Z now the 2nd all time leading scorer in Cavs History

[nime]

Could it happen Friday?

All Time Cavs Leader in Pts
#2: 10,389 Brad Daugherty
#3: 10,371 Z

Nice Christmas present, Cavs win with Z getting 20+ pts.
In the past the pick n pop worked against Gasol and Bynum.

Last year at home, Z had 20 in the 1st half. I remember Jackson saying at half that Z can take all of those shots he wants because eventually he will tire out. Sure enough he had only 2 pts in the second half. Z was injured and didn't play in the road meeting.

Dude, that would be awesome if it happened. Z would get the HUGE publicity nationally that he deserves.

I think we're gong to have to play Shaq heavy minutes though against their huge front line Bynum/Artest/Pau and Odom.

The only situation where Z would get enough minutes to score 20 is if Master Phil plays the "get Shaq in foul trouble" strategy early. Which I could totally see him doing.

Having heard this news, Mike Brown plans to sit Z out of Friday's game for no reason.

More like Mike Brown benches Z after he is scores 17 points.

Big Z is such a class guy. Glad to see him still in the wine and gold. Hope he retires as a Cav.

Im sure brown is gonna experiment with the twin towers...In fairness, I think we may see some things where people scratch their heads. I think the regular season is the time to experiment a bit and we only play the lakers 2x.

Yep, at least that's what Windhorst reports:

Cavs coach Mike Brown said he would probably use O'Neal and center Zydrunas Ilgauskas on the floor together because of the Lakers' size

It seemed like the Cavs were trying to get him pts in that 3rd quarter.
Too bad the record is going to go down in Atl.

Well if Brown wouldn't have sat him out for that one game, he'd probably have broken it last night... Just sayin'

Maybe they'll make an announcement at the Q on Wednesday.

No one has said that this is anything big. Just something that is note (thread) worthy. Just two baskets required, or a 4 point play :chuckles:
