He hurt his thigh the game against Toronto......the brace goes past his knee but starts at the thigh....if you see the replay of the game tommorrow or the highlights you'll see one play where LBJ looks like the fastest person in the world.

As Promised here are some sights and sounds from tonight's game. My seats were in section 104 row 20. Not as great as last game I was at here but still pretty good. Unfortunately with a flip video the the zoom isn't that great...hope you all still like....

I haven't watched the game ( I dvr'd it), but I was looking through the box score and saw that LBJ played 41 minutes. Why on earth did Brown play him so much?

Anyways. Good win, a wins a win no matter who you play. When they played liked they cared they looked flawless, and if they put the press on all night they could've won by 50, but they settled for jumpers etc and still dropped 111 and won by 19. So never the less, I am pleased.

The Cavs were without West and Gibson tonight, then Mo got into early foul trouble.... he was kind of forced into it.

I didn't even notice the leg thing LBJ has wore until I just read it here....lol

Mo's foul trouble and Delonte being out meant that the rotations were screwed up. Then, Brown messed up in the 2nd half, in my opinion.

In the 1st half, Brown left LBJ in until 8:15 of the 2nd quarter, at which point Mo came in. Lead fluctuated from 21 down to 18 when LBJ came back in at 3:14 of the 2nd. Held that lead until halftime.

In the 2nd half, Brown left LBJ in at the start of the 4th, and the disinterested Cavs and feisty Nets meant the game started to shift. LBJ played his worst during the opening minutes, through the 9minute timeout, and all of a sudden it was down to an 11-point game with 6:30 left. LeBron had 2 assists and 0 pts during that stretch. And by then, Brown decided to keep riding LeBron to preserve the victory, and the Cavs pushed it back up to 17 with 2:26 left, when LeBron finally came out.

LeBron should have come out at the start of the 4th or at the 9 minute timeout, but Brown seemed intent on driving for an insurmountable lead with Cavs players who were pretty bored by then. It was a lost opportunity to save LeBron 3-5 minutes in the 4th, in my opinion. Would have preferred to see more Mo/Hickson in the 4th to save minutes for LeBron/Jamison.

The plus side is that LeBron wasn't exactly giving it his all in the 4th, so the amount of minutes in the 2nd half are not a big concern. They were playing out the string, and they have a day off. But I still didn't want to see LeBron come back out at the start of the 4th and again after that 8:52 to-go-timeout when the Cavs had a 17-point lead.

The stat sheet shows 41 minutes for Lebron...but if you watched the game, you know he "played" about 28 of those 41 minutes. He became bored and disinterested in the 2nd half and his effort went way down.

I would have liked to have seen more JJ in the 4th, he was playing great and hustling all over the place.

I live in Chicago, ans was watching the NJ feed off DirecTv last night. It was so bad for them, that their 'play of the game' and 'assist of the game' were both nasty LBJ highlights, with both NJ announcers just going crazy for Lebron. LOL.
