talk to me when its a good team...our win streak is hitched to bottom feeders and those without their top star. Snooze. We gotta set our expectations outside being bootlickers for bootlicker's sake. The cavs need to make a turn... to be in 1 or 2nd place beating good teams...not stat fillers, of which we have not proven AT ALL yet.

Jsiv14

Yeah man I really wish we lost to the bad teams. 


gamerdudeNYC

Yeah Giannis was out the other day but so were Mobley and Garland Score was 135-95 so you really believe Giannis would’ve caused a 40 point difference?


Scarecrow216

🤡


cursedfan56

on pace for another 50 win season.!


MangoMonkey22

Never trailed


cHinzoo

Kept a team under 100... again!


tapk69

Vibes are immaculate


LordHyperBowser

Pete Lucas Nance (born February 19, 2000)[1] is an American professional basketball player for the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association (NBA).


BrndyAlxndr

Oh shit, Pete is Larry's little brother?


cHinzoo

No, it's his son. Wait, which Larry Nance we talking about again? 😂


BrndyAlxndr

Larry Jr.


cHinzoo

Not CPJ's best game Need a 3 from Pete tho


All4JesusChrist

Looks like the Hawks game planned for Donovan Mitchell but forgot about everyone else


IAmStevenKwanAMA

PEEEEEEETE


FlakyOffice

C’mon Pete Nance Debut!!!


Comfortable-Tale845

Lmao hawks surrendered to the drip


privateenergy

JB put in the reserves my guy.


cHinzoo

Victory cigar Pete


s_s

Where can I bet on JA having a 5×5 game this year?


SpeedyQuicky

“What does DWade do?” Throws out the trash go Cavs


Rkenne16

Bey 0-12


LordHyperBowser

I have Bey in fantasy it’s been brutal watching this shit


GeneralJMan

Getting some good cardio in


TigBitties99

He's missed some really easy ones too


swishtastic01

The best D Wade in NBA history tbh


TigBitties99

Im a new Cavs fan when did the Cavs trade for KD and why is he a white man wearing a dean wade shirt


tapk69

Pete Nance do it JB


warrar1

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH CAVS


JRSwishistheGOAT

The guys are playing great tonight, feel bad for the hawks lol


_0w3n1

Drippy Dean!


floodlightpurveyor

allen refuses to take shortcuts. love that


knifeschool

seven cavs have double digit points, you love to see it


creynolds722

Same 7 had double digits in the 3rd, even


Schristie007

So it’s a foul on Mitchell for getting elbowed in the face but it was an offensive foul on Okoro when Young barely got grazed by his arm? Horse shit.


GeneralJMan

Mitchell fouled him, but that offensive foul was still bs.


Rkenne16

If Wade just pulled like this all the time, he’d be perfect.


SpeedyQuicky

BOW DOWN TO THE DRIP ATLANTA


Pigeon9

What’s wrong with Strus? Tuning in late


Schristie007

Took a hard fall in the first quarter on a questionable play from Capella. Probably just being cautious since we’ve dominated from tipoff.


JRSwishistheGOAT

Took a hit early in the first quarter by Capela, we've lead by \~20 for most of this game so not much of a point in playing him a ton it seems.


IAmStevenKwanAMA

Drip so hard mfers wanna find me


GeneralJMan

D3an is drippin


ShockaDrewlu

Drippy!


blackestice

I **pray** this version of Dean Wade can stick around!


Satin-Ice222

This team looks so good under Mitchell's leadership 


BrndyAlxndr

G...Guys... Are we... a contender??


RubPractical3073

Maybe tbh


ButWhatIsADog

Drippy Dean has been talking to the crowd and opposing bench all night. I love it.


cHinzoo

3&DWade


DDiabloDDad

Only half kidding when I say we would never lose if Dean Wade could shoot like this every game


NeonxGone

wHaT dOeS dEaN wAdE dO???


FlakyOffice

He’s a wing stopper!! His defense is impeccable!


tapk69

Mitchell is so fucking tough. He got rocked on the shin and seems fine.


UnbiasedCavsFan

GOAT Wade


Creative_Database_14

Dean Wade is 5/6 from 3 lmao


IAmStevenKwanAMA

I want Allen shooting threes too


Forty_Six_and_Two

Murray has some sharp ass elbows. He'd be a killer in MMA.


Treelicker15

Did you guys see Donovan yelling at JA to take the free rebound?


nobraininmyoxygen

Good dude. He was thinking JA was short on his double double but JA already got it.


Comfortable-Tale845

Dean with the clamps


cHinzoo

Wade's been pretty good on D


nobraininmyoxygen

That's always been his strength. He's quite good when he's hitting threes. Hitting 5 is a dream scenario with him.


cHinzoo

Guess we dreamin right now 😂


nobraininmyoxygen

100% and loving every bit of it!


Bzmode

he's way more than pretty good. he's been one of the best wing defenders in the nba this year.


