Live Thread: Bulls @ Cavs Preseason
2025-10-07Good evening CtB!
The leaves are changing, some much needed rain is falling… it must mean NBA preseason is here as the Cavs begin their 2025-26 campaign against the Chicago Bulls here on the banks of the Cuyahoga River. The good guys have the highest of expectations since LeBron 2.0 while the Bulls are trying to dig themselves out of perpetual mediocrity. Darius Garland and Max Strus are out for the long haul while Craig Porter Jr. is a game time decision. It looks like Chicago is all systems go expect for Coby White.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM Eastern time and will broadcasted live on Peacock and Fanduel Sports Network Ohio, Go Cavs!
REALIZE IT S PRESEASON—- 51–33 REBOUND DIFFERENCE —— CAVS ( DONT CARE PRESEASON OR NOT) HAVE TO ESTABLISH A REBOUNDING CULTURE
tough to say. Hunter was really good and engaged, Tyson ended a lot of possessions and moved the ball (I was shocked to see he had zero boards).
If we can get real rebounding out of the 2 or the 3 spot, it’ll be fine. We know Donovan can when motivated. If Hunter can as well we are gold.
Not optimistic about Hunter suddenly turning that part of his game around.
Lmaoooooo Thomas Bryant u silly man
Travers looks like he’s added some bulk.
Drop bears….lol!!!!
IS KILLIAN HAYES SHOWING ANYTHING
Ass
TYRESE “ STEAL OF THE DRAFT “. ALOT OF TEAMS REGRETTING THEY PASSED ON HIM
YEAH SOMETHING “ NYQUIL “ HAS TO IMPROVE ON / DEFENSE- FOUL TROUBLE—-STILL THINK THERE IS SO MUCH POTENTIAL
CPJ and Proctor look fun this half.
Tomlin hasn’t been good: just lost defensively.
I think I’d start Tyson over Merrill for now if he can continue to defend like this.
Tyson feels like he’s going to be making too many plays to keep off the floor.
DOES TYSON SHOOTING MECHANICS LOOK BETTER—— SEE HE WAS 0/5 FROM 3’s
It’s ok. I think him getting downhill and getting extra possessions is enough positive impact. He jumped off the screen in that first shift
ICE “ REVENGE “ GAME
GOOD NEWS CLF —- PLAYING WITH CONFIDENCE— IS SAM “ MY MAN “ INJURED OR COACHING DECISION NOT TO PLAY
minor injury, could be also in tandem with wanting to see TYson start.
3 assists for Tyson @ NOMAD, definitely moves the ball and knows where it’s supposed to go
leads team at half.
GOOD TO SEE TOMLIN GET SOME RUN AND BE PRODUCTIVE—— WHERE IS SAM MY MAN
injured and out on Sam
Backups have zero offense without Mobley/Spida/DG other than that, flawless.
First look at Okoro in a different strip. I’m ok with it.
Yup, glad that shit is over!
NAEQWON KEEP SHOOTING!!!!
DEANDRE HUNTER UNLOCKED AT THE THREE THANK GOD KENNY GOT THE MEMO
WELCOME BACK LNJ— AND CPJ ( 2 YEARS AGO FORM ) 👍—— AND WELCOME BACK MR STEAL
LNJ looks…old. Got a fun deflection or two but iono
IF WADE “ FLINCHES “ TO SHOOT IN PRE SEASON—- IT s NOT GOING TO HAPPEN DURING THE SEASON— “ GO BIG OR GO G LEAGUE “
He’s been working the middies! I don’t mind it
NOT WATCHING ( CANT GET ) THANK s FOR ALL THE POST a CLF ——- DID TYSON LOOK MORE COMFORTABLE “ IN THE FLOW OF THE OFFEENSE “——
He looked like a bigger Josh Hart – defense incredible, won a few possessions just being an energy guy. Not sure he did anything in the half court at all.
Tyson looks great on defense, tbd on offense
Tyson looks incredible.
Mobley shot looks even better than last year and the big to big stuff was fire.
good to see ya back
we back up! let’s argue about how we need Chris Boucher and Delon Wright!
SHOOT THE DAMN BALL WADE QUIT FLINCHING
backups can’t score but they defend.
RAGE TIMEOUT BILLY D
Mobley looks massive, loving Hunter at the 3.
Love the big starting lineup, finally look like a proper playoff lineup
GREAT TO HAVE ALL OF YOU BACK …………. “ MORE BEER 🍺 PLEASE “ —-THANKS CLF 👍🙏—- GO CAVS —- ICE “ REVENGE “ GAME 🤪
MORE BEER PLEASE!
