Bobcats @ Cavaliers

A win's a win, but the Cavs have to be the worst 13-8 team ever....

The worst underachiving, 13-8, uncaring, contending team ever.

Maybe, but why does Lebron need outside motivation? Man, that worries me. To have all that physical talent and to just not get it mentally. I hope that is not the case with him.

It's repetition.. Winning becomes contagious and addictive.. Understanding how to win is vital.. His mental game is retarded to a degree because of the situations he's put in by the game plan... I am disappointed in him from the standpoint that he can't recognize the problems when they start, and therefor is not able to put the fire out before it starts in the game.. Then again, he's only been to the playoffs once in his life, and never had any college experience...But it all comes with experience... He's getting by on talent alone..

Jordan hit a huge shot in college and won, but he didn't know how to win in the pros until a few things were in place and experience...

Granted, his was different in the sense that he was always aggressive, but he didn't know how to win... Same with Kobe... Kobe was aggressive from jump street as well, he shot the air balls against the Jazz in the 97 playoffs and had the confidence to take the shots.. But he didn't know how to win and attack the game from a mental perspective until certain things (i.e proper coaching was in place)

The Cavs have regressed and didn't build upon what they learned from the playoffs last year... Based on how they played last year in the playoffs, and going into hostile environments such as Washington and Detroit, and getting wins, that experience and knowledge of how to win on the road should translate now.. Especially since these situations they're playing in now on the road (Oklahoma, Charlotte, Indiana) are nowhere near as challenging as the playoffs...But that hasn't translated, and that's a problem from the leadership standpoint..

I just hoping the 2006 part of the 2006-07 season is one of experiments for Coach Brown. His rotations lack consistency and common sense. We have seen lineups that see us play energised and are efficient at both ends, but he rarely sticks with them. This new 3 point guards on the floor thing must end now!

I think the coaching sucks. The only play they run at crunch time is give it to LBJ at the top of the key, everyone else get out of the way and just stand there so LBJ can go through 5 guys to the basket. Last year he actually did it quite a bit which was amazing, but this year other teams have adjusted and it is alot harder to do so when the game is on the line. Brown has NOT made ANY adjustment. Same end of the game lineup no matter who we are playing. No offensive plays utilizing picks, cuts to the basket, inside penetration or posting up inside. Same thing everytime resulting in 30 foot jump shots repeatedly. The mouse in my basement could come up with these plays. How about a little offensive creativity and good adjustments during the game? Have they had one good third quarter this year? Have they come out of one timeout with a nicely designed play resulting in an easy basket? Come on Mike, COACH!

Cleveland fans are brutal, some little girl about 12 years old got booed last night trying to sing.

I was at the game on Saturday vs. the Pacers and that "Evolution of Dance" guy from youtube was the halftime show. He was booed mercilessly. It was funny to see that.

LeBron looked tired. He is playing too many minutes and the world championship combined wore him out.
