Cleveland Cavaliers & The NBA

by **Hi Oktane** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 9:32 pm

Thought I'd get it started here a 1/2-hour out. Just read Windhorst's latest blog. Here's the link in case some of you haven't seen it:

Some insight here on guarding Mr. Longoria tonight:

--Sounds like Mike Brown is planning on using LeBron and Daniel Gibson a lot on Parker and maybe even Sasha Pavlovic. The goal will be to use big guys and give him space so he has trouble getting good looks at the basket and will take jumpers more. This is a total pick your poison choice and Brown knows it. The Spurs were shooting almost 40 percent on 3-pointers in the playoffs before they missed a boat load -- many of them going in and out -- in Game 1. Parker will happily kick the ball out and so will Duncan.

I know they've earned the right, but don't the Spurs come off a bit cocky in their interviews. Guess you have to be confident, but hopefully the Cavs will use those comments (i.e., Duncan saying it's intimidating being a young team and it doesn't make it any easier having a young leader) as motivation.

wow

thats all i can really say

by **FUDU** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 10:14 pm

This might get ugly quick.

Why is LeBron sitting, in the first freakin quarter, of the biggest game of his career to date?

Brown gambled, and it didn't pay off. We'd have called him an idiot if LBJ picked up his third on a drive to the bucket. Whether he's on the court or on the bench, the Cavs need someone else to do SOMETHING. Otherwise, doesn't much matter whether Lebron is out there or not.

Oh well.

It was fun while it lasted.

We'll always have Detroit.

This series is over.

We appear to attempt fast breaks more/better when LeBron isn't the one with the ball?

That makes so little sense, Snow pushes it more than Lebron lately.

Memo to Mike Brown: prevent Hughes from making decisions as much as possible.

by **Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 10:22 pm

ok cavs lets calm down now..........only down 6

not gonna happen tonight

im embarrassed to be a cavs fan at the moment

why is james sitting still?

WTF is brown on crack?

by **StewieG** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 10:33 pm

I've had just about enough of Marshall and Hughes. Wastes of money.

by **Hi Oktane** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 10:34 pm

Why all the freakin' hok shots from Z. He's 7-foot freaking 3!!!

by **consigliere** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 10:34 pm

WTF is Mike Brown doing?

Absolutely no way you take Lebron out. I don't care if he has 4 fouls in the 1st quarter. This is not a regular season game, this is a much needed game, and you have to have faith in your superstar to now get any cheapies.

Plus, we know Lebron is well learned in coasting on the defensive end. :P :-P :razz:

Buck up!

Great season. I'm still proud and up on this team. We're just not there yet. Hopefully we are hungrier, the front office does a better job, and Bron stays healthy and keeps the faith he can get it done here in C-town.

I'm more on the Mike Bibby bandwagon now than ever, though. Is he an FA or will we still need a trade?

Gotta have that second vet scorer.

by **FUDU** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 10:36 pm

Agreed consig.

Brown has to at least go down fighting with his best on the floor.
It is embarrassing to watch without the team putting forth their best effort and that can only happen with LeBron on the court.

by **Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 10:37 pm

someone tell the cavs the special olympics are in a few months

by **StewieG** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 10:37 pm

Jesus Christ Snow, make a fucking layup. It's not that hard. Seriously.

by **Hi Oktane** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 10:37 pm

Eric Snow must lead the league in no calls when he drives to the hoop. He get hammered consistently.

by **Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 10:38 pm

just imagine if we have a usual 3rd quarter LMAO

we might lose by 50

im going to bed if we miss our first 5 shots in the 3rd

He did get hacked. But, he could've finished anyway if he had a left hand like my 11 year-old daughter.

There is a 2nd qurter too.

by **FUDU** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 10:41 pm

LeBron is definitely going to need to duplicate game 5 from the Detroit series just to keep this one close, problem is he will need to get it started in about 5 minutes.

It's as if we have never played organized ball before tonight.

Don't get it after hanging around well in the first 17 minutes of game 1.

BTW anybody else having to log back in every time they make a post or visit the forum?

by **consigliere** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 10:42 pm

Ths game is far from over.....but ain't looking good so far. I am not giving up yet.

Although, Mike Brown didn't help matters. Just a dumb move on his part sitting Lebron. Would Doug Collins/Phil Jackson sit Jordan in the same situation? No way.

And JB, I am with you, I want Bibby. Imagine if we had acquired him at the deadline?

Is Hughes moveable in the offseason?

by **Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 10:42 pm

yay james

lets take 20+ foot jumpers and keep missing

this fucking series IS done

If they're going to wing, Lebron better hit a few of those 17-19 footers.

Dony, in regard to the login issues.....yeah, I am having the same problem. Rich will have to run a patch and fix it. I'll post something in the site help thread.
