Game 14: Cavs @ 76ers 11/21/2023

Lol Tristan making JB take a timeout right there, good job TT doing JBs job for him.

Like I said a a gutsy win like this can really propel the team forward this year

[JujitsuFlip]

Damn that victory was a lot harder than it had to be.

Surprised the refs let Embiid foul out lol

Glad i got to watch that one, it was entertaining. I wish Mitchell could find his way into the team concept; the offense looked clunky in the 1st and sloppy in the 4th but there were periods it was absolutely fluid.

[ijspeelman]

That is an insanely great win. No Mitchell, no LeVert, no Okoro, no Jerome.

6ers slowly dwindle down the Cavs lead in the 4th until they take the lead. We've seen this one before, but the Cavs stick in it with clutch play by every Cav.

Huge, huge, huge shoutout to Craig Porter

God I hate to live in the past but this team with Lauri instead of Mitchell would be something to watch.........


Anyways why is rubio still on the roster.....is he really hiding behind "mental health" because his knee is shot and doesn't want to be retired or what?

Jerome you can take your time. Porter is a freaking steal...finally we get a steal

I'm with you! I wish Wade was a little taller because you saw flashes tonight when he, Niang, and even TTop down the stretch were playing that 3rd big man role. I also love Strus at SG, he plays so well within the offense.

Rubio may come back this season, who knows. I assume the Cavs are just holding onto his $6 million to include in a trade later in the year.

CPJ was fantastic tonight. I've only watched 2 games this season and both games he's absolutely shown out. I liked the TJ pick-up but I'm all for CPJ being the back-up PG going forward. Even though I'm well aware once all 4 guys who were out come back he'll be with the Charge or glued to the bench, unfortunately.

4 game winning streak, wins over the reigning champions and Philly in their home turf. Cavaliers have really found something here, and they’re using it to win games.

Despite all the injuries the Cavs now have the same record after 14 games as they did last year.

[JujitsuFlip]

Oof, didn't realize that was the first game of a back to back.

Maybe they can fly home and sleep in their own beds tonight.

Ice baths all around for the 7 dudes that put in heavy minutes tonight, maybe TT too since he had to bang with a 300 pounder.

Also, lemme give my flowers to a well-coached game by JB and Evan Mobley for hitting both of his clutch FTs

I about puked waiting to see if he made both lol

Tinkered with the defense in interesting ways that also worked (fronting Embiid and having a guy sink in to the paint so there couldn't be an entry pass, putting out a zone when Maxey was off the floor (occasionally), putting Wade/Strus out on Maxey (which I think actually slowed him down), not letting Garland/Porter get on Maxey in his defensive scheme and it working every time, putting Tristan on Embiid on last second plays and allowing both Allen and Mobley to roam (actually a terrifying defense, but obviously wouldn't work on offense).

I'd like to give him props for offense as well, but have less specifics because I remember less changes. Riding the hot hand in Porter throughout the game (specifically the 4th until he thought he needed more spacing/defense in Wade and then bringing him back in OT when playmaking was more needed when Beverly was fronting Garland), I thought the sets looked really good throughout the game (ball movement, off-ball screening, etc) specifically the first half where they kept targeting Embiid and made him make a decision to guard the lob or Garland's floater, and I like that all three of our big men who played, Allen, Mobley, and Tristan, had play calls for them to be the playmaker in the high/mid post or short roll.

The Cavs one is the best because it doesn't assault your eyes

From the behind the basket camera angle that TNT Overtime provides, it wasn't as bad. It did have some blue spots in the red from the lights but all in all not horrible.

I actually like the Raptors one, i was watching one of their tournament games and i was like it's kinda dull but it was a cool change up.
