Live Thread: Cavs @ Bucks
2015-04-08
The Cavs travel to Milwaukee tonight to face the young Bucks. The Bucks have lost three of their past five games, although two of those losses came against the Hawks and Warriors. This team has been a surprise the whole season. Coach Jason Kidd has utilized his team’s length to make passing against them next to impossible. The Bucks are causing 16.3 turnovers a game, which is number one in the league. They swipe 9.4 balls per game, which is good for 3rd in the NBA.
If the Cavs pull off a win tonight, they will clinch their fourth Central Division banner and the number two seed.
Get excited to watch the massive length of the Bucks battle the ball handling talents of the Cavs. I’m picking the Cavs to win this one 103-98.
I would prefer seeing the celts at 7th seed—–we cavs fans ( after all the off season transactions 0 have set very high goals for this cavs team ( rightfully so ) but let’s take time / catch our breath —– A CLEVELAND TEAM IS DIVISION CHAMPS —-ONLY THE 4TH TIME IN CAVS HISTORY —–SO I KNOW WE ALL WANT MORE —LET’S TAKE TIME TO REJOICE WHAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED SO FAR—-GREAT JOB BY THE CAVS —-KEEP IT GOING !!
Awesome prediction on the score !!!
Anyone else hate the new ESPN.com? Now CtB is nowhere to be found on the Cavs page.
Boooo!
This doesn’t affect me since I go first to CtB and then usually later to ESPN. But still, not cool.
Some things to like about new design, but I wish you could close the big banner ads and it wasn’t so hard to get the video clips on the screen.
Anybody catch the final score? David, let me know the next time you head for Vegas….
THE LINEUP FOR THE NEXT WEEK:
Delly / Harris
Harris / Delly
Miller / Matrix
Jones / Matrix
Haywood / Perkins / Cols
The Haywood/Perkins/Cols line made me lol…
@WindhorstESPN: Though not finalized, LeBron James hinted he’ll sit the next 2 games. Both are against Celtics so it could affect playoff race/seedings
Tank the Celtics into the 7th seed.
LeBron’s hit that one dribble side-step 3 from the right wing a few times this season. Becoming a signature go to move. Hit it against the Spurs in that huge game.
Here’s the Kyriediculous play: https://instagram.com/p/1PLjW6yLsH/
OMG JR’s antics during the post game interview were hilarious.
Raps tied with the Bulls now for the three seed
Mike Aviles just hit a solo shot to put Tribe up 2-0 in the 8th…
Smart timeout by LBJ…
I was just about to type… NO NO NO!!! Of course the King makes them pay…
LBJ is the Tim Misny of ISO ball… “I’ll make… them pay…”
Good to see LBJ finish things off from time to time (though I still hate LBJ ISO)
That’s the dagger!
No conclusive evidence shows it going off of a CAV.
Important call for Bucks
KYRIE IS MAGIC
That was ridiculous.
Kyriediculous…
NOMAD… Carrasco just struck out his 10th batter and Tito lifted him for Hagadone after 88 pitches. Tribe still up 1-0
Sweet. Picking up where he left off last year. And unaffected (so far) by the new contract.
Just glad he got the heart thing taken care of… scary
Yeah, what was that about – 6.1 innings with 10 SO and then he puts Hagadone in who promptly puts two on. Why not let the guy finish the inning when he’s only at 88?
zaza with a cheap shot to love’s chin on the missed free throw. lovely.
ZaZa is so good at getting open underneath like that…
as far as i can tell…he is only good at it against cleveland teams. he always kills us.
He’s been good at it all year… crafty big man. Did the same for ATL in the past
dang. Lebron wants to hurt someone.
Dudley’s gonna get himself hurt if he tries that kind of move again on LBJ…
KLOVE! MY WISH CAME TRUE!
KLove with the nifty reverse layup
James anticipated that pass so well he actually overran it.
shump trades off put back dunks with lebron. haha. pretty parallel.
SHUMP!!!!!!!
Somebody missed an assignment if Mayo is that wide open for three
I wouldn’t mind a little kevin love to finish the game here…
Ask and ye shall receive…
Cavs back to small ball…
At the right place at the right time. Bring the hammer down!!!
I think that bad call on delly’s floater pissed everyone off enough that we started feeling like winning.
James with the step-through for an uncontested layup on one trip, then a high-flying follow jam the next trip.
LBJ with the TAKE THAT SUCKA Jam…
I wonder if Sam Hinkie is watching this game… MCW going off!
Bayless looks like he’s talking a bunch of junk out there… TT just shrugged him off
oh lord. this is a friggin joke. who is paying them to toss this game away?
JR SAVE!
Some crappy officiating going on!
Delly with the Shved layup attempt…
They woke up JR…
LeBron’s passing has been great tonight, even for him. Seems like he has more than 6 assists.
At a certain point, you have to recognize the three ball isn’t falling and work inside. Cavs shooting 34.5 from three, 58.6 from 2.
Yeah, they don’t seem to have an off switch for taking three balls…
Hawks beat the Nets. The Nets had two chances for the lead down by 1 with the shot clock off but missed a pair of 3’s.
Why shoot threes when you’re down by one? not smart basketball.
And they have this guy Brook Lopez who is a pretty good offensive player…
The hawks were down one and got the ball inside for a dunk, even though there was time on the clock. smart basketball.
Lori was right!
that foul was soooo long before the layup. why didn’t shump just hug him though?
