Yep, the Cavs did a heck of a job hanging there, but can't grab a rebound down the stretch to save their lives.

GG. Still can't believe that's the league bottom defense. They are way better than that.


Who knew trying could actually lead to playing better defense? Haha

All these people act like you don't need bigs cause they want to be like the Warriors and have everyone shooting the 3.

Problem is your not the Warriors and teams like Milwaukee and Cleveland are visibly suffering without having a good actual center.

I feel like OKC is going to win this game by 75

Our first quarter defense against you guys was a way better reflection of how we've played on that end this entire season.

Also Green for some reason realized he has the tools to be a great defender today for once in his life.

Same in Michigan... First time a TNT game has ever been blacked out for me. Really strange to put it on the national TV schedule and then black it out like that.

It's very apparent watching them...they play consistently well against good teams. This was probably the best defensive performance of the year and I don't think it's a coincidence that it came against the best defense and on national tv.

It makes watching the regular season horrible as a Cavs fan though.

More like Fear the Whistle when you're playing the Rockets.

Because free throws should be distributed evenly?

The way I understand it, is only NBA TV and league pass games should be blacked out if it's a local market restriction.

Covington has had 3 four-point play opportunities in the first half. He's converted on 2 of them. :lol:

16 points in only 9 minutes, on 7 shots.

Giannis gets a call every time he drives to the hoop. What are you talking about.

Nice way of seeing it. Totally ignoring that Giannis was in foul trouble and 2-3 of them were non existent.

You also somehow forget that cavs had 38 fts vs 16 for the Bucks. 31 foul calls against the Bucks....


I know it sucks to lose when things dont go your way but please remember that next time you or any of your fans call out other fans for calling out bad reffing.

Really? That's absurd. This is the first time I've had a TNT game blacked out, but I assumed it was because the game is on Fox Sports Oklahoma in my area.
