Live Thread: Cavs @ Bucks Redux
2024-01-26Cavs got an extended stay on the shores of Lake Michigan, and will play their second straight game against the Bucks. Let’s hope that Donovan Mitchell took today’s All-Star starters snub personally, as Damian Lillard and Tyrese Haliburton were named over him for the East, today. Personally, I hope none of the Cavs make the All-Star game until they start beating good teams on a regular basis. Also, **** the All-Star game. I hope they carry a chip on their shoulder the size of a cinder block, and take it out on every team they play.
Last game the Cavs tried too hard to get Jarrett Allen started in the first quarter instead of attacking Damian Lillard, which should be the plan from the jump against the Bucks. The lights were too bright for JA, who didn’t get out of his own head till the third quarter. The Cavs need to play mean and aggressive tonight, JB needs to get a tech on the very first Damian Lillard bullshit call, and the Cavs HAVE to play with pace and trust their teammates instead of ball hogging. Know the ball will come back to you, Mitch.
For Milwaukee, they’ve hired Dave Joerger away from his consulting position with the Cavs as of today, and Giannis is probable for tonight. For Cleveland, Ty Jerome got ankle surgery and is out indefinitely. Garland and Mobley are still out, but will hopefully be back soon.
I hope the Cavs play with fire and tenacity and lay some lumber on the Bucks and the scoreboard. Taking the Cavs in this one. Beat em up, wine and gold.
Let’s hope the refs don’t help out the Bucks in the 4th.
Giannis helping us.
They gotta stop overhelping from the weak corner.
Ball don’t lie.
Cover. The. Corner.
This defense is garbage and where’s cpj and sam??????????
Bah. Niang giveth. Niang taketh
Nice shots Niang.
Jones has some things to learn about setting picks….
Damian Jones gave em great minutes in the first half and it’s continuing.
Love this run but how in God’s name do you sub out Dean Wade RN?
Lmfaoooo
Let caris cook!!!! Rage timeout !!!
Nice play Caris.
LFG!
Spida en fuego and yes the bucks look tired.
Wearing Dame like a cape!
Middleton freaking tackled him!
JAMES DEAN WADE LETS GOOO
Attaway Dean
X2
JA is spooked on his shot
Strus had got to give them something on offense.
he has not been the flamethrower i had hoped for
I don’t love the offense they’re running. Run some small/small pick and pop.
They started running pick and pop with Wade instead. I dig it.
Mitchell just holding the ball to much.
yeah our motion offense is struggling. id like to see some cpj mins
these sloppy turnovers – its like were preparing for garlands return
Good lord. That was a weak call
Free fhrows
Omg
Nice ato play.
God I hope Mobley’s been shooting threes for the last month.
That was not a good start.
BOOKER 60 —— SUNS STILL LOSE TO THE PACERS—-DONCIC WITH 73 ——- CAN ANYONE PLAY DEFENSE
Silver outlawed it.
Also. Allen has to stop being a chicken about the 15-18 footer.
Cavs gotta stop spamming the diagonal cut to the basket, and run that cut all the way to the far corner. Play four/five out.
Cavs gotta change that diagonal cut to the basket and run that guy all the way to the far corner and swing it for a three. Use lopez as their screener.
Booker on 60. I commend Spida on his restraint so far 😆
Luka on 70. The NBA may have jumped the shark.
It’s ridonculous.
I LOVE THE 5 OUT OFFENSE——- HAVE OUR VARSITY RUNNING IT TO PERFECTION——— REALLY ENJOY SEEING BODIES/ BALL MOVE CONSTANTLY WITH A PURPOSE—-ALWAYS ATTACKING 👍👍
SCORING 40 IS KIND OF HO -HUM THIS YEAR
Bad possession Mitchell. Not trusting his teammates. Gotta move the ball.
Yeah that was ugly
Donovan a bit extra there.
Feels like Cavs are getting desperate but there’s no need, they are right there. Move the ball.
Agreed. Coaches need to settle em down. Too much max that half, Not enough Dean.
Damn Ice. Cmon man.
Giannis tackled Okoro 😂
NOMAD WAS “ THE REAL FONZ “ IN MY DAY 👍👍👍👍👍👍———-HEY !!!!
Bucks covering the JA / Strus 2 man game well. Time to try something new.
They need to play 5 out.
Wish TT were here to try to start something with Lillard and get him ejected.
Bad time to lose him for sure.
DONCIC GOING FOR 70+ TONIGHT
Stupidest season ever.
Suck it, Dame.
What was the Fonz like in real life, NOMAD?
I skipped ahead
Slow down, guys.
You gotta face up on Lopez and make him move his feet.
James Dean Wade
Good hustle ice. This team is soft.
Good lord, Crowder is one of my all time least favorite players.
Feel like I might be quoting MikeO when I say “Crowder is ass”.
And David Wood.
And Elijah Kim.
And Nate Smith.
And Simmo.
Heh
Woof. Caris.
Great play sam
The officiating this game has been so butt.
Just caught up! Thank God they brought Damian back in.
Blam blam!!!
Eff Jae Crowder.
They should call Giannis “Cap’t Hook”
“ BUG EYES 👀 “ PORTIS ALWAYS PLAYS THE CAVS TOUGH
Hooked Niang
Not sure how you stop that.
Just starting – I see they decided to finally call a 23 second violation against Lopez camping in the lane.
I wish JA would just start shooting the open shots from the free throw line against the lopez defense
Makes you appreciate e-sports where there is no ref and all the rules are enforced by the game
BUCKS 2 FAMOUS HOOKS——- KAREEM S “” SKY HOOK “ ————- GIANNIS s “ BODY “ —— 1 IS LEGENDARY—-THE OTHER “ FRIGGIN FRUSTRATING “ 😡
hahaha
BS call against Max. Easily should have been a jump ball. Giannis gets the call because of a hissy fit.
BOTH LUKA / BOOKER GOING FOR 60 TONIGHT/ SPIDA MIGHT AS WELL JOIN THEM—— GO CAVS 👍🏀
So tired of the Giannis hook, like why won’t the refs call that its so obvious
CAVS NEED TO TREAT THIS GAME AS. 3 GAME PLAYOFF——-WINNER TONIGHT ADVANCES
FUCHS THE ALL SHIT GAME———- SPIDA NEEDS TO PLAY THE SONG “IT S TIME FOR WAR “ AND THEN GO PLAY LIKE IT …………… I.ALREADY WORKED UP A “ GOOD LATHER “ I NEED SOME………. “ MORE BEER 🍺 PLEASE “
