Keys to the game

• ZERO INJURIES !
  
• Get the rookies some in game experience against actual NBA regulars !
  
• Look for any new wrinkles within the offense.. Hopefully, the era of 'LeBron and those other guys' offense, is a thing of the past !!

Im excited to see the Cavs play their first game, and check out Shannon Brown and the new players.

Re: Preseason game #1 Cavs vs Celtics

I just hope the boys are focused for that big game against the Maccabi Elite next week. Right Recluse? Basically the season is a wash if they can't win that one. I really hope LBJ plays the full 48 minutes.

Recluse, any analysis on the game? What can we do to win this game? I'm expecting a full house at the Q. It is going to be rowdy down there.......

Cavs go on 8-0 run. Up 12-4.

Whole team actually playing fluid and making jumpers.

I'll try to help you out..

So far LeBron looks like his normal self with a couple of very nice plays...

Hughes also looks very good on his jumpers..

Defensive rotations of Z and Drew are slow as usual.

Re: Preseason game #1 Cavs vs Celtics

Lordy, I don't know if this is just because it is preseason and the Celtics are just apathetic, but he Cavs look silky smooth on offence and tight on defense...but, it only like 5 minutes into the game.

They just look like they know what they are doing though.

Re: Preseason game #1 Cavs vs Celtics

Gooden has looked very well so far.. Getting so boards and scoring a good amount.. (12 pts 6-6)

Z looks rusty and flat on his shots..

24-13 4:26 left...

Re: Preseason game #1 Cavs vs Celtics

Cavs 22
Celts 13

Telfair can't shoot and has travelled twice. Celtics are bad. Young and have a lot of potential but they are a small team. If Rondo and Telfair can shoot, they might be ok but I don't think either of them can shoot. They miss Delonte.

Drew is having a monster game. 10 pts already and scored off a nice quick pass from Z and then another one from Wesley. If they play half court offense like this all year then I will yell at the TV a lot less than last year.

I hate having to listen to Austin Carr. New guy is not bad but Austin Carr did say something along the lines of : "Telfair and Rondo are quick guards. They bring quickness to the Celtics."

Re: Preseason game #1 Cavs vs Celtics

Varejao has looked pretty good.. His normal energetic self..

Marshall looks more agile..

Damon has done nothing..

Wesley hasn't really done anything...

Hughes looks great.. A very encourging sign,..

34-26 Cavs end of 1st
