The game tonight was ridiculous

i'm sure that we can easily acquire either mike james from toronto or maurice williams from milwauke. those teams are going nowhere and will probably give us those players for a second round draft pick.

The Bucks are the 7th seed in the east, and are having difficulties with an injured Ford. Once he is fully back, they will be back to willing a good percentage.

Toronto is 11-9 since starting the season 1-15. They are only 5 1/2 games back from the last playoff spot in the east.

Neither is giving up their point guard, especially not to the Cavs. Our best shot at gettign a decent PG is by dealing Gooden. But, alas, that is unlikely to happen. Ferry is going with a mantra of patience. One that, IMO, is correct. We all knew, or should have known, that there would be a period of the season like this....and there will be in the future. Larry Hughes is injury prone. He always has been, and most likely always will be. part of what we were trading in for defense and more well rounded play with Hughes was a dozen or so healthy games with Redd, Allen, and Johnson.

Personally, I want to see the more of Jackson or Pavlovic (if healthy). Luke, from the games I have watched, seems to respond to extended minutes. When h is getting less minutes, he seems to press...and get yanked. When he is allowed minutes he does things that no one on the roster does: Cut to the basket when the ball is in the post; Move without the ball; bring energy.

The other night Jackson brought energy to a loss against houston. They played their best ball (IMO) when he was on the floor. He made mistakes, yes, but he also woke the other players up by hustling. They actually were competive for all 4 minutes he was in the game.

It seems Cleveland fans demand that every player be an All-star on every given night.

This is a BULL**** statement. The problem is that Cleveland fans expect players to give their best.

Are you trying to tell me that DJ can't stay in front of ANY player in the NBA? Are you telling me he can't stop his man from going to the basket ONCE a GAME!? If that is the case we WAY OVERPAID him. Jeezus, you have to at least IMPEDE the progress of your man a LITTLE! I don't expect him to lock down players, but how about giving them a direction change at least? He is giving ZERO effort on D, and deserves all the boos he gets. if Coach Brown can't see that, or doesn't have the balls to pull him then he's just as deserving of the boos.

AV isn't all-star calibre but he gets cheers all the time. Why? Because he gives 110%. Remember Tyrone Hill? He was a prick. But the fans cheered for him. Why? Because he busted his ASS every night. Drew Gooden isn't the GREATEST, but he gets a pass because he is busting his dumb ass. Charlie Frye had no better results than any other QB we've had since the return of the Browns. He is popular because he puts himself on the line.

Cleveland fans LOVE their teams, EVEN if they are CRAPPY, as long as they are doing the BEST that THEY can do. That's all that is asked. Some of these CAVS are not giving their best. Not just one night. GAME AFTER GAME

then we should stop signing talented players who don't give 110% and sign a bunch of scrubs who don't belong in pro basketball, but who try hard every night. that way the fans will not boo and cause the cavs to lose.

I dont agree with that...people booed Ricky Davis and he played harder than any player thats put on a Cavs uni in the last ten years.
