Got me in the mood for 2 sets of 25 pushups...lebron walked down the hall with his shirt off. that dude is enormous...
Wally World is fired up... :headbang:
Guys i have 1 important question:
Why the game start at 6:00 pm ET and not at 7:00 pm?She was scheduled at 7:00?Can someone explain me please...
He's in Wally World, dude... You can live however you want in Wally World...:chuckles:Have you really been living an hour behind for the past 2 days?
–This was a playoff-type game, at least an Eastern Conference playoff game. The Blazers were swarming on LeBron James and he was setting teammates up. At the defensive end, the Blazers were pretty much running the same play over and over by setting up LaMarcus Aldridge in the mid-post and working everything off him. The Cavs started trapping him down the stretch and then had some really good defensive rotations to challenge shots.
–The Cavs only had one turnover in the second half and held Portland to just 37 points. They gave up 15 offensive rebounds but just nine second-chance points, so they were able to survive that. Overall, that is an efficient effort at both ends, even if the game was quite ugly.
–LeBron said after the game that he didn’t think he played well, even though he had a triple-double. He didn’t shoot well, that is true, but I thought his overall game was pretty good. He was really able to make the right pass most of the time, especially in crunch time. If his teammates were able to hit some shots, he would’ve easily had 15 assists. It was the fewest points he’s scored in 22 games, but the most assists he’s had in five games. That is how he will have to play many times in the playoffs.
–I spoke with Ben Wallace after the game. He missed the second half with back spasms, which explains why he looked so flat-footed in the first half to me. He said it has been bothering him for a couple days, he sat out practice yesterday. He’s hoping it will loosen up over the next couple days, he is trying to treat it but it isn’t getting better right now. It is remarkable the Cavs were able to do what they did with their top two bigs out, Andy Varejao and Joe Smith combined for 34 points and 14 rebounds. That is quality depth.
–I thought Devin Brown did a pretty good job fighting Brandon Roy. He got inside a few times, but for the most part he kept him outside and made him take jumpers. Roy didn’t seem that active, even in the fourth when the Blazers wanted to go to him more.
–Damon Jones wore a camouflage hoodie to the game tonight and on the back the word “Handsome” was spelled out in sequins. Last year he wore around a winter coat that had “Damon Jones” on the back. Just in case “Jones” wasn’t enough. The license plate on one of his Mercedes is 4Point6, the amount of time that was left on the clock when he hit that series-winning shot against the Wizards two years ago. :rofl: By the way, the get ready to say goodbye to the MoHawk, he says he’s shaving it off after the road games at Washington and New Jersey.
