Live Thread: Cavs @ Bucks
2021-12-18Tonight, the Cavs travel to the shores of Lake Michigan to take on Central Division rival and reigning champion Milwaukee Bucks. Obviously all the talk is about COVID running rampant in the NBA and relatedly, the Cavs and Bucks will both be without major pieces to their respective teams. For the Bucks, they’re basically missing their entire starting lineup (and then some more). Luckily for the Cavs, they’ll only be missing Isaac Okoro and Evan Mobley. Fair or not, the Cavs should be looking to dominate and dispatch the Bucks with ease.
As it has been lately, the struggle for the Cavs will be internal. Can they stay hungry and ruthless for 48 minutes? If they do, then Cavs’ fans are going to enjoy the show. Do they come out as though they’re entitled to a win? If they do that instead, then it might lead to an embarrassing and consequential (from an Eastern Conference playoff seeding perspective) loss. Luckily for Cavs’ fans, this year’s squad has risen to every challenge so far.
Tip off is scheduled for 9:00PM ET and will be broadcasted on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes. GO CAVS!
WOW WIndler went down hard
Ouch
Bucks killing us on the offensive boards.
This is gonna be a game.
LMFAOOO THERE YOU GO!!! JA HUSTLE!
Windler getting a second chance, good job JB
Allen tries a Duncan borad j. Not sure he meant to.
Whatever work cedi did on the jumper is working.
yikes JA, LMFAOOOO
DMC with some boost.
Cedi is unconscious.
GREAT PASS STEVENS!!! CEDI FOR THREE!
Seems like Cousins has been out there every minute this half…
Damn Nwora looking like kk on that catch and shoot.
WHAT A PASS DG!!!
CEDI GREAT CUT!
GREAT DRIVE AND DISH WADE!
Bucks zone. Ineffective without their big starters. If cavs hit open treys this will be a blowout quick.
RUBIO !!!! FOR THREE !!! BIG SHOT!
holy shit Cavs missing WIDE OPEN shots LMFAOOO
If Cavs could shoot right now they’d be up 40
Dg floater. Another shot he’ll need to be a killer with in the poayoffs.
DG straight down the lane!
Cousins could actually end up a liability for the Bucks in the playoffs if they are really committed to playing him
He was good. Not great, but he is a shell now. Unfortunate.
Only playing/signed because Lopez & Portis are out.
Windler unwilling to shoot, shoot the ball man
got immediately benched LMFAOOOO
Sloppiness could allow the shell of the bucks to make a run at some point.
Cavs just rusty a bit because of all the new parts
great defense Windler!
great defense, sloppy pass
Just need Wade and Stevens to settle down and lock down on defense should be able to maintain and grow the lead.
So close on that last possession. Still cavs taking care of business.
Smart passes,unselfish.working pretty well.
Would have been sweet if Love had canned that 3, but good quarter after an ugly start…
WOW CAVS HUSTLE great looks just missed, love the process though playing the right way!
Cedi using all that rim on that one
Cedi with the ultimate shooters bounce lol
Cedi with the floater from 3 lol
LOVE BEASTING!!!! CEDI WITH A PINBALL THREE!!!!
LMFAOOOO Lauri getting goofy with it LMFAOOOOO
LOVE CEDI GIVE AND GO!
Block by rubio. Good position by Lauri
wow they’re just calling garbage wtf
Osman so consistent from trey this year. Crazy.
LAURI GREAT PLAY GREAT PASS LOVE!
CEDI TOO EASY
Btw this is a game that if the cavs give effort they should win. Don’t care bout the name on the jersey. All that matters is who you’re actually playing against. With who they have out, they should win if we give effort.
Early Windler.
also Lauri Love bigs
Nice run by the bench. Hope that 3 stands.
RUBIO TO CEDI! RAGE TIMEOUT!
GREAT PASS RUBIO! JA EASY MONEy
Those 15 footers are probably going to be the shots dg needs to kill teams with against playoff d.
yup, he’s figured out how to trust it in the regular season, it’s gotta carry over.
RUBIO STEAL DG FINISH!!!!
On holidays and nowhere near a screen – keep the CtB commentary going for me!! And Go Cavs!
hey Simmo enjoy the holidays!!! it’s a good one so far!
Expect that trey by love might be discounted. Buzzer sounded before shot.
great defense Love
DG SWEET J!!!
LOVE IS IN THE AIR!
Maybe going to need cedi shooting sooner rather than later.
silly pass DG, then GREAT DRIVE DG!!!
That was a very bad, brutal tov by dg.
TO issues. Jumper happy.
If the bucks win this, credit to Bud.
GREAT PASS JA STEVENS ON FIRE!!!
Damn that last trey by Nwora was impressive.
he’s an unconscious shooter LMFAOOO
uhhhh….foul on Wade….right…
Wade getting refballed for great defense, WTF trash ass refs
Cavs are missing WIDE OPEN looks.
DG HUGE THREE!!! Stevens hustle!!!

Per Cavs pregame broadcast, Jrue will be dressed, may not play (not covid). If that happens, hard to see the Bucks winning.
Bucks OUT: Giannis, Middleton, DiVicenzo, Looez, Portis, Matthews. Hood is iffy.
Us: OUT: Sexton, Okoro, Mobley.
I think no Giannis nor Middleton for the Bucks, and some others.
