Live Thread: Cavs @ Bucks
2021-12-06Good evening CtB!
Last night, the Cavs began a brutal stretch of the schedule with a heartbreaking loss to one of the NBA’s best teams, the Utah Jazz. Tonight, the task is no easier with the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks hosting the Cavs for a major Central Division battle.
The Cavs will be shorthanded again, without Dylan Windler and Dean Wade particularly, the former being inexplicably sent to the G League Cleveland Charge basketball team to play for them tonight even though the Cavs are playing their second game of a back to back. It sure seems like that the Cavs could’ve used five to 10 minutes of Windler to spell the starting unit but what do I know, I’m just a fan!
For the Bucks, they will be shorthanded as well (Brook Lopez, Donte DiVincenzo, and Semi Ojeleye all OUT) and possibly without Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is a game time decision. Just speculating but it seems like Giannis will want to play to keep the good times rolling in Milwaukee, who have vaulted up the Eastern Conference standings after a rough start to the season.
Tip off is scheduled for 8:00PM ET and will be broadcasted on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, GO CAVS!

WTF Giannis making threes now
Yeah, if Giannis is hitting that, you ain’t winning…
Giannis making threes tonight.
He fixed his jumper, league is in trouble.
And the FT stroke.
Giannis is the next guy who gets on Mount Olympus (Jordan, Kareem, Russell, Wilt, LeBron, Mikan, Magic, Bird, Duncan, Shaq, Kobe, Oscar).
Okoro benched for lack of offense?
lack of everything he was awful.
DG CLUTCH LETS GOOO
Don’t like JA in there, he’s been getting killed all night and we need 3s.
oh my god Giannis making plinko shots
JB slow to fix the Middleton mismatch, DG getting stuck on him was killer.
Jrue giving DG fits.
No legs left for shooting. Would be nice to see Stevens back in here
Good take foul. As much as i hate them.
F****
Running out of gas…
STEVENS STEAL!!!!!!!!!
We really miss having another guy who can generate their own offense. If DG is off….
Great move Mobley. Just took Giannis to hole m
MOBLEY TAKIING GIANNIS ONE ON ONE AND WINNING!
Sorry guys. Haven’t been able to comment. Busy night. caught most of the second half. Phenomenal gane.
this is bad, had to make up ground with Giannis on the bench.
From deep:
Cedi 1-8
DG 0-2
DG just doesn’t have it tonight…
WTF Cavs just rushing shots, take your time create a mismatch!
Cannot make a shot.
dammit Cedi that was your shot!
6 point swing that hurt.

I don’t understand that call…just cuz the offensive guy is nervous to land doesn’t mean he’s actually not able to land.
it was a joke, unfortunately Cavs got tilted from that call.
Cousins is such a massive problem
TOTAL BULLSHIT CALL HE FLOPPED
RUBIO FOR THREE!!! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
LOVE IS RAINING THREES!!!!!
Love keeping them close with his shooting…
GREAT DEFENSE STEVENS!
LOVE IS IN THE AIR!
Mobley just doesn’t have it tonight. Maybe the Bucks physicality is getting to him. He needs to put some meat on
he’s sped up for sure on offense.
No legs…think the physicality is tough to handle with this many nba minutes in 2 days. Needs 20 more lbs
damn couple of bad offensive possessions.
Man, Cousins is gonna injure someone.
dirty player
GREAT CONTEST STEVENS
Mobley just shoot the floater,
LOVE FORCES THE TURNOVER LETS GOOOO!!!!!!
I love how this team continues to fight even when down 10+. Prior versions of Cavs teams would’ve mailed it in on the second night of a B2B
Just when I thought the Cavs were out of gas… no quit, all grit. Go Cavs
Stevens is the extra guy we needed to step up. Need his legs on d too!
