Keys to the Game

* Larry Hughes needs to be more productive offensively. He has been streaky as of late, and it is important for him to be able to get into an offensive groove. With out LeBron James out there, we are going to need Larry to come out and earn that paycheck.

* Continue to push Mike Wilks and see what he is made of. Give the kid more minutes to see what he can produce. He has done a solid job last night vs the Sixers.

* Test the rookie, Andrew Bogut. The Cavaliers can establish the game early by attacking the paint.


Overview : Isn't it amazing how much improved this roster is? Even with out LeBron James, the Cavaliers are still pretty good offensively. The additions of Damon Jones and Donyell Marshall has made it easier for the Cavaliers to keep the scores tight and not fall into a big drought like we have done many times last season.

The game is obviously winnable. The Milwaukee Bucks aren't a very great defensive team, if we establish the paint early and not fall into double digit margines, the Cavaliers should pick up their 3rd win of the preseason.

Re: Cleveland @ Milwaukee - Pre Season

I'm going to the game and I'll be taking notes on both teams. If today is indeed "sweetest day" as my wife says it is, I won't be able to post a recap until tomorrow more than likely. We're going to a bar and grill before hand and then across the street to the game. Now isn't that "sweet"! :D
 
Re: Cleveland @ Milwaukee - Pre Season

Try to remember taking your wife home after the game... Don't get so over joyed that you forget her at the BC..
 
Re: Cleveland @ Milwaukee - Pre Season

I feeling pretty good because I didn't get any attitude from this notorius sports hater. She's actually game for me taking her to the game. I hope she doesn't realize what my selfish intentions are. :chuckles:

You know honey, I haven't taken you downtown in awhile. I hear the grill is pretty hot a Major Goulsby's. How about we go down there and have a drink or two (this is wild for us because we only drink on occasions). I think there's a game across the street...you know they say the Bucks may win the championship this year (wink wink) and that phenomenal basketball player Lebron James from the sprite commersials is going to be in town (not playing). They say this guy is better than Michael Jordan (a player she would watch). We may be able to do a little window shopping downtown before hand ( :tongue: ...just game, TJ's cheap). Yeah they have some nice boutiques around the Bradley center.

Done Deal!

That's how you get it done you newlyweds and single rookies.

Window shopper EH ;)

You sure know how to WOO the ladies....My wife would slap the hell out of me.. :chuckles: SERIOUSLY :(

I won't be going to you for advice... :chuckles:
 
Re: Cleveland @ Milwaukee - Pre Season

Wow TJ, I didnt know you were a ladies man! You got good seats? Pay special attention to the Bogut Z matchup. Ah yes its here, the first Cavs Bucks matchup! The first step towards the certainty of a 5-0 Cavs/Bucks sweep! Even without LeBron, the Bucks will fall. I predict Hughes will score 20, Z with 15, and Redd will be limited to 10. Cavs win by 15! All of this without LeBron! Its only gonna get worse after this one TJ. In the regular season, with starters logging heavy minutes, and The King back to full force, its not gonna be pretty for Bucks fans. You should probably just not watch the reg season Cavs/Bucks games. You may have to check into the Psych Ward again.....
 
Re: Cleveland @ Milwaukee - Pre Season

19 to 8 lead... Combination of the Cavs playing very agressive and the Bucks playing kind of sloppy
 
Re: Cleveland @ Milwaukee - Pre Season

Damon Jones with five assists early.

Z and Hughes leading the way with 8 and 7 points.
 
Re: Cleveland @ Milwaukee - Pre Season

Marshall has been coming in quite a bit for Z and playing center with Gooden on the court.
 
Re: Cleveland @ Milwaukee - Pre Season

Here is a typical substitution pattern for the Cavaliers....

After about 7 minutes, Marshall and Snow come in for Z and Jones.

After about 3 more minutes, Henderson comes in for Gooden.

So usually in the first quarter, we get a solid 3 or 4 minutes of Marshall and Gooden on the floor at the same time as the big men.
