Game 32: Bucks at Cavs - 12/29/23 - 6:30 - BSWI 

Post#1 » by MickeyDavis » Thu Dec 28, 2023 8:11 pm

First meeting this season with the Cavs, last played them in January.

Mitchell is questionable with an illness. He's missed the last 4 games but participated in the shootaround yesterday although he didn't play last night. Cavs are 3-1 while he's been out.

Bucks initial injury report will be out later today. Two days off after this, hopefully everyone is good to go.

Go Bucks.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

After we lost to the Pacers in the IST I posted "We are going 9-1 in our next 10 games" and "we are going to win the NBA Championship this season."

Need this win to fulfil this prophecy. Must win!

First injury report lists Giannis as probable.

Got a feeling they keep listing Giannis on the reports so if they do want to load managing him here or there, it looks more legit.

Obviously, Garland, Rubio and Mobley are out. Mitchell is listed as questionable, as is Sam Merrill.

Mitchell plays he goes for 40+ Bucks win by 7 close game.

Mitchell doesn't play still a close game until 3rd/4th Bucks win by double digits and Grief leaves the starters in way too long.

Hopefully these Milwaukee Bucks don't show up with a cavalier attitude towards transition defense.

We at Chonestown HQ remain staunch supporters of Whiter Donte aka Johnny Utah aka Fiyo on the Cuyahoga.

He better play, a group of us with a few kids are driving 4 hours to CLE to see them play. He looked perfectly fine against Brooklyn, though, and only played 30 minutes. I'm sure he'll be in there.

Pumped to see our boys play. I'm actually sitting near the visitor's tunnel and bench, anyone want me to pass a message to Griff?

Guard the 3pt line not in front of it... Help off Jrue every time (put Brook on him), force him to beat us when we play Boston.

Mitchell is gonna get to the hoop at will and get so many layups over Lopez. How many alley oops are they going to throw to Allen tonight? Bucks never win in Cleveland.

I don't see how you can say Greif leaves the starters in way to long. As soon as he takes them out, a 20 point Bucks lead evaporates in a couple minutes almost every time. Our bench kind of sucks.

You know they won't except for part of the 4th quarter.
