Game Notes​

Cavaliers have been a little disapointing since the Larry Hughes injury. We have come out flat in a lot of games this year against the less than stellar opponents so maybe now that we are playing a better team we might get a look at the real Cavaliers. Lets hope we do because this is the soft part of our schedule and we need to rack up as many wins as possible early in the year.

I believe that we will see the Cavs play with intensity early but sustaining that effort espeially on the defensive end will be key. Everyone knows that O'Neal is a talented guy and surely he should get his numbers but I believe that the key is going to be stopping Al Harrington. This guy is playing very well this year and has had a history of being somewhat of a cav killer. Keeping him from going off will be key in our victory.

We match up fairly well with this team and should be able to beat them. Inter division rivals should be taken seriously and I say that the Cavs comeout of thier slumber to dominate most of this game and win 98-89. LeBron needs to snap out of his mini funk and hit his groove cause we need him t be at th line 10 times and be shooting around 50% from the floor to be a great team and hopefully hte froncourt and bench come to play because we need them to.

If they come out and play hard the Cavs will play hard..if they dick around we'll jack 30 3's and lose...

We play only as good as our opponent..

 

[PIP]

I'm predicting a win by 13 points or more...

 

[Troy Wingate]

Cleveland has respect for Indiana. We'll win by 15+.

 

[Karma]

O'Neal will get his. Stopping players like Tinsley or Harrington going off is key.

 

[cavincali]

Pacers are a solid team, so the Cavs will actually care and compete. Thus they will win.

 

[TrueCavsFan23]

Tinsley truly scares me,he can light people up if he is ever healthy.

 

[crazedcav333]

I think Drew on Harrington will end up being the main battle. Tinsley and O'Neal will get their numbers, but Harrington was suppossed to be that key factor for them this year, but he's struggled. Don't let him score 20 while Jamal and Jermaine go for 25 each.

 

[crazedcav333]

Cavs 98 Pacers 90.

I am just hoping this new and "improved" offense tonight brings some shots inside the perimeter, and may even be aggressive enough to force contact.

 

[Ourhouse]

LeBron scores over 33 in a 97-86 win.


EDIT: LeBron just got his lunch stolen.

 

[Smooth]

I like the added effects on the dunk there by LeBron... :chuckles:

Looks like we came out to play today...

 

[Karma]

Is this the same team?

Back dominating the boards.

 

[Karma]

Cavaliers are active. Indiana look lost out there.

LeBron a different player tonight. Drew is surprisingly handling Harrington thus far. He can score on no D Al all night. Good to see Z working the defensive boards strongly.
