Live Thread: Cavs @ Bucks
2017-12-19
Matthew Dellavedova’s going to start! Delly, after sitting out with an injury for quite some time is in the starting lineup (though on a minutes restriction) for Milwaukee. I assume he’ll be alongside another guy I’d love to have on the Cavs, Eric Bledsoe. For the Cavs, Everyone but Thomas is available, though Lue is supposedly being “cautious” with Iman Shumpert. Cleveland has won 17 of the last 18, while the Bucks have dropped three straight. I’m sure they’ll be hungry for a win.
Prediction: Cleveland Squeaks out a win with superior LeXecution down the stretch and wins 112-110.
Just too easy for Bucks…torching Cavs on breaks…
Transition D… still a problem… #statingtheobvious
Henson always seems to irritate me.
Argh. Get crowder out.
What’s Crowder doing?

Jose looked like he drew contact on that 3.
Jose has to shoot that.
Calderon playing hard tonight.
Get it under 10 by 2 minutes & then win the last two.
Bad pass by Jose there.
Kings win. Some awesome D from the King. Plus Crowder playing well.
I expect a pissed off La Flama Blanca to check in shortly…
That bledsoe three was on LeBron who decided not to get back on D.
Jim Henson brings his puppets with him to the foul line and goes 1/2.
IF only Crowder could hit open threes
Interesting that it’s Calderon urging his team to get up the floor into offensive sets faster….a lot of dawdling out there.
Hey Middleton… you like apples?
HOW BOUT THEM APPLES??
LeBlock!
What would the Cavs’ non Jae crowder shooting % be?
What is Crowder from 3 now, anyone know?
32%
Gotta be dropping close to 30%
No more non corner threes for a while, Jae…
Man, you guys give up pretty easily…
If the Cavs come back… this will be one of those games that builds the case for LBJ’s MVP Award…
Oh Delly… you know better…
That play did make me a little sad…..
Wonder what adjustments were made that Jim Boylan referenced with Allie? I think Stan Van Grundy said in the Cavs blowout of the Pistons that every team has 2-3 rotten games a year, and this may be one for the Cavs
Sacto about to beat Philly…
Philly’s scrubs were killing it from 3 early in the season…lately it’s just been Embiid and Simmons…
Kings up 6 with 30 secs left and the ball. Surely they cannot blow this.
Sweet.
It’s not looking good.
Great start. Lose by 30?
Depends if Lue sits the starters. It would be on my mind shortly if this continues.
Play like trash, and you lose.
Jason Kidd is picking us apart. I haven’t seen this since the finals.
Well, that’s no way to start a half…
Hot start Cavs……
Anyone get the feeling that Jae and Dwyane partied a little hard at Marquette last night?
I don’t think Gabrielle lets Dwayne party…
They were at some ceremony or something there Lasr night.
We are 50%+ from the field and from deep … and are down 11. Down 21-13 on the glass. D has to improve, 39 pt 2nd quarter.
Refs have been horrid. LeBron getting mauled out there and nothing.
Cavs only down six if you don’t count total gift freethrows.
Still… if not for foul trouble, a couple of buckets from Korver and this is a close game…
team will come back….Bucks are prone to giving up big leads and really haven’t had answer to Lebron at all…I would put in Frye second half if Im Lue
Lue seemed intent on getting TT his 10 mins or else Frye should,have been in there
Cavs doing decent job on Giannis, but letting other guys shoot mostly unmolested…
Bucks bench strong with Snell and Brogdan. have no idea why Brogdan is not starting unless Kidd wants a strong bench. Crowder and Wade doing nothing….Korver getting screwed by officiating…Bucks getting home cooking from officials big time….Lebrons been fouled at least 6x and gotten calls twice….see how 2nd half rolls around…Imagine Cavs come back from this…Bucks haven’t shown they can keep a lead and pull away…Love looks awesome so far.
Brogdon not starting for the same reason Korver doesn’t start.
Snell usually starts in Delly’s spot.
Bledsoe, Snell, Middleton, Giannis, Henson. Brogdon & Delly off the bench.
There is apparently no halftime show on 4K… just that same camera angle from the tunnel with the audio from the halftime festivities in Milwaukee… so weird…
Halftime show is a bunch of old ladies dancing.
Naw that was 1Q. There was a pretty cool BMX acrobatics display at the half.
Outscored by 18 in the last 12:01.

That quarter was pretty horrible….
Angry LBJ is good LBJ….
Kept it under 70… success!
3rd time this quarter wr fail to get an easy board & they score. Ugh.
That’s ballgame. You don’t give up 70 1st half points and win.
They can… but they’re making it hard on themselves…
They’re only down 11. They can definitely win this still. It would help if the refs called a fair game.
Crowder shoots way too many 3s, for not being a 3 point shooter. He’s really been a disappointment.
And that wasn’t even a three… foot on the line…
He loves those almost 3s.
Even Celtic fans used to b!tch about that, and they usually think all their role players are All Stars…
He probably thinks it’s still his outlier year last year…
They’re encouraging him to shoot with confidence.
Maybe the worst defense since the first 12 games…
Turnovers will do that.
I’ve been waiting for a game against quality two way guards.
Like? I mean Bledsoe isn’t a two way guy… Delly is good defensively… Middleton, maybe…
Seriously hoping this is one of KLove’s 4 quarter games….
Kings were down 14 to Philly, now up 5. If the Kings can do it, we can do it.

Henson is the exact matchup frye can exploit. Zero minutes.
Didn’t have enough shooters on the floor. And Crowder giving virtually nothing again. K Love still ballin though
we’ll come back i think. kover’s terrible 3 fouls have really thrown off our normal rotation
Way to knock em down Kev!
Love helping out with a couple of 3s. Put in Frye too!
Middleton push off… no call…
Yeah, Bucks are hitting shots, but this is obscene…
KLOVE! Steal and trey!
Kev with a huge steal and trey.
wow. lebron gets fouled every freakin time he goes to the rim.
LBJ only thing keeping this from being an absolute blowout…
And love.
Well yeah, now…
Bucks can’t miss from 3.
Actually impressed that Cavs started so well. Right now Bucks look was more athletic & Cavs look old.
Wow. LeBulldozer.
How about block someone out Cavs?
Argh. crowder can’t go for that o board. Has to get back.
