Live Thread: Cavs vs. Bucks (#HappyBirthdayToDrew)
2016-03-23
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.
Yeay for the the win. Missed it so video highlights were appreciated, thanks EG.
Anytime!
Ugh…can’t the Celtics win but still somehow also lose? They’re so annoying
They lose cause they have to live in Bahstaan… (no offense Charlie E!)
Don’t you want them to win?
This thread was really weird tonight. For like 5-8 mins I couldn’t see anyone else’s comments. I don’t know why that happen. Maybe I should refresh?
Yeah, Nate had to shut off the auto refresh on the comments because it kept crashing the site… We’re working on that. For now though, you have to go back to the old way of refreshing…
Oh ok…LoL I thought everyone left to get something to eat or something..
Posted this earlier. Auto refresh is broken. Have to refresh manually.
I missed that comment.
Kyrie kevin and Lebron all had monster games. In the same game. Against a team we always have trouble with. Gimme zero dark thirty Lebron over just about any player on the planet…dude was on a mission all night
Love made 24 pts in honor of Kyrie’s 24th Birthday! Good team mate!!
That’s a beautiful line from the Birthday Boy…

JEFF AND CAMPY BOTH TALKING ABOUT THE ” MAGICAL 23 “—-MAY HAVE TO CHANGE NAME TO NOMAD 23 —WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK
I hope we were all too hard on Kevin Love when he was sick last week.
NOMAD… Cavs now 31-2 when they get at least 23 dimes…
CELTS BEATING THE RAPTORS AT THE END OF 3——GO CELTICS ( OUCH THAT HURT )
Why is Lowry out tonight? Rest?
Sore right elbow. The pregame word was he would be in uniform but probably wouldn’t play.
JR photo bombs KLOVE yelling “Dropping Dimes-Dropping Dimes”
I want to see that!!
Kyrie was 2 rebounds and 2 assists shy of a triple double!
Excellent all around game by the Cavs. Great games by LBJ, KLove, TT, and Timo in short minutes. Big shots by JR, too.
I would wager that was one of their top five, maybe top three, games of the season in terms of number of passes on offense. Kept the Bucks D under pressure all night.
Conscious effort to move the ball the entire night and celebrating teammates’ success. Different energy level for sure!
LOOKS LIKE KEV HAD A REAL GOOD NIGHT ( THINK HE JUST NEEDS GAMES OFF OCCASSIONALLY —-AND THE ” MOZ STOCK ” CONTINUES TO RISE) —-ALL GOOD SIGNS
Responds very well to rest.
Fun game. Still some big defensive lapses. If mcw had gotten hurt earlier in the year, the Bucks might be a playoff team.

LOL! If any of you haven’t pressed play on this, you really should.

KYRIE with the D on the ALPHABET! Can’t buy a vowel!
They can’t seem to stop Bayless…
Boston leading Raptors by 9
Lebron has been great off the ball lately
Cavs have 28 assists. A good night in the Nomad household.
No. 28:

Great look by Kyrie to Bron !

Man. That has to be demoralizing for the defense. Three offensive rebounds and a minute+ long possession for two.

TT MAN amongst boys!!! ??
LETS SEE BIZMACK DO THAT!!!!!
And TT with the grown-man follow!

TT is a machine!!!
TT comes out of the forest with another O-board.
That would have brought the house down!
Cavs look tired!
TT coming up HUGE!
Someone set a hard screen on Skip Bayless!
TT with the big BLOCK!

All five #Cavs starters (+@RealTristan13) in double-figures.
Nice passing!
GREAT ball movement! And great to see this late in the game!
Great body and ball movement!
Hell ya!!! The Pipe!
You have 3 big dudes in there over 6’8 and Lue waits until the score is close? Maddening. Looks like I’m talking to myself. I guess I’ll hop on twitter.
Only guy he can put in is Moz…
For the record… Bucks have like 8 guys who are over 6’8…
Amazing! I meant on the floor at that particular moment
The Gyro Step!!!
Good long rest for LBJ… probably have to bring him back soon tho…
Hello Lue. They are getting us in the paint
Someone needs to steal the Greeks go-go gadget arms!
Or his achilles tendons… Fred just said they are twice as long as a normal persons…. freaky…
Fred has some weird fetishes!
Just caught up. Pretty good game.
Lots of great offense… ball movement and player movement… D still lacking (mostly on box outs)…
C’mon it’s his birthday Refs!
JR SWISHHHHH!!
https://vine.co/v/ipnPgrrKjd1
Let’s not wait too Long on that Lue.
The Plumlees have their own reality show. Just the 50 of us!
Might have to get Moz in there on Plumlee.
WTH? Shump Just shoot it anyways
