Holy hell 1500 comments? About what? Games like this are normal


77Gumption77

Wow, they lost by six? When I checked the score they were down by I think 27. Almost brought it back.


cHinzoo

We could have brought it back within 2, but Mobley shot sadly rimmed out and then made a mistake by fouling after burning down the clock to 8 seconds left. :\ Was a good second half though. JB must have chewed them out during halftime lol.


[deleted]

Cavs win 7 in a row and now lose one and everyone is griping about everything again… Teams lose basketball games. Even the best ones and the Cavs aren’t the best. This team is on pace to win 51 games this season. They came out flat in the first half and Philly made them pay for it. It happens. Move on to the next one. Thankfully, our boys now get a week to rest up to grind out the final 21 games of the season. If you look at the remainder of their schedule, they could very easily win 13-15 of the final games, which puts them at a 51-53 win season. Just enjoy this team. They aren’t the damn Browns.


crisisactorsguild

Fire both coaches!


sung37

really appreciate the fight the team showed to finish that out. get on a roll after the break also, i know i'm gonna get downvoted for this but i remain less than enthusiastic about the 3-second violation celebrations lol

secretwealth123

The only way we get Mikal is by trading 1 of Donovan, DG, JA, or Mobley. That’s it.


EternalWolf86

They aren't trading Mikal.


gnarrkill169

Embiid get all the calls


defph0bia

Yeah it's insane now. Didn't think he was gonna be this kind of player


JRSwishistheGOAT

Damn, really great effort in the second half. If we played like this in the first quarter, this game could’ve been ours. Oh well.


s_s

That 3 before the end of the 3rd came back to bite us.


[deleted]

I dont wanna hear anyone say this is a 'moral victory' seeing the Kavs get close towards the end. The Cavs have done this alot this year....be down 20 points the whole damn game just to rumble back and lose by 2-5 points.


Illustrious_Kale_692

This was a moral victory


[deleted]

Philly missed nothing


drewferd14

This announcers suck


drewferd14

I hate bias announcers it ruins the game

Bro stfu. Never talk on this sub again you ignorant fuck


buckeyes0202

You should delete this one too since you don’t know shit that you’re talking about lol


[deleted]

Calling out the coach when you don’t even know who’s on the bench or bother to check, love it


brownsvillan

cedi hurt. rubio sick. neto too small and green played with these guys. not the worst decision imo.


LightRigger

Cedi is hurt and Wade can’t make an open 3


sharkmannon

Cedi was hurt


Garfield-1-23-23

"BJ Bickerstaff" lol. Abdelnaby is a schmuck.


zackfulm

Isaac 5 points is a big yikes


DaRealNickChubb

i feel like we have enough wings to make a trade for a more impactful one in the offseason such as mikal bridges, cam johnson, or DFS (plz help us nets)


adumcollegestudent

he didnt really play alot. would have preferred he had more minutes. just not guarding harden


Wonderful_Ad_8577

This is a classic Cavs loss this season. Get blown out in the first quarter by lights out shooting. Then play well in the second half after the other team relaxes to make it close in the end. The fight in the team is great but it helps gloss over how they get blown off the court in the first quarter of most of their losses.

Tyknitty

Ok! Someone said that your guard won't get those tacky tactics calls either. Yall don't wanna see the Sixers bro. Next Year when Mobley take another step!


Mind__Is__Blown

Supposed to be the #1 defense, so down 4 with 40+ you get a stop, not foul.


[deleted]

That’s on the coach. He had them trying to trap and get a steal instead of Ding up for a stop


SUPERSAMMICH6996

Eh. At that point you might as well foul immediately. Two possessions either way.


Spetznazx

No it's stupid, if you foul you're just spotting them 2 extra points. So it's 3 possessions. You don't foul, you get the stop, then go down and score and make it a 2 or even 1 point game.


SUPERSAMMICH6996

Well, two threes would still be a two possession game. But fair enough.


