Cleveland @ Phoenix

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Ira is going to shoot here in the last minute...AND MAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
THE PREDATOR AKA Ira Newble puts one in... he can later self-destruct himself in peace
 
I had high hopes for this game.... apparently I was just high.
 
Pass that Ben!
No defense and I hate to say it, but Charles has some valid points. Nothing but dunks and layups on fast breaks. That was an ugly game for a Cavs fan.

Nash on the other hand is ridiculous. His vision is unreal!
 
Nash and Snow trade places, we win by 25. Ferry needs to find a PG right away! Lebron leading this team to 50 wins and deep in the playoffs should rank as one of the all time greatest achievements in NBA history.
 
Bad game, bad effort, bad game plan, bad D, bad O.

Write it off, and let's see what happens when they come to Cleveland.

*shrugs*

I was surprised they layed back on the P&R's. I thought they'd be more aggressive. Their transition D sucked. Amare was way huger for them, then Hughes was for us. Basically everything I hoped would work in our favor backfired. Blech.

The Suns otoh, were firing on all cylinders and were amazing. I don't think we could ever space the floor like they do, because noone believes we can make a shot. :(
 
52.9% Free Throw? Are you serious? That is just not exceptable in any way shape of form. Even on the road.
 
52.9% Free Throw?

That is one indicator, but we got beat in every category. The Suns out-assisted us 3 to 1, out-stole us, out-rebounded our vaunted frontline, They out-blocked us for heavens sake. They beat us in every way by every measure.

Either the guys weren't ready to play, or the defense doesn't work against running teams. The suns shoot 74% of the time within the first 15 seconds. We just were not ready for that pace.

Long way to go to the playoffs. Hopefully this will allow the Cavs to see just how big a hill they need to climb by May.
 
I wouldn't put a ton of stock into last night's game. We were due for a clunker on the road and I'm glad it came in this one. Even if we would have played well we wouldn't have beaten them last night. They were just clicking on all cylinders and hitting every shot.

If we can find a way to win 3 of these next 5 on the trip I will consider this West coast swing a huge success, especially after going 1-5 last year. It will be tough to win 3 of 5 but right now we are a better team than SEA, POR, DEN, and GS. Not sure about the Clips, we don't seem to match up very well with them.
 
I didn't watch it, but apparently it wasn't exactly a thriller.

On ESPNEWS this morning this was said: "And next, how MVP Steve Nash proved his dominance over LeBron James and the Cavs". Now LBJ killed Nash as far as stats goes, so did Nash make some plays or what?
 
he had 3 billion assists.
