Questions for Brian Windhorst

[moohead]

I'm putting this thread up before the Wednesday show with Brian. Leave questions for me and Brian here. I'd like to have LOTS of input from you guys so these types of things will be more frequent during the season. Do your best to pitch in!!!

hmmmmmmm........brain.........thinking............

Yo Brian! I appreciate the inside info you give us Cavs fans in your columns! How close are you with the players, and do you got any funny stories you would like to share as a Cavalier Insider?

 

[highplainsdrifter]

(please ask this question Dirty Harry style, (or not)) What do you think of moohead? Have you listened to his great work? Do you think he has Mad Cow Disease?

 

[highplainsdrifter]

Some say the Cavalier Girls are too 'risque'. What is your opinion on this matter? I for one LOVE IT! Hott Girls and Cavalier Ball are like PB & J!

 

[Glen Infante]

Bump.

Luke/Sasha situation: How does Sasha look in practice? Is he making progress to move up in the rotation, or gain some minutes for an extra bout?

Martynas Andriuskevicius: Is he practicing? Or injured? How much of a chance does he have to crack a few garbage minutes this season?

Wilks: How good of a shooter is he? I saw him hit an open trey last night, does he do that consistently? We'll need him in D.Jones' absence, will he be able to handle that?

Any prospects for next year's draft? Are we going big or small?

Any truth to the rumors of Elden Campbell possibly jumping on the Cavs train towards the end of the season?

Trade rumors?

Moohead- I haven't been able to listen live, but I like the archived podcasts. Moo!

Questions for "Brain" Windhorst-
1. How is Damon Jones' ankle, and do you ever get to talk to Max Benton about player injuries?

2. Is Luke Jackson as tentative to shoot in practice as he was in the Celtics game? And does he realize the 15-18 foot jumper is as good a weapon to have as the 3-pointer? (We know his "sweet spot" is the 3 from the wing, and he goes out of his way too often to get there. His release and arc are beautiful...is he working on any other sweet spots to add to his arsenal?)

3. Did anyone suspect Larry Hughes would be *this* integral to the team on offense *this* fast? (His ability to slip through screens, his no-look bounce passes, his speed on the fast break, his ability to hit the 3 even though he was the least-considered marksmen out of the 4 Big Free Agent shooting guards)

1) How do you think the Cavs match up with Detroit, Miami (with Shaq) and Indianapolis specifically, and how will the return of AV affect that? If Garnett winds up in Indiana what impact will that have?

2) Why do the Cavs appear to struggle on the road, and what is it going to take to improve there?

3) Cleveland has been the subject of the least number of trade rumors of any NBA team other than the Spurs, since Jones was signed in the offseason. Does the Cavs management feel we have the horses to finish the year?

By the way, your reporting on the team is by far the best and most accurate.

From his blog...

If you have some time this afternoon, you can check me out on Kenny Roda (WKNR 850-AM) in the 4 o'clock hour, I think it is at 4:10 but I could be wrong. Also, at 5 p.m. I'm doing a live chat/Internet radio broadcast at realcavsfans.com. I'll be driving towards Indy, so come and keep me company.

Haha!!!! Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Funny. No one will admit to being on "Moohead Radio". Can't blame em. It's a credibility issue.

BTW, nothing was funnier than hearing Hanford Dixon talking about Mr Moohead on sports talk network.

Hearing any former athlete say "Moohead" is still the best.

Moo

 

[cavincali]

here we go, got a question you have to discuss

do you think the cavs will score 130-140 points in one game, without overtime. it might seem to be a stretch but it seemed that the cavs didnt shoot the ball that well, .445%, yet they still put up 115 against the celts.

 

[Karma]

How is Damon Jones's ankle? Was he applying any pressure to Mike Brown to insert him into the starting five?

Is Luke Jackson intrenched into the rotation, or will Sasha Pavlovic be given an opportunity soon?

An further updates on Anderson Varejao?

Chances of Ilgauskas and Hughes appearing in the allstar game along with James?

 

[Maximus]

I think I know the answer, but, do you think Luke Jackson is being "showcased"? Sasha has been completely glued to the bench. Even when the Cavs have gigantic leads he will only get in for the last couple garbage minutes. Considering Sasha had a solid lead on Luke coming into the season, considering Sasha has been shooting the ball better than Luke, considering that Sasha is an overall better athlete than Luke, considering Sasha is younger and has 2 more years NBA experience than Luke, and considering that Sasha has never had major back suregery, isn't the only explanation for Luke getting all the minutes that they are "showcasing" him?
I think you know my opinion.LOL

1) How were the other Cavs responding to DJones' media blackout?

2) Just read your blog on Artest; I agree he's a big challenge, of the personal variety, for Lebron this Thursday. What do you think James has to do to break Ronnie down? Besides thumping him on the head once or twice?

3) "Moo" for us. C'mon, nice and loud....
