Live Thread: Cavs vs Bucks
2017-02-27
LeBron’s back from his bout with strep throat and will play tonight, according to Coach Lue. Â Kyle Korver, who appeared to injure his knee in the loss to the Bulls, is good to go as well. Â The Cavs will not have Deron Williams tonight. Â In fact, it’s not even been reported yet that they have signed him.
The Bucks, to their credit, have gone 4-2 since Jabari Parker was lost for the season with a torn ACL. Â They’re right on the cusp of the 8-seed, so expect them to thrash about to keep their playoff hopes alive for as long as they can
Weak skip passes are death against the bucks.
Cavs have only taken 17 shots so far… only 5 threes…
Kyrie’s midrange game is automatic this game.
Kyrie putting on some moves.
Latrell Sprewell is everywhere these days…
Is he sitting with Dan?
You’d think…
UNCLE DREW to beat the buzzer!
Kyrie “playground” Irving.
TWOZUS!
Are they only calling traveling on us & not Giannis? 7 TO’s so far. On pace for 30.
On pace for near 30 turnovers…
Ok now they are having some bad turnovers. Bad pass, and an obvious carry of all things.
I don’t understand why the second you go to the floor it’s a travel in college but you can roll around with the ball in the NBA.
Because they are ‘lenient’ about travels in the NBA….I don’t remember a guy ever getting called for a travel in the NBA while on the floor and moving his feet all over…
Because its the NBA? They also call travels in college far more frequently.
I think that applies to all kinds of travels. You can take three to four steps in the NBA but not in college. You can change picot feet for the most part in the NBA but not in college.
I think there is a rule to that effect. Unsure. Kind of like in college footy the have a specical rule for FGs due to the fact the holder is down (his knee is touching) & so the special rule for them so they can finish the play.
Kyrie with another terrible pull-up.
That’s some smothering Enchilada defense!
Layup line & TOs. Milwaukee ahead.
This lineup should be dynamite on offense and get destroyed on d…
Kyrie has taken LBJ’s mantle from last year of “most telegraphed drop pass in the lane”
11 down to 3.
Hahaha anyone else see the Cavs crew troll the oscars just now??
Yeah, was funny…

Careless TOs so far. 4-5 .
Three of those are excusable in my opinion since they occurred when guys were being aggressive inside. One offensive foul that would have led to a LBJ dunk and two that were iffy travels that would have led to layups.
Kyrie challenging the Ents inside.
Giannis just super traveled on that last pass…
Yeah.

The FOX Ohio camera is fine (if you can get it)
We got the walkin’ blues.
RJ with some niceD. If Shump finds his stroke again, we’ll have all cylinders firing.
Good backdown Ky….
Poor call there.
Bucks offense looks worse than I remember
Cavs D looks more aggressive than usual though…
Agree. Their interior d has looked pretty solid.
Of course as soon as I say that they give up an easy layup to Brogdon.
Only Beasley and Monroe have scored for Bucks… Only RJ and LBJ for Cavs… weird game…
Their d looks fantastic tonight, especially at the rim. They’re challenging every shot and it has definitely led to some bucks misses near the bucket. Also really surprised LBJ is playing tonight after/during strep throat. He is playing great, but he does look like he might be a bit winded.
Deron Williams officially signed with the Cavs!
9 for RJ. If he hadn’t traveled, he’d have 11. 20 pts for RJ tonight? I’d love to have another Cav hit that mark this year (James, Ky, Love, Korver, Fyre, TT, JR, McRae).
Sweet Kyrie to RJ for the slam!
THE ALL STAR BREAK DID R.J. WONDERS !!

RJ with a great first quarter attacking the rim.
I love active RJ…
It’s the James & RJ show.
76ers waive Bogut officially. I don’t know if they bought him out first.

Terry looks ancient.
And then. Makes. Me. Look. Foolish.
Wow Kyrie got owned
Alphabet owns a lot of people…
Cavs doing a good job defending at the rim…
Would have been a nice play if not for the RJ travel…
Looked like a good jump stop to me.
Less of a travel than any single Giannis possession.
Yeah, pretty much….less than what people get away with constantly…
Good ball movement early… RJ knocks down the three
Tony ain’t nobody’s brother.
I like this lineup vs. Milwaukee with RJ starting for Frye.

Found a ballstream feed…so I’m in business…
LBJ with the early throwdown!
It’s Players Only night, so naturally the camera angle is wonky and the scoreboard isn’t working…
Sweet! Good new with D-Will the2nd signing & Korver & the King OK to go.
Oh good… Tony Brothers…
Matt just shut Kyrie’s water off.
Weird super close camera so far…
McHale, Rip Hamilton and Greg Anthony doing the play-by-play…
I’m sorry. I’ve got the fox ohio feed.
Man, I I miss Delly

That’s good news….we’ll see what happens…

Maybe TNT will lift the blackout late in the 4th, like they did last time…
Another TNT blackout game for me…awesome…
Players Only MikeO… ;)
Sounds fair…
At least you won’t miss DWill2’s debut… that’ll be Wednesday…
Yeah, true…that will be interesting. I imagine it’ll take a few games for him to look comfortable, though.

CWebb, Isaiah Thomas (the original), Baron Davis and Chris Bosh… interesting…

I don’t understand this “Players Only” business…
https://twitter.com/NBAonTNT/status/836364567492112384
So probably not Cavs…
