TCF's Keys To The game
*Keep Varejao in mainly when Sheed is in the game,he disrupts him a lot and he doesn't like Anderson really at all

*PUSH,PUSH,PUSH... They don't have a bench really at all...tire their guys out and win with our depth

*This is a game where I believe Larry needs to be fed the ball early to get him going and let the team feed off of that

*Use the crowd to advantage,we usually always do but this is our first game against them since our game 7 loss

*Attack the basket,I don't care if they have Nazr...he doesn't imtimidate people like Big Ben


Final Notes

This is a huge rivalry now,play like it is.This game is nationally televised and now show the world like we did to Chicago that we are the strongest in the Central

Prediction:Cavs win 97-91

Here's hoping the Pistons are complacement going into a game against one of the most out of form teams in the NBA.

Nostalgic Cavs magic...

"Tonight we're gonna take no prisoners, this time we're gonna live our dream.
Tonight the orange and blue delivers. Hard working town, hard working team...
Whoa, tonight we're gonna take it.
And the Cavs are gonna make it.
Get behind the orange and blue--with all your mi-ight!
CAVS! Cavs basketball, tonight's the night
Whoaa Whoaaa Whoaaa Whoaaaaa...c'mon Cavs!!!!!"

This has become one of the most heated rivalries of today has it not?

LBJ goes for 33, Hughes for 23. Rasheed gets shot in the face with a bow-n-arrow from Loudville. Cavs win 99-95

We need this one.

Hearing that song again made me feel like I was back at the old Coliseum in Richfield. I loved how they used to play it right before introducing the starting lineups back in the day.

I'm ready for some home cooking, as our takeaway on the road is giving me heart problems.

We got Marv Albert tonight!!!!!!!

I would love nothing more than to stab Drew Gooden in the eyes while his eyes were open... Not that it would make a difference...

Keep ****ing feeding Z. Need some rotations on these pick'n'rolls. Hughes was way to slow earlier.

 

[crazedcav333]

Z faked out Rasheed....that made my night for about an hour.

LBJ needs to stay active.

Ilgauskas the point center tonight. Some crazy ass passes.
