I disagree -- if he's not continuing to shoot from outside how is he ever going to find consistency with his jumpshot? If anyone on this team has earned the right to work through a slump it's LBJ...keep shooting the ball Lebron!!! That doesn't mean that he stops setting up in the post, but he shouldn't stop shooting the jumper either.
I turned this game off after the first quarter - and the Cavs put up 40 in the fourth quarter.
Go figure.
Chicago might not be as easy tomorrow considering they are detroying phoenix right now and they got home court. It will be interesting to see what affect it has as a back to back for both teams.

Z was outjumped and outhustled all night. He looked rooted to the floor. The uptempo game is simply not what he can do at this point in his career. Same with Ben. Things were moving too fast. AV and the smaller lineup handled it better.
My point is that there were at least 30 anti LeBron posts in the first half...and not a single Z reference. I don't know what games you folks are watching. It's like you take a snapshot and bitch if the lighting isn't perfect.
We would be NOWHERE without LeBron. Nowhere. Losing record all these years.
Z? What were we before 2004?
I rest my case. You may now continue to blow the big man.
Moo
PS- It's fun when you play poorly and win!!!
This site is called "real Cavs fans" -- real fans don't turn off the TV if the Cavs are having a bad game.
That first half Z was doing a good job. Gave us an offense to go through whilst LeBron, Mo and co struggled. LeBron had a good second half and if you look at the voting for the game basically everyone had him down for the 2nd best player on the floor. Andy's energy was the big difference, so Z and Ben were never going to play ahead of him down the stretch, particulary when Wally was actually doing his job.
I understand your frustration about the fans carry on about LeBron. They are off the mark generally. Just if you want to flop that onto Z, wait for him to play poor first. Easily our 2nd best player early on.
We could beat the bulls as long as we defend the way we did on Wednesday. We have to force them into being a jumpshooting team.
Hopefully attacks them the way he did before, they have no interior defense. Lebron has to exploit that.
If we defend and move the ball around I think we can win. I'm interested to see how the cavs will start the game, if they come out lazy like they did today they will likely lose the game.
