Bobcats @ Cavaliers

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

jesus christ......Bobcats down 2 witht he ball


we suck


thank god Larry gets the steal

We are only as good as our star who, just likes the Cavs, does the right thing for a while, then acts like he doesn't care and thats when it all hits the fan.

Gosh, these games are getting depressing.
 
Thank God for Hughes, Snow and AV who actually care and play like it.
 
at least we won....


we need to get our shit together...


BUT I am blaming the ball thats my offical excuse...haha

Gosh I hope so, maybe that composite is some sort of kyptonite that creates apathy in Lebron.
 
This shit is getting old - like I said we'd have to scrap to win against a team we should easily beat at home. We would have lost this game on the road. Something needs to change with this team, and fast. If not we will be out of the playoffs in the first round.
 
We do suck... If this was any other team not named the Bobcats, we would have gotten smoked.

I think at this point we all know that records don't mean anything. We are scraping for wins against most teams we play, no matter who they are. We could be the one seed and it wouldn't matter because we can all see this team has problems.

The frustrating thing is, it seems like very fixable things. Simple things like, don't go around screens, drive more often, make smarter passes (i.e. - not cross court passes), hustle. We always seem to get up then just start hoisting 14-18 foot jumpers, or they get close or up and our answer is a barrage of threes.

I know a lot of people are blaming Brown, but I can see Lebron giving up possessions, with some fairly sloppy passing, standing around, shooting ill-advised, off-balance jumpers, not gathering passes, gambling on plays and of course, having stretches of looking apathetic.

I blame Lebron. I cheer for Lebron, but we have all noticed his relatively poor play. As Lebron goes, so goes the team. You would never see Iverson, Duncan or even Wade put themselves in cruise mode for quarters at a time. You don't see Snow, AV or Hughes do that either.
 
Another half ass effort and poorly coached game. That's been way too common this season.

The only good thing to say is at least it's a win. If the opponent was decent and not one of the worst teams in the league the outcome would have been different.

I'm really not sure what this team is trying to do offensively anymore. The new system at the start of the year seems to have disappeared for the most part. It's more perimeter oriented and filled with one on one play.

I have no idea what's going on with LeBron but it needs to change. It may be fatigue and if so than Brown needs to reduce his minutes and learn to suck it up and live without him on the floor for 42 a night.

If the Cavs didn't have such an easy schedule to start the season than I'd hate to think what their record would be.

I agree, Rimage.. However, albeit LBJ's responsibility, it's the leadership that comes from the top that has to recognize that, and deliver the message.. Riley, Jackson, Sloan would never let their Alpha dog(s) play like that, or even put them in a position to put forth that type of performance..
 
LeBron drops 22 8 and 7 on what I would call a pretty bead night


I mean the kid is sooo good he damn near drops a triple double on a terrible night....if he can get fixed whatever it is that is wrong he will be back to last years LeBron.....he is too good to be playing like he is


Talent is there just need to get back into his game shape of last year
 
More fun facts:

Anyone care to ask LeBron to close out on the shooter?

Let's dribble 12 seconds off the clock before we go into a lousy offensive set.

How about we let Carroll score in 3 seconds off the inbound?

Hey...Larry almost lost it twice, and then almost threw it away. But, hell, a win's a win.

Our All Star Center is 5 foot 3 on the bench every fourth quarter.

Let's get Boobie one shot tonight.

Donyell down low? Only in Australia.

Let's welcome Sasha to the Ira Newble/David Wesley club.

Why go low when it worked so well early?

But my favorite game moment comes from the challenged Fred McLeod:

"Drew's got a groin pull...does that affect lateral mobility, Scott?"

Mr Moohead's answer:

"Haven't you ever pulled a groin, you desk sitting, stuttering piece of human waste? Have you EVER done anything athletic, or did you grow up sniffing jock straps?"

All in all, an entertaining evening.

Moo

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.
 
A win's a win, but the Cavs have to be the worst 13-8 team ever....
 
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!
 
Sorry but I think Cavs can only win at home.
