Live Thread: Cavs @ Bucks
2026-02-25Well the injury report is all stocked up, Cavs fans. Its a stealth rest night for Cleveland against a Freakless Bucks team. The worst news of it: James Harden has a broken right thumb, but is just listed as “questionable.” They’ll likely be managing this injury till the playoffs. Spida (groin), Evan Mobley (calf management), and Max Strus will be joing James. As I called it last night, we’ll get get a whole new rotation tonight.
Taurean Prince will likely be out for the season, and Giannis is on the mend, so the Bucks are going to be an interesting challenge. I think the Cavs are up for it.
REALLY RAOUL—- WHY “ CURSE “ THE YOUNG MAN ( SARCASM) EVIDENTLY A VERY ATHLETIC FAMILY
interesting that Jaylon Tyson’s younger brother Jordyn is a top WR in this year’s NFL draft, a possibility at #6 for the Browns. historically, a large fraction of top WR’s turn out to be head cases and a can of trouble, something you obviously want to avoid. Given that Jaylon is exceptionally hardworking, zero trouble, and has way exceeded expectations for the Cavs, I would move Jordyn’s draft rank way up.
MINNIX 18/ 9 AT HALFTIME—-4/5 FROM 3 ——- A TALLER VERSION OF SAM HEADING OUR WAY 👍🏀💪
Looks like Proctor will get some run one way or another, which I support. What is it with finger, thumb and toe injuries this year?
SO WITH ALL THOSE PLAYERS OUT——TOMORROW s GAME IS NOT A “ LITMUS— BAROMETER “ CHECK AT ALL
It’s a bummer not to see how the new guys will look against Detroit or Boston and it might matter in terms of seeding.
But shouldn’t be a huge deal. Honestly if the playoffs started today I’d be better with a route to the Finals that starts at 4 with Raps / Pistons / Celtics (Knicks) than 3 with Philly / (Celtics) (Knicks) / Pistons.
But all outcomes are still very much in play, including another winning streak.

Yeah. Follow what your doc says but if they say they want you up and around right away, do it. And don’t skimp on the pain meds if you need em. About ten years ago, I had a bone spur the size of a nickel on my elbow from decades of street football and diving for loose balls. I had to have the ulnar nerve moved aside and the spur ground off. I tried to skip a round of pain meds third day of recovery and holy shit that was a bad idea.
Who’s doing it?

What are u getting done?
Make sure you do your rehab brother and you’ll be OK!! Godspeed!!
ABSOLUTELY — people who don’t do the PT never recover, and I know that ain’t you!
my girlfriend’s mother was one of those “I can only do the exercises when nobody is watching” people. everyone in the medical profession knows the type, and they never recover.
yeah, I got two, five and a half weeks apart, about 14 years ago — the world famous Dr. Adolf Lombardi (you better be good if your name is Adolf). by 5 1/2 weeks you got to be able to walk one legged on the first one, so no wasting time. pain is a major issue the first couple days. you want to get off opioids as quickly as possible, not least because of what they do to you digestive system. OTOH, us ex-jocks are notorious for not taking enough pain meds (still think we can “play thru it”). discuss… Read more »
Every word. Bang on.
What kind of surgery, NOMAD?
2 knee ops (same knee), 2011, 2015 trying to stay on the marathon circuit. I learned that I never want to have another op if I can avoid it. For notes on pain meds / recovery, see Raoul’s post. I would add – if you take opioids, drink a shitload of water. I ended up almost hospitalised with constipation.
Miralax is your friend.
JA NEEDED MORE TOUCHES———- WHERE WAS WADE ——- LOOK s LIKE NYQUIL MIGHT BE REGRESSING —-THIS IS A SURE WIN IF WE HAVE OUR STARTER s —— WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW WINS OR HEALTH———- NBA IS MORE THAN “ MISS /MAKE “ LEAGUE——— ALSO ABOUT “ HEALTH- INJURIES “ LEAGUE

Poor pup 😭
JA’s a good interview
Quite the scene immediately after the game – Bucks players commiserating with him about his shot not counting. Don’t think I’ve seen that before.
Agree with Kenny, piss poor defense, Bucks were 17-19 at the rim, running a layup line to the basket all night
guards did jack shit for most the game on the perimeter staying in front of the ball, zero rim defense from JA/Bryant/Wade and also playing small most of the game.
Almost. But you guys were right. Too much Schröder hero ball at the end.
Nah. He was fine and got wherever he wanted. The no-calls were rough and the missed FTs killer.
A lot of interesting stuff here. Should be fun to see what we can do against Detroit.
Damn
OH MY GOD
Took way too long to get it to Allen.Wouldn’t surprise me if this isn’t allowed.
Hoo boy
Umlaut!
Maybe, just maybe, is going to win this
Nice fightback. 2 straight stops.
Big freebies. Tyson
Dennis flopped