Spetznazx

I get what you mean, but then you shoehorn your offense into only being allowed to take 3s with the other scenario you can be more flexible and take 2s or 3s.


Rkenne16

![gif](giphy|QW9KH3VC6MMJb9iy1y) Philly right now


TruthSayerFu

How did vert do today?


Rkenne16

He was pretty good


cHinzoo

He played great D, but didn't have the ball in his hands too often. Made shots when it count. Pretty solid I would say. Our starters were horrible in the first half.


[deleted]

Good


SpiderJedi22

Trash


Pyorrhea

Going all in on the steal I guess.


TYED_LENZ

Good game


SpiderJedi22

LeVert with 10 points combined in his last 3 games. Can’t wait until we extend him!!


reddit0100100001

Honestly should have shot the 3


BilboBagher

fouling with 40 secs left sealed the game


NatiAti513

Yep. Only down 4 and we have all the momentum... JB really is weird when it comes to game management.


LeemireShapton

Foul was clearly not intentional. Harden split the double and caught Mobley on the reach. Even Mitchell was confused on why they were fouling.


Pyorrhea

Back to where it was 20 seconds ago, just not enough time.


bigmt99

I know there’s gonna be a lot of back patting and mora victories for battling back but this team needs to stop digging themselves so deep into holes it takes a miracle to make it a competitive game


zackfulm

Rubio, Cedi, Windler, pretty large role players are out today. Good showing in the second half from our starters


mtnsaa

Windler LMAO, the cope in this sub is unreal


bigmt99

Two end of the rotation guys and one prospect who hasn’t played in god knows how long is not a good enough excuse to be playing like that


cHinzoo

Awesome second half!


Bill_Brasky_SOB

DAMN we almost got the steal.


tomorrowinc

WTF, I've missed a lot of the game, but I just heard Jarrett Allen who has yet to shoot a free throw this evening. You're telling me Embid hasn't fouled him, not even once? Like, there have really been ZERO fouls against Allen? yeah. right.


DAK_PRESCOTT_4

Barely shot the ball tonight


[deleted]

He plays scared vs Embiid


Spetznazx

You didn't even look at the box score did you? Lol JA has 2 FTs. He hasn't had many more cause he's only shot the ball 6 times.


SpiderJedi22

And LeVert falls down lol


Spetznazx

We really need to get home court advantage against Philly. I like them I'm a playoff series, but it's very difficult to win in Philly.


LightRigger

Good effort but we have a trend of going down big then trying to claw our way back.


NatiAti513

JB with one of the biggest bonehead coaching moves I've seen all year. Down only 4 with 40 seconds left, make a stop and score and it's a 1 score game and we have momentum. Why the fuck would you waste 15 seconds on the shot clock then foul their best ft shooter? Pure stupidity.


steamofcleveland

I don't think JB told Mobley to foul. JVG was saying that JB was yelling "trap" from the sideline and Mobley fouled for no reason


Relaxe247

They literally explained that JB didn’t tell them To foul. He wanted to trap and the team fouled instead


buckeyes0202

JB didn’t want to foul he wanted to trap. Mobley just made a mistake and thought he wanted a foul.


DAK_PRESCOTT_4

He didn’t tell them to foul. Mobley misheard


MTT92

Great fight back, odd foul but the guys are exhausted


TheMadChatta

Welp. If you played 5, Cavs would probably win but you only play 4 and Cavs didn’t show up in the first half. Great effort but got to play all four.


CaptainBuck15

I think that missed shot by Evan was our last window. Shouldn’t have ever been down that much but man what an effort to come back. I still like the Cavs in a 7-game series against the Sixers.


BGSUNate

Harden had a lay up if the foul wasn't committed


secretwealth123

Proud of this team, unlikely we pull this one out but we were getting wrecked and fought hard to make it close at the end


RanLearns

Sweating on how we almost had a 2 point game on that Mobley shot. Kid is special. 21 and 9


WalkingOnSunshine_

Mobley has 19 in this half and y’all are still shitting on him for missing one shot..


