Game Thread | Game #57 | Pistons @ Cavs | Feb. 8, 2023

Five threes, missing both superstar engines, playing a horrible team, up 26 and people are making serious arguments that Neto(great job tonight) should be taking all of LeVerts minutes, showing they have zero comprehension of what LeVerts function and role on the team is.

Pistons have scored 4 points so far this quarter lol

Jinxed it and now hey but a three.

I missed the beginning of the ball game so I was just shocked we have that low of a number. I've seen two teams full of D-League (Nets/Dubs) talent hit more then that in pass two weeks. This game reminds me of Late 90s ball. Go Cavs!!!

Damn Love was first off the bench to not even getting garbage time. Wow!

Looeeeeeez

Damn Love was first off the bench to not even getting garbage time. Wow!

But, but I’m assured by posters this is by agreement to protect his ego.

Damn Love was first off the bench to not even getting garbage time. Wow!

He’s up cheering at least. Hopefully just resting for a playoff push!

A WINE & GOLD WINNER

Did not see that fourth quarter coming, but it was fun!

 

[bleedwineandgold03]

Neto deserves minutes at least 5 to 8 minutes tbh the combo should be garland with Rubio and Mitchell with neto

 

[RubioFanLifer]

Another JYD chain for Nieto ?

A winning streak is nice. But it's hard to watch games vs dross like Pistons.

 

[foucault87]

wow. i know that its the Pistons, but that kind of win without our starting backcourt has to feel great. especially with the hot shooting from Cedi and Caris.

2nd time this season btw with that massive K Love game last time (around when he broke his thumb iirc)

 

[jjvors]

Cavs with a blowout victory of 28. Held them under 90, we scored 113 with our two best offensive players out.

Allen and Mobley agreed they'd both be aggressive tonight to make up for Mitchell and Garland.

Wow cedi and lever combined 8 for 29 Jesus lol

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

I'm going to give JBB some credit for putting in Neto and Rubio at the same time. At the time he did that, our offensive had been completely stagnant for a while. Even though it didn't help our shooting, the ball movement sped up and that's the point at which we began to reverse the slide.

 

[BiGZD]

I

He’s up cheering at least. Hopefully just resting for a playoff push!

If I them I rest till after the ASG then tell him he won't be playing b2b. With him and Rubio that should free up a ton minutes to the bench squad while keeping everyone fresh and happy.

 

[jjvors]

Individual stats:

Starters:
Okoro 7-4-5 with 2 blocks in 27 minutes
Allen 20-14-1 with a block in 30 minutes
Neto 14-0-8 with 4 steals in 36 minutes. Only 1 turnover!
LeVert 15-5-5 with 2 steals in 30 minutes. Shot crappy, but the assists and rebounds and steals kind of made up for it.
Mobley 19-8-3 in 32 minutes.

Solid games from everyone, dominant games from Mobley and Allen.

Bench:
Wade 10-9-0 with a block in 31 minutes. I didn't realize he had that many rebounds.
Rubio 8-2-4 with 2 steals in 16 minutes. Productive & efficient!
Osman 6-4-3 in 23 minutes Wasn't hitting from 3. But made an impact by pushing the ball.
Lopez 5-0-1 in 3 minutes. Kind of a point guard performance.
Stevens 9-2-0 in 12 minutes 4-4 FG 1-1 from 3. Super efficient.
