Game 65 | Spurs @ Cavs | March 8, 2010 | 7:00pm (EST)

THIS WIN TOOK GARGANTUAN BALLS OF STEEL. MAD FUCKING PROPS TO THE CAVS TONIGHT.

 

[DougHeil]

Look at the distribution tonight:

J. Williams - 13 points
Jamison - 17 points
Hickson - 12 points
M. Williams - 17 points
West - 16 points
AV - 11 points

That is what I consider team basketball. This is easily the most impressive win of the season...without LBJ, Shaq, Z and Jamison the 2nd half. We were more clutch than a veteran savvy Spurs team.

The only downfall? I had class tonight so I missed the entire first and the first few minutes of the 2nd.

17 points. 8 rebounds. 8 assists. = Mo Williams

Damn. That close from a triple double.

17 points. 8 rebounds. 8 assists. = Mo Williams

Damn. That close from a triple double.

Yea, and all it took for him to get out of his funk was taking off that stupid shoulder sleeve...

But seriously, Mo is probably back. This is only one game, but his shot was looking much better tonight.

Windy must be a hater too.

Mo Williams is playing hard, he's got eight points, six rebounds and six assists. All that is good, but he's getting sliced and diced by George Hill at the defensive end. The Spurs had four points in the paint in the first quarter and 18 in the second. Largely because Hill, who had 13 points, destroyed Williams off the dribble and in transition. Williams has never been a good defender, but he's held his own a lot more than over these last few weeks. The issue is, he doesn't even seem to be trying to put himself in position. Maybe he's afraid of contact to his shoulder. Something is going on.

I was at the game tonight, got there super early.

Pre game, Jawad was out there early working on his post game with the coaches. Working on receiving passes then it working on the fake and shoot.

Hickson was working on his corner 15 footers from both sides, hitting 6 in a row in 3 different sets. If he can get a rhythm going in the game I think he can be really good from the mid range. He rarely gets those looks though but it'll be something that will fun to watch develop.

Mo was clanking a ton of shots before the game, it really had my spirits down before the game. I figured he was going to go 20% shooting again. Nice to not see that happen again.

Moon and Gibson were the only others out just working on 3's and talking to the people around the court mostly. Gib was knocking about 70% and Moon about 30%.



That post game is the reason that Mike Brown likes Jawad over Moon. Moon is a better defender but Jawad has a lot more confidence in his shooting and creating for himself.

Richard Jefferson is awful.

Mason missed a ton of wide open 3's. Good for Cleveland.

I dont get why they set that last play up for him as he had missed 7 3's before that

he was due for a make?

 

[Ruken]

Good for us it was him since he had a wide open look at it

Thrilled to see Delonte studying up to be Lebron's "Pippen". Pipin 101.

Or is that like "pipin' hot?"

My guess it it's supposed to be "Pimpin 101" :chuckles:

This is Delonte we're talking about...

• The Cavaliers are the first NBA team to 50 wins for the first time in their history.

• Each of the previous two teams to reach 50 wins first went on to win the title ('08-09 Lakers and '07-08 Celtics).

 

[Redz West is Best]

Someone will start a thread saying we should rest LeBron for the rest of the regular season

no but there is one where we should start Delonte... I think he should start if Lebron isn't playing for sure....i think we would do much better in that scenario. Delonte should play 40+ minutes when Lebron isn't playing.

I was so wrong about Mike Brown, guy's a genius. Can't have LeIso if you take away the "Le"! BRILLIANT, COACH!
