Live Thread: Cavs vs Mavericks
2026-11-14The road weary Cavaliers are home to take on the Mavericks, but they’ll be without their entire starting lineup. In addition to Mobley and Merrill being out, the Cavs have decided to sit the top of their rotation after not getting home till around noon today. Frankly, I think it’s the right decision, and the NBA should’ve rescheduled the game.
That leaves a probably lineup of Proctor, Thomas, Tyson, Hezonja, and Bryant. I’m excited. It should be fun.
As for the Mavs…
Should be an interesting one. Let’s go run-n-gun Cavs!
Super interesting…this is the style KA wanted more of after losing to the Pacers.
Looks like we have the personnel to do it for stretches now. Very excited to see Proctor / Thomas / Tyson / Watson / Mobley lineups.
What a game. Sorry I couldn’t enjoy it with you all. Really happy with the effort and composure. Really nice to be on the other end of a bench mob win. Kyrie was phenomenal but the Cavs were great top to bottom. Love the effort from Bryant and Hezonja in the paint, and leek, CPJ, and Proctor were lights out what a win.
We missed you during the game. Was so fun. And it isn’t like we beat the jazz or the kings…we beat the Mavs at full strength. Proctor outplayed Kyrie…that alone gives me so much more hope for this season
“When did you know that the starters would not be playing tonight?”
Proctor: “In the locker room (chuckles)”
I’m not crowning Norchad an NBA starter…but his game does remind me of Reggie Evans a bit.
Oh. Nice comp. Deep cut.
Should these guys be the starters every third or fourth game of the regular season? I’d probably tune in more often.
KA : Win says a lot about our young guys, who impressed since training camp. Not surprised at the leap they have made. Special win, great for the crowd. Impressed with Norchad. Discovery is big in games like this. Proctor – on a B2B, impressive across the board. (Ducks the question about the usual starters betting the message about effort – asks media to ask the team). Tyson rapidly recovering after ankle issue. Mobley should be back soon enough, not a serious sprain. Happy with FO continually bringing up players from the Charge that are useful (he doesn’t see charge… Read more »
In other words he is either in shock or going to repeat mistakes. Time will tell.
54-40 REBOUNDING ADVANTAGE
31-23 ASSIST ADVANTAGE
SHARING THE BALL ON OFFENSE, EFFORT AND PHYSICALITY ON DEFENSE
TRADE THE PRIMADONNAS
Highly entertaining. Omier can play a few minutes when everyone is back.
Cavs might have their long term “backcourt of the future” already in uniform.
Most fun I’ve had as a Cavs fan all year
Best game of the season.
HEZONJA 22 POINTS, ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION KBOZO??????????
NORCHAD HEZONJA BRYANT FRONTCOURT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
What a W!!!! If not for these young guys i might not tune in again
PROCTOR TRIPLE DOUBLE
TP TD?
THATS RIGHT
GREAT WiN BY THE “ MOB SQUAD “ ———— SO MANY STARS / STORIES TO TELL————-WAY TO “ STICK IT TO SILVERN “ !!!!!!!!
This game better reset Kenny’s understanding of this whole season. We aren’t on the last year of old heads! We can approach this much like that pacers’ team that made the finals. We have waves of ball handlers and shot makers!
And don’t run Spida, Harden, Mobley, & JA into the damn ground.
Merrill, Tyson, Leek, Proctor, Super Mario, and Bryant can all play some. That is 11 with Watson.
TOs kept Dallas in it, to the extent they were. 16-7. But CPJ had 5 of those.
I predict Kenny will refer to rebounding effort in the presser.
LETS. FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Best win of the year.
Proctor & Thomas good again (like the Knicks game). Tyson with a good game. Hezonja & Bryant excellent.
Proctor one dime short of a triple double: 24/11/9.
Did you just say proctor had a “good” game Jason?
Hah. I stand corrected. Great game. Best of his career by a mile. Though the game vs NY was very good as well.
Haha I love it dude. Thomas and proctor giving shades of (and I do mean shades of…long way to go) Irving and Waiters but better
TYRESE PROCTOR SHOULD BE THE STARTING PG
He BARELY got a triple double while playing with backups and two way guys against the other team’s starters. Prisoner of the moment much Chris? Haha what a game!!!!
Btw I was being sarcastic he totally should
LMFAOOOO WELL PLAYED
A little early for that. But if it is a night where Harden does not have it, Kenny should be more willing to go to Proctor. Or give Harden a rest. Or Spida, with Leek. Or Proctor can play some 2 as well.
So impressed with the effort! Proctor is just nails. Had no clue his handles were this good
NORCHAD OMIER IS A BALLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful stuff. Burnt the clock and then cut inside for the Omier dunk. Game?
LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
Tyson played around 30 min yesterday. Has the best +/- of tonight’s starters. And his jumper looks a little more like last season’s.
GUYS ARE FATIGUED, GOTTA PUSH UNTIL THE END
GOOD TIMEOUT
Bryant might need an IV.
WE NEED A DOCTOR OVA HEYA
Get super Mario the ball on the block. Dude can pass with the best of em
yup get him screenning for the PnR, force mismatch then post
Our guard depth is all of a sudden the best it’s ever been
The is the best game of the season by far. Proctor’s range is crazy!
PROCTOR CANNOT BE STOPPED
PROCTOR FROM DEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MELEEK COOKING TO THE RACK!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME CPJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????? WHAT A FINISH!@
WHAT A PASS NORCHAD TO MINIX!!!!!!!!!!!
SUPER FUCKING MARIO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SUPER MARIO BEAST MODE
Good lesson for our starters…you counter the other team’s runs by staying calm, not trying to play hero ball, continuing to pass…
And when all else fails let Super Mario play hero ball
CPJ Shake & Bake!!!
6 CAVS IN DOUBLE FIGURES
Kids need to be careful here. And good to see Kenny has been to timeout remediation class.
SIGN NORCHAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT LETS GOOOOOOO
Proctor was on our bench the whole time last year?????
A KBOZO MASTER CLASS
Seriously he should have been in the rotation already LAST year
Two things are happening that are astounding if you think about who is playing. We are playing with more effort than our opponent…and we are playing MORE physically dominant than our opponent. I love it. Sit the old heads for the next game too
YOU GOTTA SHOOT THAT TYSON!!!!!!!!!!! CMON SOMEONE BE AGGRESSIVE
PROCTOR SHOULD BE OUR STARTING PG
Kyrie looking old.
This is a wild indictment of the older guys’ effort level
SUPER MARIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MELEEK IS SUCH A LEADER GIVING HIS BOY A HUG!!!
He is looking like a certain all world pg in Philly looked his rookie year…
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
#GODUKE #THEBROTHERHOOD
NOTHING EASY !!!!! BUNCHA DAWGS ON THIS SQUAD TRADE THE PRIMADONNAS
NORCHAD HIVE RISE UP!!!!!!!!!!!
MY LAST YEAR “ SCOUTING “ REPORT ON NORCHARD WAS HOW HE WAS A “ BEAST—- A BANGER “. !!
An aggressive scoring moment from CPJ!
TOTALLY AGREE ON SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESCHEDULED——LIKE CLF ALWAYS SAYS “ SILVERN FOR PRISON “————- A NORCHARD SITING 👍👍———-WELCOME BACK NYQUIL!!
So far so good. Keep Proctor and/or Thomas on court at all times?
Meleek’s ability to hit the three while moving laterally is really something.
Aldama, a quality third big, is on a 3/52 deal
NORCHAD OMIER BEAST MODE
Thank you Nate!!!!! definitely interested to see how these guys do
