Cavs want no part of the Bucks in the Playoffs...

[Prime_Shaq]

Bucks would probably give anybody trouble in the East EXCEPT for the Cavs

[Milbuck]

the problem is that they have no star. They have nobody to go to in the clutch and unless you're pop and the non superstar ball will only take you so far

east have some good teams but don't have any stars who can create their own shot when the game slows down and half court play is more important.

Cavs had at least three people (4 if you include Williams) who can create their own shot at any give time. And two of those people are elite in this aspect with regards to Kyrie and Lebron

Maybe they will prove me wrong but I doubt so

Eh it's a just a matter of time with that imo.

We have at least 3 guys who can create a shot out of nothing whenever. Monroe can do it from the low post both as a scorer and passer, Middleton can do it off the ball or with a couple dribbles a la Beal, and Jabari has everything but is just so damn young. Giannis can create shots but he's always been a Pippen-type prospect, is much more of a do-it-all guy than a scorer.

The problem is Monroe is still building chemistry with the guys, Middleton is in his typical early season shooting slump, and Jabari is a half-rookie coming off his injury. It's going to take a few months but we do have guys with the talent to be legit shot creators.

Going back to Jabari though, honestly I think when he's healthy and shakes the rust off, he could easily put up 18-20 ppg on a terrible team like Wiggins did last year. He has EVERYTHING. Just need to let him grow and get him the ball more.

Bucks were the toughest team Cavs played this year. FACT

You're joking, right?

Hawks: Teague, Hordford
Heat: Wade, Bosh
Bulls: Rose, Butler, Pau
Raptors: Lowry, Derozan, Jonas
Pacers: Paul George, George Hill, Ellis
Pistons: Jackson, Monroe
Celtics: Thomas
Wizards: Beal, Wall
Knicks: Melo, Godzingis

Most east teams have solid players that can finish. They may not be the biggest names, but they're at least stars.

The fact that this thread was made 2 weeks before thanksgiving about a team who was knocked out of the first round of the playoffs last season makes it a major fail

There are early signs of this Bucks team showing mismathces that they can certainly exploit the Cavs by the end of the year.


There were stretches in the game where Cavs looked outmatched.

[Lebronxrings]

op is a 40 year old lose whos melting down cuz his team sucks.

Cavs had no answer for Jabari.


when he puts the ball on the floor in motion from a pass or quick step he is mearly impossible to stop.


Such a smooth player.

[poido123]

1. Cavs were on the 2nd night of a back to back
2. Cavs are still missing 40% of their starting lineup

Lebron looked old and slow.


should probably retire.

The Heat are the only team that have a chance of beating the Cavs out east and that's only if Wade and Bosh get incredibly hot. Melo would be dangerous if he was on a good team but he's not.

His combination of power/explosiveness and fluidity/skill at 6'8-9" 255 is pretty crazy. Unique talent for sure.

He had a Dirk fadeaway and a crazy reverse layup through a defender in that game too. People have been sleeping on him as a prospect but I'm telling you in 3-4 years this guy will be competing for scoring titles.

-Bucks played their best ball of the year
-Cavs were on a back to back
-Cavs didn't have Kyrie/Shumpert
-It took two overtimes at home

Sorry, but the Cavs would own them in a playoff series. I think the Bucks would have a chance at knocking out the Bulls though

Bucks can play even better than this. They missed a ton of easy shots around the basket, Parker causes all sorts of problems for the Cavs.


Kyrie has stated he won't be driving to the hole as often anymore. Not a good sign of how his body is holding up. But sure, he will add something.


LOL at shumpert. Most overrated player in the league. He is hot garbage.


Bucks have a lot more upside. Cavs do too, but I think there's more improvement in the bucks by the playoffs.

I would offer you a perma ban bet, but we all know you wouldn't live up to it

Nobody really has a chance against Cleveland in the East. Maybe the Bulls or Heat. Miami has the most potential if everyone is healthy and clicking. But I still doubt it. Cleveland is pretty much a lock to make the Finals.
