Game 17| Cavs @ Bucks, Saturday Nov. 29th- 9pm [ET]

[Zog]

Damn, the ESPN box score had 17 minutes after the score went final. Anyways, thanks for the heads up, I corrected my stats.

I've noticed that right after the game ends, the box score reverts back to some previous time in the game, not sure if it's halftime, end of the 3rd, or when it is, but the stats will be all messed up for a few minutes until it is update.

Did anyone see the white pimp in the red pimp suit and hat behind the Cavs bench? :chuckles:

Pics or shens.

Also, does anyone have any clips of Lebron wearing the headband around his eyes? I am SO making that my avatar ...

I looked but couldn't find any pics. He was about two rows up behind the middle of the Cavs bench. lol :chuckles:.

I don't know why LeBron doesn't drive to the hoop everytime. He's unstoppable.

I wonder this to myself every time we are losing or LeBron is having an off night.

My 2 favorite parts of the game: Sasha's D was great on Redd, and who didn't love the 6 step no call travel on Z for the fast break lay in? :chuckles:

Great effort to escape after the 4 game in 5 days stretch. Blowing out the previous games gave our key guys rest and a little in the tank to pull it out.

Again Ilgauskas was ridiculously efficient and dominating his opposite once more.

LeBron certainly wasn't at his best but he turned it on to get us over the line.

Sasha played great defense. No surprise as he's done that all season, just everyone's to busy hating. He's actually 40% from the outside thus far this year.

Cannot complain about this team one bit right now.

I was wondering when MB would realize that Redd was absolutely destroying Gibson and put in Sasha for defense. Boobie does fine against opposing PG's and bench SGs, but Redd was not really in that category. I'm not sure why Delonte wasn't tried, he seems to be fine against taller guards, able to make it up with quickness or hustle. Good all around effort, I was wondering how the team would respond to a non-blowout game, and I'll take Lebron playing 42 minutes tonight saying he hadn't seen a 4th quarter in 3 of 4 in the 4 in 5.

I think the headband thing was lebron just showing up the refs, the game was over at that point, but there were lots of terrible calls, both ways. I think the Cavs mighta got the better of it in the 1st half, but there were some bad ones all around: 1) Z's "fast break" 2) tip ball off Andy that I dont think RJ touched 3) block called on andy when he had his back turned and was standing still then RJ steamrolls his backside 4) Boobie getting mauled by RJ for a "block" (his hand got all ball, but the body contact wasnt subtle). There were many more. Now I dont know how many calls Lebron can expect to get going one on 4, but he was fouled, and just wanted to show it

I think Mike Brown just went with the hot defensive hand in Sasha rather than possibly breaking up that defensive momentum bringing in Delonte. It turned out to be the right move as the Cavs won.

For Whom the Bell Tolls:

- Tonight is 14th time in which Ben Wallace has recorded 10 or more rebounds, while logging 23 minutes or less.

I think this is very impressive.

Was Delonte hurt or something? I still don't understand why Boobie played so many minutes in the second half.

Good to see Sasha hit some 3's and play solid defense. Had his classic charge TO as well but hopefully he'll continue this Bruce Bowen imitation. If all he does on offense is sit and the corner and be able to hit a 3 pointer w/o trying to do anything else, Brown will be more then happy to give him minutes with his defense

Mike Brown going with the hot defensive hand. Brown could have given Boobie's minutes to Delonte but Delonte had already played basically the whole 3rd quarter.
