Z and Shaq on the floor together AGAIN??? God no...

[Karma]

Wee I prefer the twin towers to any minutes involving Hickson. We went from twin towers to a migit team. Ugh.

And that was our best stretch of basketball when they were both out there we made our run......

Not getting involved in the game thread, but Coach Brown making the right calls with the bigs in the 3rd. We need to stay big. No Moon or LeBron at the 4 spot.

Shaq/Z against the Lakers works better than I could have ever thought.

The knee jerk, shock jock is at it again.

Sorry Moo, but this was just more bull.

This may have been the best game of MB's career. He made adjustments and shut down the freaking Lakers. Great game by MB.

Shaq and Z matchup well with Bynum and Gasol. The advantage that Bynum has over most centers is his size and length. Shaq completely neutralizes that because he's bigger than Bynum. Gasol also has an advantage against other PF because of his size but he really can't postup Z and has to settle for shooting jumpers over a 7'3" with a long wingspan.

Against other teams that employ a frontcourt that is smaller and more athletic, the Shaq and Z combo might not be as effective. This game is had a little playoff type atmosphere where the physical play dominated, fast break points were hard to come by and both teams had to execute in the half-court.

Good call, Coach Moo!

 

[Walter White]

Against the Lakers...and maybe the Lakers only, that line up is TERRIFIC.

Has anybody considered that we might be sandbagging a bit? MB ran the twin towers until it began to work and then put it away for good matchups. He specifically mentioned Orlando and the lakers. Lebron's post game has improved, but why bring this out until it is needed.

Also that lack of focus the media talks about also leaves very little good tape to study up on us. I think the cavs know how to win the big games and I also think they are going to earn the ring in the spring.

The next measure will be a game in Boston against the Celtics. I expect we will bring it then as well.

I was thinking this same this today.

While it's certainly reasonable to assume the Lakers simply had a bad game, it's fun to think that maybe we're secretly hatching a season long plan to dominate the post-season.

I do have to say, that if any sports writer tries to write one more article about the lack of Shaq's influence this season, they obviously haven't watched a single minute of Cavs basketball this season.

This will probably be the only time I ever say this but...Mike Brown, this crow was the best crow I could have possibly eaten. Twin Towers worked for good stretches tonight.

But...dont let this get to your head MB

 

[The Big Jester]

[Lebron45]
