Game Thread | 2021-2022 Season | Game #10 | Cavs @ Raptors | Nov. 5, 2021

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Make no mistake - Raptors are a damn good team and we were overmatched on paper. Our boys just fought for 48 minutes and wore them down. Tremendous team D, and scoring 102 against their first class defense is a hell of an achievement.

So proud of our young team. Heart and balls of lions. Garland bailed us out and FINALLY showed the aggressiveness he needs to be the breakout player so many predicted. Cedi balling out too.

Also - I give Dean Wade’s freshman coach a lot of shit but his boy gave a solid effort tonight. Bravo.


Can't wait to have Lauri back though. The guy is missed.

Kinda dig him.

Yea I think the Raps are a good team.

I WANT to believe the Cavs can get the 8th spot but my god this is actually the best the East has been in a long time.

Pretty sure the 8th seed will have a winning record.
 
Great win. Go Cavs!
 
Barnes is a nice all around player, but he is pretty slow with the ball in the half court. He plays more like a big than a wing right now.

I say the matchup was a tie. Mobley had a nice come back there, luckily.

It took maturity to not settle for a contested hero three with such a short clock. He went to the basket.
 
Shout out to Dean Wade tonight too.
Playing the Lauri big SF role and was not dominated as a defender.

On offense he missed the open 3P shots he's supposed to make but went 4-5 on 2P shots including a few dribble drive and finishes.
Not saying he was great or anything, as obviously making one or two of his 3P attempts would have been nice, but he was not one dimensional or useless either.

Another +9 for Stevens in 9 minutes. Can't shoot worth anything, but he does the little things well
 
That was crazy. Watched most of the end. Our rebounding was terrible on the defensive end, and Mobley gave them a bucket (at least he dunked it) even though I'm certain he was pushed. The game ended with Stevens and Wade on the floor. I've been hating on them, but boy was it epic to see how happy Stevens was on the floor with that win. Whether or not he's in the lineup, I'm happy we have guys who love the sport and being competitive.
 
BTW somehow Gary Trent lost two jump balls to Garland and Sexton and the last one was fucking massive to lose.

Is he a rather poor athlete and I didn't know?
Jump balls are really inconsistent by refs, but it was really good to see DG/Collin reacting and getting to that ball first, dunno about Trent
