Nice comeback road win against a playoff team.
Wraps up an 11-2 month of December!
Go Bucks!!
Boy that had a playoff feel to it
Oh look Dame didnt miss a FT. I’ll say it again, that will win us playoff games.
2023-2024 Bucks: **FUCK THE 1ST HALF – 2ND HALF FOREVER**
December is a great month, ggs
I hope Cavs fans don’t hate us after that lol.
They had a lot of opportunities to win this game though
Nice win but fuck we got Indiana again for two games?
We were pretty bad overall tbh, if the Cavs didn’t shoot so poorly we would of had a really bad night
That’s a big balls win. Multiple times where they could have packed it in but they kept coming back and just outlasted down the stretch. Good stuff.
Why don’t our opponents always shoot 14% from 3?
How have we won that
Is Dame’s chest tattoo with the heart and equality sign a gay rights tattoo? As a gay Bucks fan I didn’t know if I could ever love a player more than Giannis until now
Tough game but loved the resilience we showed coming out of halftime. Feels like as questionable as the defense is at times, the offense is just soooo good that other teams have almost no margin for error. Also, man did the Cabs stink it up from 3 lol like almost rockets WCF bad
That pick and roll was lethal…. now im convinced they are saving it for the playoffs.
Luckily the Cavs are shooting very bad from 3 tonight, only 6 for 43 (14%), and they are still able to only trail 4 before they need to foul and send us to the ft line
2nd half stats
• Dame: 24 Points & 2 Assists
• Giannis: 20 Points & 10 Rebounds
• Khris: 9 Points & 5 Assists
Stats from [PivotFade.com](https://pivotfade.com/game/2911?quarter=22&team=away)
Bucks are giving up a slightly concerning amount of points in the paint but I mean for most of the game the perimeter defense was neat.
Then the 4th quarter happened and the issues of point of attack defender are blown wide open.
I don’t see how we guard the Celtics at all without a point of attack defender.
Offensively things are looking solid. Should only keep getting better but I’m not sure if NBA teams have won the chip on just pure scoring battles.
Doomers were feasting in the first half. Why are fans slandering Khris & Giannis so much in the game threads when those 2 are the heart & soul of this team? Pick another team if you hate those 2.
On another note, Bucks were doing pick & rolls, or running plays almost every possession in the first quarter. It was nice to see.
Look we closely beat a mid-tier team that shot 6-43 from 3 while missing two of their starters
Holy crap we only took 80 shots and scored almost 120… and Cleveland took 103 shots and scored 111 usually you don’t expect to win games when the other team takes 23 more FGs than you
14% 3pt shooting is not good
LFG
I’m pretty use to it by now but this game was another one of those that my mind can’t wrap around the fact that we have Damian Lillard
