Game 57: Cavaliers @ Bucks (2/26, 8pm on FSN-OH)

[L&H_05]

Like I said, I missed the 4th quarter, so I'm not sure if it's accurate.. Did Coach Brown sit LBJ for 6 minutes in the 4th ??

Again, what gives

[devwat12]

Rough.

Down 3 key players. The Bucks up 3 refs. Still had a shot to win if Mike Brown didn't lose his mind in the final 5 minutes. AV and Ben at the same time? Seriously? Even when we can't score for minutes at a time? This one is on you coach. A terrible job late.

Wally missed about 6 game winners in the 4th. Pressing.

Refs. I don't want to get started. 37-14 is all you need to know. Was a piss poor job by the stripes tonight.

[12 Point Buck]

The Bucks have arguably the dullest atmosphere in the league.. It rivals only the Hawks, Nets, Grizzlies and Clippers..

Kinna sounds like the Cavs board and their 15 fans

Thanks for trolling

[TheOUTLAW]

He sat him for a long time. But the Cavs should have had the game in hand.

[TheOUTLAW]

Brown actually complaining about the refereeing. I know that he's never ever done that before.

[Uncooked]

That was a surprising statement by Brown, never heard him mention refs like that.

Oh man, is that the kind of comedy I can find on the Bucks' board? I am switching my allegiance!


Please do not feed the trolls

Hey guys come on, we're cleveland fans, we automatically aren't allowed to complain about the refs.

Kinda sucks then having Lebron on your team so when we are mauled in the paint and get touch fouls left and right they dont matter cuz we have Lebron.

[TheOUTLAW]

I agree

The Cavs really don't argue with the refs or complain about the refs. It goes back to their "no excuses" mantra. To me, this really confirms my view that this game was absolutely ridiculus in it's one sidedness.

[L&H_05]

I can't rip on the Bucks fans... I've been interacting with those guys for years now... They're good peeps and passionate fans...

what did he say - I didn't listen to the post game.

[TheOUTLAW]

He was basically saying that he didn't understand how we could be outshot from the 3 point line 37-14 when we were going strong to the basket. It just didn't make sense to him and someone should explain it to him.

It was a soft complaint, but we never complain about calls

He basically questioned the refs calls, saying Bucks were jump shooting and we were driving yet there was the huge FT disparity. Usually he doesn't comment on such matters.

Doesnt help that you guys shot 11 more 3's .. anyway that's neither here nor there, i was just wondering how Joe Smith looked out there tonight.

[Benedict_Boozer]

This game kind of pissed me off

Certain guys on our team were playing very well = Devin Brown, DJ, Joe Smith, Lebron but everyone else sucked pretty bad

B. Wallace I think fits well next to Z but is a horrible fit with AV.

I knew we would lose though when we kept going up 7-8pts and the Bucks would immediately make a run and get right back in the game. We'll see what the new guys are made of with a bounce back game in Boston tomorrow

[TheOUTLAW]

I didn't think that AV and Wallace were that bad playing together, especially since Varejao could beat any of their bigs off the dribble and can make that little elbow jumb shot. It's not ideal, but I could see it for short stretches.

[B Mac]

First of all, that was a hell of a shot by Redd. Absolutely nothing you can do about that, especially since Wally was in his face.

Now, on to the refs... Seriously, what in God's name was going on out there? That was the most one sided game I have seen in the past few years, at least. This one is worse than the no call against Turkoglu in Orlando this year, or the Delonte West bail out for Boston last year, or the no call for Pavlovic in Utah last year. Both of our announcers complained about the refs big time, which happens occasionally, but definately not to the degree that they did tonight. Mike freaking Brown even complained about the refs... He has NEVER EVER done that. That's when you know its terrible. Absolute trash to watch a game like that. I can understand the free throw desperaty if we werent driving and they were, but that flat out wasnt the case. Hope the Cavs send a tape of this one in.

Aside from that... I give Redd and Williams credit for hitting everything they threw towards the basket tonight. Those two flat out couldnt miss. I wonder what Cav pissed in their Corn Flakes this morning.

Z was missed, badly.

Anderson looked about 3 steps slow still, even though he was active.

Wally couldnt hit anything from deep.

Damon is still simply on fire.

LeBron sat for waaaaay too long in the 4th.

Thats about all my thoughts for now.... Just so upset about the officials in this one.

[L&H_05]

Ben gave us 7 points and 11 boards.. I can't complain really with his play..

I actually really like our floor spacing and passing tonight..

It came down to the fact that Milwaukee was getting to the line and we weren't... If the calls were consistent, we would have probably gotten the Bucks by 8 or so..

No biggie... I want to see us compete with Boston tomorrow.. That's more of a barometer of where we're at.. I don't think we play Milwaukee anymore this season, and we know we're not seeing them in April, May or June..

[B Mac]

And just for the record. Redd travelled on the game winner as well. Go watch the replay if you dont believe me. I know they never call things like that, but it just was the capper on the refs night.

[GilArenas88]

I Cavs fan complaining about a game winning travel...
