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!
Recap up.
SAM ” MY MAN ” MERRILL FINISHED 6/13 FROM 3 PT LAND —STILL CLOSE TO 50 % FOR THE YEAR —-HAVEN’T SEEN HIM MISS A FREE THROW ATTEMPT—-KID HAS GOOD BASKETBALL IQ ALSO—–DOESN’T FORCE—CAN HIT THE OPEN PLAYER–NOT A STUD ON DFENSE BUT NOT A LIABALITY EITHER
SAM ” MY MAN ” MERRILL 4/8 FROM 3 PT LAND 1ST HALF—-COUPLE OF THOSE WERE FROM 30 ‘ LINE —-S COOPER STRUGGLING BIG TIME –AFTER HE WAS NAMED PLAYER OF THE WEEK / GLEAGUE LAST WEEK
Can’t win The Game? Need to go. That’s the way it is.
BRING UP SAM MERRILL!!!!!
AGREED DANK—-YOU REALLY HAVE TO HAVE SOME “STONES ” TO BE HEAD FOOTBALL COACH AT O-H-I-O ——99 % OF OTHER COLLEGES WOULD RELISH GOING 11-1 EVERY YEAR —-NOT AT O-H-I-O
RYYAN DAY HSD BETTER INVEST IN SOME “FIRE PROOF ” UNDERGARMENTS –HE IS OFFICIALLY ON THE ” HOT SEAT ” !!!!
yes for sure! though the expectations in Buckeye land are so absurd it makes it all the easier to just enjoy the Cavs (mostly) ups and (some) downs
How’s HardRock doing this year?
doing well, Knicks not taking advantage of his passing though.
GET HEALTHY ALL YOU CAVS —-REMEMBER WE HAVE YET SEEN RUBIO WITH THIS BUNCH// THINK IT WILL BE “EXTRACITING ” —-MORE 3-A-KITE PLEASE JB
HIRAM —-GET A LIFE OR ……..DRINK ” MORE BEER PLEASE “
Just imagine how awful it must feel to be addicted to spending this much of your life pushing this BS…
I think that Twitter user is kind of a clown. So I wouldn’t put much stock in what he has to say.
Few do. He’s a laughing stock.
Who the hell is this submoron?
+1 for inventing a new word — clearly needed in this situation.
Some people prefer to be miserable.
My first time watching Lauri playing live since he left. Sniff.
Also my first time watching Colin. He just drove into the teeth of the defence and had his shot blocked. I don’t miss that.
Sounds like semi-good news
Good to hear.
This game was basically the Cavs getting Cavalanched!
As a cleanser I’m going to go back and watch that 2016 series where we spanked Budenholzer and the Hawks in the playoffs.
LOVE IT~
Well at least Atlanta lost to the Rockets.
I’m rooting against all other east teams.. so glad they lost, despite Murray and Young basically going for 40 piece
I honestly forgot we were up 16 points in the 1st half.
best defense in the NBA by far.
Dg taking 18 shots and only 5 of those are 3s… not a great shot profile for him.
If we make the playoffs I want to avoid the Bucks as long as possible.
Says almost all teams.. like when we had Lebron.
I think it’s pretty clear that JB is gassing his guards. He needs to develop some sets with Neto/LeVert as a different look, and to give SpidaLand some rest.
They need LeVert back first. I know many teams are missing guys, but the Cavs haven’t had a full compliment for long…
Agree… LeVert is missed, especially his defense on the perimeter and passing to the bigs.
Yeah if we want any chance against this team we’ve gotta be fully healthy and the coach needs to know how to use the bench. I know he trusts Rubio so maybe that’ll help when he returns.
9 days ago the Cavs scored 38 points in the second half vs. the Bucks and lost. Tonight they scored 39 points and the second half and once again lost. Tonight seemed much worse because of the 3rd quarter meltdown and Allen going down, but they Bucks know how to make adjustments, and I’m not sure JB and the Cavs do?!
Bucks also have the best player in the NBA
None of this is wrong. But Allen went down at the worst time, which had a huge impact. I think the Bucks would have come back into the game anyway but I don’t think it would have been such a capitulation if he hadn’t.
I’m generally fine losing a close game. I don’t like getting spanked.
Bucks clearly pull the defensive switch in the second half of both games.
Sunday – Detroit
Monday – Raptors
Wednesday – 76ers
Friday – Magic
2-2 hopefully just need to tread water until bodies come back
But Philly is withouut harden, Joel and Maxey.. we need to come ready for a win..
doesn’t matter theyre winning without them LMFAO
nah …, 4-0 or 3-1
This is a mirror of the last game in the 2nd half.. Cavs got outplayed mainly in the 3rd quarter:
On Nov 16th: (Cavs up 61-60)
3rd quarter:
Cavs:6/21 = 29%
Bucks: 15/25 = 60%
On Nov 25th: (Cavs up 63 – 52)
3rd quarter:
Cavs:3/18 = 17%
Bucks: 14/25 = 58%
Bucks just have another gear the Cavs don’t have.
Are we missing more important players or are they? I cant tell. Either way they are stacked if Carter is going to never miss an open 3
they’re deep and a problem!
34-18 scoring adv Bucks (Nov 16 game) and then 35-10 Adv tonight in the 3rd.
DIAKITE!
Mins plz! Esp with caris and lamar out. JB still coaches like a rookie
agree. this would have been the game to use him
Anyone switching to other good games? Whatchoo watching?
brooklyn indy coming down to the wire!
nuggets clips gonna be decent too
That’s what I’m thinking.
Heat WIz, 1 point game and 1:37 left and Chi and OKC going into OT.
And garbage coaching.
Cavs with 26 points in the 2nd half 🤦♂️
More growing pains…
Well this much is clear: Bucks took this game seriously.
eh IDK not really, they were sleepwalking in the first half LMFAOOO
Disagree. Cavs played hard defense in the 1st. JB gave no breaks. Playing 6.5 players is not going to work for 2 halves
Hope Allen isn’t out too long. Can’t really afford it.
Missing Love already leaves some leadership vacuum. Losing Allen will really tax this team.
I smell another losing streak!
quick 8-0 run from Bucks after we got it “down” to 14.
Why is DG helping Mobley against Giannis.. like what will you really add?. and then left Carter to hit another 3.
Neto coming in. About time.
more garbage defense from DG on Carter
Not a coincidence, no JA, no joy in Mudville
Spida 3
garbage defense DG on Carter.
and its like they can hit all their 3’s this half..
4/12 in the 1st half and 9/17 in the 2nd half.
Bucks are 6/8 in the restricted area and 5/6 from corner 3’s in the 2nd half..
Cavs 2/4 from restricted area and no attempts from the corner 3…
Garland and Mitchell’s outside shots just broken right now. Not used to seeing that.
Legs. No. Effing. Legs.
DG’s shot has been terrible for the last 25 min
He’s missing the rim, bizarre
giannis making threes it’s over.
he was wide open (by design?)
yup, he is a 20% shooter from three.
12/27 for Cavs and 8/25 for Cavs from 3.
DEAN WADE 911 THREEE
CMON SPIDA THAT WAS ALL YOURS
SIX POINT SWING.
He’s tired….
Think JA has gone to lockers 😞
We need to defend and score now
Cavs like a little brother getting cocky with their older brother and getting their dicks knocked in the dirt. This what champions do on their homecourt
DG AND ONE CMON LETS GOOOOO
SAME TEAM CMON GUYS
I’m done can’t watch this.
I have it on mute now and need to hear negative comments about Cavs being a fake team, cant rebound etc from persons in my household.
Your gonna have to start jacking 3s if you wanna chance
yup