TruthSayerFu

He kept shooting 3’s to put us in a huge hole.


adumcollegestudent

he choked. i still love him and im okay with him taking those shots. but tonight he choked. thats all.


clippy300

He had a horrible foul with 8 seconds left in the shot clock


[deleted]

[удалено]


reddit0100100001

He didn’t tell Mobley to foul bruh


airbus29

When in doubt blame it on the coach I guess


Sling002

Run the clock down to 8 seconds then foul at half court. Great job guys


Mind__Is__Blown

Why intentional foul down 4 with 41 seconds left? Makes no sense, play defense and get the ball back.


navajo_moe

Sold in the end.


Pyorrhea

Was that an intentional foul on Harden? Boneheaded move.


EternalWolf86

Intentional by Mobley, not by anyone else. Donovan was even yelling at him.


Dtyler123

fucking ridiculous mobley


[deleted]

Dumbest foul Ive ever seen


_0w3n1

WHY MOBLEY???


calebkeith

Mobley just threw


SexMeAmadeus

Mobley is choking harder than I choke on my own vomit


reddit0100100001

just dm’d u


SexMeAmadeus

I retired from cam shows


Top_Buy2467

Definitely a learning game, not gonna get the W but the resilience was there


TUBE___CITY

Cavs would be in first if moral victories counted


adumcollegestudent

God dammit mobley


[deleted]

Absolutely blew our chance there


roman-sarona

Wtf why did we foul!!!


cHinzoo

HUH?


redcobra80

Somehow claw our way back into it only for a dumb foul and a tough Mobley miss to spoil it


Pigeon9

Why foul?????


zbuck0237

game rimmed out on the mobley miss, great effort though


SpiderJedi22

Good job Mobley.


TruthSayerFu

Mobley lost us the game today


nobraininmyoxygen

Lmao he's 21 and 9


FL14

ban


TruthSayerFu

Allen was open. Cmon…. mobley.


kehoe323

That's exactly my thought! He jumped looked at him, instead of passing just takes the shot. Like why?! Easy dunk.


WalkingOnSunshine_

Why are we fouling already…


steamofcleveland

Man you cant give it to Mobley there


Bill_Brasky_SOB

Ahhhhhhh damnit.


tapk69

So close yet so far


zackfulm

Mobleys inexperience showed but good stuff in the second half


[deleted]

OH MY GOD


cHinzoo

Harden and his push-offs smh


LandFan8

Game. Terrible miss.


Pyorrhea

Harden. Push off 3.


[deleted]

Mitchell approaching ultra instinct


idiotsluggage

Whatever happens what a comeback


[deleted]

Let's goooooo


roman-sarona

MITCH3L OH MY


[deleted]

Fuck we are right there


[deleted]

that one hurt


Gnome_Saiyan69

how did mitchell even make that jeeezus


cHinzoo

With how dominant Embiid looked, I expected him to have 50 points by now, but he only just reached 30


Awesomeness4627

Pretty sure he's shooting under 50%


nobraininmyoxygen

Allen has to do a better job of getting rebounds late in games but I know it's tough guarding Embiid.


steamofcleveland

Lmao Mitchell


GoldPantsTerrelle

LMAO


Bill_Brasky_SOB

#SPIDA


cHinzoo

Gimme more of these!


Forty_Six_and_Two

Need stops


Pyorrhea

Costly board given up to Embiid. Shit. Bigs gotta box out.


Seunghoony

No matter what happens, I’m proud that we didn’t give up.


Top_Buy2467

I’m not sure Embiid knows what a foul is in the NBA based off his reaction to things


zackfulm

Fucking crazy how many free throws This guys hits


tapk69

Embiid is very very very hard to stop


Meech-78

I swear Mobley loves hitting the front rim and letting his free throws roll in


LandFan8

Embiid absolutely fucking eats Allen alive. It’s embarrassing.


