Live Thread: Bucks @ Cavs
2022-01-26Tonight is a big one folks, the Milwaukee Bucks arrive at the shores of Lake Erie to take on the Cavs in a massive Eastern Conference/Central Division tilt. The Cavs will face a tough task taking on the reigning NBA champs given all of the injury trouble. The Bucks will have their big three and will be looking to assert their dominance in the second half of the season to make a run for the top seed in the playoffs.
The Cavs should get back Jarrett Allen after a brief absence, so the Cavs will just be without Ricky Rubio, Collin Sexton, and Lauri Markkanen.
So what can the Cavs do to make it a game? They will probably have to ugly the game up with their defense, which the Cavs have successfully shown the past couple of games. But the Bucks are obviously a completely different challenge than the Knicks or Thunder. If they can keep it close in the fourth and find some magic with DG? They’ve got a shot!
Tip of is scheduled for 7:00PM ET and will be broadcasted on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, GO CAVS!
13 Cavs played — all were at least +2.
13 Bucks played — all were at best -2.
Total team win!
Cedi 1 of 20 from distance in the last 5 games? Am I hearing this right?
I mean it sounds right. But jeez whadda turnaround.
Sounds right. He hadn’t hit anything for a while prior to tonight.
whoa nellie.. the boys are back in town.. are we all just characters in a kevin love dream ?
Love is in the perfect place for this point in his career!
Nets lose to Denver. Bulls hold on vs Toronto.
I believe we are in 3rd at the moment..
Yep, Cleveland cavaliers are 3rd in the eastern conference. Unbelievable love these guys
that was my prediction a couple weeks into the season. don’t think anyone predicted it pre season.
Yup they are in the 3-hole. Unreal.
Wow what a game. Really believe in and can see what KLove referenced in the post game. This is a team that plays for each other!!!
Well, we do not play again until Sunday, so hopefully DG’s back gets some treatment by then & improves.
I had no faith after one. What a turnaround. Needed a hot night from Love and Cedi and got it right on time!
My neither. Especially when DG looked like he might be out.
I think the Bucks made 7 of 8 threes to start, and were up about a dozen. Thinking this might get ugly. I got out of the car to do some shopping, and when I got back the Cavs were down 2 — this is going to be fun.
CONTENDERSNOT PRETENDERS —KEEP IT GOING CAVS// DAWGS—WOOF-WOOF WOOF ———KLOVE ENJOYING THIS SEASON SO MUCH—-PROBABLY SO MUCH MORE THAN WHEN HE PLAYED WITH LEBRON—I FELT KLOVE PLAYED SOMEWHAT TENTATIVE WITH LEBRON///AFRAID TO MAKE A MISTAKE// PISS LEBRON OFF AND HAVE LEBRON CALL HIM OUT FOR THAT IN THE MEDIA –JUST MY OPINION
agree. you got it. now we see why no one wanted to play with LeBron.
What a game! My wife is really giving me a hard time for low expectations at the beginning. Super shooting from KLove and Cedi. All kinds of fight from Mobley and Lamar. Rondo with a huge 3 to keep separation.
This one was Love’s and Cedi’s game…crazy production from them…
five starters scored 58, four reserves scored 57. don’t recall ever seeing the bench outscore the starters.
ALL I // WE NEED NOW TO MAKE THE NIGHT COMPLETE IS A POST FROM EVIL GENIOUS —-CMON EVIL DO US ALL A TREAT —MAKE THE NIGHT COMPLETE !!
RIGHT ON JASON YOU WIN—–SHE (AMY ) WAS TRULY AMAZING !!!
That game was sick!!! Refs felt bad for Bucks lolol
bummed I missed this one – that’s a crazy good win!
DVR THE REPLAY TOM!!!
If there’s one replay to catch…
Shoutout to nbareplay.net!
The Nets are resting Harden tonight, home to the Nuggets. He must have exhausted his fat butt trying to win the last one withiut Kyrie. I think it is rest. Oops, no rest, “left hamstring tightness.”
But they are still up 3 in the 3rd. Come on Joker, get us to 3rd.
Pretty sure the Beard is fed the F up with Kyrie’s idiocy…
Kyrie put the ‘a’ in team. As in a hole
haha!
Bucks full strength versus a beat up Cavs, JA’s first game back, no LAURI, DG injured and we kicked their ass. Completely won the physical battle and the game. Everyone stepped up. God I love this team.
Love 25/9 in 27 minutes…and he played pretty tough…
Considering Giannis, Jruu, and Middleton were all healthy…..that is our best win of the year.
THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT NIGHT ALBEIT AMY LOST ON JEOPARDY TONIGHT
Yeah, that was a bummer. She was awesome to watch
Bangladesh.
Any team that wants to see the Cavs in the first round is delusional…
WORLD B —YOU MADE ME DO A “CLF ” —GREAT POST !!!
STATEMENT. CLEVELAND IS FOR REAL DAWG! WOOF WOOF WOOF
Loved how the Cavs defended Giannis tonight. He got to the free throw line, but multiple guys converging to the ball on his drives and doubled him a fair amount
I think half the calls Giannis got wouldn’t be called in the playoffs. Granted he and the Bucks’d be more aggressive, but I think Cavs D will translate well to the postseason.
Great win! Nice little 3 game stretch coming up – Detroit, NO, Houston
LETS F*************** GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Wow what a game !!!
Cool to see Sexton on the bench recently…
saw somewhere he’s planning on playing in the playoffs
CONTENDERS NOT PRETENDERS—-WOOF–WOOF WOOF——–IT’S TIME FOR WAR !!!!—THANKS AGAIN NATE FOR THAT——GOING TO WATCH REPLAY TONIGHT AND TOMORROW WITH……..” MORE BEER PLEASE “
I am about to pop my first beer of the night!
So the games on the roster I had marked off as likely losses….are turning into wins. Where is this team gonna end up???
LAMAR STEVENS STRONG TO THE RIM!
LET ‘EM KNOW!!!!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO FOURTH PLACE EASTERN CONFERENCE!
Jimmy Dean Wade!
Victory cigar time…
Wade making the most of his minutes, fantastic to see
JAMES DEAN WADE IS A BUCKET
Biggest Cavs win of the year.
Most surprising win for me…I didn’t think they had of a chance tonight…
Certainly not after the first quarter…
I AGREE WITH DANK —DO NOT TRADE ANY PLAYER OFF THIS TEAM—GO FOR A DECENT BUYOUT
I would absolutely trade Pangos!
Haha. Post of the night. Haha

