2023-24 Season | Game #42 | Cavs @ Bucks | Jan. 24, 2024 | 8:00 p.m.

[2 For The Brew]

From a humanitarian standpoint it’s probably best that we lost because some of the local vultures were beginning to starve and I’d hate to see that happen.

What are we going to do about the backup big situation while Tristan is out?

This has been a problem for almost three years now. They need to get a stretch big that can play both PF and C. I'm hoping they go out and get one at the trade deadline. Tired of Mobley or JA going down and being stuck with Wade and scraps.

Think Toronto has just a little bit better nightlife than Milwaukee, but I’m an old fart so I have no firsthand knowledge of this.

MKE's night life consists of mostly getting blackout drunk on Water Street.

That's about it.

TOR is an actual world class city.

I'm honestly not too discouraged by this loss. We're not far away. It's gonna be a VERY different look if we played this team in the playoffs. Mobley always plays very, very well against the Bucks.

And he did gain 7 lbs over the summer and even went to Dicks and bought some weights.

I’ve heard TOR has maybe the best strip clubs in North America but again I wouldn’t know.

Our Toronto plant manager was with some other employees and customers at a Toronto strip club (which he hated but it was a business necessity) and he needed cash so he ran his card through the ATM at the club. Sadly for him it dispensed “Pink Dollars” usable only at the club so he was out the money.

Milwuakee’s nightlife hasn’t been the same since they locked up Jeffrey Dahmer

 

[CavzAddict]

I've been predicting that CPJ's minutes would disappear the first time our other guys were available.

Same, unfortunately.

Why does Mitchell continually shit his pants in meaningful games? He's being guarded by one of the worst defensive backcourt in the league.

Gotta turn brain dead Levert & Wade into someone is isn't scared of big games.

This game was meaningful for the Bucks after we embarrassed them so bad on our court. But why is this game so meaningful to the Cavs?You think they can maintain high intensity every night, even after losing a veteran motivator like TT?

Mitchell had a cold, off shooting night. It happens to every NBA player. Middleton was on him a lot tonight. He doesn't do as well against length. They had more size and length tonight, and they were motivated to play hard. They were out on top of our shooters and JA had a rough night also even though he got his dub-dub again.

I'm disappointed but I honestly expected a night like this sooner rather than later, and tonight makes sense to me. We did play like shit and not to what we've come to expect. Yet we were within 6 points towards the end, in spite of all the doom and gloom.

I think Friday's going to be tough as hell too. I just hope the body language is better and I hope shots are dropping better than they were tonight. That will be more of a test, to see if they can bounce back.

Box Score watchers (national media) and some various idiots will see this game score and come to the conclusion and be like Cleveland played a good team and look what happens...so annoying.

Fuck those people, who gives a fuck what they think? I'd rather be underestimated come playoff time.

You’re right about Mitchell…. so he plays 39 minutes. Smh

 

[buzzdog]

Why does the other team always take the last shot when we are winning in garbage time and yet when we are losing we just dribble it out?

It might have something to do with that 40 point ass-whupping we laid on them the other night?

 

[buzzdog]

Hopefully our players don’t have too wild of a night tomorrow in Milwaukee like they did in Toronto

I hope they don't bowl too hard or something.

What are we going to do about the backup big situation while Tristan is out?

It looks like we saw it tonight. Jones looked better than I expected him to look and he gave JA some decent rest. Otherwise mix and match with Wade and Niang.

 

[Pierre Pan]

I was actually encouraged by Damian Jones’ play tonight, especially in the first half; he looked playable and did a decent job of guarding Giannis, too. Is he the answer to being TT’s backup? Who knows but we’re allowed to sign someone in TT’s absence and Evan is getting closer to his return .

In other news, CPJ should‘ve gotten some run tonight; we had a few guys in foul trouble, we had a few guys that couldn’t shoot worth a damn and he could have provided some energy, some defense, some scoring, etc

I care enough to make a comment on this... I find it very annoying...
