Live Thread: Clippers @ Cavs
2025-03-30Good afternoon CtB!
The Cavs welcome the Los Angeles Clippers to the banks of the Cuyahoga River for a Sunday matinee that could possibly be a NBA Finals preview… The red-hot Clips need to keep winning to stay in the playoff realm in the West, while the Cavs need to keep winning until they secure the top seed in the East.
Tip off is scheduled for 3:30PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live (except their feed in Ohio is screwed up so I hope they go out of business) on Fanduel Sports Network, Go Cavs!
DAMN KNICKS BREEZING PAST 76ers —- WAS HOPING THEY WOULD HAVE A COMPETITIVE GAME TONIGHT
They still won’t have Brunson back tomorrow. I think we’re 10.5 point favorites.
GOOD STATS TREIZE —- THANK s —I LIKE ICE —- HAVE ALWAYS ROOTED/ SUPPORTED FOR HIM TO SUCCEED—- STILL THINK ALOT OF HIS MINUTES SHOULD BE DISTRIBUTED DRE / SAM / 🚦
now is the time for Ice’s minutes to save wear and tear on some other players
Isaac Okoro in 2024-25: October – 5 games, 17 minutes per game, 1 of 4 on three-point attempts for 25%, +7 +/- per 48 minutes; November – 13 games, 22 min/gm, 19 of 41 for 46% on 3pt, +8 per 48; December – 5 games, 22 min/gm, 10 of 16 for 63% on 3pt, +19 per 48; January – 5 games, 14 min/gm, 1 of 17 for 6% on 3pt, +21 per 48; February – 5 games, 18 min/gm, 5 of 13 for 39% on 3pt, +28 per 48; March – 16 games, 17 min/gm, 13 of 40 for 33%… Read more »
“DITTO “ WITH SCOTCH/ CLF ON ICE—— I REALLY THINK HE IS OVERRATED AS A DEFENDER AND A LIABILITY ON OFFENSE—— WANT HIM TO PROVE ME WRONG—— BUT HE HAS HAD 5 YRS TO DO SO —-DONT THINK YOU CAN RISK “ GIVING “ THE EXPERIMENT “ KEY MINUTES IN PLAYOFFS——— DRE IS ONLY GETTING 20 MINUTES—- UP HIS MiNUTES TO 30
So far this season, 125 guards who are taller than 6’4″ have played more than 500 NBA minutes.
Among these 125 guards, ranking in offensive rebounds per 36 minutes:
and ranking in defensive rebounds per 36 minutes:
Ron Holland, Isiah Stewart and Bickerstaff get ejected in Pistons loss to the Wolves.
Ron Holland is becoming a big instigator. He got into it with Allen recently. Stewart is a headcase and needs a shrink!
Nice win by the Cavs. Okoro had the shooting touch today.
And still ended up -11 in a small role. He scored 11 and was a nightmare on the court. Sam needs to take his mins when Jerome comes back. Sam’s defense is severely underrated and his gravity on offense is light years better
yup… or Javonte Green. It’s clear any smart team doesn’t bother guarding Okoro at all unless he has the ball, which is ironically also the reason he can actually get offensive rebounds because nobody bothers boxing him out since no one bothers to guard him LMFAOOO
NEWS FLASH—— OKC IS FRIGGIN GOOD!!! ——- AND YOUNG!!!
NOMAD bro.. uncle buck thinks cav lose in 5 or 6 games to OKC if they meet in the title series.. currently, i would be thrilled for the cavs to just get to the conference finals.. i am smelling faint odors of disappointment wafting in the air..
I hear you about losing in the east. It’s the hardest route to the finals for an east team since lebron left the east. However…OKC is vulnerable in the playoffs just like last year. SGA is a foul merchant like Harden. 10 of his ppg come from the free throw line. Harden has had the same issue his whole career. He doesn’t get the calls in the playoffs. SGA is better than Young in Atlanta but I don’t think he is better than prime Harden. Their route to the finals is absurdly tough. And if they get there and face… Read more »
B2B FOR KNICKS — CAN HELP THE CAVS
GO GAURDS —— HEY RAOUL —- CAN MANZARDO HIT 25 HRs —— 80—90 RBIs —— THAT WOULD BE HUGE!!!
Guards #1 in the AL Central, back in usual spot.
Knicks will be coming off a b2b on Wednesday.
Good win even though no Kawhi.
Magic # at 4. 7 games left.
Let’s TCB & win the next 3 at home (NY, Sac, Chi) with a win in SA in the middle.
DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS – EVAN MOBLEY DPOY
GOOD “ W “ SURVIVED THIS WICKED SCHEDULE— GET SOME WELL DESERVED R&R —- KNICKS WILL BE SIMILAR TO THE PISTONS — WANT TO SEND A MESSAGE——- WOULD STILL LIKE TO SEE DRE GET MORE THAN 20 MINUTES / GAME
Magic #4
Cavs were so much better closing out games earlier in the season.
Teams are desperate. We aren’t.
It’s a lot easier to close out teams that don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel of their season. Plus most of the Cavs killer instinct off the bench comes from one Ty Jerome.
Good win. Go Cavs.
Pfweeuuu!!!
Clutch FTs DG!
Cavs had a 15 point lead.
And now it’s only 3.
No 3s and get the damn rebound.
The Cavs have stunk this quarter.
Seems like the only sure handed/good decision makers at the end of games are Garland and Allen.
These Clippers won’t go away.
Okoro -10 in 11 minutes and zero rebounds, if we lose this game it’s cuz he fucking sucks!!!!!! WAKE UP KA
Not a very good 4th quarter. Close it out!
And the Guardians win!
Great quarter!
The golden turd doing turd things!
hate that guy. did you invent the excellent nickname for him?
No I think it was EG?!
Do we have a locked down defender that can maybe stop Powell?
Okoro who we hate.
(real is he probably should have been an All Star over Harden and he’s really good)
I was thinking more like Mobley
Scheme worked well.
I love when Allen jumps the entry pass on the huge bigs. It’s my favorite play of his.
Javonte who’s glued to the bench cuz KA is a coward
Why is every close out on a 3 point shooter gotta be reviewed for a flagrant?
Sorry, guys! I got caught up watching the Guardians.
meeting Eli for the game today, CtB will be in the house!
Go Cavs! Go Guards (up 3-0)
