Live Thread: Cavs @ Bucks
2026-02-25Well the injury report is all stocked up, Cavs fans. Its a stealth rest night for Cleveland against a Freakless Bucks team. The worst news of it: James Harden has a broken right thumb, but is just listed as “questionable.” They’ll likely be managing this injury till the playoffs. Spida (groin), Evan Mobley (calf management), and Max Strus will be joing James. As I called it last night, we’ll get get a whole new rotation tonight.
Taurean Prince will likely be out for the season, and Giannis is on the mend, so the Bucks are going to be an interesting challenge. I think the Cavs are up for it.
Bucks have scored on 6 straight possessions.
Schröders been out of control a number of times. This looks like another one.
Schröder isn’t gonna win this.
Nope
Tied it, though. ;)
Tough break on that Allen miss.
JAYLON TYSON REDEMPTION HOURS FINALLY
.
Gotta play through Allen the rest of the way.
Lucky he didn’t get a three second violation
More CPJ, less Shröder on offence, please.
Amen.
Time to get Allen back in.
KPJ was out of bounds.
Gonna be hard to get separation with the scrappy play.
Too much chucking too
PRACTICE YOUR FREE THROW JAMES DEAN DAMN
LETS GO THAT’S PERIMETER DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!
NICE DIVE BRYANT
CPJ ELITE POST ENTRY PASSER
GUTENTAG UMLAUT
Way to square that quarter.
Nice scrap back. Up 1 after 3.
KEON ELLIS HAS ENTERED THE CHAT
And turned the ball over
Bryant!
THOMAS BRYANT IS AN ABSOLUTE DAWG QUIT PLAYING WITH HIS MINUTES KENNY
CPJ continues to show that rebounding ability is not just about height. It’s between the ears.
And a 42 inch vertical.
#LETEMKNOW
Yikes Keon has a lot of broken blood vessels in his eyes. That looks like a blood pressure issue according to the health care provider I live with.
Thank you Kevin Porter Jr for taunting Jaylon and lighting a fire under our ass
3llis!
Fascinating contest so far. Backup team showing some resilience.
NOW WE’RE PLAYING SOME PERIMETER DEFENSE!!!!
SHOUTOUT CPJ!!!!!!!!!!!!! ABSOLUTE DEMON
Damn straight.
Smart, Dennis
Give em the ball back, Tyson.
Still over collapsing
Kenny waits way too long to call a timeout.
Schröder needs to take a seat.
Defense over collapsing.
Just giving up three after three
WTF IS THAT FOUL CALL???????
Three team fouls and counting. Keep attacking
Let’s get into the bonus
Schloppy
At least Johnny Bryant is on point.
PISTON s OVER OKC BY 10 —- OKC NO HOLMGREM TONIGHT
FEED JA —-HE IS HUNGRY—- WANT TO SEE KEON / SCHROEDER SHUT THE “ 3 “ SHOW DOWN
Winning the boards 28-20.
Offense is fine, but they are playing like shit on defense. On pace to give up 20 threes… creating zero turnovers, letting them move the ball and score with zero resistance.
At least they’re rebounding… only thing they’re doing right.
Part of it is the chucking leading to Milwaukee breaks.
Shooting 50% and have 17 assists and they have only 4 fastbreak points… don’t think that’s the issue IMO
OTOH we have zero fastbreak points, which is pathetic
True. Missing Mitchell & Harden, you think the D would be BETTER.
10-0 to start the 3rd for the Bucks. Losing a 3PT contest. Go inside more.
No matter how this turns out, this has been an encouraging half.
It’s been fun to see this version of Allen (again), Schroder and Merrill
Up 1. I would have taken that if offered.
Allen. Gorgeous
Someone gotta rip these guys for not passing to Allen.
Allen unstoppable.
WHY ARE WE LEAVING A DEAD EYE THREE POINT SHOOTER OPEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN?????????????
Guys just make the damn pass to the post
We only have 1 guy who makes that pass consistently.
SHOOT THAT 3 TOMLIN WTF
Time to sit Tomlin.
Kenny going 3 bigs, I like it
Good TO. Sam + 4 reserves vs their starters is a bad matchup.
Well, we are hanging in there. Been ahead for most of it.
defense has been absolute dogshit on the perimeter
CTHOMAS ANOTHER CAVS NEMESIS—— CMON CAVS —SHUT THESE BUMS DOWN 👍🏀💪
KUZMA s “ CAV KILLER” TONIGHT—WTF
K3on!
Cavs chucking
Nice to see CPJ getting some non-garbage minutes.
TYSON GOT TRIPPED CALL THE DAMN FOUL REF
How is that a foul on Dean?
great question
Tyson is too deferential in the backcourt, he needs to learn to just bring the damn ball up the court.
Thunderstorm here just took out our suburb’s internet. I am watching the game on a mobile, so pixelated it resembles the 80s computer game Dr. J vs. Larry Bird.
You Aussie fans are a different breed!!! LMFAOOO Stay safe!
I was a Double Dribble guy myself.
Damn. That was filthy by Sam.
JA been open first 4 possessions of the game, we hit him twice
Yeah. Wide open the first time
yeah Tyson pre-determined that pass to Merrill off the down screen.
Allen feasting.
30 LINEUP CHANGES “ AMAZINGLY- FRUSTRATING “ ……………….” MORE BEER 🍺 PLEASE “
30th starting lineup in 60 games??
Yeeesh – Kenny does stuff I don’t always agree with but give the man credit for getting us to 15 games over .500 with this many changes – no one else in the top 5 for lineups is over .500
Thank you for the LT Nate!!! BRB gotta eat, Go Cavs
Putting your stomach before the Cavs, SMDH.
