What? Delonte has shown throughout his whole ENTIRE career from high school, to college to the pros to be able to score in the paint when he is aggressive driving. His long jumpers and sometimes his midrange game have been erratic throughout his last couple seasons but to say he can't score is pretty ignorant.

When Delonte scores in the paint over teams like Boston and Houston (tough interior defense) then let me know.

I love Delonte but he can only attack the paint against teams like the Timberwolves, OKC, Wizards, etc.. Those are teams with no interior defense.

The fact that Delonte is undersized for the SG postion also hurts him.

Do you think Delonte will be able to score in the paint on a consistent basis when we play the Celtics, Rockets, Magic, or even the lakers (when Bynum is down low)?
Simple answer, NO.

Delonte, Mo, and Boobie are primarily shooters, if there jumpshots are off we can be in pretty big trouble.

Our bench got outplayed tonight by 29-17. Boobie couldn't shoot for his life. The reason I brought Delonte was the simple fact that we need more diversity from our bench in terms of scoring.

I would love to have G-Force on this team but his injuries and contract worry me alot.

We got no production from Boobie today off the bench and Sasha was well Sasha!!! (which is not so good). A player like G-Force coming off the bench would be great for us. He would find ways to score and definitely won't settle for jumpers. Also his defense would be good along with the intangibles that he provides.

If you were wondering why D-Wade got so many phantom calls,Bennett Salvatore was one of the refs tonight(same cat that gave him all those calls vs Dallas)

Reading this thread I wish I could give 'Negative' Thanks on some of your comments. LOL

No faith in the Cavs and complain about areas of our team before the final outcome. We are good people. We know how to win and our players make plays in support of Lebron's greatness. Everyone chipped in again in the 4th quarter in their own way.

Lebron shot 12-19 from the floor and was great all around besides his free throws. Everytime I thought he was just going to go into Superman mode because we weren't coming back or we were making mistakes, he comely just made the pass and let his teammates work things out. You have to admire his trust in his teammates.

Boobie didn't shoot well but Lebron still gave him a couple of nice passes for shots. Same with Delonte and then Delonte came through when we needed it the most. Mo was aggressive enough to not get sucked in by the Superman Lebron and played great eventhough he turned the ball over a few times in the first half.

The MVPs (besides the obvious Lebron) has to be Andy and Big Ben. They played pretty well even when playing in the game together. Anytime Andy gets in double figures will be a huge lift for us. We need that big time.

Our defense overall was pretty good and we were able to make them take long jumpers on many occassions. That obviously is not their strength with the exception of Cook. From watching the Heat on a few occassions, I have noticed they seem to be what the Cavs were before the big trade last year relying on Wade to win them their games while having some pieces to the puzzle that do not seem to fit.

We won that game because we stopped turning the ball over. We were too sloppy with the ball and didn't pass well enough at first. Those stops at the end were fantastic. Andy and Delonte Clutch. We finally woke up. Austin Car: "Now the cavs are getting back too looking like their early-season selves." Couldn't say it better myself.

I notice when we shoot badly all night, they start falling in the 4th. Good to know the averages can work in your favor sometimes.
