Welp, we slowed the bleeding in the 2nd quarter. And ANT’s hip seems to be loosening up!
I just hope we come out of this with no injuries and no temper-tantrum suspensions. We need all hands on deck against Milwaukee!
This and the @ OKC ones were going to be the hardest games in the gauntlet, no?
I mean Cleveland is really, really good.

Amazing shooting display by the Stormtroopers from Star Wars in that first quarter. At least they made 7 of 8 free throws.

Cleveland is almost perfectly constructed. Two dynamic guards that can shoot and pass. A big wing that can shoot and defend. And then two skilled bigs that are excellent defenders and good enough offensively that they have to be guarded. Congrats to their front office.

Man, Ant un-guardable lately. I'm sure Cleveland doesn't like to put two on the ball because they are so good defensively, but they may have to since they can't stop him otherwise....Or they can just keep scoring on the other end and it won't really matter!

Hunter is a great addition for them.
Garza doesn’t seem to want to play in the NBA any more, does he?

He's been terrible. Miller must be doing poorly in the stay-in-shape league??? I'm not a big fan of his, but I saw progress in the G-League from last year to this year. I guess we may see him here in the 4th quarter if Finch throws in the towel.

Oh well…
At least we got ANT back in a groove coming off the hip soreness. And the kiddies get some experience playing against the best.
A loss at Cleveland was expected. The blowout is a bummer, but it only counts as one loss. Need to win against the Bucks!

I mean, seriously, if we could have gotten some stops here we could have survived that miserable first quarter offensive start. Ant has become a walking top 10 offense. Our defense has failed us tonight (plus the Cavs are just really good, LOL).

Ant was 1-9 in the first quarter and still has over 40.
