Game 56 | Bobcats vs. Cavaliers | February 19, 2010 | 7:00 EST

Giving up 110 points is just an embarrassment. The Cavs really need to start playing defense again or we will never win a championship.

I guess the only thing that I didn't like about MB was the fact that Mo sat out so much of the fourth.

I agree on the first point. The team as a whole has to get back to playing defense. Also sure that they will. I just hope they get it together soon.

Mo was on a minutes limit for the Denver game, which I expect was still in place for the back-to-back vs. Charlotte.

i don't think there needs to be any concern about Delonte's availability (at least when it comes to the court date; it will get a continuance into the summer, or he has the dumbest lawyer of all time). The question is how much Brown wants to shuffle his starting lineup,with Mo working his way back, and Parker/Hickson as question marks. I don't have a problem with Delonte coming off the bench if he plays more minutes and gets in more time with Mo/etc. I think that will happen once the rotations settle and Mo starts to play around 40mpg again. More of the minutes Delonte plays then will be with Mo by default. We're in an awkward period of transition at several positions right now with the flux resulting from Jamison, Z, Mo, and Delonte -- basically 4 out of 5 positions are not exactly what we expect they will be later.

The arrogance of the Cavs fan base is what astounds me. In the Tyrus Thomas thread, two posters were insistent that the Cavs would sweep the Cats in a playoff series and none of the games would be close. Whatever. This is a nightmare match-up for them if they meet.

Does anyone else think Delonte and Moon need their minutes to go up?

Just an awkward game last night. I don't want to say I expected 0-12, but I DEFINITELY did not expect Jamison to go for like 30 points and 10 rebounds. He is for sure not unaware of the fact people label him as the "missing piece", Mo even called him the missing piece on Twitter. He just needs to settle in. Sure this loss is a little concerning but a nice little down to earth whack could be a good thing.

Yeah, I think Jamison played a little too long yesterday

26 minutes is long? He had to get his feet wet. He's the STRETCH FOUR! He's the key to the season, unlike the past trade deadline trade. That's like saying we shouldn't play Shaq 26 minutes early in the season because he was awful...

My thoughts...the Cavs play ridiculous ball against the Bobcats..they allow them to play like superstars..Jackson was having his way..then players who shouldn't even be burning ,start hitting..
The Cavs never seem to play their style against that team...
Now AJ seems out of sorts..which I exected..no practice..no nothing...
Brown shuffling the lineup..but I did think Hickson should have started..he might have to tinker with that somewhat..
But they need to get it together tomorrow or they will get wasted ...

Man, screw the Bobcats!

Against us they drop 200 points and everyone is en fuego.

Last night they played the Bucks and reached a plateau of 88 points. WTF!
