Live Thread: Cavs @ Bucks
2022-11-16Cavs take on the Bucks tonight, and will be missing Jarrett Allen. Lamar Stevens will start for him. Donovan Mitchell is going to play it seems, but despite Dean Wade being out, the Cavs a shot. I, personally, would’ve started Robin Lopez, if just to see two Lopezes battling when Rolo takes on his brother Brolo (should that be Broolo?). Speaking of brothers, Isaiah Mobley (along with Miamade Diakite) are also available tonight. The Cavs really need a win after four straight losses (all of which were close) but the league best Bucks don’t seem inclined to give them one.
At 10-3 the Bucks have found something in Javon Carter, who’s averaging 23/3/8 over the last three games. Meanwhile the Cavs have to deal with five other guys who average double digits and probable MVP Giannis. Somehow I think this comes to the wire again. I’m gonna pick the Cavs by four because nothing would be weirder than winning this one.
Bucks are so damn big
Cavs used to be.
No JA and no Wade hurts
Lamar 3.
The pride of Penn State
Yowza
Ball don’t lie.
Lama3
Abysmal calll
Ugh obscene blocking foul.
JB sucks so bad at play design. Also that was def a charge
Ball don’t lie
Challenge that
11-2 run by Bucks.. sigh..
Levert doesn’t look like he wants to be out there
Cavs have to lead the league in turnovers after a timeout
Play Neto over LeVert
Over okoro
Even more than LeBron, Giannis is the most physically dominant player since Shaq.
That is true. But I think he gets away with more than either. At least shaq was moving people out of the way in the post where the rules allow that to an extent.
Garland got hammered
Yep. And Giannis typically travels or charges nearly every drive. I don’t find his game aesthetically appealing.
Great cut and pass by okoro and love
Okorostill wont shoot but has cutting game is markedly improved and making a difference
Run a play
Lol. Kev schooling the JV kid in the high post.
DG looking to break this personal scoring record
You reach, I teach!
Not thrilled seeing Okoro and STEVENS on the floor together
D looks good tho honestly
This aged poorly
DG 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love watching Giannis miss FTs
He is. Very mundane observation.
^THIS WAS A HORRID JOKE ^
Ball don’t lie.
Sort of hate the lower the shoulder charge thru defender offensive foul that Giannis gets away with nearly every drive. Be one thing if it was back to the basket but it’s on drives 90% of the time.
Not getting many charge calls against him in Milwaukee
Or anywhere….
Hill defending DG pretty well, but DG is too good…
DG cooking.
Rebounding continues to be really bad
Honestly impressive first. This is a tall task. We gave up lead with giannis sitting tho. Dont love that
They should play Neto for a stretch of minutes tonight.
Esp. Against green.
Nice take Garland.
Yuck Robin
Just world class outlet passing by our grandfather
Still gave up 34 in the Q not great from a D perspective
The Cedi- Love fast break is lightening
Holy shit what a pass by love.
Good call. Kevin wasn’t set before the gather.
It was the right call, as you say. So annoying to listen to announcers and most fans complain about those calls when they don’t understand the rule.
6-9 from Bucks from 3..
Such a good start scoring but our defense of the 3 point line.
Touchdown!
Lol Okoro in the weak corner.
Sigh…hope freaking Ibaka isn’t going to go en fuego from three…
Cavs lack of non-primary action is annoying. Three other guys don’t move on an empty corner wing p/r
Really impressed with Mobley’s physicality.
Going from shot challenge to rebound is a skill Mobley needs to hone. It’s possibly his biggest improvement area as a defender.
Fundamentals dont seem to matter until all of a sudden they do. Difference between Good and Great
Mobley great D on Giannis. Unlucky not to get the stop
I think Cedi and Love will for sure be open. Hope theyre ready
Nice D by Mobes on that Giannis drive, but Giannis too tough…gets the easy put back…
Put Rolo into to give a hard foul on BRolo.
Lamar Bailout!
This unit is locked in.
Ridiculous finish Spida.
Nasty air ball by Giannis
They needed that extra day kdd
Cavs look solid both ends. LETS GO!
DG looking smoooooooth
Heck of a run out by Levert…great pass DG…
Nice start!
First team we have faced with more injuries than us since the bug hit
C’mon Garland…dont waste a possession like that
So far they are running sets and not iso. Good discipline. Hope it lasts
Holy Mobley.
Mobley playing strong.
Superrrrrrb dime by Mitchell
Great hands, Mobes…
Go Cavs. Be good to steal this one!
Move your feet on defense tonight Cavs!
I agree, Go Cavs!
still under the weather, maybe in and out the LT
Tough task with Wade and JA out. Maybe Mitchell and DG will go en fuego…
Gonna take a herculean effort just to keep this one close. Hope we can squeak out a thriller with some hot shooting and tough RoLo mins vs BroLo
