Live Thread Cavs @ Bucks
2022-11-25Good evening CtB!
The Cavs have traded the shores of Lake Erie for the shores of Lake Michigan as the good guys will be in for a massive Central Division showdown with the Bucks of Milwaukee. With a win the Cavs can overtake the Bucks for the second seed, and while it seems ridiculous to point this out especially in November, every game matters for championship contending teams.
The Cavs are riding the high of a four game win streak, while the Bucks are mired in .500 ball the last 10 games mainly because their offense sucks bad. Hopefully they don’t figure it out tonight against the Cavs’ defense. They will have Jrue Holiday back for this contest, but it sounds like Khris Middleton is still out. The Cavs will be missing at least three rotation guys in Caris LeVert, Kevin Love, and Lamar Stevens. But have no fear, Dean Wade starts for the Cavs tonight!
Tip off is scheduled for 8:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio, Go Cavs!
Cavs were 3-18 (17%) and Bucks 14/24 (58%) in the 3rd.
Man did someone lace the drinking water with bricks in the Cavs locker room?
Well,they did score that quarter.Way to avoid the shutout.
Didnt actually think our floor was that low.
JA is the heart and soul of the team, just a completely different team with him off the floor.
Yep. He is the key.
Agreed.
Stevens is missed as well. So are Love, LeVert, & Rubio.
Yeah they’re completely lost without him.
Allen must be injured. He was pulled pretty quickly in the 3rd.
yup, which means JB going 7 deep in November LMFAOOO
after we got it to 73-80 with 1:04 left, they closed on a 7-0 run.
-25 that quarter.
Awful.
It would have been even uglier if we weren’t up 11 at the half.
well that was a disaster. also i hate all the mean mugging (in general)
Where did everyone go?
Who, our Cavs team?
I couldn’t see any comments until now
Yeah content refresh seems a bit sluggish recently
How can Cavs be soo good in 2 quarters and look like a different team the next.. so hard to figure.. we need 4 good quarters against solid contenders, especially on the road.
they’re extremely young…. young players are inconsistent.
The defense needs to be consistent throughout.. defense got us on the break as well
I”m just answering the question, it’s not hard to figure IMO… they’re young.
Missing Love. He doesn’t let quarters like that happen.
Agree, think he would have brought a lot of stability to this game.
got I hate JB, put in Neto another 8 man rotation on the road in November, no Neto, no Diakite, No Mobley.
Come now. A minute or two for Neto to settle things I can buy. But Mobley & Diakite?
they earned 5 a piece from what they been doing, they play defense and can create chaos.
Cavs totally abandoned who they were from the first 24 minutes
Bucks 33 Cavs 10 this quarter
About to have 33
Good job Rolo!!!!
Got it in double digits with 4 from Lopez, 4 from Okoro and 2 from DM
Lopez giving us more than JA or Mobley.
What was that though?.. nobody went for the rebound and then gives up an and 1 opportunity.
Liking Okoro’s aggression
Still in it.
great looks can’t make shit…frantic rhythm.
Clank clank clank
Gosh they can’t make anything.
23-4 advantage for bucks.
Let’s call it what it is. This is an embarrassing capitulation.
Half of giannis offense depends on taking four steps.
why wasnt that foul on nwara on ice breakaway a clear path foul?
Great question
1-11 for Cavs and 9-15 for Bucks..
Cavs not getting any mismatches on offense, Constantly shooting over the best defenders
4 minutes left in the quarter and they’ve score 2 points
22-2 run. This might be the worst quarter they’ve played this season.
This is the worst quarter anyone has played all season.
2-22 to kick off the 3rd isn’t ideal.
Missing Stevens and his toughness
did we use up all our timeouts or something?
IDK JB doing his best Phil Jackson impression.
Giannis sitting. They need to press now.
What is the record for fewest points in a quarter?
Six?
Lopez a bit of a disaster right now
He has plenty of company.
Why was Allen taken out so early in the 3rd?
got benched for Lopez early
Yeesh. I just came back. What’s the word on JA?
17 to 2 run by the Bucks
Make it a 20-2 run 🤦♂️
We need DM to take over honestly..
yup, let him run point.
GET THE VETS IN JB
As in who though?
Buck stampede. Gotta weather it. Champions do
Horrible start to the 3rd
4 TOs. 1 basket so far.
Mobes is 2-10 and Allen is 0-2.
yup, need more from them.
2 pts in 4.5 minutes will get you beat most nights.
Experts see this as a breakout year for Mobley. I’m not seeing it. His defense is elite tho.
Offense is a work in progress.
Losing TOs and 2nd chance.
16 pt lead almost gone.
Man Mobleys touch is off. So many missed shots at the rim.
The difference between future Mobley and present Mobley is painfully obvious right now.
hopefully these games motivate mobely to keep working hard – hes got a long ways to go
MY GOD WHAT A FINISH MITCHELL
Mitchell with 3 guys on him – nice floater
jesus Mobley falling asleep on Giannis, and JA weakside nothing.
There goes our lead!
Time for Neto.
GREAT DEFENSE WADE
JA short armed that shot
Matched our 1st half TO total already.
TO out of a TO. I hate that. Awful start to 3rd.
3rd quarter 2 TOs 0 points
Update 3 TOs
Cavs going to be facing some tough D this half. Will need to show patience and take care of the ball
Pretty sure they will try to make anyone but d&d beat them this half. Without love we will need bettershooting from wade and okoro
We need JA & Mobley to score some.
Phew, Jarrett is back.

Kings right with Boston tonight in Boston.
Just keep playing defense. Free points on the transition dunks are like free throws earned on d
I badly want 2nd place.
Cavs 12 of 15 at the line
Bucks 14 of 20 at the line
Giannis with 11 of those FTA
https://twitter.com/chrisfedor/status/1596326827555180544?s=46&t=IRuoOarpcbKNrAqUs204kg
Only 2 TOs and winning 2nd chance points easily.
Both VERY good signs. 2 TOs with Jrue & Giannis on the other side is exceptional.
Gotta think better of the lobs over Giannis, though. That is not working.
9 rebounds for Wade so far, real solid half for him on both sides of the ball.
Good half. Aside from some foul trouble (DG 3, JA & Wade with 2).
Gonna have to watch that in the 2nd half with a short bench. Though RoLo & Neto do provide cover for JA & DG.
