PG Cavs: Bucks Run out of gas (in the first minute)

[MickeyDavis]

This should be a lively thread.

Crowder played more than expected

On to Detroit.

The look on Dame's face on the bench says it all. I think the players have to know grief isn't it, not to say they haven't tried to give grief the benefit of the doubt, but probably all that is left is doubt. Grief has to go

[Neuromancer56]

Houston, we have a problem.

[rilamann]

How the hell do you lose by 40 to the Cavs who were without 2 of their top 3 players.

Fire..... Nah I give up.

[mediocrityrules]

Jae Crowder the only reason i kept watching the game, to see how he looked.

[stellation]

Robin with more minutes/points than Thanasis. Interesting.

[Chad34]

Man, can't even fart stealthily anymore

[Magic Giannison]

What a **** ****

Hey, it was at least 41 points at one point there. Good effort to gut it out and cut the deficit. We won the fourth.

Heard some rumours that none of yours ever had true stealth. Always a giveaway. Something there.

Grief made adjustments!

I'd like to think there's a performance clause somewhere in his contract that was ticked off by it.

Probably every game this season win or lose we've come in here and said that something looked good, but damn our defense was bad. It's games like Utah and this one that shows just how bad that defense issue is.

We are a long way from being a championship contender with the personnel we have, running the defensive schemes that we do (or lack of schemes).

I said it in the game thread. We have one string to our bow, and it's offense. If that's a little off we will lose, because we cannot stop the opponent from scoring, no matter who they are. We can't lean on our defense to get us back into games. We just have to hope that our offense stays hot when it is.

[ReginaldDwight]

Giannis clearly is the MVP this team might be in the lotto without him.

[blazza18]

Only difference between this game and every other game we play is having no Giannis meant he couldn't make up for the early trash offense we were trying to run. Dame and Midds are both talented dudes who in the first quarter today looked like they'd never played basketball before.

Defence remains as awful as ever. I can't believe how easily this team can be scored on. Truly embarrassing.

[chonestown]

This whole year was about finding out if Love could play. The biggest question has been answered.

I'll fully admit to Griff proving me wrong tonight. Just when I thought the defense couldn't possibly get any worse, Griff says "Hold my beer" and goes to the zone. It's humbling.
