Great Win!!!!!!! Cavs Played Strong To Finish Them Off!!!!!! Booooyaaaaahhh!!
Super effort Eric Snow. We all had Bibby down for a points explosion, but he was admirable in defense and made some tough shots. I'd almost give him the key player award, but hughes and James were strong.
Ilgauskas and Drew were solid in the frontcourt. Jones and Marshall had unhappy games, but Henderson toiled well.

Awesome win I was falling asleep a little at the end, damn west coast road games, luckily this is the last one, these are tough on me...
Anyone else see a 14 year old girl was kidnapped in Lorain? They issued 2 alerts...sad stuff..I hate child abductors..

It was ugly, the team we beat wasn't that great, but it was on the road and it was a win. The effort was there it seemed, and enough D was played to take both Peja and Bibby out of their games. This makes the road trip decent.
Lebron I'm convinced is about the best finisher in the league. I was watching this on league pass, and the Sac-town announcers were pretty much talking more about the Cavs than the Kings.

Nice to get a win but still was far from a perfect performance. Cavs caught the Kings at a good time. That team is in trouble. They're a totally soft, offensive minded team. They make the Cavs look like a physical big time defensive team.
Solid games by the starters. Not much from bench with Jones and Marshall having mediocre games. Jackson got a whopping 2 1/2 minutes of playing time. Tough to step up or develop any consistency with those type of minutes.
LeBron still playing too many minutes. Interesting stat last night showed how with LeBron minutes increasing in the previous 5 games the Cavs have been playing worse.
I think our PG expectations have gotten so low that we're celebrating an 8 point 3 assist night from our starting PG like he had a dominant game. Snow was solid but far from spectacular.

On a team laden with 3 guys that can put up 20 points at will, what Snow did last night was great. He was very aggressive with the ball, and found good, solid ways to put it in the hoop. He was 4/5 from the field, very impressive. His 3 assists aren't anything to write home about, but he's more of a setup guy than an assister. Every since he got to the Cavs, he hasn't been much more than a 4 assist guy.
Not to mention the fact that he held Bibby to 4/13 shooting. Pretty impressive. Although Bibby did have a poor shooting night. But only 13 shots is nice, from a guy that should be shooting 18 shots a night.
Snow did do a good solid job. I just didn't think he was as great. He did do pretty well on Bibby although Bibby missed some open shots.
I also noticed a couple of times when the pass was made to Z and Snow went away to take the defender with him but Bibby basically stayed in a double team on Z and the Kings just let Snow go almost unguarded.
If Snow can play at a similar level that he played last night every night than I would be happy.
The lack of a backup C was noticable last night with Z in foul trouble. The Cavs can get away most nights with a PF at backup C but Henderson and Marshall should not play big minutes there and it's obvious Hamilton will only play in blowouts. Almost made me wonder if Jahidi White's size and physical play should be considered again. Of course he blew his chance coming into camp out of shape.
