Game 3 | Cavs @ Hornets Nov. 1st, 8:00PM (ET)

[crazedcav333]

Objective # 1-19 - Contain Chris Paul.
Objective #20 - establish an offensive post game early on.

Let's see if LBJ can crack 30 for the first time this season.

I want to thank Rimange for the great graphics and bringing out the pic of Lumberjack Z.

I seem to recall the last time we played the Hornets was a loss with a David West jumper. Now add that team with experience together and Mo Williams and we can get the W. We also need to take into account Boobie's play, because if he's putting up 20+ points again we'll be in very good shape. Lebron will be Lebron, but our supporting cast is going to have to step it up here too.

Get puMped fans!

a very tough match-up....but with defense like this we can win....if we win this I say we have the #2 seed & we are a better team than i thought

does anyone know where i can find or can give me a link to the cavs team picture(with the current roster on it)????????????????????

We can get the W if we make CP3 a scorer first. he is deadly but he likes to create for others. Making him make his shot's are the best thing we can do to slow down this New Orleans offense. their D will take a hit because of chandler, but don't underestimate the perimiter defenders. LBJ should be a distributer and hit some FT's.

Going to miss this game due to a Bucks show. Thankfully it isn't a Milwaukee Bucks show as that would be torture.

Big challenge for Mo tonight!

This'll be the game where LeBron will explode and take over. Charlotte has no answer for him.

you mean new orleans. but yeah, Charlotte doesn't have an answer for him either

 

[Cavatt]

I saw the game they had against phoenix. They looked really good. Their defense was stifling, and they closed out on guys in the paint. They are so fast, even more than the Celtics, that they get out to the perimeter before you can get a three. The turnovers in that game came, because they got everyone out of the areas where they are most comfortable. They are gonna be really tough. If the Cavs can shut some of their scoring, and focus on defense, then we have a shot. I think it is going to be several games before we are really gelling.

lebron,mo,boobie have to explode....Z has to get in this game whether its shooting or rebounding.....the shooters have to shoot(wally,west,pav)

 

[liquidfire]

anyone think we should play dwest one cp3? hes long and big to disrupt him. just have mo stay infront of mo pete.

 

[Mr. Glass]

i hope peja plays, he would be guarding lebron and well...we'll see how that turns out

We were going to see a heavy dosage of Posey on LeBron either way. But Peja has a very good knack for getting open off of screens. and who are we going to put on him? Certainly not Mo or Delonte, he can post them up. Not Ben or Z. They're too slow and we don't need to wear them out like that. That leaves LeBron, and we especially don't need to exhaust him chasing around Peja. He can handle guarding Posey who is more or less just a spot up shooter.

I for one am I glad we don't have to see Peja and likely Chandler.

 

[Radar]

i think pav should start??? we need height & for someone to guard peja

 

[CBBI]

Peja lit us up for 25 and Chandler got a double double when we played them late last year.

As far as I'm concerned, both of them can just go ahead and sit this one out. I personally don't believe in the "playing someone at full strength to get their best effort" ideology. All I want is to win as many games as possible and try and shoot for the #1 seed and homecourt throughout the playoffs.

 

[Mdog1]

I'm with you CBBI. And don't worry Karma i'm missing the game to man it sucks. The satelite showed yesterday that it was playing then Bam today it isn't on. Oh well I get Wednesdays game.
