Cavaliers @ Kings (Friday 10:30 ESPN)

I'm starting to think the reason why we don't run after defensive rebounds is not related to point guard play at all. Gooden and to a certain extent Z, hold the ball way too long after a rebound. They need to be snapping passes to LBJ or Gibson instead of waiting for god knows what. Our guards can't push the ball if they don't have it in their hands.

Devin Brown making Danny Ferry look like a genius and may be challenging Sasha Pavlovic as starting 2 guard when Hughes inevitable goes down again.

Good call, I notice that also. Gooden holds it more and dribbles around too damn much!

Thus creating the term, "Gooden Blackhole" moments.

LeBron played incredibly in the last couple minutes..He really is CRAZY good..

Kevin Martin is damn good too..

Nice win.

Definitely an ugly win but we'll take it. With a lot of guys missing and on the road we can't be too picky right now. LBJ turned it on when he had to and basically took over at the end. And Devin was outstanding on the offensive side.

We shot 39% from the field, with Sasha and Drew looking particularly bad, and still got a big win on the road. And only 11 turnovers tonight.

And MB is still looking for some help with the big men. Is it just me or did Simmons look really raw out there? Not sure he's ready for many big minutes for a while...

Was there a foul called on that play?

 

[LBJHerpes]

I'm really not looking forward to Larry Hughes coming back. He is only going to hurt us now Watching Larry or Drew play is always a treat

This game sucked. We should have won by 20 and I had to sit on the highest row of the entire crap hole arena BEHIND THE BACK BOARD STANDARD!!!!

I thought I would be able to move down a little bit but couldnt tell what seats were empty due to the lack of purple passion or the beer lines.

Regardless I got to yell a lot.

BTW there were quite of few Cavs fans in the building, and Im not counting Lebron jerseys.

Devin Brown was huge last night and I don't think the Cavs get the win without him.

LeBron was great in the 4th but he pissed me off before that. I get tired of seeing him spend the majority of offensive possessions standing still 25 feet from the basket. Makes him much easier to defend. He also reverted too many times to his pound down the shot clock grind the offense to a halt tactics. He also too often was giving a half ass effort defensively. Players he was guarding were blowing past him much of the night. He was great defensively at the end though.
It was laughable seeing him yell at teammates over defensive rotations when he and other perimeter players were doing a terrible job of preventing the penetration in the 1st place and watched players easily drive right past them.

Once again we're seeing Z ignored in the offense for the most part. About the whole shot attempts he got were on offensive rebounds.

Gibson has gotten screwed on foul calls the past 2 games. At least 3 were horrible calls.

Always nice to get a win but with a better effort by some players earlier in the game and better teamwork at both ends the game wouldn't have come down to the wire.

Beggers cant be choosers. We have alot of bodies out and are in the midst of a long West road trip with hardly the roster we anticipated having. Any win out West is a good win.

 

[NarlCavs]

Didn't mean to be overly negative. It is good to be able to get any win on a West coast trip. I did see some things I didn't like last night and hope it doesn't become a pattern. Cavs have looked like they're getting away from some old bad habits and I don't want to see them start happening again.
