Live Thread: Cavs @ Bucks

Happy Saturday, Cavs fans! Your 6-0 Cavaliers continue their road show in Milwaukee tonight, on the back half of a b2b against the struggling Bucks. Milwaukee has started the season 1-4 and have only held one team under 115 points in that stretch, when they won their opener 125-109 over the similarly struggling Sixers. Milwaukee surely considers this a barometer, with Cleveland resting some folks, and the Bucks trying to get back to the winning ways of previous seasons.

I’m drunk on Hatorade with our predictions of the Haslams being a wrecking ball for the Bucks while Cleveland has started out as the hottest team in the association and looks incredibly deep, especially at the guard spots. Cleveland will be without one of their early season stars, as they’ve given Caris LeVert the night off to rest his knee. Jaylon Tyson is also out with a hip injury, while Max Strus remains sidelined with an ankle injury. For the Bucks, Khris Middleton remains out so far this year.

We’ll see if Cleveland can keep up its winning ways. I was especially impressed with the way the Cavs absorbed the runs from Orlando last night, but never let the lead dip below three possessions – holding serve when they needed to. They’ll have to do more of the same tonight, as I’m sure Giannis and Co. are hungry for a win. Go Cavs!
