What a game! I have no complaints tonight. Great play across the board and a monster game from Niang

Yes but what does Futuredome think?

Just finished watching the game, recorded it. Anyways, that was a close one right?

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Almost tied with Andre Drummond. That’s elite company.

Well, that was fun. I'm glad Giannis decided to take only his second game of the year off against us.

Niang had a night he never came close to before and probably never will again. But it's nice to see him hitting all his shots, including the floaters. He's starting to find his game. Give him the medal thingy.

Middleton went 1-for-10 and was a -40 in 20 minutes. He kept trying to draw fouls but the refs weren't buying. There has to be real concern in Milwaukee about him.

All the Cavs starters were +33 to +37. Allen totally outplayed Lopez, scoring 21 points in 26 minutes against last year's DPOY runner-up. Allen's mid-range jump shots were falling and if he gets confidence in that shot - look out.

Okoro did a great job defensively on Dame, holding him to 7-for-20. As a team the Bucks shot 40% and were outrebounded 55-36. The Cavs had an incredible 36 assists and won the fast break battle 33-8. The Bucks looked very, very old tonight.

I'm sure the Bucks will remember this game a week from tonight when we play them in their house with Giannis on the floor. That will be a real test. In the meantime the roll continues as we've now won 11 of 14 and we have two days to get ready for the Hawks.

Georges having a career night while only missing one shot, yet is only a +4 in a 40-point blowout, is so Georges.

This is why +/- should be taken with a grain of salt on a per game basic. We have been up all game by a huge margin

They said Dame didn't score on Okoro at all. I think he got by him once though lol
