They need this one in their quest for the 4th seed while the Cavs flat out need it just to get into the playoffs. Both games between these two teams this year have been very entertaining, and if you get the chance, tune into ESPN on Friday night for this one, I'll be there, it will be fun. Bucks by 4
Looking Forward Boy, I'm sure glad this board is back! I'm also real glad I'm gonna be at this game. Looking forward to seeing LeBron live. I'm hoping the Bucks come out hungry though. We need this one real bad after that game in Indiana. Anyways, glad we're back. I say Bucks by 4. See ya on ESPN.
Both teams need this game badly, a Bucks win would put them into 4th seed which would mean homecourt advantage and we all know how important that is come playoff time. The cavs are a game out of 8th seed and if they want to make the palyoffs they badly need to get some road victories under their belt.
The Bucks need to take this game, right now their is a 3 way ties for the 4th spot in the East, and the Cavs are without McInnis who has been the spark to their winning. Redd can't have games like he had against Indy, even in the win he played bad, and Joe needs to keep doing his thing. Cut down on the turnovers, and hit our shots and this game should be succesful. Bucks by 6 GO!!

Lebron just flat out looked disinterested in hustiling or showing any emotion tonight.

I wasn't home, but when I came and checked the score I cried tears of joy. Beautiful game by everyone, the whole starting lineup, and even the bench. Wait, how valuable is Jeff McInnis, people will start to see as long as he's out.
I think the bucks will win the cavs game 104 to 83. the cavaliers have really sucked this year. i think they'll get their butts kicked by the bucks.

And u knew the score Lane291!
I think that Redd will show something to LeBron James. Redd has been in the NBA longer and has more experience. James has been in the NBA for a year. Redd has an awesome record. The cavs have had so many injuries this year that it'll be impossible for the Bucks to lose. The Bucks have very few injuries and all their starters are in top condition. The Cavs have some of their starters who may be getting a little bit tired because they're not as well conditioned about half way through the game.