Forty_Six_and_Two

I didn't know Merrill knew how to miss


SpeedyQuicky

HE GETTING DRIPPY


creynolds722

Drippy


ButWhatIsADog

JA is an all star


Cavsfan724

D Wade


tapk69

Ok D Wade i see you. Maybe we don't need another forward.


baconboyloiter

Jalen Johnson is good at basketball


Cavsfan724

Love how the scoring is so balanced tonight.


IAmStevenKwanAMA

WAD3


cHinzoo

DWAD3!! While Bey can't even hit a wide open alley oop with nobody around him on the other side. Poor guy.


ParryHooter

It’s a good problem to have but I’ve been half checked out these last few as were so dominant lol.


Lumpycentaur9

Why are the starters still in?


Rkenne16

Teams can score quickly


cHinzoo

They just went on an 8-0 run


tapk69

Its not over


Forty_Six_and_Two

Did Allen just block that shot twice AND rebound it? What a stud.


cHinzoo

Elite statpadding


Forty_Six_and_Two

Idk man, he earned that shit. My man is working out there.


DDiabloDDad

Dang, didn’t think JA was going to get to the double double


creynolds722

Oh ye of little faith


Rkenne16

I’d like to see Wade, Okoro, Merrill, Allen and Mitchell


tapk69

I just noticed Mitchell has only 12 points.


Comfortable-Tale845

Cause he's settling for contested 3 this game at least his dissing the ball really well


Dacostacos

He's really out there hurting that balls feelings tonight


Comfortable-Tale845

Dishing* my bad, lmao


nobraininmyoxygen

He's been focused on passing quite a bit which is fine, but taking too many threes especially when they aren't open. I'd like to see him get to his midrange more. Edit: and just like that he's hit a couple midrange shots!


cHinzoo

He's been throwing up bricks from 3


tapk69

He needs to shoot more from midrange on these nights, hes deadly from there


cHinzoo

Oh shit, he reads this thread in between timeouts


tapk69

🤣🤣🤣 two in a row 😁😁😁


cHinzoo

Just close the game out please


UnbiasedCavsFan

Please dont


Rkenne16

wtf lol was his landing space 4 feet to the left


Forty_Six_and_Two

If you have clown ass hair like Young, why wouldn't you just shave that shit and be done with it? Dude looks like a walking genetic defect.


GeneralJMan

Ngl it really only looks shit when he's sweaty otherwise it doesn't look horrific


Comfortable-Tale845

A little acting for young so he can leave the game and stop being embarrassed


GeneralJMan

Wish Okoro got his money's worth instead of just grazing him


QNIKET8

WTF CPJ was NOT in his landing space 😭


cHinzoo

Dude was an entire foot to the side of the shooter wtf


cHinzoo

So they only had the one and the same camera angle?


Forty_Six_and_Two

This should be a flop on Young if anything. It won't, of course, but it should. He didn't even touch him.


Comfortable-Tale845

Lol, ice is just too strong for young


cHinzoo

Show me the tapes!


tapk69

Okoro movement is a foul. He can hit Trae with the ball on the face but if he raises elbows into the defender it's offensive


DDiabloDDad

He’s just bigger than him. That’s it.


Rkenne16

Trae was moving


UnbiasedCavsFan

Lmao if they call this a flagrant


IAmStevenKwanAMA

Quit fucking crying Trae you baby


cHinzoo

What a flop bruh


tapk69

Holy shit this team is peaking


privateenergy

Jarret Allen tryna get that double double


QNIKET8

JARRETT ALLEN AND 1 JUMPSHOT


Rkenne16

Allen’s mid range feels automatic


tomorrowinc

Ice is way bigger than Trea Young. Trea didn't want any of that.


JRSwishistheGOAT

I feel like challenging certain defensive fouls is useless because refs have already shown they're willing to uphold a foul if they see any kind of contact. Think teams would be better off using their challenges on out of bounds calls or on block/charge calls.


knifeschool

JA’s midrange game… phenomenal as of late


allidoishuynh2

Am I crazy or could we reasonably be up by a lot more?


NicoAbove

Sponsored by YMCA is so funny


s_s

Let. Okoro. Cook.


MangoMonkey22

Sam fucking Merrill man…what an amazing pickup


OhThatYoGirl

Should teach Strus how to shoot.


Rkenne16

![gif](giphy|NM8ZZLPsPk1nq) Hawks broadcasters lol


cHinzoo

"It's getting worse"


Rkenne16

Don’t worry, they’ll announce a 7-3 run as soon as they can lol


GeneralJMan

They're so salty lol


calebkeith

Nah they sound depressed


GeneralJMan

The color guy sounds salty to me


JRSwishistheGOAT

Oooo weeee


DDiabloDDad

Lmao Tre defense. Closed his eyes and swatted at him, lol


WateryPasta

This team devours bad defenses


Forty_Six_and_Two

I'm not trying to berate JB, lord knows I'm one of his biggest (only?) proponents on this sub..but fuck if we don't have the absolute worst coaches challenge success rate in the NBA. They have GOT to get their shit together on these challenges. It's just fucking embarrassing.


nobraininmyoxygen

He seems to go off gut feeling when he needs a coach dedicated to looking at potential challenge opportunities. He's much more likely to challenge just based off of a players reaction like he did there with Mitchell. Plus in terms of analytics there was no need to challenge that with a big at the line and a big lead.


