Live Thread: Bucks @ Cavs
2022-04-10Good afternoon CtB!
The end of the regular season has finally arrived. The Cavs welcome the Milwaukee Bucks to shores of Lake Erie in a Central Division clash. The Bucks will sit their entire playoff rotation outside of Jrue Holiday for this game, which changes the expectation of victory for the Cavs. Can the Cavs close the deal to lock up the eighth seed, or possible seventh seed? In spite of the Bucks’ load management, it will be a stern test.
Tip off is scheduled for 3:30PM ET and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, Go Cavs!
cap up
Anyone know what time the game is?
7pm, TNT
So is Allen gonna be back for the play-in?
Not betting on it
Guardians scrounged up some guy named Kwan, who came in today batting 0.600, went 5/5 w/ 4 runs, and left batting 0.800.
Their scouting and ability to id talent is why despite having no payroll they compete for the playoffs or hover around 500 much of the time. Sort of always been the case. They ID raw talent and then eventually lose it to teams that can pay.
That said Kwan is smoking hot, it’s way early, and he will hit a rookie wall at some point. But fun story at this point.
From ClevelandDOTcom: Kwan is the first player since at least 1901 to reach base 12 times in his first three games in the big leagues. Kwan’s eight hits in his first three big-league games are a franchise record. Kwan is the first player since 1901 to reach base six times in a game within his first three games. Kwan is the sixth player since 1901 to record a five-hit game within his first three games. The last to do it was White Sox’s DH Yermín Mercedes on April 2, 2021. Priot to that it hadn’t been done since 1933. He’s… Read more »
His contact rate and patience bode well for sustained success. We’ll see. Baseball is a marathon.
Hornets and Hawks have things in hand… let’s see if the Pacers can shock the Nets here
Kyrie and Durant hitting shots now, dont look so.
Kyrie makes scoring look so easy
Really would be sweet to shock the Nets at home and get the 7th seed.
Take the starters out, plx…
That Cedi 3 should do it…
Bench crew shit the bed… Brown, Goodwin, Nembhard totally shellshocked.
Brown seemed ok to me. Goodwin and Nembhard each had completely unforced turnovers.
nah, Brown 1 rebound, three fouls, -18 in 7 minutes.
zero stocks… he’s in there for one reason only, defense.
A real shame that the starters need to come back in
12 point game…now 14…
Nembhard looking like he has never played basketball.
Atleast Bucks bench guys are scoring in general.. We got our third-string guys in and we only have 6 points in 6 min in the fourth… come on Cavs!
WINDLER TO BROWN!!! WINDLER CAN PASS!
Whoa dang. Just turned game on. KLove with 32 pts in 14 min???
Bucks load managing only playing with 6 players.
Yeah figured, but still!
but it’s been fun!!!
Lakers Jerry Colangelo -““I didn’t think Kevin Love was gonna play. I wasn’t even sure he had much left to play,” Colangelo said, according to Joe Vardon of The Athletic. “He reached out to us and said he was in shape and said he felt he owed us. And on the basis of that, we’re looking at someone with international experience who at one time was a heck of a rebounder and could still shoot the ball. You know, being like a 12th man on a roster. Well, it didn’t work out. He wasn’t in shape. And he was way behind… Read more »
Love wasn’t good on that team, but Colangelo is a clown.
Clearly something left in the tank.
RONDO BOWLING BALL PASS TD!!!!
Really nice, he just needs to keep passing and don’t turn over the ball.
WTF is Rondo doing, just pass the ball to Caris man
NBA CHAMPION KEVIN LOVE
Lov3!!!
So good to have a big (Mobley) inside that can score
and defend!
MOBES ROY !!!
Really hope he wins.. but with the missed games and the strong play of Barnes and Cade, I’m not sure.
GOT DAMN THIS IS FUN IDC IF ITS THE WISCONSIN HERD!
Lol at Mobley just manhandling whoever is guarding him
Holy shit, did you see that kid kick Sir CC?
No LMFAOOOOOOOO post vid!
I couldn’t watch the game, but saw this being discussed online. Kid got a raw deal on the musical chairs game and didn’t take kindly to it?
KEVIN LOVE WHAT A CUT AND FINISH!
Is this “garbage time” ? or will there be a third quarter letdown?
Rondo def trying to get right in this game, and Goodwin is a dawg should be able to get there.
Doubt we see DG/Mobley in the 2nd half
I think they may start the 3rd quarter but don’t finish the game.
HEY MAYBE WE WIL SEE A WINDL3R 3 TODAY
Windler drive and reverse layup , thats good too
I WILL TAKE …….”MORE BEER PLEASE “
I don’t think this is going to be a very competitive basketball game. But I’ll take it!
Bucks in rest mode……not complaining.
Loing this game so far… haven’t been able to watch a nice stretch of bball in a while from the cavs.. Let’s go!
WOOF-WOOF -WOOF—GRANDKIDS ARE ‘HOWLING WITH PAPA ” :-)
wow what a pass Love, can’t teach that.
DG HESI >>>>>>>>>>>..
KEVIN LOVE RAINBOW!
Playing against the b-team Bucks will hopefully give our guys an opportunity to get some reps in and build some momentum and some confidence
LAKE ERIE SHOW IS BACK BABY
CAVS PUTTING ON A SHOW!!!!! LETS GOOOOO
ICE GREAT FINISH!
yeah, right to the hole. Great shot!!
About as good of a start as you could have asked… cavs up 19-3
Missed Mobley.. and happy to see them start off well so far.
LETS GOOOOO CAVS KEEP THE HAMMER DOWN!!!
Cavs putting the CLAMPS on quickly against this scrub unit. Better put them away early, get some rest and get ready for 1 or 2 play in games!
Last game of the regular season. What a ride we’ve had. No matter what happens, it was a blast and the future looks bright. LETS GO!
You know as a fan you always want to win now.. especially how the first half of the season went… to just bow out in the play would just suck.
Joel Embiid has won his first NBA scoring title as his final rival for the crown, Giannis Antetokounmpo, will sit out the Milwaukee Bucks’ regular-season finale against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday.
Atleast Giannis is sitting out today.
