Haha, mine just goes upstairs and watches TV up there.

She says she can't watch Cavs games with me anymore because I get too emotional and enraged over them. Hahahaha

Subtle way the lack of bigs cost us. Lebron was definitely shading downlow more then usual to get boards and protect the interior: this led to Battier getting some easy looks

Yeah, this is definitely not the normal Cavs team, especially on the glass where we're usually dominant. We just didn't have the guys in there to do it tonight.

That's too much to ask of Lebron. Your basically asking him to cover the boards, score 30 points, be our lock down 4th qtr defender, and create every shot we get in the halfcourt.

I'm pretty sure that's what is going to be asked of him if we are to have any shot at winning these games before the all-star break.

Unfortunately.

You know. If we traded for Jason kidd, he averages like 8 rebounds per game...

Damn you guys do numbers for every game thread, if only the Grizz board could come close.

Re: Cavs vs Rockets - TNT 8PM EST - Feb 7th

It's weird how I just felt like Lebron had a really bad game tonight. One of the least impressive games of the year.

Then I look at the box score and he's got 32 points on 12/23 shooting (52%), 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. I guess he's just set a new standard or something, because I didn't feel like he played all that well tonight.

Yeah, we have a really good group of posters on the Cavs forum. Really active guys here.

That's odd cause I thought he was mediocre also.

I really think Lebron can put up numbers like that in his sleep. If he was really playing at the top of his ability you don't see him settle for that fadeaway on Shane Battier when we were down 6, he doesn't go under so many screens, he gets double digit rebs, etc.

Of course that's also an indictment of his supporting cast right now when you expect one guy to produce 40/10/10 type numbers night in night out.

Re: Cavs vs Rockets - TNT 8PM EST - Feb 7th

I do agree that Lebron didn't play as good as he could have. He didn't seem to have a lot of energy out there: we need either more hecklers or somebody to put a muzzle on these parties that are occuring the day before games.

That being said lebron found some wide open people tonight. I mean guys had about 4 seconds to put up a shot and we bricked a bunch of them. Would have been a whole different game if those three's went in and w/o the PF's we need those outside jumpers too fall

Yeah I seem to remember complaining all night about guys not being able to hit shots.

There were A LOT of WIDE OPEN shots tonight off of Lebron's passes, and the rest of the team shot 19-55!!! That's terrible!

We just need guys who can hit shots, to be honest. We only have 2 good shooters on this team. Heck Donyell is supposed to be a 3 point specialist and he's mediocre at them at best. And that's really all he does. We are just in a bad situation as far as shooters goes. Bibby here we come! Or Mike Miller! Please!