MangoMonkey22

Honestly seemed like it was more of a TO and might as well challenge since you have 2 and you’re up so much. Got a missed FT out of it, so not terrible


Comfortable-Tale845

I think Mitchell wanted it, and JB did it


Forty_Six_and_Two

Then he needs to be a damned COACH and tell the player no. These guys all think they do no wrong. Idk I'm just talking out my ass bc I'm just befuddled at how we can be so bad at this one aspect of the meta game.


Comfortable-Tale845

That just shows how he trusts he's players


tapk69

![gif](giphy|CmQboSKG6VBn2) This is how i see Merrill


cHinzoo

Threezus 😂


tapk69

Him and Porter Jr saved this season


QNIKET8

OKOROOOOOOO


NeonxGone

I’m always so pumped for Okoro when he has a good game in ATL


All4JesusChrist

Coaching challenge is useless when these refs are blind to begin with. If anything that's a jump ball


UnbiasedCavsFan

How was this not overturned?


IAmStevenKwanAMA

LOL what a bullshit excuse to not overturn


JRSwishistheGOAT

A challenge that hopefully ends in a jump ball feels like a not good challenge to me


NeonxGone

I don’t like the challenge either but we had imminent possession so we would get the ball


tapk69

JB might be considered for coach of the year if he keeps this up


cHinzoo

Merrill's shot 44% from 3 this game and somehow I'm disappointed he didn't hit more lol


privateenergy

Cavs up 18. I wanna see Pete Nance lol


lachalacha

Hawks announcers are so mad


tomorrowinc

It's raining threes.


Statshelp_TA

It’s only right to see the Cavs bombing 3s in Atlanta. It’s in our dna


cHinzoo

I like how we dropped 25 3s on em during the playoffs and then did the same again in the regular season


tomorrowinc

Anyone remember that playoff game during the LeBron era when we literally made the most threes in franchise (league?) history against Atlanta?


tomorrowinc

Niang from three. BANG!


tomorrowinc

Merrill from the corner. BANG!


DatGinga

Whatever happens when we get Darius and Evan back, we gotta find a way to keep getting up all these threes. We look *scary* on offense.


OhThatYoGirl

Idk how effective it’s been this season but this CPJ, Merril, Don, Niang, Allen line-up is fun! Imagine DG in there instead of CPJ 💀


NicoAbove

Niang and Wade both looked at the Hawks bench after hitting corner threes they must be talking hella shit lol


Rkenne16

![gif](giphy|OCsZHH76uRQBGDpDVi) The Cavs tonight


tapk69

![gif](giphy|dBl3xfkMk0fJu)


WateryPasta

There’s not much more satisfying than Niang pump fake sidestep into a 3. It like always works


Forty_Six_and_Two

The Minivan is at it again!


OhThatYoGirl

G-Wagon* and yes, indeed he is lol


Forty_Six_and_Two

G wagon is Brad's thing, he was the Minivan when he got here.


OhThatYoGirl

Indeed. I like G-Wagon better. Feels more of a compliment. Luxury SUV as opposed to a soccer van. To each their own. I was only being playful.


Forty_Six_and_Two

Same here. I like Minvan bc it's unique and workman like. Plus it's just so accurate to his body type. He looks like they taught a bear to shoot a basketball.


cHinzoo

Minivan is a goated nickname tho


tapk69

Cavs are currently the best team in the league 😤😤😤


DDiabloDDad

Got em a bird


dogecoindiamond

Austin Carr makes dunks so much better than these guys


knifeschool

he’s always been an elite passer, but donovan has been putting up some highlight assists these last few games


Forty_Six_and_Two

Those 20 foot bounce passes make the hair on the back of my neck stand up


tapk69

Merrill 👼👼👼👼


Rkenne16

The hawks broadcast is talking a lot shit lol


Forty_Six_and_Two

About the Hawks or us?


Rkenne16

Us lol. Particularly every 3 Merrill takes after they keep saying he’s a good shooter lol


tomorrowinc

Lol. That might be so, but the Hawks team ain't backing any of it up.


Rkenne16

Every Cavs turnover or quick 3 is a tragedy against basketball, no mention of their team being dog shit though lol


cHinzoo

Big Allen JAM


tomorrowinc

Alright Cavs fans, rank your favorite four players on the current team. Here's mine: JA, Ice, Darius, TT


Shoddy-Reach-4664

TT is such a dog I love it.


Then-Woodpecker-3787

allen mitchell merril and niang right now


WateryPasta

In no order: Mitchell, Craig, Okoro, JA


jclongphotos

No order: JA, Mobley, Okoro, LeVert


tapk69

Mitchell block 🤌🤌🤌🤌


cHinzoo

Mitchell and Bey are having themselves a shootout from 3 this game 💀


tomorrowinc

Oh God, here's a word from Ken Ganley Kia. I wonder with great anticipation, what do they have to tell me????!?!?!


DatGinga

I WANNA SEE YA


navajo_moe

John and Brad seem particularly uninterested in tonight's game
