2024-25 Regular Season

[ijspeelman]

I thought so too but they may lay an egg somewhere along the way, maybe that Bulls cup game. Being undefeated is a lot of pressure lol

Yeah, teams just lose sometimes even against mediocre opponents so I won't fault them for dropping wins here soon, but it would be really cool to keep the streak alive into that game

I agree! Did you snag some pretty good seats? My friend lives in New Hampshire and showed me that not even floor seats for a game in February in the TD Garden were like $1,900+ or something crazy.

I balled out for my first game, but spent nowhere near that much. I'm like nine rows behind the basket on the Celtics side. I got a decent deal honestly, but still expensive lol

Is Ty Jerome the love child of Ricky Rubio and Dellavedova?

I think it's totally possible that the Cavs are 15-0 going into Boston looking for the record.

That would be absolutely wild

He has been driving and shooting way better than either of them ever did.

I've got both Rubio and Delly as better positional defenders/screen navigators although Ty is a better pickpocket. I've got him as more of a cross between TJ McConnell and Seth Curry, with more height but not length.

I think it's totally possible that the Cavs are 15-0 going into Boston looking for the record.

That would be absolutely wild

We're coming off our high a little bit with the close games against Milwaukee and Brooklyn.

The Bulls won't be afraid of us after they beat us twice in the preseason.

I'm going to enjoy one game at a time and be excited for that Boston game regardless of whether we're undefeated or not. Right now there's no reason to consider anyone else as competition in the standings in the conference.

Yea we're winning the conference easily. Nobody else even close. I think the East (regular season) is even in play. Boston is kind of just cruising now.

The only problem with starting so hot is that now you get everyone's best game. Every team is going to play the Cavs as hard as possible until they lose

Congrats to Darius, well deserved. Looks like the league is paying attention with this great start. Its good to see Darius moving forward and not let last season's troubles affect the start of this season. He looks a little bigger/stronger this year and his poa defense has been a bit better because of that imo. Obviously his confidence looks much better as well.

Yeah its honestly lame af and made me lose some respect for them.

However, I was dumb and may or may not have bought a membership (and immediately cancelled).

He mainly just talks about how Garland looks better than his all-star season and is currently playing at an all-NBA pace. Notes that he looks much stronger and is taking contact well to stay steady going to the rim. Calls him potentially the best live dribble passer in the world.

He talks about how the Cavs are using guard-guard screens with Garland to force switches on worse defenders or to set up the other guard for a three. However, says the offense isn't majorly changed besides what he mentions in the original video (which I'd agree with). Credits a lot of the success to Mobley and Garland stepping up a level. Thinks the offense is real.

Def not worth the membership (still feel stupid for shelling out the money) and not as much nitty gritty analysis as I'd typically like from his videos (would have preferred some side-by-side comparisons of how the offense hasn't changed). The Garland portion felt like a re-hash of his Garland video back from 2021-22 set to current footage and that was the extra content behind the paywall.

Apparently Strus help implement the zone defense.

#Cavs list Dean Wade (left ankle) as OUT tomorrow in Boston.

Isaac Okoro (left ankle) is listed as questionable.

Sam Merrill (left ankle) is questionable.

Caris LeVert (left knee) is questionable.

Not having all those wings is not going to be good against the Celts. I hope the three questionable can play if they can.

No Dean Wade will already be bad haha.

[KazuoOda]

Def need Levert and Okoro at least tomorrow

[Eightnineborn]

Def need Levert and Okoro at least tomorrow

If you had to pick one who would it be? Id go with Okoro.

Without Wade, We need Okoro's defense to deal with their wings, both have been knocking down shots as of late however. Levert has been a spark for us, hitting big shots and playing the passing lanes getting big steals.
