Last time the cavs played the bucks it was without shaq, Z and lebron

the bucks were mocking the cavs in anyway possible in the game. According to the cavs live crew, the team saw it and will go hard at the bucks tonight

I can't stand Jennings already, acting like he's some superstar.
Salmons has really changed that team. But te cavs will go after revenge tonight

cavs by 13

I agree though...the Cavs will be very unhappy tomorrow night. I would love to see a 20+ point victory to put the Bucks back in their place.

Lol Jennings has always been cocky/confident like that.

Thats probably why hes having such a good rookie year...hes not playing timid like some rookies do

Oh my god, there are a couple of Bucks fans over on RCF who are complete idiots.

One of them actually stopped being a Bucks fan and became a Bulls fan... Then when the Bucks got hot, he went back to being a Bucks fan.

He said it was ok since 1) He doesn't live in either city and 2) he was a Bucks fan longer than a Bulls fan, which gives him the right to jump back... <LMAO

Brandon Jennings is cocky, but I don't have a problem with it. If the Cavs can give it out, then they should be able to take it.. Difference is, the Cavs will make the other team pay for. This COULD be a playoff match up in the 2nd round, depending on what the Bucks can do in the 1st round.

I also heard that the Cavs want to send them the message that "They don't want the 5th seed"...

We'll see how t plays out. The Bucks will be coming off a back-to-back I believe.

Bucks coming off a back-to-back, Cleveland at home. This shouldn't be much of a game. The Cavs have been playing down to their competition lately, so we'll see what's in store.

---------------------------------------------

I love this Bucks team. If Michael Redd wasn't tragically killed, WOW, would this team be fun to watch. They are going to be players for years to come.

Brandon Jennings might be my favorite player in the league right now. I love his swag and his fearlessness, and just seems like a guy I'd want to go to war with.

I will say this---The Cavs don't want the Bucks to be the #5 seed, so they'd be wise to handle their business. IMO, The Bobcats, Bucks, and Magic are all threats to the Cavaliers.

I plan on gambling heavily on the Bucks should they and the Cavaliers face up in the playoffs.

The Bucks cannot beat a healthy Cavaliers team.

The Bucks, who needed the win badly against Cleveland, won by only 7 without Cleveland playing LeBron, Shaq, Powe, or Z. Varejao also only played 26 minutes due to foul trouble. Cleveland will overpower the Bucks come playoff time as they will have countless bodies to throw at Bogut and no one to stop LeBron.

And a damn near fully healthy Cavs team only beat the Kings (without Tyreke Evans) by 7 points in their last game.

John Salmons will be on LeBron duty. He is one of the most underrated players in the league and can make LeBron work for his points.

They also have a quick point guard (Jennings) who can give the Cavaliers fits if he's clicking.

They have bodies to throw at Bogut, but nobody who can guard him (with Shaq being injured).

Carlos Delfino is a hell of a swing man, and don't sleep on my man Ersan Ilyasova!!!

Shaq will be ready by the 2nd round, imo he'll probably be ready for the 1st round.

There are only a handful of players that can make LeBron work for his points, I don't think Salmons is one of them. LeBron is just too good for any one person to try and slow him down one on one.

I'd love to see Brown put West on Jennings.

Come playoff time, when Cleveland is focused 100%, the Bucks will not be able to hang with them for 7 games.

Shaq might be back, but it's not like he's going to come roaring out of the gate. It will take him awhile to a) get in game shape b) find his rhythm, and c) his teammates figuring out how to play with him once again.

These things take time.

He hurt his thumb, its not like he cannot run and stay in shape. Plus, as that thumb heals he'll start back into practicing with the team and getting into game shape.

And you said Shaq was the only person who could guard Bogut, I don't think he needs the chemistry with the teammates to guard him. I am sure Cleveland can pick up the slack offensively for Shaq.

Yes, because Shaq has always been known as a workout warrior and running on a tradmill is the same as running/jumping/bumping during games.

He'll be physically ready to go. He hurt his thumb, the only thing will be getting adjusted which won't hurt his defense. Its not your fault since you aren't a Cavs fan, but Shaq has been staying in shape since his injury as its been talked about numerous times.

From Windhort in the Cleveland PD:
During the first quarter while his teammates were out playing the Pistons, Shaquille O'Neal was in the weight room at The Q working out and doing some light rehab with his thumb, which is out of a cast and now in a small splint. He wasn't on a scale, but to the naked eye he appears to have lost weight since he went down with the injury just about a month ago.

When he left to go to Florida after the surgery he was telling teammates that he'd not just be back before the end of the regular season, but that he'd be in better shape when he comes back than went he left. Nothing can prepare anyone for playing in real games and it will probably take a while for him to get some rhythm when he does return. But if there were any concerns about O'Neal letting himself go because he's not playing, take it from me -- it appears to have been quite the opposite.

Agreed. and besides shaq no one can truly man up on bogut.

I agree with the sentiment and sarcasm in this post.

According to Windy and Finnan Shaq has been staying in good shape since he went out with the injury. He's working out with the team and looks like he has lost 15-20 pounds. The Bucks are a solid up and coming team but they wont be ready for the Cavs in the playoffs. This Cavs team has an answer for everything. Cavs are deeper and more physical.

Bucks were white hot since the all star break....until the last week when they seemed to plop back down to earth. I agree though, the Cavs could get beaten tomorrow night.

Shaq made it a priority to stay in shape?! Where the fuck was that attitude when he was with the Heat? He'd probably still be playing with the Heat.

I agree, any team could beat another during the regular season at one point.

But the Bucks would have to hope that the supporting cast fails for Cleveland once again in a 7 game series because they won't be able to slow LeBron for 4 games. Even when the Cavs cast doesn't show up their still in games at the end.

You guys should have just stopped responding to him right there--his credibility was shot as soon as he said that.

The Bucks, hahaha, I think the Cavs DO want the Bucks to get the 5 seed. IF, and I doubt it, they could beat the Hawks or Celtics, they'd get massacred by the Cavs. To honestly believe anything different is just a pipe dream of an obsessed individual.
