Cavs @ Detroit 7:30PM FSOhio WTAM 1100

[Benedict_Boozer]

LeBron 6'8 265
Rip 6'6 193

The fact that Rip has been guarding him all night should be a slap in the face...

The fact that James has yet to post him up, or recieve the ball within 10 feet of the basket is just disrespectful to a basketball purist such as myself. I wouldnt want one of my teams to watch this team play right now.

This is on the coaching staff IMO. If Lebron doesn't like posting up, too bad call plays that forces him to play down there.

 

[CavsRules]

What system

Just what I was about to say..

 

[FlightNo.23]

LeBron's gonna finish with a triple-dub and we are taking back the fourth quarter

Go Cavs!

 

[Pioneer10]

The refs might as well have told the Cavs to stay home today. If you're going to be this obvious in terms of one-sided bullshit at least save the players the risk of injury

 

[Benedict_Boozer]

Joe Smith - wow I guess Mike B. realized he is still on the team

Why exactly does he ride so much pine?

 

[CavsRules]

Joe Smith comes in - scores.

Why he didn't play a single minute in the first half blows my mind.

We need Wally World to start rubbing his Wally buddah so he can make a bunch of shoots in the 4th and bring the Cavs a W.

 

[Benedict_Boozer]

Hmm the Pistons are hacking

I might consider pulling Lebron and Z if we can't make a run early in the 4th. Not worth the injury risk

 

[redscoon]

Cavs would be losing regardless, but this is one of the worst reffed game I've seen. So many blatant fouls that affected the outcomes of plays that were ignored. Lebron got fouled numerous times in the 1st half on shots. Ben was clearly hit on his oop and knocked off the ball.

These refs should be nowhere near an NBA playoff game. Big difference between letting the players play and tossing the rulebook out of the window.

 

[CavsRules]

At least we got to 50 points, thought we'd settle on 40-45...

 

[highplainsdrifter]

IMO the refs aren't to blame. Mike Brown should be questioned for sure. I'll be happy if we hit 70 points. I'm really curious how MB will explain this loss to the media. I question whether he has the skills to be a championship caliber coach.

 

[Clevelandfan15]

here an interesting number from this game so far Jones Sasha and Wally all have 0 3pt attemps tonight and Gibson only has 1...cant win win our 3pt shooters cant get looks.

I question whether he has the skills to be a championship caliber coach.

I questioned this on this very site in December of 2005...:chuckles:

 

[Benedict_Boozer]

Pull Lebron. This is a waste and we have a back to back.

Mike B will say his usual "We didn't bring it defensively" and avoid discussing offense entirely
