Bucks/Cavs 2/26 

Post#1 » by MickeyDavis » Mon Feb 25, 2008 1:17 pm

The new look Cavs against the improving (?) Bucks. Always good to see Joe Smith back in town.

7:00 tipoff. This game is in HD.

Hey, remember when Joe Smith was a Buck? Good times. And then we traded him for a guy who can't even get on any team in the league right now.

Yeah...

Joe Smith in a Cadavers jersey is a travesty.

I look forward to Ben Wallace airballing some FTs.

Good Times

Well now is a good time to play them, with new players getting used to each other and lots of injuries on their team. Theoretically their weakness should be perimeter D, so we'll probably be chuckies; especially if Bogut gets in foul trouble. Hopefully Damon Jones doesn't beat us with his silly mohawk.

When Joe gets introduced you and Nowak better take those Patterson jerseys off, wave them around, and cheer like 2 ten-year-olds at a hannah Montana concert.

Hey Mickey,

Is there any chance this troll can have the _05 dropped from his name ?? If not, no worries...

Actually, I look forward to this game.. Not sure how much it's going to tell, but I'd like to gauge where we are in terms of defense with this new crew, and since the Bucks can fill it up, this could be a small barometer... Granted, we're still missing 3 key pieces that should play a huge role down the stretch, (AV might play) I actually like the situation now because it forces the new guys to play, and allows the fans of the team to see their strengths and weaknesses...

Kind of interesting looking at how the Cavs have won games this year.

They are 18-5 in games decided by 5 points or less, which is pretty outrageous. They have a negative scoring differential that projects to just a .466 win%, yet in the real world they've won .571 of their games. That makes them the second-luckiest team in the league behind New Jersey, though LBJ's league-leading clutch scoring might suggest otherwise. Still, historical data suggests even good teams don't maintain that sort of crazy winning percentage in close games over the longer term.

The Bucks have been lucky, too, with a .375 win% compared to only a .289 projected win%.
