Live Thread: Cavs @ Bucks
2016-04-05
The Cleveland Cavaliers look to make it four wins in a row as they travel north to face the Bucks in Milwaukee.
The Cavaliers will be back at full strength, as Kyrie Irving is expected to play after sitting out Sunday’s game against the Hornets with a (mild, apparently) ankle sprain.
For the Bucks, the regular season can’t be over quickly enough. Their disappointing year — they sit at 32-45 overall — has continued into the spring and they enter this match-up with their Central Division foe losers of seven of their last 10 games.
The Cavs remain 3.5 games ahead of the Toronto Raptors for the top spot in the Eastern Conference playoff standings.
DONKEY FOULS OUT!!! WOLVES BY 3 WITH 2 FTs!!!
Go Wolves!
WIGGINS STONE COLD JUMPER!!!!
Boy, Wiggins took Livingston to the woodshed.
dumb foul by KAT… lead down to 1
AND Wiggins with the post up to go up by 4!!! KAT with some AWESOME defense on Curry!
WOW… Wiggins has a killer spin move to the basket…. and ridiculous hops.
OVERTIME!!! GO WOLVES!!!
WOW… Wiggins with the clutch bucket!!!!
Lauren with the makeup travel call on Donkey!!!
WOW….. our girl Lauren may have just given the game to GSW. Reversed a blocking call on Curry to a charge on KAT… it was definitely a block, but Curry receives the superstar call.
Unbelievable. Lauren Holtkamp calls curry for a block, correctly I might add, and the homers friggin overturned the foul call and called it a charge on review. That’s outrageous. Would have given towns a chance to tie the game with a minute to go. That’s borderline conspiracy.
I totally agree…. Curry was still moving well after KAT jumped.
Lebron is playing out of this freaking world. Take it in folks. Take it in. Been a pleasure watching him with you guys.
Looks like Delly and TT received some much-deserved rest.
Yes. They needed it. Especially Delly. His play has tailed off the last two months.
Super easy win. JR Smith rules the world.
Cavs running the “Jordan McRae plus 140 combined years” lineup right now.
Plumlee took a out five steps before that foul call.
Mo needs to get shipped to China.
His on-court decision making is that of a four year-old’s.
What a pick up in Frye. Griffin is amazing.
I love this team. It’s all between the ears for them. What a team though.
Better not see one more minute LBJ in this game, Lue!!!
I really like Jabari Parker. Hope he has a great career.
Me too… it was sad to see him and Rodney Hood not make a championship run at Duke. Coach K was grooming Parker to be a stretch 4.
Good to see the Bulls have given up this season. Can’t stand that franchise or its fan base,
LeBron so much better shooting on the left side. Part of it is that his elbow gets into. The right position and he’s not shooting across his face.
That central Cadillac commercial. With the girl Throwing the ball over over her shoulder might be the worst commercial ever in the history of TV.
The second worst is any Elk&Elk commercial with that attorney who has the terrible comb over.
That is one of the Elks. Total bummer to have that crew associated with Cleveland Sports.
Kyrie got bailed out there!
Monroe totally fouled Mozzy there.

Upset that I’m missing this game. Looks like a fun one to watch.
It looks like Kyrie is playing great and distributing the ball. I’m glad he learned from the Atlanta game.
(Kidding kidding)
Did anyone else think it was weird when Kyrie dropped that pass, everyone just stood around? No one went after it.
Bucks Over playing the perimeter. Layups should be coming.
Love some of the GIFS I’m seeing on twitter on JR..
RAPTORS NOT CONCEDING THE # 1 SEED—–PASTING THE HORNETS BY 18 —-K WALKER WITH ONLY 1 PT
Raps would have to win 6 in a row and Cavs would have to be 2-3.
JR must have read hat some of you were doubting his top 10 SG status. He’s better than Danny Green this year.
He’s playing his way into a big contract somewhere else. Lakers, maybe. Nice job.
I like Lue sticking with Mozgov… 2 blocks and +14 +/- in 12 minutes of play.
SINCE TY “TOOK BACK ” DEFENSIVE RESPOSIBILITIES —HAVE TO ADMIT THE DEFNENSE HAS IMPROVED / LOOKED BETTER ——-EVIL / COLS WHERE ARE YOU —- NO FAIR DRINKING BEERS WITHOUT INVITING US
Kyrie first half: 7pts, 5 as, 3-4 from the field. That’s the player I love. That’s my favorite player to watch right there.
Exactly. And only one dribble into nowhere which was a big improvement. More please.
x100
LBJ 4 FGAs, 5 assists… apparently wanted to teach young Kyrie a lesson in creating shots for teammates.
