Live Thread: 76ers @ Cavs
2025-11-05Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome the Philadelphia 76ers to the banks of the Cuyahoga River for an early season clash between two Eastern Conference teams with designs on making some playoff/championship noise. The 76ers have one of the elite offenses in the NBA so far, so this will be a great measuring stick game for the good guys’ sixth ranked defense. The Cavs also welcome back starting point guard Darius Garland back into the fold, which should juice Cleveland’s bottom five offense (111.3 offensive rating). Also two of the most important players to the Cavs’ early season wins, Jarrett Allen and Sam Merrill, could also be back for a full roster tonight against the Joel Embiid-less Sixers.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Fanduel Sports Network Ohio, Go Cavs!

That play into the fast break was the play of the game.
That was fun stuff. Loving Tyson’s aggressiveness, lack of fear of the moment, and intensity. Allen with his best game of the year, and the general pace.
yup, growing into a solid rotation player
Looks to me like we have 11 rotation level guys. And that is not counting Bryant and CPJ, who are borderline.
Welcome back DG! Sam & JA in the groove. Mitchell just unbelieveably efficient. Mobes good. Another good game from Tyson. 4 in a row in double figures.
Hope Wase is OK.
With the core 4 back, the 5th starter will be interesting. Merrill, Hunter, Tyson, or jumbo with Wade?
BEER 🍺 DRINKING CLASS CLF ??🤪🤪

Did Dean wade get injured?
Yes. Poked in the eye and did not return.
A lot of fun w Darius, Sam, Jarrett all back and contributing.
Allen shuts down Maxey twice in 2 seconds, at the rim and then the 3pt line. A thing of beauty.
Absolutely!
can’t watch in class, but box score checking occasionally
Foul-heavy game, killing the vibe.
21-7 free throw discrepancy LOL
Solid start, ball movement giving good looks. 7 from 16 3pt attempts.
