Lol.
Poole has risen to the level of his incompetence.
NO EASY “ W” IN THE NBA —— BUT FEEL CONFIDENT OF GETTING A WIN—— GOOD START—— LET s PUT THEM AWAY EARLY AND LET SOME BENCH PLAYERS GET MAJOR MINUTES 👍
This should be an easy W, against the worst team in league.
Excited to see Dean in action!
