​

The George's three G's to get the VIC-TO-REEE

#1 G....Get the ball inside....our offense got away from that in the Phoenix game and we were wayyy to outide oriented...We match up very well with the Clipps and while they do have talented Bigs on the starting front lien they don NOT have the depth inside that we do and we should be able to peck away inside and cause Brand and Hulk Hogan to get into some foul trouble...LeBron Drew and Z all need to be hammering away down low

#2 G....Get the ball to LeBron...They have no one on this Clipps roster who should be allowed to attempt to guard LeBron James...early in the game it looks to be Cuttino Mobley guarding LeBron which is a complete JOKE...Take him off the dribble and head to the lane because Mobley shouldnt be able to even slow LeBron down a little bit...If Lebrons outside jumper is falling at a resonable percentage I think he should drop at least 34 tonight on these guys....one thing to look out for is Zone...The Clipps like to play Zone and it may be the only way to keep leBron out of the lane which means we go back to the #1 G and hammer them inside with our other bigs

#3 G....Grab those boards...Again the Clipps have a very nice starting front court and Elton Brand is a monster and will probably play like it tonight....what we cannot do is let them get 2nd chance buckets...we need to crash the boards and get out on the break so they dont have time to set up a zone and on offense we need to get easy buckets via Z tap in or Andy and Drew hustling for an O board


and a very special 4th G of the game

#4 G....GUARD LUKE JACKSON....we all know how great this kid can be...lets just try to contain him because Lord knows we arent going to stop him...Maybe throw a few double and triple teams at him and force the ball out of his hands...also praying to the basketball Gods that he has an off night is another good idea



Prediction

Cavs were embarassed thursday night on national tv...how will they respnd? that is going to deteremine who wins this game...we are flat out better than this team and we need to show it...Play smart offense and killer instinct defense and we should be able to win...show the world that thursday night was just an off night and that the Cavs are here to play for real...

Cavs 96
Clipps 88

[cavincali]

I think we come out a little irritated, and punch those fools in the face. :boxer:

 

[cav jvl]

when did Luke join the Clips? I thought he was on some CBA team. Watch him go off for 30 tonight.:chuckles:

 

[cav jvl]

Mike Brown needs to smash one of his many pair of spects tonight to rally the troops during the required listless 3rd.

 

[Maximus]

Lebron is 0-6 at Staple Center....time to get the monkey off his back.

 

[Dungong]

Brand is always a monster against us. He'll give us problems no matter who we put on him. Z can own Kaman however, so the front court matchups should even out.

The most intriguing matchup might be Eric Snow vs Sam Cassell. Have we had an older matchup so far this season at the point? How often does Snow get to guard someone older than he is?

 

[Smooth]

I'm lovin' the pink George... :chuckles:

 

[Smooth]

EDIT:

Hughes is out with a Quad Strain.

Figures...

DOUBLE EDIT:

Why isn't Gibson starting?

 

[Smooth]

Wow, look at this... LeBron decides to go to the hole and has 16 pts at half... Astonishing...

 

[Pioneer10]

Lebron playing well.

Have to say Sasha started looking good there in the second quarter. He had a rocky start but turned it around.

With regards to Snow the Clippers aren't even guarding him when he's got layups

 

[cavs_playa23]

We better be show-casing David Wesley...I just can't fathom why he is getting minutes ahead of say shannon or gibson...
