Official Cleveland Cavaliers Thread: A regular season team

Evan Mobley will be a top 5 NBA player soon

 

I think in 5 minutes Mobley has already had two wide open threes because the defense can't cover him, threat of him left another player wide open for a layup, and blocked / tipped / impacted 3 shots

 

okoro air balling a wide open corner 3

guess that's why levert won the starting job

 

Garland really struggling

 

love kevin's old man game

 

Hmm 40% into the first game of the season, and I can see why Okoro isn't starting

 

Mitchell looks good

 

early obviously, but levert is doing a much better job moving the ball than he ever did last season

 

And why they couldn’t swap him for the rookie in the Mitchell trade.

 

Cedi was a lifesaver in the first half

 

Feel like they have been on the floor from slipping or knocked down so much tonight.

 

I was watching on mute and missed some of the third quarter - did Garland get hurt or did we just bench him for being completely ineffective?

 

he got poked in the eye by gary trent in the second quarter

 

mitchell was really good after a slow start. i feel pretty encouraged by most of what we did tonight, though not closing the game was obviously disappointing

 

Donovan Mitchell

 

LeVert and Mitchell tonight

 

If LeVert can be half that good when Garland is back, then damn we have a stew going

 

81-1

 

Dean Wade playing really well

 

Has Caris LeVert been drunk since 10:30 PM on Friday?

He went from looking like an all star to never touching a basketball before in 48 hours

 

we're getting dark side levert tonight

 

So that 4th quarter was pretty cool. Crafty veteran Love doing work.

 

Donovan Mitchell is somehow even better than I envisioned. He’s a legit MVP candidate.

 

Cant say it enough, I freaking love watching him play basketball. His defense for Utah at the end was bad but he is legit star.

 

They have stopped playing inside out which I guess I should have expected since they traded for Mitchell, but they have fallen in love with the three lately and I think that will bite them sooner than later. That being said my expectations have grown for them once Garland returns.

 

good team, team's good

 

Garland back tonight, let’s get it.

 

Was Bickerstaff waiting for them to score 20 straight before calling TO?

 

They were jacking threes with no off ball movement the whole back half of the quarter.

 

Solid win, probably shouldn’t have been that close. This team is so much fun.

 

Wonder how many games the rest of the year the bench will go 0-11 from 3 pt FG

 

I still like that one time where the Cavs got Jarrett Allen for a bag of beans.

 

Detroit fuckin blows.

 

I can’t wait to mollywop LeBron’s bitch ass Sunday.

 

I think the argument can be made that Mobley is the best defensive big in the NBA.

 

Eight blocks is something

 

Eat shit Bron

 

Cavs social media team has been solid this year

 

didn't play that well either. 8-32 from 3. garland cooled off in the second half. and the bigs were in foul trouble in the first. this team is really fun

 

Thats only the second time we've beat Lebron, the other was the Baron Davis game the season after Lebron left.

 

Ugh, brutal collapse tonight

First night the Mitchell / Garland dynamic didn't work. Mitchell was 10/15 shooting and super efficient and yet Garland turned the ball over or took bad shots time after time late 4th and yet we kept letting him bring it up and lead. Need to just tell Garland its not your night at some point when Mitchell is just standing there

I know its not going to be a perfect ride and 8-2 in our first 10 is amazing, but you just flat out should never lose games in the NBA with a 99% win probability with less than 3 mins left

 

Over 80% Win Prob within 8 minutes in 3 straight losses and over 90% in the final 3 minutes in two of them … woof

Get the team back to Cleveland

 

The only game I’ve been conscious to watch was the Laker game. Clearly it’s my fault, I’ll get my coke guy on the phone.
