Game 2 | Cavaliers vs Raptors | October 28, 2009 | 7:00 PM EST

The only answer is to trade Z for Jack. Then start shaq at 5, moon at 4, lebron at 3 ,jack at 2, and mo at 1. 4 perimeter players and a big.That's the only way we can play.Then if you do come across a team with a 4 that moon and lebron can't check, then and only then do you play andy and shaq.But we have to go Orlando style, a center and 4 perimeter players.

Trouble is, if we go Orlando style how would we match up against Boston or LA?

Tell me that. We saw what LA did to Orlando. Our team isn't meant to live and die by the three pointer, we have a foundation laid out, why change it now after 2 games? I swear Cleveland fans have the biggest knee-jerk reactions of any fans in the world. Ridiculous.

Honestly, the NBA can go fuck themselves.

After a dismal training camp filled with distractions and setbacks(flu, etc), we get the Celtics and the new-look Raptors(on their home opener) on a back to back.

Oh well, at least we get to run train on the Wolves tomorrow.

 

[Shaqtus]

Yea, if anything facing the T-Wolves will get everything and build confidence and hopefully wreck them like Boston did to Charlotte last night.

A lot of people (including myself) said similar things about Toronto. I don't want to be too over confident, but I don't want to sound like I've given up hope either. Let's just say we're going to play the Bobcats on Saturday.

I expect to hear some good things out of you once we win the next 2 games Make that good things IN THE FUTURE.

 

[BigErieCavsFan]

Most blame the Toronto loss on MB.
Some think it was Shaq, LBJ or Z.


But the real one to blame?...

I got a real bad feeling about this one...

All Max needed to say was I got a real good feeling about this one. And we would have won by 10 instead of losing by 10.

JK, nice call max...

I really, really, don't like our team with Shaq. We give him too many touches, we try to implement him on every single play.

Not to mention, who in the blue hell is running our offense? It sucks!

I disagree, i don't think he's getting enough touches. There's no reason not to force feed him last night against the Raps and their lightweight frontcourt. But instead shaq gets 12 shots against a small lineup and mo, boobie, ap go 12/36 (only saving grace for the trio is the fact they went 8/15 from three). I realize you don't run the offense through him, but to continually have him 25 feet away from the basket setting screens make no sense at all. Ive mentioned before that Av and Z should be setting the screens for obvious reasons.AV because he excels at rolling to the hoop, Z because of his pick and pop potential. This leaves two shooters behind the 3pt line and a hell of a decision whether to attack lebron off the pick and roll and give a dunk to shaq or stay back and give up a dunk to 'Bron. Bron has no options right now except to go to the hole when shaq sets the screens because shaq is not rolling with him to the hoop(shaqs fault).
