Game 74 | Cavaliers vs. Kings | March 28th, 2010 | 3:00 PM (EST)

The Cavs want the playoffs to start even more than I do...

Nice work to get Jamison involved in various ways throughout the game.

I think tonight was one of those games where playing a 10-man rotation would have helped with energy, since the 8-man rotation is not exactly firing on all cylinders, esp. without Varejao.

Also impressed by how the bench players who probably would have played harder than some of the starters were out there cheering on the team. Moon could be sulking but he is being a big-time cheerleader.

And, of course, very good news that Shaq's recovery is still going well as mentioned by Phelps.

Oh, well, it's one more game down toward the best overall record. Not much else to take away from this.

another unimpressive game from top to bottom for the Cavs ...Jamison impressed and tha twas about it...LBJ was coasting again and 39 point 2nd half was horrific to watch...CAN SOMOEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY THE CAVS SEEM TO FORGET WHAT THEY DID IN THE 1ST HALF EVERY GAME OFFENSIVELY WHEN THEY ARE GOING WELL AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY GO INTO LEISO AFTER HALF....VERY FRUSTRATING TO WATCH...AND I AM NOT A MB 1 BIT...He has had long enough to get these guys understanding team offense and yet late in games it's LBJ pounding the ball....why not post him up or run him off a screen instead of him dribbling to 1 on the shot clock and hoisting jumpers....if we don't win it all and this lack of offense is the reason late in games than MB can be shown the door...these guys haven't been motivated for sometime and that is on the HMIC

But if we win it all...then all is forgotten....

 

[DougHeil]

It's a win.

It is disturbing that players like Moon, J Williams, and Gibson are all but forgotten on this team.

It's also very clear the Cavs would not get out of the first round without Andy. The team has no passion or energy or desire without him.

 

[LeBronMVP]

How many players after Jordan left has averaged 30ppg while shooting 50% from field? Dwyane Wade came close to did it last season, but he didn't. LeBron is the only one capable of doing it right now. It's one thing to averaged 30ppg, but it's another to do it at such efficient and consistent level. Not only that, he's not even the third in most FGA. How many players can lead the league in scoring and still takes less shot attempts than other players? Not that many. LeBron is the best all-around player in the NBA, and i could careless what the haters have to say.

 

[Silky Smooth]

Mo has been kind of off lately but I think it has more to do with Jamison getting more touches. The one thing i like about what Mo has done is he has gone back to being in a PG's state of mind where he looks to get others involved before himself. In the long run it's going to make us that much better.

Lebron is gonna have to drop 253 points over the next 8 games to get 30 ppg exactly. That comes out to 31.625 ppg these next 8 games, and tbqh I doubt it'll happen. He's gonna sit out at least 2 fourth quarters in these coming games.

I was thinking just this while watching the game. Moon and Boobie still seem so interested and in the game, even though they're not. What a great team.

 

[TheNewEra]

I was at game, and crowd went crazy for Z, i saw that some you said it wasn't very loud on TV but it was very loud at game. It was very cool what the CAvs did, by giving away the Z sighns and during every TO, they showed videos of Z when he was young. They also had video where they put Ferry's face on the talking fish from mcdonalds commercial and it kept on saying give me back Z.

On T.V., it sounded pretty loud to me. You could tell that it was about 2x louder than the normal player introductions.

I agree that there isn't much to be take from this one. I'm to the point where I just want everyone to heal up so the Cavs can take their chances in the postseason. These games really are the dog days since it is pretty evident that homecourt will be locked up and there isn't much to play for at all. The magic number with the Lakers is only five. So, even if the Cavs finish 4-4, the Lakers would have to run the table to overcome them. It just isn't happening. The key is for the Cavs to get Z back in rhyhm, LeBron and Andy at full strength, and then work Shaq in once he gets back.

It's "I couldn't care less." Could care less means, well, you could still care less than you already do.

Sorry, that just bothers me because everybody says it like that.

:drink: Cavs always play focused in the playoffs. When we lost we lost because of lack of talent. We have it enough even without Andy (at least for first round opponent).
If anything, lack of desire, focus, is not what concerns me. Possible injuries and DH12 fouling Shaq and LBJ 20 time a game, is what concerns me.
