Cleveland Notes
- Boobie reaggravated his left ankle in Sunday's game but will probably try to play through it. Bad news for him as a shooter, good news for us as a team since he changes our team complexion from "mediocre" to "winner". Lebron trusts him, so we all might as well accept that we should also.- Delonte's last game was his best so far, saying he played looser and not thinking so much. Regardless of whether Boobie will start or come off the bench in the playoffs, the West/Boobie backcourt tandem is absolutely critical to develop. Those 2 have extrememly high potential together. Of course this all hinges on whether Boobie plays at all, and if he does- how much his sore ankle affects his shot.
- Ben Wallace is still suffering from the bad back. He should probably sit this one out, considering he got about 4 inches of air on the alley-oop he was injured on Sunday.
- Wally's shot continues to suck, but he's working hard on defense, so still deserves time. I suppose.
- Sasha's reaction to his demotion is anyone's guess. Time to sack up Pavs.
Bobcats Notes
- I honestly don't know what to write about this team. They're not even close to making the playoffs, and their coach is on the hot seat. They have good starters, but their bench is pretty lame aside from Matt Carroll, who should be off the bench no sooner than 3rd.
- Jared Dudley has been developing but is not a game changer.
- This team was desperate enough to sign Earl Boykins. What does that tell you? Plus their coach is almost a lock to be fired. Coincidence? I think not.
Mike Brown Gameplan Keys
- Still looking for good combinations, Devin Brown seems like more of a band-aid for the starting lineup than a long-term solutions for the playoffs.- This game is also about raising our intensity level. If Boobie is out, it will be up to Mike Brown to raise our sense of urgency. If Boobie plays, I expect our killer instinct to kick in on its own.
