Live Thread: Cavs @ Bucks
2019-12-14Giannis Antetokounmpo is shooting 46% from three over the last five games, at 5.6 attempts per while posting 32/12/3 YIKES. Is his one weakness now becoming a strength? It’s going to be a tall order to beat the Bucks who have won 17 straight. They post the third highest scoring bench in the league and are first in offense, and 12th in defense.
The Bucks will be without Eric Bledsoe and Dragan Bender, while Dylan Windler’s stress fracture will be re-evaluated in two weeks. For Cleveland, keeping Kevin Love going and keeping Garland and Sexton from sharing floor together will be key. Also key will be second half energy as the Bucks played last night.
Go Cavs.
BYE / BYE FREDDIE —‘ TOO HOT GET OUT OF THE KITCHENS “—-HE HAS GOT TO GO !!!!
Wow, slept through this one…
Why is Giannis still playing?
Giannis gets away with so many travels. He’s great but if he got called for all his travels he’d have at least two more tos a game.
That Knight three never looked like missing
Gotta go Simmo, watching the President’s Cup now, and it’s getting really good!
Laters
Big ragu dunks all over the Cavs 2018 Cavs draft decision.
res ipsa loquitur
Henson for 3!
Porter, Nance, Thompson
I’ve missed half the plays in this game thanks to my kids’ tantrums – CLF what if any positive signs from Cavs?
Garland has looked more comfortable out there I think.
Yup… definitely flashed tonight.
Porter. Nance. Thompson
Great 2nd quarter from Garland and the backups! and they’re probably playing better than the starters in the 2nd half too.
Bloomberg for 0res, Dylan selling out for rocket mortgage. Man. Eff these commercials.
right idea Garland to LNJ, bad execution… bad turnover Clarkson.
WOW ridiculous move Giannis!
Nice steal and finish LNJ!
KPJ just got destroyed by lopez in the paint and no whistle
CLARKSON TO KPJ!!!! WHAT A PASS AND FINISH!!!
nice floater Garland… nice pass KPJ! Clarkson 3!
what are you doing Cedi
Ok Time for a 23 point run
Love another passing turnover.
Nice defense TT! Nice pass Garland and TT, Sexton gotta make that.
CEDI TO LOVE 3!
CEDI 3!!! Crazy pass Sexton to TT too.
Nice ball movement, TT finish…. and tough floater Sexton.
Well, a decent 1.5 quarters. But the Bucks are light years ahead of us.
LOVE 3!!!
Doncic with ankle strain, sucky news
Saw the replay. Looked pretty bad. Hope he is not out too long. Stepped on someone’s foot.
Giannis and Middleton getting whatever they want. Love and TT tied for a team low -26 plus/minus. At least the Cavs are maintaining their passing from last game.
Somebody gotta rebound that ball…. that’s awful.
GARLAND TO CEDI FOR THREE!
WHAT A PASS LOVE TO CEDI!
Cedi!
Garland so bad at pick and pop
WOW 23 fast break points for the Bucks in the 1st half.
Gotta stop giving them so many fast break give mes!
two live ball turnovers will bite you.
Cedi’s drives seem problematic tonight. Good pressure by Bucks.
Dumb pass Love… what are you doing?
Cedi come on
Two ugly shots back to back from TT and Love.
TT floater!
Bad floor balance after Cedi’s missed shot. Also, looks like Clarkson got a little more run than usual perhaps to send a message to Sexton.
CLARKSON 3!!!
Horrible pass Delly, he knows better than that.
Better!
Argh Delly
That’s why Cedi doesn’t play point, handles not good enough. Same thing happened to him in summer league two years ago.
Cavs playing inspired ball.
CLARKSON FLOATER!
GARLAND FLOATER!!! IN THE ZONE!
GARLAND TO LNJ FOR THREE!!!
Garland wheeling
Fantastic dish to kpj
KPJ challenges giannis. Stuffed but i like the agression to go into contact.
GARLAND TO KPJ!!!!!!!! WHAT A PLAY!
GARLAND FROM WAAAY DOWNTOWN!
Wow. What a dunk.
He can get up.
strong take KPJ, gets the foul
Garland 3! Somehow the Cavs still in it… Clarkson way too aggressive on that defense there on Giannis.
Kyle
Garland trey. Hanging in, for now.
JC goes too early and bucks tie his shot.
Garland trying to find KPJ for 3s… I like it. Nice help defense too from Henson.
Garland tries to pass sometimes. Just a raw raw raw raw raw rookie pg though. That isn’t changing anytime soon. Had some great dimes vs SA and predictably more than a few awful tovs.
Shoot your shot, kpj
Sexton waving off love. Mr Alpha. 50% TS. Gotta get his Jack’s up. Clarkson version 0.5.
Lopez is huge
Dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble turnover
Delly trey!
Gotta cut out the outlets over three guys.
That was a good pass. TT just dropped it.
it was not a good pass, nor a good decision.
Disagree. You gotta take chances against this bucks team. It was as good as a shot.
Love just ran a p and r as the ball handler because he knows he isn’t getting the ball back.
TT hook. Nice
Cedi suuuucks so far.
He does?
yeah, toasted by Middleton multiple times and can’t make a shot, but you were too concerned about calling out Garland.
Middleton making tough shots. Whatcha gonna do?
They weren’t tough shots LOL… all in rhythm with no contest.
Step back midrange? Have to agree to disagree
Garland suuucks so. Far
Yes he has. Sexton had a bad tov. How many floaters/push shots have we seen? 6?
Will be ugly.
