Re: Cavs vs Hawks - Feb 8th - 7:30PM EST
i was at the game tonight and just wanted to add a few notes:
1. in warm-ups larry hughes can't miss, seriously, how can you make 20 jumpers in a row in warm-ups, but then go into a game and go 5-16, and i noticed in the game he hits a lot of shots when there is a guy on him and he's doing a quick pull up, it's the shots when lebron finds him, and larry has 2 minutes to set and shoot, those are the shots he bricks or completely air-balls
2. to continue my report on warm-ups, eric snow misses every shot, even in warm-ups with no one on him, it's painful to realize that someone that physically talented can't make a wide open shot, in the game i think he blew at least 2 lay-ups, not even jump-shots, lay-ups, but on the flip-side his defense was fantastic (snow on joe johnson and hughes on anthony johnson?) and his setting up the offense was fairly solid, i guess i was just caught off guard to see the only real point guard on our roster play and set things up...i still in my heart believe that eric snow was never meant to play basketball, he should have stuck at football because he would have been pro-bowl level and pretty much any skill position (minus quarterback)
3. lebron is amazing, he made the comment the other day that he can win no matter who is on the court with him...tonight i think he tried to prove it...with all the injuries and mike brown just saying to himself "some of my guys really suck, that ball boy looks okay, as long as he stays out of lebron's way, we can win with him playing center"...i talked to a few hawks fans and they agreed on that point, other than lebron and ira newble, they really didn't know who cleveland had, that wasn't hurt
4. props to drew gooden for using his injury time wisely...okay, seriously, every time there was a timeout called the entire team ignores what is going on out on the court and concentrating on what the coaches are telling them...except for drew gooden, who has his back turned to the rest of the team while he watches the hawks cheerleaders out dancing, i can't blame the man, a lot of them were pretty good looking, but it was completely obvious that he didn't care about the rest of the cavs team at that point, he was preoccupied with more pressing issues