Smart point from Mike, as usual…
So I know small sample size and all….. but do we really need a trade ? I guess additional depth wouldn’t hurt but once Lauri is back I just really love our 9 man rotation
IDK, Rondo is super old but Koby can afford to be patient.
If they can get one more guy who can create his own shot, maybe they make a move. Otherwise, I think they stand pat
Is that a white flag TO from Bud?
Up 18 at 3:30.
IF HE KNOWS WHATS GOOD FOR THEM!!!
That’s right. Walk away, Bud, before you have to limp home.
100%
great look Allen just missed
Comprehensive victory….
Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Yeah too cocky I know.
CEDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
C3DI!
Great game from Love. 25 & 9 (10?).
OH YEAH, rondo!

MY GOD WHAT A FINISH RONDO!
CIRCUS SHOT RONDO!,!
Rage on, Rondo
NO QUIT —ALL GRIT —WOOF-WOOF WOOF !!!!

RONDO CLUTCH THREE
Lol RONDO!,,
If it bleeds you can kill it…
Following this great game on ESPN.com from my NYC home. NBA TV just now carrying it for a few minutes! 101-83.
As they should!!!
How is that shoulder not a foul!!!! Fuck
Guess Giannis isn’t missing a FT tonight…
That pass by Rondo was insane LMFAOOOO
That should have been an offensive foul on Giannis…
Yeah lots of lowering of the shoulder
Indeed. They do not. Not want to lose.
LOV3!!!
Cavs defensive intensity is the difference. These kids aren’t scared. They’re DAWGS! WOOF WOOF WOOF
Let’s gooooooo
Mobley really getting tougher on the boards…he’s going to be a beast sooner rather than later…
Love has been a beast on the defensive end tonight
DG TO LOVE GREAT TWO MAN LETS GOOOOOO
Kev gets one back! And a bucket!
All right, Cavs gotta refocus from all these calls.
