Cleveland lost yet again but at least not without a fight in Philly. Every game from this point on is basically must-win, especially with Cleveland not owning the tie-breaker. Joe Smith is expected to miss this game and if I can remember right, he’s had some good games against the Cavs in the past. The Cavs are marginal in the paint without Z, so whenever another team is missing a big themselves, it helps a bit. Sasha should suit up and give it a go tonight after hurting his ankle in Philly.



LeBron leads the charge as usual with Gooden followingly from behind. Who else will step up?

definitely a must win...especially since right now it is vince carter: 24 vs. boston :19 at the end of the first quarter, we need this to keep some distance between us and new jersey

NJ beetch-slapping the C's right now by 18.... NJ is really playing well, and Carter and Kidd have worked it out between them. This is what Philly could do if C-Webb stayed healthy and had time with AI. And it just further supports that LeBron needs another stud team-mate (and good tho he is, Z is not a stud)

Let's face it, if the Cavs lose this game, they don't deserve to be in the playoffs.

Hell when you lose 14 of your last 15 road games, which we have done, you don't really deserve to make the playoffs..

Must win if there ever was one. We gotta win the rest of our home games and win at least one more road game and I think that'll be enough to get 7th or 8th spot. Time to change my avatar back to Bron for some good luck.

Gooden again getting it done. Bron/AV/Gooden should be a strong part of our core in the future.

Cavs end 1st qtr strong up 31-24

End of 1st
Bucks - 24
Cavaliers - 31

Mason had a hot start but 2 of his baskets were aided by terrible Cavalier pick-and-roll defense (the dunk over AV and the baseline jumper). The second man off the ball needs to step up earlier to help. This quarter seemed like dunk fest. Defense for both teams was lacking, thus you had nice finishes in the lane. Nice to see AV in the game early. He did a nice job in the opening quarter. Gooden started out hot on the Cavs’ side. He’s been James’ second helper as of late.

Jmac actually doing a good job pushing the tempo tonight.

A decisive victory would be way nice for picking up team morale at home. Just saying.

James in the zone again from 3, 25 already in the half (four 3's). When his jumper is on, it's pretty amazing.
