We won. Only 64 paint points allowed. #Khrisbestpasserontheteamcult

Bubble season Wes would be massive for this team right now. The lack of any credible POA defender is so brutal, just compounds the scheme issues on that end. Have no idea how but we need some package of Bobby/Pat/MarJon/Portland 2nd to net us a playoff starting caliber 2 guard before the deadline.

I've complained about Brook less lately than usual, but he had a very lethargic road trip.

Only 41 days until the trade deadline. Not sure what we can put together but I'd feel a lot better with a legit guy at any position. I know Crowder is out, but I'm not counting on him.

Cam has been pretty good this season with a few clunkers. But he was coming off a very good Nets game. I haven't seen anything about an injury so 5 minutes is odd. We rode the starters but 2 days off upcoming.

I like that Strus had so many shots, and that while Allen and Mitchell scored heavily, keeping Niang, Strus and Levert down means they were forced to do a lot more. I feel like our past D gives one of those guys a 15 point outing from deep.

Not really sure we did anything for those guys to do nothing from three today though.

Cam just gives me Teague vibes, maybe with a little extra level of caring. Guess we don't need much behind Dame but I wouldn't mind a little upgrade.

He had 3 terrible TOs in those 5 min and got banished to the shadow realm.

There are much worse backup PG's than Cam Payne. I'd just like to see them try Dre at the point in those situations where you have to pull him off the court.

Fun game to see live. When Bucks got those couple of favorable calls it was hilarious to hear the CLE fans react.

Allen killed Brook. Cam Payne had two dumb travels and was yanked immediately. Khris had a solid game playmaking, as did Freak who picked his spots beautifully. That right block spin and baseline dunk on Allen was a thing of beauty.

Dame was good in the fourth. He puts decent effort on defense, from what I noticed.

Nice road win.

Yes, an upgrade defensively. I like Cam offensively for a backup PG. He's the opposite of Jevon Carter. Niether fit in the playoffs.

We cleaned up the TO difference and only gave up 74 in final 3 quarters. Nice turnaround to a horrendous start, as usual. I'll take every win. If we play on point for 4Q teams can't beat us.

Allen was really on one. I don't know what the Bucks could have really done besides late doubles. Brook was contesting him but he was just shooting right over the top of him.

Griff clearly has lost control of this team. Have you seen Brook's neck hair?

If Brook doesn't get some more help defense, he's going to get a lot scored on him by just anchoring into the drop. I'm okay with him in the drop, as long as we have defensive wings/guards etc coming in to assist. That's the bit that's not happening.

Agree. Teams can no longer beat us with outlier games.

They missed loads of good looks though. I’d be interested to see their shot quality as it felt better than the average.

Cavs were 6 for 43 from three? Yowch. Did we defend well or did they just miss?

Khris had a few good possessions defensively pursuing the ball handler around the screen and bothering the play from behind. Nice to see.

Should have kept Jrue, and send BroLo to Boston.

I'm not sure you fully understand how that trade worked.