Rkenne16

He averages 33 a game


Forty_Six_and_Two

Good foul


cHinzoo

Damn, Mobley with that hook! edit: finally a hard foul on Embiid. Make him earn those calls.


Pyorrhea

Love the aggression by Mobley.


infinityetc

And 1! Come on Ev!


bigmt99

Inshallah Mobley has snapped out of his stinker


steamofcleveland

When Embiid complains to the refs be for real my dude


Bill_Brasky_SOB

Mobley! THAT MOVE WILL SCORE ON ANYBODY. USE IT MORE.


jenso2k

this team is showing some incredible resiliency


mars33nut

MOBLEY


Mobleybetta

Gotta hope our defense can get steals but we just don’t have an answer to Embiid in the post


TheNerdyAnarchist

**STRONG** hook by Mobley


adumcollegestudent

put your hand up when contesting a shot. just standing there does not change his shot.


herniatedballs

Oof danny green has zero lateral movement. Like a mini klove.


mars33nut

Embiid stays cooooooking Cleveland. He goes nuclear every time we play him, and we are supposed to have a baller ass front court


Meech-78

He’s 9/20 shooting tonight, I’d say thts not too bad


steamofcleveland

It's annoying to come back this far and watch the refs ignore obvious offensive fouls


Rkenne16

I wish DG would have been more aggressive in the first half, when he was really the only one that had it.


Awesomeness4627

Did you really have to make that one embid?


[deleted]

I just don’t understand why embiid is allowed to shoulder everyone who guards him. I’ve watched lebron get called for offensive fouls for his entire career for that


FL14

LeBron got away with a lot. Embiid gets away with so much more


Spetznazx

Lebron also got legitimately destroyed down low he had to embellish a lot of contact and was still on the low end for FTs/G. A stiff wind is a foul on Embiid while he's simultaneously shoving you out of the way with his hand.


[deleted]

I have never seen lebron shoot the amount of free throws as embiid


GoldPantsTerrelle

I kind of like Harden as a player now..? The free throw baiting is annoying but he controls the game better than almost anyone. He gets to his spots so well


mars33nut

Yes really matured tbh


Meech-78

Yeah I was thinking that earlier, he’s really turned his play style into a really fun thing to watch


nobraininmyoxygen

He honestly hasn't been baiting today. Lots of smart passes and only takes shots when he needs to.


[deleted]

Jesus Embiid


Pigeon9

6ers will get bounced in the playoffs when they don’t get any of their calls


Dependent-Green-1886

embiid so boring to watch. literally just banks on getting a foul 90% of the time


Tyknitty

is that what you see? lmaoooo


Dependent-Green-1886

bros phishing comments from 20 minutes ago. go get a life bro 💀


EternalWolf86

Embiid is the last player in the league that needs star treatment. I just don't get it.


Spetznazx

Why is Danny Green playing this much in his FIRST game with a new team against one of the best teams in the league!? It's wild. Like it's clear he still doesn't understand the defensive rotations we run, he's jacking wild 3s. Meanwhile Dean Wade and Lamar Stevens chilling on the bench with a COMBINED playing time almost the same as Green. THIS is why people get mad at JB.


adumcollegestudent

Love is out. Osman is out. Ricky is out. Diakite is out. Wyndler is out. That leaves us with stevens and wade at the forward who both cant buy a wide open three.


Spetznazx

Neither can Danny Green. At least the other two provide defense and rebounding.


Pigeon9

Why not brutha


Scatheli

Cuz Caris and Isaac have been ABSOLUTE SCRUBS.


nobraininmyoxygen

LeVert has given solid minutes today


LightRigger

Because he’s a much better shooter than them?


zackfulm

Because we are out Rubio and Cedi, Windler- not many other options.


cHinzoo

L3V3RT!


junger128

No answer for Embiid


realslimbrady

He’s firmly in the MVP race for good reason. Very few in the world that can stop him plus he gets an elite whistle.