Kyrie 4 FGAs, 5 assists… more of this please!
NATE AGREED—-WHAT IS CAVS RECORD FOR “3”‘S IN ONE GAME—DOESN’T C.J MILES HAVE IT ?
11, I believe.
Just looked it up. Miles hit 10 threes for the record.
And I believe it was against Bucks..??
Anyone else see that? LeBron flashes in the high post and that’s a disaster for the defense. Been begging for this for quite a long time!

Channing just gave one of the worst interviews I’ve ever heard. Do the Cavs even bother with media training anymore?
Wow. This is beautiful
Big 3 with 9 out of 16 assists… NICE!!!
Sorry 9 out of 13 assists! Even NICER!!!
Apparently CLE locking down on the defensive end on a crappy offensive team… as it should be.
THE QUESTION REMAINS ( AND HOPEFULLY THE CAVS CAN ANSWER )—-CAN THEY SHOOT THE “3 ” IN A PRESSURE GAME / TIGHT SITUATION ——IF THEY CAN — LOOK OUT !!
Watching theCavs is fun tonight. For once they’re not frustrating the hell out of me
Come on Cavs. Let’s not blow a 20 point lead for a third straight game.
Wtf, Kevin?
Glad to see Lue play 10… as opposed to playing James 40+ minutes and 9 man rotations in less meaningful regular season games.
Wtf, Kyrie.
Who else thinks the Milwaukee color announcer is hilarious. It’s like he’s in constant amazement of the Cavs
Yea, I love listening to him
Cavs lulling a bit. A little worried about a third quarter malaise.
That never happens, Nate
And they respond to my comment with a run.
I think the 3rd quarter malaise is Lue’s unwillingness to use the bench more often as he should.
How’s it going gang?
Been a while since the Cavs have outclassed a team like this.
Kyrie made the easy play and rewarded with the assist. More easy passes please
Funny you say this, because it reminds me of the way Curry is judged by Kerr. Kerr believes Curry gets turnover happy when he tries to be flashy instead of making the simple play.
Just peeked at the box score. Glad to see KLOVE receiving the most amount of shots. Leb “beautiful mind” James making good on his word.
ANY MORE THA 3 DRIBBLES AND IT A ” JOURNEY TO THE UNKNOWN ‘ FOR SHUMP
IT WOULD GREAT TO SEE KEV PLAY WITH CONFIDENCE LIKE THIS ON A NIGHTLY BASIS —–BELIEVE IF HE CAN —THEN YES WE HAVE A LEGITIMATE CHANCE FOR A NBA CHAMPIONSHIP
What a catch.
Smokin hot quarter. Bucks are already making summer plans and Cavs are in “lock up the east” mode.
WOW LOVE!!
YES THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO / JUMP ON TEAMS EARLY AND HARD—-DON’T GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO ” SNIFF ” VICTORY !—GO CAVS ” PUT THE HAMMER DOWN !!
Delly should have passed that sooner
HEY IT IS GREAT TO BE BACK WITH ALL YOU GUYS ( BEEN A ROUGH 10 DAYS —-THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS / SUPPORT —-” ALL IN “—YOU GUYS ARE THE GREATEST ) —GLAD TO SEE EVIL BACK ALSO —LIKE THE CAVS– WE ( CTB ) ARE ROUNDING INTO PLAYOFF FORM —–HEALTHY AND READY TO PERFORM !!——-SIGN J.R. RIGHT NOW TO A GOOD CONTRACT / HE HAS EARNED IT THIS YEAR !!!
Welcome back Nomad !
Welcome back Nomad.
NOMAD!!! shout out to you brother!
Mosgov swiped that away
Cavs scintillating behind the arc! Hot galvanized pipe!
JR!!……………………………………….
I’m just grateful this game isn’t on NBA TV. I can’t be the only person who thinks NBATV drastically reduces the value of getting league pass
So your bemoaning the fact that the rest of us don’t have to pay?
Huh? No. I don’t have a tv subscription…so can’t watch NBA TV games. I pay a healthy fee to watch “all the games” and lose out on like ten of the ones not on national tv
Oh! Sorry.
Perhaps the mild ankle sprain was used to get Irving into a sedentary position, so he could watch Delly run the point and get 9 assists against Charlotte. It will be interesting to see if Ki has “learned” anyhing, or is allowed to “play his way through” more abysmal energy sucking dribbling and iso ball. We need the good shooting/distributing Irving, and not what he has given the team the last 8-10 games…….and even too many times since returning from injury. I hope James yells at him earlier than the 4th quarter, if we see “bad” Kyrie. What I would… Read more »
