Live Thread: Cavs vs. Bucks (#HappyBirthdayToDrew)

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had enough of playing “unfollow the leader” this week. Enough of the social media nonsense and real media reaction to it. Nearly lost in all of it was the fun of seeing the Cavs hit on the majority of cylinders against a mediocre Nuggets team, and LeBron’s surly and spectacular triple double. So, tonight… I’m gonna focus on the fun stuff as the Cavs welcome the Milwaukee Bucks to town for one more home game before they head off for a weekend set in the big apple. Namely, Kyrie Irving’s 24th birthday… It’s really hard to believe that Uncle Drew is still such a newcomer in this league. His youth and ceiling of growth keeps my positivity about this team’s future at a high level, despite what ultimately LeBron decides to do. I, for one, am going to do my best to enjoy the H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks out of the last Dirty Dozen games of this season… and eagerly await the post-season to come.

So, Happy Birthday Kyrie! Here’s hoping you get what you wish for, whether it’s a victory tonight, another Eastern Conference crown, or a time-share of the Larry O’Brien trophy come June. On another positive note, Kevin Love should be back in the lineup after a night off. Also, it’s JR Swishhhh bobblehead night for you lucky few attending tonight’s game… If anyone wants to sell theirs, please email me so I don’t have to resort to eBay bidding…

Prediction: Kyrie blows out the candles on the Bucks… and LeBron Snapchats a pic of it… Cavs win 111-94.
