I didn’t really like that, either. It’s a disgraceful way to play basketball.

LOL!!!!!! Oh You weren’t complaining when his flops got us offensive foul calls (admit it )

That kind of basketball hurts my heart.

I’ve seen a lot of basketball in my life, and I know how beautiful it can be.

What VAREJAO did was disrespectful to the game.

JBB disrespects the game by being so stupid and not coaching offense. And maybe he’s right - Garland disrespects the game by being sloppy. But Garland would make better decisions and execute better if he wasn’t coached by a complete numbnuts.

Bucks are 6-5 without Giannis, 23-11 when he plays.

Garland played 40 minutes last night and he will be defended by one of the best defenders in the league in Jrue Holiday, who has had three days off. Garland needs to let LeVert and others run the offense tonight and just spot up at the 3-point line most of the time, taking Jrue away from the action.

In their last game (without Giannis) the Bucks beat Toronto 130-122. Holiday was 16-for-26 and scored 37 points. Grayson Allen had 23 going 4-for-5 on 3's. As a team the Bucks hit 49% of their 3's, but they were at home and they are much better offensively in their own building.

As I said in the preview, the Bucks are the lowest scoring team in the NBA on the road and now they don't have their leading scorer. Under normal circumstances I would say the Cavs win this one, but with Mitchell out and having played last night it will definitely affect them. At least they will have Rubio and Wade, who they did not have last night.

I want to see an "angry" team tonight.

Angry and Cavaliers are not words that go together

I think the operative stat is our record with Garland and without Mitchell. That has to be a losing record.

Can't get the taste of yesterday game out of my mouth. I always thought this was scheduled lost but after yesterday I pretty sure these losers will get destroyed by the Bucks bench. Wonder which scrub will blow the fuck up tonight, how many wide open threes will they drain tonight and how many 5 second calls will we get. I'll probably watch the first half then switch to football

Okoro on Holiday. Two strong guards.

You'll get JBB being angry with the officials and you'll like it!!!

 

[Jscc]

So excited for this team to play slightly better than yesterday and show no substantial improvement.

DG with a steal and finish !

 

[Tlyons]

If we get destroyed by Lopez and Portis man...
