There will be a few nervous media guys and fellow Eastern teams watching this display.

well now... this was unexpected... what a night from larry

I'm dreaming of a Gibson, Sasha, LeBron, Varejao, Ilgauskas starting five with Drew and Larry giving us the punch from the bench.

For now, I'll take some W's.

Varejao is 100% at the line this season!

 

[wuck]

i'm glad to see the cavs perform at a high-level without needing 45 minutes (or 40 points) from lebron. the broad distribution of minutes to the top 10 guys tonight is ideal for the long run. i know it won't be like this always, or even in the next game, but it's still great for a night.

wow now this is impressive

Andy looks a touch slower, but he still has the same instincts.

Super first effort are such a long layoff.

Great performance.

Anybody else catch Asdrubal Cabrera walking towards the Cavs lockerroom as FSN cut away right there?

Nice to see the Cavs perform this way again. Hopefully there's a lot more of this to come with the roster back to full strength. The Pacers aren't exactly the best defensive team in the NBA so that brings some caution.

Hughes takes a lot of abuse but he's played well in these past 2 games. Great game tonight.

Not sure why LeBron wasn't in the starting lineup but that will change Friday.

Varejao looked a little slow but not too bad. I think it's easier for a player like him to come back after a long layoff because his game doesn't rely on skill.

Looks like Dwayne Jones and Devin Brown will lose their minutes which is fine with me.

Apparently they didn't want AV to be booed so they had James come in at the same time.

Not sure why it hasn't been mentioned, but Devin has been playing injured for a month now.

Nice to see we are off the schnide.

He played 22mins. The balance of minutes was crazy tonight - 10 players played between 19-28mins. ESnow was high minute man with 28.:chuckles:

Makes sense then why his play has dropped off lately after a solid early start. I hadn't read anything about him being injured. He still can have a role here but right now other players at his positions are doing a better job.

They haven't made it public yet, not sure why. Maybe now that everyone is back they'll give him a break. He's one of the toughest guys on the team by far.
