GAME 60 | Cavs vs. Bucks | March 4, 2009 | 7 PM

[Josh Criiiiibbs]

I think we officially clinch a play-off spot with a victory tonight.

You are correct. I wonder how much, if it all, they will celebrate? I assume they will at least acknowledge it.

Give the ball to BIG Z. Watch him dominate

Give the ball to BIG Z. Watch him dominate

If big Z starts hitting those Kobe like fadeaways he does everynow and then, this game is over....I second that, Give Z the ball!

Games like this after a long tough road trip are the definition of trap. Cavs need be on their 1-2 tonight.

 

[TheBigLeBronski]

I said this in the last bucs game thread. This has the potential of being a trap game, or the potentional for being a statement game. We gotta beat this team early and often, they play hard. I am hoping for another 12 minutes of garbage time tonight.

Coach Wright is just being saved for the playoffs. Then he will be unleashed unto an unsuspecting league.

 

[burt07]

I can take it if Villanueva goes off tonight, he's pretty much their number one guy at this point. What I won't be able to stand is if freakin Francisco Elson is scoring double digits. I think he might be worse than Coach Wright.

 

[Redz West is Best]

goal tonight besides win obviously is not to turn the ball over. We have been doing it alot lately. We have been just grinding out victories rather than being efficient and dominant.

Two items:

AP report on Smith's official signing: (good news for Friday, hope he's at the game tonight)

Smith is not expected to be in uniform for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks but should be ready for Cleveland's game in Boston on Friday.

Nets @ Bucks last night, in the first game of the Bucks back-to-back set:

Sessions - 30 minutes
Jefferson - 43 minutes
Villanueva - 45 minutes

 

[cescott]

The "best shooter in the world" pulled a DNP - Coach's decision though so he should be well rested

 

[TJ_4_CV31]

The Bucks will be looking for redemption after blowing a home game to the Nets last night. I'd like to see M'Bah a Moute on James but Jefferson will probably get the nod.

Lebron will be Lebron but Ilgauskas will be my key from a Bucks perspective. Without Bogut, Z won't have to work very hard on defense or on the glass against Elson. Gadz will battle, but Z should be able to get money all night.

Keys to a Bucks victory willl be hot shooting from the "others": Bell, Gadz, Bogans, Ridnour. The Cavs will have their hands full with CV and Sessions.

To quote a Bucks fan, RJ stands for rotten jumper. He has to get to the hole and convert at least 10 free throws to give the Bucks a chance at winning this one.

Too close to call.

I saw Damon Jones this afternoon in Westlake at the Cheesecake factory in Crocker Park...

I thought the Bucks released him awhile ago ? :chuckles:

 

[3 Da Hard Way]

Didn't he return to the team after awhile? I'm not sure why though

I wouldn't mind Damon in the corner instead of boobie right now

 

[Sock]

Well Damon doesnt have anything else to do other than eating cheesecakes and warming the bench.
