“I’m not sitting up here saying it’s Armageddon or anything like that”, James said as the Cavs prepared to host the Milwaukee Bucks. I thought those guys came with a goal. Jared Cunningham handled the role Thursday and it should be interesting to see if that’s the path the Cavs go with this time around. You saw it in their approach.

Milwaukee Bucks head coach Jason Kidd yells from the bench against the Washington Wizards in the second quarter at Verizon Center. “It’s what they’re doing”. The Cavaliers swept the Hawks out of the playoffs and didn’t have any trouble with them Saturday despite being down to two healthy starters in LeBron James and Kevin Love. According to espn.com, James said after their loss to the Andre Drummond-led Detroit Pistons.
“I think we answered the call, what we talked about”, James said. “We’re just trying to get better”. Thabo Sefolosha will probably defend LeBron quite a bit, but it’s unclear who else Atlanta will use.
“We’re about business, ” Thompson told Fox Sports OH reporter Allie Clifton after the game. We have to continue to be gritty. Yesterday was definitely not a day off. It was day off from the court, but not from us preparing and still getting better.
After a few days of James publicly ripping his team’s play and an uncomfortable 45-minute film session Wednesday that exposed a lot of what the Cavs have done wrong the last few games, the Cavs responded the way both James and coach David Blatt wanted – at least in the first half.
“Andy really gave us a lift”, Blatt said. That’s not our normal number. When we don’t turn the ball over, we share the ball offensively, we got the ball popping, and we defend at a high level, we’re a pretty good team.
“Hopefully, they’ll be okay”.
The Hawks were banged up going into the game and it got worse coming out.
13 – Matthew Dellavedova started in place of the injured Mo Williams Thursday, and racked up 13 assists over the course of the evening, a career high.
The Milwaukee Bucks invade the Quicken Loans Arena to battle the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight.
Certainly, they are light years ahead of last season’s stumbling, bumbling, 19-20 start. “We lost. We lost in the Finals”.
“I don’t know if he’s showing us something new”. The superstar forward was impressed with the way they played on Thursday.
