Live Thread: Cavs @ Jazz
2025-03-23Happy Sunday Cavs fans. Welcome to The Great Salt Lake. The Cavs are trying to get on the right side of the win column for the first time in six games, and Utah is desperately trying to tank their way to Cooper Flagg. The big answer this afternoon, can the Cavs beat a team trying to lose?
No word yet on whether the Cavs will play taller players who can rebound and play defense to deal with their problem of not being able to rebound and play defense. I won’t be here to join you. I have other commitments, as do these other Jazz players. For Cleveland, Bates is out and Tyson is questionable (but wouldn’t play if he was available anyway). Hopefully Cleveland can get their bounce back. Go Cavs.
PER FTS —- SPIDA OUT TONIGHT/ GROIN—— REST HIM/ GET HIM HEALTHY FOR PO’s
He hasn’t been 100% for a few weeks now. Just imagine if KA had him playing JB minutes.
Jaylon Tyson also out. Hope his knee is okay.
yeah weird how he popped on there out of nowhere right when they need him in theory.
SCOTCH 2 —- THANK YOU
—-SO TRUE—-AM FEELING LESS BLUE ——-WHEW !!!
The stats on March specifically in the NBA have a long history of confusion and would often make you think the NBA champion was a bad team. Don’t get caught up in the match blues. The Cavs are fine.
Yeah, it’s a weird month. Stay the course.
I would agree. Health and being No. 1 in east is what matters
some good news: Patrick Beverley sez the Cavs have no chance.
I can look it up obviously…but is he still in the league?
don’t think so, he is trying to get paid for yammering
No. He’s overseas somewhere.
READ WHAT— “ DELLY “ DID ——- THEY JUST DONT COME ANY BETTER THAN HIM ——- KA SHOULD FIND SOME POSITION FOR HIM WHEN HE IS FINISHED PLAYING
totally agree.
SO IT APPEARS WE ARE GOING INTO PLAYOFFS WITH TT AS OUR BACK UP POST—— YESTERDAY s “ BREAKOUT TT GAME “ SHOULD NOT GIVE BOTH KA’s / FANS ANY CREDENCE THAT TT IS THE BACK UP ANSWER———- I REALIZE ALL MY POSTt ARE “ DOOMSDAY — NEGATIVE “ POSTS—— JUST THROWING OUT THERE— IN MY OPINION— LEGITIMATE CONCERNS—— IF I CAN SEE “ WARTs — OPPOSING COACHES ALSO NOTICE AND WILL ATTEMPT TO EXPOSE/ EXPLOIT ——— GO CAVS
AGREE RAOUL —- AND I REALIZE EVERY TEAM GOES THROUGH SLUMPS —- EVEN WHEN WINNING THERE WERE SOME “ WARTS SURFACING “ —- WE CAN T AFFORD TO GO PLAYOFFS NOT FOCUSED / SHOOTING LIKE SHIT / GETTING BEAT UP ON THE BOARD s / TENTATIVE DEFENSE——— OTHER TEAM s APPEAR GETTING PLAYOFF READY — “ TURNING IT UP A NOTCH OR 2 “. WILL SEE WHAT KIND OF PERFORMANCE WE GET AGAINST BLAZER s / REMAINDER OF THE SEASON———- DONT THINK ANY PLAYOFF SERIES IS GOING TO BE A CAKEWALK— IF OUR PLAY STAYS LIKE IT HAS BEEN— WE… Read more »
THANK s NATE — MUCH APPRECIATED—- WAS JUST CONCERNED ABOUT MY “ FELLOW CTB BROS “
HEY NATE MAYBE YOU ARE NOT AT LIBERTY / LEGALLY TO ANSWER THIS ——— JUST CONCERNED ABOUT LONG TIME CTB “ BROS “ BEN W — AND EVIL
GENIUS—— HAVENT SEEN A POST FROM THEM IN A LONG TIME ——- IS EVERYTHING OK WITH THEM—
I need to touch base with Ben, but he does do regular NBA vlogs on his insta. I keep meaning to link them.

I reached out to EG a few months ago. He is good, just very busy with work.
THE WAY WE ARE ( NT ) PLAYING—— THE WAY OTHER TEAMS ARE PLAYING—— HAWKS / PACERS / PISTONS —- I DONT THINK CAVS CAN BE OVER CONFIDENT ABOUT WINNING ANY PLAYOFF SERIES—— WILL SEE HOW THEY PERFORM ( OR UNDERPERFORM) AGAINST THE BLAZERS
pretty sure the Cavs were unbeatable for a month or so before a bad week
AN UGLY WIN IS BETTER THAN A PRETTY LOSS
right. W or L is all that matters
Not a very well played game but hopefully it gets the Cavs going again.
Starters were amazing, bench is on fraud watch.

Well despite the garbage play we are back to a double digit lead.
Starters have been locked in, our garbage ass bench keeps blowing it
and Kenny refusing to play more than one good rebounder except for the starting lineup.
