GAME 60 | Cavs vs. Bucks | March 4, 2009 | 7 PM

Can't take this one liightly. I don't know if anyone realizes this but the Bucks have played us tough in all 3 games.

Getting arrogant now is very dumb. I just hope our players are not like that and come out and play hard.

I want to see more of Mo and Lebron trapping opposing players with backcourt pressure. They were incredible with that against the Heat in the fourth quarter, Miami choked and couldn't do anything.

Both of them (Lebron and Mo) are incredibly fast, I was stunned when I saw them pressure the ball and get back on defense. That kills the clock and the other team can't get into its offense as quickly and doesn't have as many options becaue of the clock being down.

MB said at the beginning of the season we would do that with Mo but he stopped after a couple of games. BRING THAT BACK PLEASE!!!

Villenuava is going to be the key here. He's really been terrific for the Bucks both on the glass and becoming a prime time scorer now

should be a relatively easy win for us if we play hard.

Charlie V is someone we gotta watch out for...

But i highly doubt they can stop LBJ from playing superb in the first 3 quarters, sitting out the 4th because we will be up by 20 or so...

We need to jump on them early and keep it on, get the starters plenty of rest for Friday. If we win today and Friday, that puts us at 49-12. We should be able to beat Miami at home, and LAC, PHX, SAC on the road. If we get past that stretch (and I see no reason why we wouldn't win all those games), we'd be 53-12, with 12 home games, 5 road games left. The only road game against a very good team is Orlando (NJ, WAS, IND, PHIL the others).

Essentially what I'm getting at here is we have a very real chance at getting the #1 overall seed if we win tonight, Friday, and take care of business on the road in games we should win next week. If we can do that and hold serve at home, I can't imagine us losing more than 2 out of those final 5 road games. We'd finish 68-14.

First order of business, WIN tonight!

I predict we win big, LeBron sits out the 4th quarter and rekindles he and Joe Smith's relationship at the end of the bench.

Welcome aboard the best Cavaliers site on the net... you'll be happy to know that LA/Boston/NY trolls are quickly kicked out of here when they make their presence known.

I dont think cavs need smith for this game either. It would be great to see him sitting with his street clothes. It would be great if someone caught him celebrating with the other bench if someone made a really nice play. That would make him so much welcome if he could celebrate like wally. Plus, he is more important for the game on Friday.

Nice Cudi shout out (as I'm listening to him right now)....Too bad that Joe isn't gonna play this week, its fine though we should give the guy a little rest before we throw him into the lineup of a CONTENDER.

O.k..not to play the revenge card..but the Cavs need to kick the crap outta the bucks..and if I were Z..I WOULD PLACE A well timed elbow into Charlie V' s mug..he needs a good physical beating .
