4/8: Cleveland Cavaliers (50-27) @ Milwaukee Bucks (38-39) GT

[RedBlackAttack]

Cavs up 8 at half. Kyrie went off, scoring 14 points in the second quarter and he has 19 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds.

KLove having a nice game with 10/7 and LBJ with a solid 9/4/3.

Both teams have had trouble at times establishing a rhythm tonight. The game has been sort of herky-jerky.

[RedBlackAttack]

Oh, btw, a Cavs win tonight will wrap up the Central Division title.

Cavs should make it to the Finals without much resistance. It should be fun to watch

The damn Paterfamilias :applause:

[RedBlackAttack]

Very interested to see how Milwaukee looks next year with Parker in the fold. They have an interesting team. It feels like the kind of team that could break out with one really good, All-Star level player to rely on night-in and night-out.

Lots of length and talent.


The Cavs just clinched the Central Division title and the 2nd seed with the Bulls' loss. :rockon:

Milwaukee also just clinched a playoff berth, so congrats to their fans.

LeBron directing traffic and then hammering down the putback whoah :pimp:

edit: pretty dumb TO by MIL..could see Kidd shaking his head about it

Lebron changed his free throw form again. I like this one as it seems more controlled, but it will be short whenever he misses.

[Hey Yo]

I hope LeBron finally brings Cleveland a ring...

But my gut tells me the Spurs will beat them again if they meet in the finals.

:oldlol:

That thought crossed my mind as I watched this game. If Parker is a legitimate future star in this league, the Bucks really do have a bright future. Neither MCW nor Middleton are quite good enough to be first options on a really good team, but they could be good 2nd/3rd guys.

Then, they have the wildcard in Giannis although I still think he has a little ways to go to be a consistently really good player in this league. Bright side is, he's what? 20?

I don't foresee them taking a Hawks level jump next year, but they could be as good or better than, say, Toronto or Chicago. Their length creates problems for teams and Parker will only add to that.


This game also showed how the Cavs have grown this year. In the first half of the season, if they blew a 15-20 point lead in a matter of minutes, it was basically game over. Shoulders slumped, guys went into shells and it was a runaway the other direction. That happened many times the first 30 games or so.

In this game, they're playing a fellow playoff team (albeit in the EC), they blew a huge lead and came right back to gut it out. That's what they're probably going to have to do -- many times -- in the playoffs.

This team has grown quite a bit.


GG Bucks... hope to see you down the road.

[JebronLames]

LeBron is the GOAT at daggers

[RedBlackAttack]

I think they should sit Shump in the next game. He missed a few games in the last couple weeks and he's been visibly injured/limping at different points in the last two. Don't push your luck. This is a guy that has had some borderline catastrophic leg injuries in the past.

Love looks better to me, so keep playing him. Maybe sit Kyrie or LeBron in the next one and then the other in the game after.

[Milbuck]

Damn. Had to miss this game, had an exam. Looks like MCW played great. GOBB on suicide watch :lol

The fvck is up with Giannis not playing? Heard it was coach's decision, and might not have been rest...which makes me nervous.

Physics 202 by any chance?

[J Shuttlesworth]

I didn't get to watch the whole game, saw the end, and some of the first half.

How was Love? When I was watching, he was getting good looks inside, and seemed to be a more focal point of the offense than I remember seeing a couple months ago.
