Questions for Cavs fans
1) Do you consider yourselves a lock for the playoffs yet, or are you feeling cautious?
2) How effective a replacement has Gooden been for Boozer? Do you still wish Boozer hadn’t left, or are you fine with how things have turned out?
3) What are you going to do with Wagner? He averaged 20 ppg over his first 10 games or so, but has since gone right off the radar and is extremely injury prone. Do you see him in the long-term strategy for the Cavs?

1) Yes. If we don't make the playoffs, excluding major injuries, Silas should be fired and Phil Jackson hired immediately.
2)I miss Boozer's consitency. When Gooden is on he might actually be better then Boozer especially with blocks and rebounds. Defense both suck. The problem is Gooden has been like a Yo-Yo in terms of numbers, if he gets more consistent then we got a player as good as Boozer probably at a cheaper price
3)I wish Wagner good luck with another team. As far as I'm concerned he's just taking time away from Sasha and Luke right now. Wagner can still likely score but he hasn't improved his dribble, passing, or most importantly defence significantly with the Cavs. He needs a change of scenery badly

1. Yes, assuming we stay healthy I consider ourselves a lock for the playoffs.
2. I agree that Gooden needs to be more consistent. So far we're winning at a greater rate than we were last year, so good riddance. Obviously it can be attributed to having a totally different team than at last year's start, but we're clicking. I like Gooden a lot, he can be great if he gains consistnecy.
3. Sadly, even I now agree that it is time for Wagner move on. I think he still can be a very good player in the NBA if he is put in the right situation. I would like to see him moved to the Bobcats where I think he could really shine. Maybe he could go home to Jersey and play with the Nets? I wish him the best of luck and hope he has a great career, but the Cavs have moved on without him after his inconsitent play and numerous injuries.

1. Were in unless Z or Bron go down
2. Are you guys watching boozer in the west he is ripping things up. I like goodens rebounding and shoot blocking. But he is a nut case on offense. And boozer was almost a given with a 10ft jumper.
3. Has anyone seen wagner go left this year ? I mean if i see it i know NBA teams see it. The kid is fun to watch and gives energy to offense. But he goes right every time with a floater....

1) Not yet, if we get some injuries then we won't be.
2) The people from the Magic deal are a lot better than having Battie's old ***. Still, I miss Boozer a lot. It didn't feel like he and the team parted ways, it felt like he stabbed the fans in the back too.
3) Trade him,Diop, and maybe some others for a decent guard.

o_O I don't know how the Cavs would be in the Triangle. Even if it did work, it would take way too long to adjust to and execute with it. So far, I think Silias is doing a decent job. Plus, the team isn't one of those more complete teams Phil usually goes to.

1) Rigt now I feel we are a shoe in for the playoffs unless some serious injuries happen to us like last year.
2) Screw Boozer.. we are over it.. Gooden may not be as good but he is doing one heck of a job.
3) I would try to trade Wagner right now.. No defense and defense wins ball games.

1. a lock. unless season ending injury to lebron. and even then maybe.
2. boozer. hmm. boozer. yeah, i remember him. he was that young double double machine we had at the 4 before the young double double machine we have playing the 4 now. you know, the cheaper one with the funny smile?
3. wagner has very little value in the nba at this point, and it appears the cavs have finally given up on him. i wish him well but i don't see him staying in the league long, unless the change of scenary radically adjusts his game going into his 4th season. so sad, 8th pick, c ya. keep diop though, he ain't done yet.
