[KingJamesMVP]

Marshall and Jones shoot a combined 1-11.

That's pretty much par for the course though..

LePip, been listening to 'the chronic'??? :chuckles:

Snoop Pippy Pipp in the hiz-ouse

I never thought I would say this, but I can't wait to get back to Cleveland..

LePip I thought you LOVED Cali..?

 

[PIP]

For as much praise as Mike Brown got after game 1, he should get some criticism after tonight's game. Adjustments, particularly in game, weren't made. The problems with the offensive system also came back into play tonight. Not enough movement and too much 1 on 1 play.

I don't really agree with this, Narl...

The WIZ played extremely poorly in game 1... The shots that were not falling in that game were dropping tonight...

Gilbert making that almost halfcourt 3 and that play at the end with Z and LBJ going for the ball and throwing it back to Gilbert for the 3 point play is the game right there...

That's not even counting all the layups, postup easy jumpers and dunk that Bron missed...

I thought Brown had a snice sceme going in this one... Even more-so than in game 1... He made it a point to get Z the ball... He called plays for Gooden when hot... And they were pushing the ball....

LBJ just was not LBJ tonight... I don't think Brown had anything to do with that....

LePip I thought you LOVED Cali..?

I do... But there is just something missing about not being in Cleveland right now with what is going on...

I really miss it more than I thought I would...

Yeah, that's understandable

 

[PIP]

Oh BTW, someone needs to tell Z it's time to not be worthless.... 3-13 is not getting it done....

 

[cavincali]

This farking sucks. This feeling I have now is like when the Browns lost to the Steelers, luckily for the house I wasnt home during this game.

 

[KingJamesMVP]

Only 3-13? Seemed even worse than that...

That's cause he's robotic...

3-13 it is...

 

[G-MAN]

z has never got his rythem back since his ankle injury. i've posted it somewhere that haywood gives z trouble and his jumper didn't go down for the last 6 or 7 games. we need that. z back to the basket against haywood is not a good thing.

 

[NarlCavs]

Z does need to step it up. I thought he was fine in game 1 even if his numbers weren't huge but tonight wasn't a great performance. Cavs are going to need solid production from Z the rest of this series.

You're right G-Man about Haywood. For whatever reason he gives Z problems and Z hasn't been playing well against him. He matches up well sizewise and does a good job of preventing Z from posting up and getting to the spots where he wants to go.

 

[PIP]

Haywood gives Z problems because he makes Z catch the ball further out than he wants with his strength...

Z plays well against Shaq though, and he is much stronger than Haywood.

Z plays well against Shaq though, and he is much stronger than Haywood.

It's different because of Haywood's quicks... He's able to get up and block shots and recover quicker..

Z likes to shoot against the Heat.... It's much different with Haywood trying to block shots.... Z then tries to go into the post, and Haywood pretty much doesn't allow him position...
