Live Thread: Bucks @ Cavs
2022-12-21Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome the Milwaukee Bucks to the shores of Lake Erie for a massive Eastern Conference clash between two of the elite teams so far in the NBA season. The Cavs will have a chance to avenge two of their more brutal losses of the season against the Bucks, while the Bucks seek to maintain the psychological advantage they have over the Cavs.
It looks as the though Khris Middleton, Dean Wade, and Lamar Stevens will be the mainstays who are out for the game besides the usual suspects. This game will feature the two best defenses in the NBA, let’s see who can impose their will against the other.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio, Go Cavs!
Yeesh, back to back banked threes to end the quarter…
I guess that is fair.
Still, up 16. Bucks scoring a lot easier. 35 that quarter.
Wow.
Trading 40 footers.
4 on Giannis.
Pacers up on Celtic 28 at half, Nets up on Dubs 91(!)-51 at half…
Crazy year. Long season.
Cedi!!!!!!
Mandatory to?
omg ja!!
Cue the 2001 space odyssey cuts while we wait.
I’m afraid I can’t do that, Dave.
Clearly correct result…
Loooooooooong review…
Fun challenge.
Jfc. Abolish reviews.
I like Giannis, but that play and foul is just bullshit…
Yep
Superstar call. We need to adjust. Stop giving him and-1s.
This crew is giving him everything.
JB challenge!
Mobes & DG out with 3 fouls. Let’s hold the fort until the end of quarter.
Holllddddd. Hooollldddd
Six minutes in, +1 in the 3rd. I will take that!
Cavs getting exactly what they need from Ice…needs to do this every night…
I think he has an easier time as a starter.
Agreed.
Giannis near the rim is cheating…
Does Giannis get the rebound every time he misses? That’s at least 3.
Great to see DG back to his normal self.
DG real tough tonight…think he wants this one…
And that’s how you start a new half!
Spida take over!
Pacers up 57-30 now.
59-30.
Fear NO 🦌!
Pacers up 18 on Boston in the 2nd quarter. 48-30.
Ich bin ein Pacer fan…
That was. Some ball.
Best overall half Cavs have played in a while…let’s see if they can weather the storm in the 3rd, which is when the Bucks have layed it on them the two previous games…
Only 4 TOs for us. 14 for Milwaukee. 13 dimes for us, 5 for them.
Not scorching shooting. Taking care of the ball. Good D and forcing TOs got us this lead.
We’vehad good halves vs Milwaukee before. Let’s take this one home.
Hell ya!
What a half!!! Go Cavs!
Hell of a close.
Cavs right the ship and lead by 18 at half…
Now that’s how you finish a half!
HUGE three for Spida!!
Attaway Ice.
2nd three for ICE!
Plenty of room on Okoro Island if anyone wants to come over!
Spida with a nice triple to end it. Up 18 from a low of 9. Won the 2nd quarter.
Spida struggling, but Jrue can have that effect.
Love DG’s effort…playing hard…
Okoro having a presence tonight…
Tough putback by JA!
22 down to 11.
This last bit w/out Giannis.
I’d feel much better up double digits at half.
Mobley doesn’t get his pocket picked nearly so much as he used to.
Turnover bug hitting the Cavs last couple of minutes…
Another cheapo on Mobley…his third…just had the ball taken from him down low by Lopez…
Bad thing about the Bucks is the Cavs just have no one to really defend Gianniss…
Mobley.
Or Allen.
Home run Kev!
Sorry. Touchdown.
No more triples for 2 possessions, please.
Yeah, getting a little lazy…
Getting a little 3 happy here.
Man, Bucks turning it over right and left…
12 TO after that one…
Kev droppin dimes.
Droppin’ dimes. Droppin’ dimes.
Wow, Love catches Bucks napping — home run pass to Cedi!
Only one Cavs TO so fat…knock on wood…
Up 20. Cavalanche.
I think Fratello just recently learned what point differential means. He’s talked about it a couple time this week as if it something people can’t get their heads around.
Well, sucks to give up that last Giannis bucket, but up 15 with a 21-6 to close to the quarter was great.
We looked great for the first half in Milwaukee last time and got crushed.
But up 15 with DM with 1 FG and Mobley with 2 quick fouls is really good.
Ok just do that 3 more times. Im nervous
Cavs just flat outplaying them so far…hope they can keep it up…
Damn. I’ve been putz’ing about and apparently missed the Cavalanche.
Only negative about this quarter is the two fouls on Mobes…they were cheapies, but he can’t get his second like that…
Bout to get on a plane but BRING ON THE CAVALANCHE!
Just saw the score as I prepared for the storm of the century! Looking good Sofar!
Liking the Cavs effort so far…
Love in the air!!
Hell of a pass and Ice finish!
Feels like a shaq game. He just gonna shoot 30 free throws?
Okoro playing damn well lately…
Yes! Hands much more active on D—seems to be getting steals, blocks, deflections, loose balls
I have no idea how Grayson Allen is starting on a good team…
Inauspicious start.
SPENT THE ENTIRE DAY GETTING PREPPED FOR ” OL MAN WINTER ” STORMING IN THIS WEEKEND ——-I FRIGGIN HATE WINTER !!!!!…………..GO CAVS !!!!!
Would love to see Okoro rise to the occasion. Hoping Brook Lopez doesn’t hit all his shots this time.
GO CAVS!!!
Go Cavs!
