Cavaliers vs. Nets - Game 1/Round2

That pavlovic hustle block and Hughes jumper were both huge.

Hate the late call but it was the correct call.

Props for the designed play. Looks simple but having Hughes giving the pick instead of the usual big man, gave a little surprise to the opponent. And phenomenal defense on that last possession.

Game one - win.

We really still need to give the ball more inside though. But winning game one was huge.

Wow unbelievable game. Unbelievable clutch by James. Unbelievable block by Sasha. Unbelievable shooting night for Hughes. Unbelievable game by Gooden. Keep it up Cavaliers!!!

Ugly game for the most part. The improved offensive flow we saw in the Wizards series disappeared today.

The important thing is that the Cavs grinded out a win even though it wasn't always pleasant to look at.
Enough big plays from each starter at key moments and shots hit at key moments to get it done. If the Cavs don't dominate the boards it's a loss. They can't count on that every game in the series to be a big key for the offense.
Solid job defensively in this game. Kidd was controlled and Carter was forced to take some tough shots.

The continued lack of production from the bench has to be a concern. At some point they're going to have to get some points from there.

Play of the game has to be Sasha's block of Kidd.

Glad to see Cavs able to get the job done when they didn't always have their A game today.

Be careful guys, according to Wilbon and John Thompson, the Nets have gained confidence by hanging around in this game today.

Amazing what losing games to the Cavs can do for one's confidence!

Kidd then made a steal and was on his way in for an easy layup when Pavlovic, whose poor defense in the past kept him seated on Brown's bench, ran down New Jersey's guard from behind and swatted away his shot at the rim.

"I thought he was going to dunk it, he didn't and I just blocked it," Pavlovic said.

Well, we know Pavlovic doesn't read the scouting reports.

When I heard that I started laughing. But that block was awsome.

Sooo glad we got this first one and we're back in rhythm. I was very worried about the coming out in the 3rd but we took care of business.

Yeah, we know how much confidence the Wizards gained in those four losses to the Cavs. Maybe they can carry that confidence around on the golf course all summer? Same for the Nets when their season ends after Game 5.
