Game Thread | Game #54 | Grizzlies @ Cavs | Feb. 2, 2023

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Dildo Brooks did the Cavs a favor; while watching the game I was thinking Donovan Mitchell needed to sit because it looked like he was still affected by the injury. Cavs responded accordingly, and it was great to see it.

Darius Garland master class. 32pts/11ast.
Okoro lowkey master class.
Evan and Jarrett with a double double each.
Rubio back into MSG form and helped Cedi along.
As seen elsewhere: "No Love, No LeVert, no coincidence."
Dean Wade isn't killing the Cavs on defense.
Rubio when he gets to cook, cuts down on the unnecessary dribbling. Okoro does too, even though he is not typically a ball handler.

Hope JB takes notice
I wouldn’t proclaim Rubio all the way back just yet but his 4th quarter play was encouraging.

I’m convinced that part of the reason Mitchell reacted the way he did was his own frustration about how crappy he was playing. DM is a seasoned pro, and acknowledging how pissed you get at cheap shot, if he was in the middle of a 30 point performance he likely keeps his cool. But this was an old nemesis on a bad night and he said “let’s go”. It was without a doubt a huge favor for the Cavs.
 
I LOVE that they gave the chain to Mitchell. That's PERFECT!

Honestly, I would probably take a punch in the nets to get a picture with me wearing the chain with the team around me. :chuckle:
 
He had the opportunity to deck him right in the face but passed on it. I'm glad he did. Brooks aint worth the suspension. The message was sent and that's all i care about.
Plus Spida had a savage post game interview.

Brooks is huge for his height and Mitchell took him down to the ground like it was nothing, I think we under estimate Spida's strength.
 
This is the funniest outcome of the Mitchell-Brooks imbroglio:

Brooks is 6 6 and 225. A little heavier than JR Smith

Spider is 6 1 215. About the same size as Jrue Holiday.

I'll bet on Spida all day.

Honestly we dont talk about how strong Spida is. It for sure helps on his drives and helps him on defense, how he has been a slightly better than average defender disptie being about 6'2.
 
Fantastic game by Garland. When he plays like this, we are a very hard team to beat. This game reminded me of a lot of the ones he’d turn in regularly last year.

Cedi stepped up big off the bench, and Rubio showed flashes of his old self in the 4th quarter.

This game really made it clear we don’t need LeVert on this team at all, and I’m not knocking him as a player. Koby needs to do what he has to and trade him.
Levert + love = anything please
 
Ended up working thru the game and just catching up on highlights. Really happy how this turned out especially given the doom and gloom of the last week or so. This is the Cavs team I love and DM was still working off thr rust, not to mention rubio
