Game #37 | Hawks @ Cavaliers | Wednesday, January 9th, 2013 - 7:00 PM EST

Funny that this was our best game of the season and quite possibly the shortest game thread of the season.

Also because it was a short game. Very few timeouts or fouls, the clock just kept ticking.

I watched the game via hawks broadcast. Their commentators said Zeller looks like a scared child out there.

Blunt, yet accurate unfortunately.

Awesome win. They finished very strong which was the best part of it.

 

[CleveRocks]

That should be a morale booster for the team. We played well without Andy, against a Hawks team which has not been awful. Livingston has some veteran game. I like him on the floor better than Luke. I know some were on Zeller for soft play, but he doubled up, and went 5-6 from the stripe. We have not had a Big that could drain free throws like that in a while.

I know how you feel. I moved to Charlotte last summer and the new post-lockout schedule had two Bobcats games in Cleveland and only one in Charlotte, and it was in the middle of the afternoon on MLK day so I had to use a vacation day to see it.

Then this year they boned me again because the second Cavs/Bobcats game here is the last fucking game of the season, which means there's a good chance Irving won't be playing.

Wait...why? It's not like we'll be resting him for the playoffs...

Zeller had one of his better games in awhile. He was still a complete mess at times, but not all the time.

I am liking how Kevin Jones plays decently without a great deal of mistakes. He knows his role, focuses on it. If he get stronger, maybe he'll be able to contribute something down the road. He is going to get a lot of opportunity for minutes--more than he could have imagined at the start of the year when he was cut and in the D-League. Byron is giving him a serious chance and rewarded him with 20+ minutes tonight.

Because we'll have packed it in for the season.

Yea I have to say I liked what Jones brought, at least compared to Walton. That said, I'm not sure I still wouldn't play Walton over Casspi. I'd like to see Gibson come back and play with Livinston to see how that looks. Good passer being paired up with Gibson has been extremely rare in the last few seasons. Might turn our bench into something respectable.

And this was Zeller's best game in a while. He was still soft as paper on defense, especially at the start of the third, but he moved well on offense and made FTs, which he NEEDS to do to be effective. He's not gonna do to much finishing through contact right now. He has to make his FTs.

 

[MGMT]

Yeah, he he (Zeller) looks hesitant at times also. To be honest it seems like he is too nice down low. I think in addition to being strong, he needs to be more rude.

By the way zaza is a trolling cocksucker.

Josh is coming to Cleveland. He helped Kyrie up when he fell.

He better be coming fairly cheap. He's like an older version of Tristan Thompson, only still thinks he can shoot.

That's really not his game. At all

Yes, he also takes tons and tons of jump shots and kills his team's offense with them.

 

[BobQCarter]

Was at the game. Kevin Jones stuck out to me as well, most notably his help defense on the pick and roll was solid and his long arms helped him disrupt a couple shots on close outs.

This game is going up there with the Clippers game as one of the gems during this rough season.

Sorry, I forgot my /sarcasm tag. my bad. People are often analyzing little shit and they feel that it's indicative of bigger things so I thought I would make a joke of it.

I'm still working out the kinks of these e-jokes.

Am I again missing something about the statement you commented on...since when does one player helping another player directly means that he is coming over to the team?
