I'm surprised Welsh isn't flourishing with this team. He did better with the Celtics, and that was with Paul Pierce of all players.

AV not playing more Trackless is a sin. I hope Silas didn't play him because he wasn't well conditioned/injured for tonight's game, because there's no other reason that I can think of for him not to put AV on the court over Trackless.

But on the other hand i dont understand Tractor in for so long. But maybe their are other reasons we as FANS dont know about. Could AV be tired and not back in shape, could he be tired b/c its his first back to back game since his return. Could Tractor be well rested since he didnt play much against Utah.

Yes the rotations versus the Jazz were great and it was a blowout win. But people can we understand we were at home, well rested and the Jazz are TERIBBLE. We go on the road, tired, and against a very good team when they are on. And tonight they were on.

Could Silas help that Redd was ripping our best wing defender in Newble, or that Z was in big time foul trouble. He also couldnt take out lebron who looked flat late in the 2nd and end of the 3rd.

I mean you guys are all hating on Silas but he is a players coach. The players seem to respect him and play well together. And those two things you dont see around the leauge. He is a 2nd half coach (meaning 2nd half of season), and people dont forget he is turning a team with 17 wins just 2 years ago into a 4th seed playoff contender. And all we did is add Jeff M. ( which every hates on this board ) and lose Boozer.

He might love his vets but maybe he is trying to show a point to the young guys. GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ***. Every since Newble return Sasha has shown nothing off the bench and Jiri a big fat ZERO. I will admit i hate seeing Harris out there, but he was deep on thebench for the awhile and maybe it woke him up as well.

??????????????????

Look I respect any Cavs fans opinion. But can you atleast acknowledge that Snow has clearly outplayed Jeff McInnis? Again over the last three games by my rough estimate when you minus Snow's +/- with Jeff's +/- it totals a ridiculous +50-60 in Snow's favor. Regardless of any other move Silas has to get Snow more minutes and earlier in the game as well.

This is my problem with that LBJ to LBJ. We don't have the kind of firepower or the cushion for Silas to play favorites at this time of the season. You go with your best 8-9 players, stick to a SOLID rotation, and roll with it. We're not going to win every game, but we shouldn't be having musical chairs with the lineups every night and playing people like Harris and Traylor a combined 33 minutes.

Drew Gooden gets 14pts, 7 rebounds, 3assists and only plays 25 minutes, while Traylor logs 23 and gets 2pts 4rebs 1 assist??? What sense does that make? EVERYTIME AV plays he makes positive things happen and he only logs 14 minutes? That's ridiculous. Split Traylor's 23 minutes up to Gooden and AV and we would be much better off.

And if your gonna dump 1st round draft picks on guys like Sasha and Jiri, play them please. We are obviously going nowhere with Harris so it doesn't pay to leave him in there. He can't defend, penetrate, hell he hasn't made more than one 3 in a game all season! Harris had his opportunity to start, put him on the end of the bench where he belongs.

It's not just my opinion either, the numbers show it as well. Varejao has the 2nd highest +/- on our team behind James and it's not a coincidence (While Traylor has a roland rating of -3.2, nearing Diop territory). There is no excuse not playing him as the primary back up big man behind Z/Gooden, and alongside them as much as possible.

I agree with the point on putting in Snow over Jeff M. Snow looked great in their when we had our comeback in the 2nd quarter. But what has Jiri showed on the floor, if your an NBA player their isnt much to learn in a system. Play D, Hit open shots, Find Lebron James.

Hopefully Luke Jackson will become healthy........
