Live Thread: Cavs vs. Bucks
2018-12-14The Bucks return to the Q after whooping the Cavs in Milwaukee just a few days ago. This time, they will probably not be resting Giannis, so victory will be an even taller order for Cleveland.
The Cavs are coming off a fun win over the Knicks while the Bucks got beat by 16 in Indianapolis, Wedenesday.
For Cleveland, Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, and John Henson all remain out. Let’s hope Matty D gets some revenge on his former squad, and Giannis doesn’t get too mad about losing wednesday.
Argh. That turnover.

Oh my!! LoL
Sexton is getting punked by Bledsoe. Put Burks or Clarkson on him. Let Sexton guard Connaughton (or however you spell it).
The fight from the Cavs has been incredible.
Have cavs been this close since the opening minute?
Uh no. Do wn as. Much as 16 I think.
Down 6. We in it.
If Delly, Clarkson, Hood, and Nance can play the rest of the game (+ Nwaba or Burks or Bgame) we have a shot.
Damn. Clarkson cuts it to six.. Delly/Nance/Clarkson are awesome together.
Nwaba with some nice aggression.
Blossomgame at C. Trouble on the glass.
LNJ back.
Delly trey!
Cavs not closing quarters well.
Knicks came from WAAAAY back again tonight in Charlotte. In OT and had a shot to win at the buzzer.
Last 2 min of each quarter killing us.
Just owned under the basket. Giannis is a monster.
We blow a ton of fast breaks. Burks should have shot that.
We ballin’ now. LNJ leading the charge.
Delly, JC, Burks, & LNJ play pretty well together.
What a run! Damn. I love this squad.
Larrrrrrrrry!
LNJ triple! Our best 3PT shooter!
LNJ is really becoming something.
Fred is loopy. Cant tell Bledsoe from Connaughton.
Like that YB drive on Giannis.
Hood having a nice night shooting.
Decent fight. But just outgunned.
Cedi with a BRICK.
Gianni in the lane for ten seconds with an o board and dunk. Someone needs to elbow him.
That foul was huge down to 8
NBA refs are consistently awful.
Deep Frye! Good to see Channing hit one.
That is not flagrant.
That’s the problem with the NBA now. Not enough hard fouls.
They saw the result and assumed he threw him. But he didn’t. Like the Delly play where they claimed he pulled the guy into him b/c he touched his hips.
MJ would be averaging 45+.
Doc 35
Nice foul, Channing.
Sexton is not even close on so many shots.
Hood triple!
LNJ starts for Burks. Sexton gets one!
OK GRANDKIDS TAKING A “T.O.” / ACTUALLY IN ” PENALTY BOX “——-LOOKED AT BOX SCORE / READ YOUR POSTS —-MAN SEXTON PLAYING LIKE A ROOKIE —CEDI STILL IN HIS FUNK—-AND STILL NO ANTE —–“FREE -ZZ ” ——STARTERS HAVE ZERO ASSISTS / A.C. HAS TO BE LIVID : ( ———WILL JOIN IN LATER –TIME TO GO BE THE ‘HUMAN TRAMPOLINE ” —-GO CAVS !!!
Oof. Decent fight. Too many TOs. Not enogh made shots. Outgunned.
Big ragu outplaying youngbull. Somewhere Ben Werth is nodding.
Hanging around on that 9 pt deficit. Kinds feels like that’s as close as Cavs will get tonight without spreading the offensive contributions more.
Crap call there.
Sexton blows a layup.
And then Sexton misses a contested layup by 2 feet. He and Cedi are just terrible around the rim. At least he used the glass.
Burks is kind of garbage.
Cedi, why?
Attack Thon Maker early in the shot clock was not a good decision. Was aggressive at least.
JC caught some Delly-fever
It is demonstrably infectious
Some nice fight here.
Glad Delly did not get hurt ir smash Fred.
Fred giving up his body on that play :)
Great steal, JC! Be the fight or something.
Delly in fredvs lap on the save!
Cavs still fighting!
Giannis is otherwordly.
Burks lucky to score, Bucks D was swarming
LNJ !
Nice drive, JC
Verrrry slick!
Nwaba immediately changes the atmosphere. Looking forward to him healing up and starting again. Also digging him and Delly together. Team gritty.
Our reserves are better than our starters. Straight up.
Sexton, Burks, Hood, Cedi, Frye
Vs
Delly, Clarkson, Nwaba, Jones/Bgame, LNJ.
Delly, and LNJ are all clearly better. I would take Clarkson’s better O over Burk’s better D, narrowly. Ditto Hood over Nwaba. Cedi over the 2 ways, nut not by a ton.
Plus, 4/5 of the reserves are plus reserves. While I do not think any of our starters are starter quality.
Yes, think Drew will be adjusting lineups soon.
That was rough. Cavs couldn’t fw a call at the end.
Honestly lucky to be down just 8
Some good 2nd unit D keeping us in it.
Delly needs to either shoot that floater more or Nash that. Stop forcing the lob.
Great D Cavs
Yikes. Slow down, Cavs.
Delly Trey!
WOW JUST TUNED IN—-READ THE POSTS —-GOING BACK TO THE GRANDKIDS : )
Come back Nomad, Delly is on.
This is gonna be ugly.
Sexton’s refusal to use the glass drives me nuts. 2 possessions in a row.
If I was coaching, that is near benchable.
Man. This is brutal.
At Harmons in Canton. Sixers/pacers on next to cavs. Good double features
May the four-leaf clover bring the Cavs some luck!
No Middleton
Gooooooo Cavs
