Recap: Bucks 108, Cavs 101 (Or, DREW GOODEN GOT A TRIPLE DOUBLE ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME)
2011-04-09
Overview: Drew Gooden got a triple-double, and the Cavs are not going to win 20 games this season.
Freaking Drew Gooden bullets:
It’s been a season full of comic misery, but Drew Gooden recording a triple-double against this team may be single most bizarre and ridiculous indication that this team is not good and does not play defense. The Bucks scored 108 points on 50%/40% shooting and 31-10 AST/TO ratio, and their coach hates scoring.
The Cavs actually regressed to their early-season bad habits on defense — they didn’t defend the three-point line, and they were absolutely torched by a good wing scorer. Also, they came out flat and had to try and play catch-up, which is something they have done less frequently in the last part of the regular season.
Hickson had something of a regression game, but he did get his double-double, and you have to remember that Luc Richard Mbah a Moute is an absolute monster on defense.
Poor defense, slow start, no chance. In case you’re wondering, one other player has recorded a triple-double with at least 13 rebounds and assists while fouling out since the 1985-86 season. Try and guess who it was, then click the link for the answer.
Two games left to go.
Hey, Kyrie Irving declared for the draft. I would be more annoyed if we were winning games.
The scary part is, the score was still pretty close.
I had to laugh when I saw that Antoine Walker was 0-6 from three in that game.
Wow. I would NEVER have guessed who the other player was.
I notice [the other guy] shot 21.1% from the floor that game. Which brings up the question: what is the lowest shooting percentage ever for a triple-double player where points was one of the doubles?
Anyway… it’s almost over. Everyone keep their chin up and hope two things: 1) that the Cavs are better next year, and 2) that there IS a next year and it isn’t cancelled by a damn lockout.
