I know it's not going to happen but I want to see TK in the starting lineup with Mo and Lebron. Bring Delonte off the bench.

I want MB to try different rotations and he is just not giving minutes to TK when he has proved that he can play very well off both Lebron and Mo.

With Wally being out now, TK will likely see more minutes. Against Portland his defense against B-Roy could be big for us.

I kind of like the idea, but i don't think Mike Brown will take Delonte out of the starting spot.

West needs to step it up.

Are you watching the games? Delonte's obviously having trouble on his three ball and recently his mental state, but he's still fighting through this and bring us other things like his defense, driving ability, ability to run the point, court vision, etc. He'll get it back; better go through a slump now than in the ECF.

Don't be so quick to turn on the guy just because your username has been insignificant the last couple games...

 

[Backstage]

Shooooooot. I just got home, but I had phone updates throughout. The kids I help direct were a bit weirded out with my excitement, but who cares? Cavs won, that's all that matters.

Anyone know if there's a repeat on FSN?

 

[Green Lantern]

Whew..that was a game..too bad Waly got hurt..Cavs stepped it up in the fourth..

I agree. I would like to see this in the playoffs. West would be the ultimate 3rd guard against any team.

I hate this idea.

I'm not sure if you're saying this, but if you think over the long-run that TK is a better defender than Delonte, you're crazy.

If you just want to start him, I take back calling you crazy. Although I think that idea is.

What an amazing game.. Great play by the Cavaliers to hold home court!!!

I'm not saying TK is a better defender than Delonte but from the little time we have seen TK he is a very good on ball defender.

We have to remember that Delonte is undersized so TK has the height advantage also.

Dont get me wrong, I like Delonte alot, I'm just saying try putting TK in the lineup to see what happens. It is worth the chance.

It's not like Tk starting is going to be a complete disaster because he sucks or something like that. He can play the game and more importantly he can play alongside Lebron.

Give the guy a chance is all I'm saying.

The refs determined the outcome of the game apparently....

It's true.

I saw Mark Wunderlich hold Dwight in the paint for 4.5 seconds, then Jack Nies pushed Courtney Lee right into Lebron on the last play.

Dirty refs....

 

[MetaFitX]

Great night and great win for the Cavs. Cavs win. Orlando loses. Celtics about to lose to Chicago. Home-court here we come!

 

[MetaFitX]

Curious to see who steps up and takes Wally's minutes now that he'll be out. I'm assuming for at least a few games. I'd like to see Sasha and TK get a few more minutes. That said, Sasha needs to stop taking those threes where he catches the ball, hesitates with a guy right smack-dab in front of him and then launches a clanker.

"You won't see that call again. That, I guarantee you," Van Gundy said. "You will not see, with the game on the line, a 3-second call in the last 10 seconds. That's part of the reason they're 30-1 at home. They're a very good team, and when you get calls like that [expletive], you're in pretty good shape."

Howard, too, felt the Cavs got a break.

"I was very surprised," he said. "I was in the lane and I got out. It seemed like their bench or their coaching staff got into the ref's ear about me being in the lane. Instead of letting the refs make the call, I guess the bench made the call."
