Re: Cavs vs Hawks - Feb 8th - 7:30PM EST
It's true that with Lebron we stand a chance against most teams in the league. We had mostly scrubs out there tonight and we still one. Not all due to Lebron of course, people stepped up really well. But I feel confident anytime he's out there on the court.

Exactly right. Lebron makes everything look so easy - that's when you know you're good

Wasn't Larry 4-7 at the half? He finished 5-16  Missed the play he got hurt - was it serious?

As much as we congratulate Lebron on this one. You have to tip your cap to Mike Brown takes a real coach to think of lineup and things to do with all your talent in dress clothes on the sideline. and a back to back
And a round of applause for Newble and Snow (defense on JJ)

Honestly it is all due to Lebron. Did you see how the Hawks had to defend late in the game? They were literally leaving 2 of our players wide open to trap him at halfcourt.
No one else in the league draws that kind of defense.

Yeah you're right. I have to give credit for people hitting wide open shots, but most college players should be able to do that. Lebron really is our entire offense. Crazy.
We're so lucky.

I agree. Mike Brown is earning my respect as a coach.
For what he has to work with, he has done a helluva job.

Just got home and I'm watching the game now. I'm glad the Cavs won this one and I'll keep watching.

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

^ I couldn't help laughing about the Gooden part of your post.
One last additional point, If Larry could hit wide open jumpers in the game we'd be the best team in the league

I missed the game. Anyone want to give me a synopsis? Larry got hurt again? How many players do we have left to play?

would you believe any of us if we told you that the game was won because of eric snow and ira newble? and it involves the two of them putting in significant on court minutes, not just quality cheering from the sidelines
