Cavs @ Magic

[bob2the2nd]

here is a hint brown.. SIT LARRY'S ASS ON THE BENCH

I'm gonna go counsel myself over why I wasted a Saturday night following this team. Fortunately I'm on the WC and it's only 6:30. But still. I'm out.

Hey BTW anybody who wants to complain about the officiating...we have 22 FT attempts while Orlando has 15. But we have Eric Snow on our team going 0-for-4 from the stripe and it's still the refs' fault. Sure those calls were shady but at the end of the day, we have Eric Snow on our roster. The joke's on us.

The joke is our team's "mental focus"- I knew we wouldn't come back from that crap call on Z, and we haven't.

I am going to a game in January. If Lebron is still doing his thing, I was thinking I could take a sign that said:

"Hey Lebron. If convenient, could you play hard?"

Same problem as so many past games...we succeed inside, then go away from it...Gooden taking too many jumpers (16 shot attempts?)...Eric Snow playing like his old self...but AV wasn't a factor tonight, which is huge. Terrible bench play. Sure there were some stupid calls (that jump ball with Z was RIDICULOUS) but offensively once this team gets challenged by some pressure, they just step back and launch jumpers. No heart.

 

[PIP]

Oh well, we still had this in our grasp, but couldn't execute...

We're still one of the BEAST OF THE EAST

.....true, but insignificant.

Would a super fun fact from LJ4MVP and a happy Cavalier lollipop from JonInVa change your mind ????

 

[Coyote]

Gooden and Hughes combined for 11-33. Awesome.

Eric Snow can't hit a free throw but don't worry, Fred says "He'll come around."

I'm convinced more than ever that we need a PG who can intelligently run a consistent offensive game plan since Mike Brown needs help in that area. Lebron and Larry can make some spectacular dishes here and there, but their vision of the offense revolves around constantly dropping the ball off at the top of the key. When Snow's mid-range jumper is working, he's effective at best; when it's not, he cannot drive at all.

Another road loss on a back-to-back, and I'm sure that's what some are going to blame this on.

I want to mass-produce and sell the hell out of the candy their eating. People'd be trippin' all day and night, and I'd be rich.

I....would consider it.

Cavs were alright defensively tonight for the most part but once again it's the other end of the court that kills them. I wonder if that will continue to be a problem until as much emphasis is placed on offesne that is placed on defense.

Bench was basically non existent tonight. I'm not sure why Jones got 26 minutes. He was doing nothing offensively and at the other end he made Travis Deiner look like Steve Nash.
The veteran G's played like crap tonight. Gibson was solid when he was in there and with the way tonight's game went he deserved more minutes.

Like Coyote said earlier the Cavs went away from what was successful. They stopped looking to score inside and once again the movement in the offense started to disappear. As soon as that happens Mike Brown has to get a TO and put an end to it.

It's not the reason the Cavs lost but Z and LeBron did get screwed by the refs tonight. The call against Z on the jumpball was a joke.

This was a winnable game despite less than great efforts by some players. Better offensive execution would have done it.

This would have been a good time to try Gibson Hughs and LBJ together.

I tell you what man. Mike Brown was touted as a defensive specialist and that has proved to be true, but I don't think his offensive scheming is going to work. The system should have turned a corner by now, but it has only gotten worse.

At least last year, the Cavs lost in an exciting fashion. This year it is just an ugly win or loss.

you must be reffering to the game in oakland against golden state. i went to that last season, worst game ever. Then the very next game brons 51 and gets a standing 0 on the road. I have tickets this year again as well.
