Game #8 - Milwaukee Buck @ Cleveland Cavaliers Game Night Open Thread

Milwaukee Bucks at Cleveland Cavaliers, Nov 11, 2008 6:00 PM CST


08/2009 NBA Preseason

3-4
5-2
November 11th, 2008
Cleveland, OH
7:00 PM est
Radio - WTAM / TV - FSN HD
Probable starters:
Luke Ridnour PG Mo Williams
Charlie Bell SG Delonte West
Richard Jefferson SF LeBron James
Charlie Villanueva PF Ben Wallace
Andrew Bogut C Zydrunas Ilgauskas


The Cavs have won 4 straight, LeBron was the Player of the Week, and the Cavs are back at home against an inferior opponent.  Sure win, right?? 

This is another test of this Cavs team.  Last year, the Cavs would likely lose this game, with tough matchups against Denver and Utah to follow.  This Cavaliers team, however, hasn't played that way.  They have played tough all year, especially in the 4th quarter, "Winning Time", and have seemed to treat esch game with a sense of urgency.

Can the Cavaliers' winning ways continue??

Talk about the game here in the comments! They Auto-Refresh, bringing an awesome game night experience!

Cavs have a nice 9-point lead, but it could be 20. Cavs have started to take some bad shots….

I like the defensive energy. The Cavs seem to be getting it, that winning in the NBA is all about defense…

Delonte West is just a solid basketball player. How did this guy sit on the bench in Seattle of all places….?

Cavs have allowed Milwaukee to dictate the tempo, and the tempo of the game has ground to a halt…

Bucks are the more aggressive team right now, and because of that are getting the calls

Big 3 by LeBron there on the fast break. We can’t let this team hang around — without Redd that’s a pretty terrible lineup.

The best thing probably is to hit [Grady] 2nd -- Jay

It almost seems like the Cavs are toying with the Bucks…Trying different line ups….

An uninspiring first half, but the Cavs lead nonetheless.

Everything is a jumpshot for the Cavs, which is fine until they stop falling, like they are right now….

We need Boobie to start hitting some shots . . .

Boobie cannot hit a shot…..

Perhaps the Cavs will trade for Ridnour next year…
