I won't argue with you and you are really not getting what ball movement is, his passes were all PnR late clock situations where he held the ball for 18 seconds..
anyways Lebron fantasy owners are gonna be happy with those 10 points from the FT

I understand what ball movement is, you're just wrong if you think all his passes were late clock situations. He pushed the ball to Kyrie in transition multiple times and made an effort to get Love the ball in the first half, he didn't just hold the ball for entire possessions.

Can't believe how spoiled some posters are with LeBron's play, he was already being blamed for us losing this game before we even lost the game.
 
I think Milwaukee has a good balance of vets and rookies. solid team
 
That last minute absolutely wrecked our Defensive Rating lol

Good things:

James didn't play well for his standards and we still won for the first time this year. Honestly, even with our issues, if James plays up to his standards in the playoffs, we'll be a tough out. The offense is beginning to find its rhythm. And I'm sure it's an ego thing, but Kyrie has to take those FTs at the end.

Love was dominant in the first and is finding his place in the offense. He had some weird turnovers, but otherwise, his offensive game looks to be really coming along.

MillerTime. If he plays, he has to play with LeBron on the floor because good things happen when he does. Great minutes.

Best of all, the fight back and the defensive tightening. For once we didn't fold after the opposition's big run. From the 3 minute mark of the first through the first 5 minutes of the third, we gave up 62 points in 18 minutes (equivalent of an 82 point half), but then tightened up the D once we realized the fucking Bucks were going to blow us the fuck out of the Q, allowing 11 points over the next 12 minutes.

Not a very good game with all the turnovers and meh rebounding and shitty defense at times, but good to get a win.

I have a bad feeling about this one. I see their length and speed giving us trouble...they are a top 10 defense. We are going to have a difficult time getting to the rack. Knight, Antekumopocoumpo, Parker, Henson and Sanders may combine for 20 blocked shots and steals. I see a lot of easy transition baskets for the Bucks.
Trap game.

Bucks win...book it!

Nailed it!
 
god damn this was a difficult game to watch. We sucked for most of it and even when we were winning the pace was slowed down to 'fuck my life'.

Mike miller.. awesome. Guys, hold back until you see the dude play consistently well before we go on another nuthug-athon.

Bucks are good. Jesus. Better than Washington.

I like that we push the pace first and foremost, but they were beating us at our own game. We were not playing efficiently at that pace and MIL was. Tonight was an example of pushing unecessarily sometimes getting us into trouble. Now we need to know when it just isnt going to benefit us and to slow it down, situationally.

Kevin Love getting more of those hail mary's picked off.

Getting decimated on offensive boards, sooo many second posessions.

That said, glad we had a game where we had to grind it out rather than rely on a big early lead. Now we can win TWO ways :)Still building cofidence.

Kyrie is the numbawunstunna

Blatt is also the numbawunstunna.

Love starting to beast.

Unfortunate situation for Dion.
 
These game threads are hilarious: it's like there is one team on the court and it is the Cavs.

Kidd has his guys ready for the game. Played Lebron just like Dallas and SA do: put a decent one on one defender and and rim protector around him with the perimeter defenders crashing downlow off the corner 3 spot. I think particularly in the second quarter Lebron was simply was sloppy with the ball (he's going to have to clean this up as he moves more full time to the PG spot) and the FT shooting was awful. So he didn't have a good game by his standards and some of that was on him but a lot of credit also goes to the Bucks
 
My main man Miller killed it, they looked sluggish and just out of sync after the first and they put him in and he gets you 6 points and 7 boards and his hustle fueled the entire team. He hit that 3 and it got everyone fired up and then he did what he does best, hustled. Got a nice block on a super long young guy and just played with intensity out there. I would give the game ball to him, seriously.

Love was offensively stellar as well. 27 and 10 and while most in the first quarter, it was good to see him get into a good rhythm to start the contest.

My love for Miller getting some burn is clouding the fact that they were put on their heels by the Bucks, but not every game is pretty and you have to learn to win anyway you can get it.
 
Bucks are a decent team - I was impressed by their ball movement and effort. Even at the end of the game they kept fighting. Kudos to them.

I got the sense this whole game our team felt they could just flip the switch and win this game. It's like we get some wins and the cockiness level on this team screams upward.

NYK game will be interesting if they don't come to play. Teams get up for us.
 
Just finished watching the game, that was a fun one. Seattle is going to have themselves a really good team in a few years. :chuckle:
 
Looking at the box score... two things stand out... 7 turnovers each from Love and LBJ, and Blatt really shortened the bench. He basically went with a 7 man rotation (tho if you combine Harris and Dion's minutes = about 15 minutes, so I guess it's like an 8 man rotation).

He really has to get a handle on this. Lebron had almost as many minutes as some of the Dallas starters who played a 2 OT game! It should help with Delly coming back... but the bench has been so up and down a solid rotation is a real stretch some games.
