Game 27 | Bucks (13-13) @ Cavs (20-6) | December 21, 2016 | 7:00pm EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
this is the kyrie we need. The one who makes the open passes and get people good looks.

I want the ball out of Lebron hands.

He should be roaming the floor and on the block.
 
Spent my night watching championship clips and the postgames from Game 7, going through all my sports shit that I still haven't packed away after moving down here. Wish I could have watched this game. I miss watching the Cavs. Might have to bite the bullet and get league pass.
 
Had to DVR the game, just finished watching. Aside from being very sloppy with the ball at times, we played great. And the Bucks made two of their runs when we had very poor ball security.

You have to give the Bucks some credit, and their length causes some issues, but if we didn't turn the ball over as much, it would have been a blowout a lot sooner. They don't have a good half court offense. I'm not worried at all about them in the playoffs if we do meet because of that.
 
Great set of back-to-back wins! Way to re-assert our dominance over an up-and-coming team.

Lets kick some Net ass, and then lets kick some Warrior ass!
 
Continue to like Liggins and his impact on defense, ball handling, passing. And he plays under control.

But I'd like to see him be a bit more confident on offense. You have an open shot take it, on that lob from Kyrie you take that shit and slam it with force. He needs to use his athleticism on both ends of the court.
 
It is absolutely awesome to see Isiah Thomas obsess and fan-girl over Kyrie Irving. After the game, which was on NBAtv, Thomas just went on his 5 minute rant about how Irving has crazy ball handling skills and moves. If a legend of this game is beaming ear to ear while describing Ky's game, you know you have someone special.

Anyways, tonight's game was what I expected from last night. Cleveland looked motivated and put this team away in the 3rd and never looked back. 31 points and a career high 13 assists for Irving was a thing of beauty and while James was James, the glue guys continue to produce. Frye, Shumpert and Jefferson seem to all be in a flow and its much needed.

Also, side note, I loved that Griffin dropped Delly's ring, he better have offered to pay for it to be buffered...
 
Great game.. I had a problem again with Lue's rotations.
Cavs were up 16 after 3 consecutive 3pt shots by LBJ, then Lue takes out LBJ at the 5 min mark and the lead goes down to 5 at the half.
LBJ was so hot, you have to keep him in.
Lue comes in with fixed rotations, he never adjusts to the other team it seems and this team really has to learn how to play without LBJ.
Let's talk about the defensive assignments, why was Liggins on Snell and not on Giannis? RJ/LBJ should have been on Snell/Parker, Liggins was being wasted on that scrub Snell.

The other team is always confident it seems even when the Cavs are up big, they never give up because they know once LBJ is off the floor they are going to attempt a big run and that's what they do most often then not.

Kidd took out Giannis at the 6:30 mark in the 1st quarter to insert him when LBJ is off the floor and they made their run.
What happened to LBJs finishing at the rim? i'm not used to seeing him miss so many point blank shots. Weird as fuck.

Anyways, great game by Kyrie.. he needs to have the ball in his hands way more in the RS, he is much more dangerous that way and he is starting to pass extremely well.

And as for Lue, fix your rotations and make the team play better without LBJ.

Delly looks bad btw and Giannis gets some really iffy calls.
